Many GF options that aren’t typically at places like this — tourist cafeterias. Burgers. Chicken. Hotdogs. Grab n go salads etc. The person preparing our order took great caution changing gloves without us asking. Fries are GF even though menu says they are not. Our person assured us they were GF. I saw a chef standing out helping with the lines and she assured me the fries were made in dedicated fryer and were GF. Had no reaction at all to the chicken sandwich and fries. Very pleased especially for this type of location. In my experience tourist cafes aren’t safe and don’t have many options!
Not a great selection of good, but it was nice to see GF items in the menu. The staff changed their gloves to prepare our plates, so it seems they’ve had some pretty decent training on GF.
Staff was helpful and it was great to have food available at a National Park! Food was clearly labeled

Friendly staff that was happy to let us know what was safe for our celiac kiddo. She loved the options and ate a good meal with no reactions. Wonderful unexpected find for the visit.
My two kids have celiac. The Crown Cafe advertises a number of gf options and has signs that say, “food allergies? We’ve got you.”
Instead, we waited in a long line to order. The person taking our order said they couldn’t do gf pizza. Then went and checked and said they could if I waited 12 minutes. I said ok, ordered one cheese and one pepperoni, and stood sweating next to the line for 30 minutes. A full 30 min. It was incredibly hot. I waited while my smoothie melted and my own lunch got cold. Once pizza came out. I guess only one had been made… I was told I could wait another “12 minutes”. I pointed out it had been 30. The person taking my order shrugged.
My kids have been gf for almost 4 years, we’ve travelled a lot of places- this is the first time an establishment has made me cry. I had 2 kids and one lunch and no one at Crown Cafe cared. So far no one has gotten sick, so
I guess they have that going for them, although by the time the one pizza came out I had very low confidence in its safety.
Not allergy friendly at all. Which is a choice… but don’t claim that you are. If they didn’t claim to have gf options, I would have fed my kids yogurt and fruit and whatever else I could scrounge together. And don’t treat people like this. It’s a real bummer that my clearest memory for a trip to the statue of liberty is weeping about a pepperoni pizza.
A welcome nice, clean, respite with many selections that we did not expect to see at a national monument. Each server/cashier tend to take one order at a time, which made us feel safe for allergies. My wife is gluten intolerant, and they have gf pizza and buns. The server waited ten minutes for the pizza to be made and served no one else during that time. We waited at the register until food was ready. I think this is a good practice to eliminate order errors in a fast food convenience type operation, especially with gf and allergies.
prepackaged sandwich tasted like shit but i powered through. it also stated it was produced in a factory that also handles wheat. I did not notice this until I was halfway through so pray for me
Different gluten free options: pizza could be made gluten free, but we decided on the pre-made gluten-free turkey sandwich. Good lunch at a spot where there are no other options.
Lots of hot food choice, at least 2 cold sandwich options and cookies
Told them I had coeliac disease and the server said 'Okay, I will change my gloves'. Always comforting to hear that. Burgers and hotdogs with GF options.
