I was really upset with my experience here. I was told they had dedicated waffle iron but that was false information. There was not much I could eat at this establishment except for eggs, which I unfortunately don’t like. It’s hard to be promised something will be safe, but when I arrive I find out they have nothing I wanted. Really disappointed.

everything we ate was delicious! i had a gf waffle (they have a dedicated gf waffle iron!) and it was super fluffy. other people in my party had non gf food and all said it was delicious (it was even mentioned that the scrambled eggs were some of “the best they’ve ever had”) definitely recommend this place

This place is always amazingly understanding and takes great care to make the food safe. My pancakes are always served with a gluten free marker on them to ensure they’re even handled safely by staff. Definitely recommend.

Dedicated gluten-free section of the kitchen. Gluten free pancakes are clearly marked as such (with a little wooden market) when they come out of the kitchen.

A must! I had a gf plain waffle, eggs, and hash browns with sweet onions. Everything came out with a gluten free allergen stick, the syrup is made in house so is for sure gluten free, and the waffles are made in a separate waffle iron. Everything tasted amazing too. Very knowledgeable staff and a separate gf menu.

Came here as a mix of me (gf) and family (not gf) and they asked if my gluten free waffle was an allergy or a preference and seemed confident when I said it’s an allergy. Really tasty and I don’t feel sick at all
