I was served gluten free mini waffles. The waitress, who delivered them, came back 5 minutes later with another order of waffles, and told me I was eating the wrong waffles. The ones she was holding looked identical to the ones she served me so I can see how the error was made. The restaurant has no way to identify gluten-free items. She didn't charge me the meal which was cold comfort

Fluffy and delicious gluten free pancakes. There’s no GF menu, and these aren’t listed on the regular menu, but there’s a sign posted in the restaurant advertising them. Appear to be made in a dedicated pan, as I had no reaction after eating. Can’t say that about a lot of breakfast places/items. Look forward to returning!

Definitely not good for gluten free. No gluten free menu, and I was told that the only option for me was the gluten free pancakes. The server told me "the menu is not at all accessible for gluten free". Would not recommend.
