Called in the morning and was told they would prepare chicken in a separate pan but when I got there was told they cook their meet on the same grill as the pita so not reliable for celiacs. I was happy they informed me about this. Not reliable for celiacs.

Restaurant has several items marked as "gluten-free available" (look for red asterisks on menu) but you do need to specify that you need it gluten-free. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable because her boyfriend has celiac, she told me she'd tell them to not toast the bread for my chicken BLT because it's a shared toaster - and when she brought my dish out and saw it was toasted, she brought it right back and made them cook me a new one. Unfortunately, fries are not gluten-free (they're dusted with wheat) but the chicken BLT with a side garden salad was plenty filling.

Many clearly marked gluten free options. Daughter and I had a chicken dish and husband had fish. All were served with salad and rice. Everything tastes so fresh and delicious! Server was very knowledgeable. No gluten free pita so have to skip that part but you are served plenty of food for your main course! The person who brought us the pita and hummus was not our waitress and didn’t know we had ordered gluten free. I’m glad I double checked on the pita before we ate it!

We had a delicious meal with no reactions. Had steak, salads and chicken. Our server was amazing as her brother-in- law has celiac so she was more than happy to double check the dressings and every item. We lucked out with her as the hostess was clueless. The menu was marked as GF but you need to still double check and tell the staff that you have a “gluten allergy”.

The menu has clear gf denotations! They use shared toasted but let me know so i could choose not to toast the gf bread. They offered homefries instead of fries which were shared fryer and coated with flour. Overall quite good meal will definitely return

Pretty decent options but you need to advocate for yourself when it comes to cross contamination. Ate here once and got French toast and I was fine but then I ate a cheesesteak on gf bread and they toasted it and I’m pretty sure it was in the same common toaster because I got sick:(

Kid is celiac. They are not friendly for kids, as they do not have a dedicated frier, no kids menu, nor could offer a gluten free bun for a burger. They have gluten free bread.

I had the gluten free French toast. Delicious and a generous portion. Reasonably priced as well. I would definitely come back.

Lots of gluten free options. I had the chicken souvlaki, and they were able to prepare it safely. No pita bread and rice instead of rice pilaf. It was really good and large portions. I’ve heard the burgers here are good, and they offer a gluten free bun. The fries are not safe for celiacs.

Overall a nice selection of gf options, but try to go at a slower time of day. As always, use your judgement if you're a sensitive celiac.

When I called ahead, they told me they could accommodate me best during slower times. Four stars for uncertainty since they have a small kitchen and thus can't make any guarantees, but I personally didn't have any trouble. They don't put anything with gluten on the grill, so I felt good about getting the grilled chicken souvlaki platter (the menu mentions grilled pita, but I was told that it's grilled in a separate skillet). It was delicious, and they gave me plenty of food, enough to have another meal the next day. I also tried the lentil soup which was naturally gf (although I'm aware that lentils can potentially have cross contamination in the growing and harvesting process, so you might want to avoid it if you're really sensitive). They asked me if I wanted gf toast instead of pita, but I remembered other reviewers saying they don't have a separate toaster so I steered clear. Nice to know they offer it, though. The only problem I had was from eating too much! The second time I went here I ordered the grilled salmon and shrimp combo, with mashed potatoes instead of the rice that usually comes with it, also delicious!

Totally unsafe for Celiacs. Nice menu, SOME GF items, but not Celiac safe at all. They told us they couldn’t accommodate my daughter at all. They couldn’t use clean utensils for her and her chicken would likely have breadcrumbs dropped onto it. Plus no dedicated toaster. Great people, totally nice manager and waitress... but completely unsafe.

They have French toast and bread. I had eggs with home fries and toast. The toaster is shared, which they inform you of upon ordering. Everything marked on menu and can make sandwiches and smoothies.
