Summer House

Ordered the gluten free pancakes and they were the best I’ve ever had. They aren’t on the brunch menu so just ask your waiter. Food came out with a marked allergy flag. Didn’t have any reaction after.

I wanted to like this place, but unfortunately I had a reaction after eating here. I told the staff that I had Celiac and my food was marked with an "allergy" toothpick. I suspect it was an accidental cross contamination issue.

Whoever is handling your food will change gloves, clean the workstation, grill, etc., and use clean utensils.

I had a delicious grilled salmon with roasted potatoes. Nice sized portion, finished it with no leftovers.

Wonderful ambience. Ate outside because of COVID, but it was lovely. The staff are sanitizing all the tables between customers, wearing gloves and masks, and keeping the tables at least 6 feet apart.

The staff are knowledgable, there is an (extensive) GF menu, and all food comes out with a little allergy flag. Have eaten here many times without any issue and it's always delicious!

Great restaurant-- both for adult outings and family brunch with little kids. I regularly make the 30+ minute drive to eat here because they are both great about celiac and have options to please everyone else. Highly recommend the mexican hashbrowns, fries are in dedicated fryer, delicious cookies, pancakes, etc.

I added pictures of the latest dinner menu - the sweet potato waffle fries can be done in a GF fryer.

Also added pics of brunch - pancakes, a cinnamon roll - amazing!

GF cinnamon rolls and cookies! Yum. Almost the whole manu can be made gf and food comes out marked allergen. Great kids menu. Good service. Everyone at the table voted to come back (both gf and non-gf).

Excellent breakfast place. Lots of options, even GF pastries. Summery atmosphere.

Great brunch for GF kids! Chocolate chip pancakes. Cookies and cinnamon rolls. Super friendly and helpful staff. And the allergy sticks in the GF food is a nice touch. I have one happy kiddo!

The gluten free menu is a little outdated but there were a lot of options and the staff was very helpful. When my first two choices ended up unavailable, they recommended another based on what I was in the mood for and comped my meal as an apology for the inconvenience. I had the watermelon tuna appetizer and it was fantastic.

Went here for brunch and it was delicious. Different options than us Gluten free folk usually get. Adorable atmosphere.

GF menu. Food comes out with allergy stick in it so you feel safe knowing your food should be correct. Sever said something was gf then later came back to tell me he was wrong.

Great gluten free pancakes and cookies.

My order always comes with a stick on the top saying “allergy” and the staff are all extremely knowledgeable about options

Celiac friendly?

They have an entire gluten free menu with options not even available on the regular menu! Food was delicious and service was excellent. 10/10

The staff were very knowledgeable and accommodating! My girlfriends and I ordered 3 GF items: cinnamon roll, hash brown Benedict, and blueberry pancakes. All were delicious and I didn’t have any symptoms afterwards. Highly recommend!

Though I don’t know how it would be for non-Celiacs, the gf cookies are absolutely not safe. I was very excited to try them and they were delicious, but I had a major reaction to them.

Great GF French Dip.

My new favorite local restaurant. The GF menu is separate and a whole page! Lots of options. Went back for dinner and it was a different menu. Had the enchiladas, delicious. Ahi tuna appetizer great too. We will be back.

When looking for brunch places in the area with a good gluten free menu, I couldn't find nearly any! But then I stumbled upon this AWESOME restaurant in Bethesda. For the first time in a long time, I had eggs Benedict! So delicious! And I didn't get sick at all! They also have amazing gf choco chip cookies! I haven't been back again for lunch, but I plan on returning soon!
