I’ve eaten here multiple times over the years and I’ve never gotten sick. Usually do an omelette with pancakes on the side. Super happy to have a place to eat with my GF and non GF friends that we all love 🥰🌈🌈🎉🎉

It was great being able to have pancakes! They wipe the pan clean for celiac disease to help minimize risk of cross contamination. However I found the omelette and hash browns to be a bit bland.

So good! I had the eggs,bacon, gluten free pancakes, and their seasonal pumpkin spice latte with whipped cream. It is all very good. I have celiac and felt fine all day.

Wanted pancakes so badly, but my waiter informed me all of their pancakes and waffles are cooked on the same surface as gluten containing items (flat top that they don’t clean off). Nothing is safe from cross contamination. He recommended I order an omelet with fruit as that’s the only part of the kitchen that doesn’t have gluten containing items prepared in it.

Did that and felt great.

So many things here are GF. I ordered a skillet with hash browns and eggs and it felt safe and was delicious. I also ordered a side of GF pancakes. They were definitely GF in comparison to the regular ones I saw. So I felt safe eating them but they weren’t super delicious. If you eat here, stick with the amazing egg dishes! So crowded but good service nonetheless.

Delicious!! and celiac friendly, with name options, but I'm not sure all the staff knew enough about cross contamination in the kitchen, so some of the advice we got was more careful and some less - we ate here twice

Unfortunately I didn't have a good experience… I ordered gluten free pancakes, but I'm not sure if they were or not as I felt really bad afterwards. I don't recommend it, very risky.

Looks like other people have had bad experiences, but mine was good. Waitress had food allergies and was familiar with the kitchen. She told them about my celiac, told me not to get the pancakes (shared skillet). Tested the garden skillet with my Nima and it tested negative for gluten. Didn’t feel any symptoms either.

I am sure I have been given non-gluten fee pancakes before. They are terrible and remembering to mark take out food as gluten free so I have had to throw out food before because they couldn’t tell me wether or not what they gave me was really gluten free.

Staff was very knowledgeable and explained what was most likely to have cross contamination issues. They cleaned the griddle before making my daughter’s pancakes and she was in heaven. We were told to not old any toast as the same toaster is used for non-gf products.

The menu indicates many GF items none of which are actually safe for those with Celiac; however, that’s not explicitly indicated on their menu. Our waiter was thankfully forthright & advised us when I told him my daughter is Celiac. We promptly left to find a safe place to eat.

The waitress told me she had a gluten intolerance and that the restaurant had a separate grill for gluten free items. I’m currently in my bathroom 30 minutes after eating, unable to leave the toilet. I don’t recommend. :(

Absolutely delicious gluten free pancakes that can be made in almost all of their speciality flavors. Gluten free waffles available too. However, they do not have a separate gluten free menu or mark which items are gluten free on the regular menu.

I got the gluten free waffles and berries and paid for it the next 12 hours with extreme and pain and bloating… guessing cross contamination or they gave me regular waffles. I’m not even celiac and usually am not sensitive but this was so bad.

Great food but they have no gluten free toaster for the gluten free toast😥. Unsure if they use a separate space for other gluten free items, I doubt it.

I just got the toast untoasted lol. Egg harbor goes out of their way a lot more to ensure no cross contamination.
