Summer House Santa Monica

They can make the original egg sandwich on corn tortilla rather than wheat bun. Just ask for it.

Just placed our order on September 2, 2023. I’m ordering the grilled chicken tacos after speaking with the server. He seemed very knowledgeable and walked me through the menu. - Salads are pre-made so they come as listed - They use a shared frier, so I stayed away from fries - The burgers and sandwiches can be made without bread/buns (no gf bread) - tacos are a safe bet on corn tortillas

Stopped mid review because our food arrived! Tacos were great for airport food and pretty solid in non airport food. Husband also enjoyed his gluten filled chicken sandwich and fries. Would recommend!

Stopped here 05/10/23 for a quick bite in between flights- usually super anxious about eating at airports as safe food options are limited. My server was extremely knowledgeable and even suggested things on the menu for me. I had the burger no bun with a side salad.

Nothing listed as gluten free on the menu but there are options!

Friendly service & delicious food!

Stopped here between flights on 5/8/23 with cautious/low expectations because of the previous mixed reviews. The February 2023 review is correct. They do NOT have GF marked on menu and they do not have GF bread/buns, but they do have salads and tacos (corn tortillas) that are GF if you speak with a server who is knowledgeable. Fries and chips are not GF due to cross contamination in the fryer. I got the tacos, they were ok/good for airport food, the guacamole was the best part.

July 14, 2021 - I was just here. The manager said nothing is safe, everything has gluten. No gluten free options or menu. I’m not sure why this was so highly rated. I literally walked a mile from my gate to eat here due to the glowing reviews only to find they literally have nothing that is safe for gluten sensitivities or celiac. Maybe pre-Covid they had a better menu, but not now.

Ate here twice and was safe. I ordered off of the menu, not the brunch menu. Server knowledgeable and items on menu marked gf. In addition, server said that most of items on menu can be made gf. I explained that I am gluten free, have celiac disease, and am very sensitive to gluten. Server then said that having celiac further restricts items I can order from. I went on a weekend afternoon and they were very busy. I did not want to make any other special requests b/c busy, so I ordered items that were marked gf from menu. It is pricy , but really, my main concern is not getting sick. My suggestion is to tell your server that you have “celiac disease”, b/c they seem to take extra care if you use that term.

Celiac friendly?

They forgot my order and I waited 40 minutes. Then they put toast on top. I was able to get a new order and it was fine.

Let them know you are gluten free and they will make you one of the Omelettes with no toast. I had the spinach and kale - just make sure to tell them because they put it all on one plate.
