“GF” on their menu only means “no gluten ingredients.” They need special instructions if you have celiac. For example, one of my favorite dishes is the pan seared salmon. You need to tell them to use a separate pan for the salmon, otherwise it is cooked on the same cooktop as everything else. And substitute another vegetable for the Brussels sprouts, which are fried in the same fryer as gluten items. A manager named Sam was very helpful in letting me know the need modifications. I assume that anything like GF pancakes also needs to be cooked separately.

We had Migas with Cashew Queso. They were delicious and we felt great after eating them. We have allergies and are aware of dairy and gluten in food within a bite or two. The food was excellent!

Gluten free options are prepared in the same areas as everything else, if you are celiac do not eat here.

Asked about the pancakes and was told that if I could actually not eat gluten not to order them. Ordered eggs instead (without any flour added to the mix). Still got sick.

Service was ok, wait staff was nice. This place is extremely loud.

This is my third time getting sick at Kerbey Lane. I went to Round Rock on a girls weekend with my friends. Years ago I’d been to Kerbey Lane and got sick, but at the time I’d just been diagnosed wit CD. A few years ago I went and ordered fried items because I didn’t understand cross contamination. This time, I was sure I’d be OK because I’m knowledgeable, I advocate for myself, and I called ahead and spoke w a manager. They told me who would be working when I got there the next day so I could speak with them and they could watch my order from start to finish. After speaking with him while there, he said the only things really safe for a celiac were breakfast tacos on corn tortilla or chili pie. Since it was 8:15pm, I went with chili pie. Within an hour i was cramping. If you have CD, don’t eat here. They mean well, but nothing is actually safe.

Their gluten-free food should not be advertised. I get sick everytime I try to eat there. The waitstaff looks put-off when I tell them. They cross-contaminate all the time. Tastes like cardboard. Very unhappy. Won't go back.

Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan labeled on the menu. They also have a supplemental guide to tell you how to change other menu items to make them safe too.

Wonderful accommodating restaurant with a huge allergy-friendly menu and a very good understanding of food intolerances. And the food was so, so good! We visited three times while vacationing in the Round Rock area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waitstaff rolled their eyes at me (literally) on several occasions when I asked about gluten free cross-contamination prevention. They don't exercise it so it's not Celiac safe to eat at any Kerbey Lane.

Kerbey Lane is an Austin icon. That being said, it's not Celiac safe, and they've transformed from a cheap all night eatery to a borderline soulless boogie strip mall establishment where everything is overpriced and underwhelming. The attitude of the wait staff when asked about cross-contamination, etc. is flippant.

Great pancakes, awesome service, but be careful and ask questions — they have fries marked gluten free but they are made in the same fryer as everything else!

Yesterday I discovered Kirby Lane does not have a dedicated fryer for anything. Which is something they don’t advertise. So if you’re vegan or gluten free, ask a LOT of questions. They advertise fried foods as gluten free and this is a lie. A lie that made me sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Nice place and good gluten free options. The enchilada was delicious! Although they have put the regular pancake together with the gluten free for the first time , but they made the gluten free again for me as I requested.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They were very friendly! And have very good gluten free pancakes!

Celiac friendly?

Excellent food. Safe experience.

Great experience here today, will be one of our go-to breakfast places now. I wasn’t expecting to be able to get gluten free french toast! Such a treat.

Beware! The waitress told me there is an error on their menu - something marked GF is not truly GF.

Celiac friendly?

No

I love Kerby Ln gluten free enchiladas, queso and chips. I’ve eaten this dish many times and never got sick. Love the service and atmosphere too.

It's hard not to love Kerbey Lane. All of the wait staff I've encountered have been well versed in what they have available for gluten free items and it's quite a lot. They even have GF French toast!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf pancakes and other items labeled gf. Excellent food but difficult parking.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I used to love this place and the food is amazing if you can eat handle cross contamination but it’s not safe for my fellow celiac buddies

Celiac friendly?

No

Great food and options but quite often get cross contamination so not celiac safe (pancakes for sure are not!)

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered gluten free pancakes and they brought regular pancakes. Then they took a long time to bring the GF pancakes. My husband was done with his breakfast by the time I got mine. Pancakes weren’t bad.

Celiac friendly?

No

Delicious food. Items clearly marked gf. Waitress was very knowledgeable about celiac. Definitely go again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My first time here was great. Sat at the bar and had the Greek chicken. They subbed out pita bread for cucumbers for my hummus. Delicious! My second time was breakfast - they didnt sub out the English muffin for toast even though my ticket did say gluten free sub on it-so totally kitchen's fault. Luckily I caught it and sent it back. Makes me a little nervous to eat there again

Fluffy GF pancakes, and didn't get sick. Buying a box of GF pancake mix to go is just under $4 and tastes great.

Celiac friendly?

No

This location once claimed to have dedicated cooking and prep surfaces for GF items. This is absolutely no longer the case. The servers seemed very unfamiliar with which items were or were not GF, and served both my partner and me gluten pancakes after we informed them of an allergy. Not safe at all.

Celiac friendly?

No

Nice staff, but I get sick there now when I never did before. I think they just stopped taking gluten seriously, which is unfortunate. Will miss it :(

Celiac friendly?

No

Lots of selections any time of day. Wait staff and kitchen don’t always communicate well so double check things when they arrive. My omelet arrived with the sour cream sauce (not GF), sent back for a redo but waiter placed side dish container back on the plate that still had the sour cream sauce all over the side.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Kerbey has gluten feee pancakes and other offerings. If you ask them to avoid cross contamination they will explain the precautions they take. They even informed me that my omelet had a sauce with gluten and offered to sub out a gluten free sauce.

Wife was glutened here once. Nice GF menu, but cross contamination issues are rampant in our experience.

Celiac friendly?

kerbey lane has updated their menu to not the gf choices. i haven't seen that gluten free-ish menu in a while. they offer a different gf pancake every week. they have a gf bread for sandwiches, toast and french toast. vegetarian options too. i usually get the pancakes - they will remind you of ihop or cracker barrell- this location has that lamar vibe. wait an average of 30 minutes when i'm here on the weekends. well worth it.

Gluten free menu is very large and the food is all fantastic. They have breakfast all day and have gluten-free pancakes. I had the most delicious breakfast tacos.

Celiac friendly?

No

Don't eat here if you have Celiac Disease! The sickest I've ever been! One star because you're forced to at least pick one.

Celiac friendly?

No

terrible food. like Denny's but worse

Celiac friendly?

No

Terrible food and loud atmosphere. Just like a Denny's but worse

Celiac friendly?

No

So nice to find a large selection of gluten free breakfast items........ Toast, French toast, and pancakes.

Don't bother eating here if you have celiac. The menu is only "gluten friendly-ish". And honestly the food is only okay and not worth the tummy ache I have after eating there.

Celiac friendly?

No

Red Quinoa Salad was excellent! Subsequent visit - ate the gf pancakes. Got sick. Won't make that mistake again.
