Yes, it is true. I went here three times during my stay. Yummy. I got the pancake flight twice. Was able to try many different flavors. The only one I couldn’t have was the banana bliss pancake but the rest were gluten free. I had the cinnamon roll pancake, upside down pineapple cake pancake, pumpkin pecan pancake, strawberry shortcake (I think that is what that one was called (my fave), and blueberry. Their spicy bacon was divine! They asked me right away if I have any food concerns or allergies. It isn’t noted gf on their menu but most everything can be done gf. Did not get sick at all. P.S. sign up for their rewards program and get a free pancake flight (an over $19 value). Used it on my last day. Score!
Ate here twice! I usually don’t eat on days that I travel because of the risk, but I ate here the day before, felt full and didn’t have a reaction. The waiter said they take dietary needs seriously - changing their gloves, cleaning surfaces and have a separate grill for gluten free foods.
Server knew about gluten allergies. No GF menu but they can make about anything GF except the loco moco, crab cake eggs Benedict, and one of the pancakes. Latte was delicious. Service was a little slow. I ordered the monte cristo and it was not exactly as described probably due to the GF bread. Didn’t get sick.
Excellent service. Amazing food. Most items can be made GF. Items marked when they come out. Kitchen takes all precautions for celiacs (change gloves, clean grill, etc). The best GF pancakes. My husband tried them (he’s not celiac) and said , “they don’t taste gluten-free.” I had the pancake flight…3 different flavors. All very unique (& sweet). Also had the maple pepper bacon. It was heavy on the maple and very light on pepper. I would’ve preferred more pepper, but that’s just a personal preference. Still tasted great.
Great food. They take gluten free seriously. Separate cooking area. Gf toast. Plates have the GF flag. 2 celiac guests were fine 2 days in a row. Must try!
I eat here very often and ensure everyone handling my order knows I have celiacs. They are very good at providing me bread toasted in a pan and pancakes cooked separately. Sadly not dedicated, so there is a risk. They mark pancakes with a glutenfree toothpick; less "risky" items do not come out marked but I check with the food runner to confirm.
This place is not safe for a Celiac. I was going to eat here but called ahead to check on safety measures. Spoke with a manager, who stated:
1) Flour is readily used in the kitchen.
2) There is no dedicated GF kitchen, including lack of toaster or fryer.
3) All food is made on shared equipment, and any tools cleaned cannot be guaranteed safe against cross contamination (and she said no extra measure is taken to prevent it).
Yes, almost all meals can be "modified" to be "gluten friendly/free" as other reviewers stated, but they neglect to clarify that these modifications still come in contact with guaranteed cross-contamination within the kitchen.
I was frankly surprised more so at the other Celiac reviews, that the precaution wasn't taken to vet a location and provide critical feedback for other Celiacs. Cross contamination is an extremely important item to verify. I just don't get it.
This location is absolutely not safe to eat at unless you "choose" to be GF for non health-safety reasons.
We stopped here on our first morning of a quick get away to Denver on recommendation of a friend and this app! Did not disappoint in any way! As others have mentioned, almost the entire menu is or can be modified to be gluten free and the staff is very knowledgeable. We were seated at the bar on a busy Sunday morning, which gives you a little pause when you have to ask all the Celiac questions, but our server was amazing and grabbed a dry erase to mark off the things (like all 3 of them) that I couldn’t eat. I ended up going with the traditional Eggs Benedict and they were superb! Cleaned my plate superb. Don’t hesitate if you are considering going here, you won’t regret it!
I had an experience some months ago that I was served regular toast instead of gluten-free when I had explicitly requested gf “allergy”. I realized it as soon as I bit into it and was able to rinse my mouth out. This was in part due to a new server, and I hope training has improved. I’ve gone back since and have not had a problem with gluten again, but I don’t choose to go there if I have a choice. FYI, hash browns are better earlier in the day. Toward closing time they’ve been sitting and are not as fresh. I order mine crispy. I’m also dairy free so am limited in what I can order here. They have gf pancakes on the menu, but last I asked they were cooked on a shared griddle. Staff is in general friendly and helpful.
Tasty food, with a larger than average gluten-free selection. My server was decently knowledgeable on the items that could be made gluten free but not as versed on the cross contamination practices that could make them that way. However, she asked the back all my questions, and I was able to safely eat some tasty breakfast tacos and hash browns without getting sick.
They use Udis gluten free bread (can we please get a petition to get restaurants to offer something better here). And parking was a bit difficult to find but not impossible. Would 100% return again!
