Gluten-Free at Eggspectation

Staff is eager to help and knows about Celiac. The first time that my husband and I went the server told us that almost the entire menu could be modified to be gluten free. (However, we've since found out that their menu is about to change, so hopefully the new menu will be just as accommodating.) Thanks to one of the other Find Me Gluten Free reviewers, I had the GF Stuffed French Toast. (They substitute a GF bagel - flavor of your choice. I chose the cinnamon raisin.) It was delicious!

Fantastic pancakes however they cannot guarantee cross contamination for all their GF offerings. (I’m not celiac). All 4 of us had tasty meals.

Online they have a legend with a marker for things that can be made gluten free, but the menu in house and online were void of any items marked with it. I asked about a GF menu and was told they don’t have one but that the waitress could list them, and she did, all bread products that are GF but no info on the actual menu items. I asked about egg dishes and was told “You’re asking the wrong person”, she then went away to ask and came back and said eggs are ok but at that point I was playing 20 questions. She said if I needed for them to exclude the butter to make the dish safe they could… ummm seriously? I asked about the potatoes and she said they weren’t safe and I should avoid them so they didn’t try to kill me. I had no feeling of safety so I left before ordering. A different waitress, or speaking with a manager, or better marking of the menu may have made that a completely different experience, but as it was we burned a 20 minute wait for nothing.

My 13 year old has celiacs (She also has severe food reactions to dairy, egg, and coconut. However, can have eggs cooked in things as well as butter.)

She got the GF French toast, GF toast, and bacon and loved it!

We do quite a bit of traveling and I'm always a bit nervous. They did a great job!

PS - did you know there is now a gluten tester called Nima?! You can use that to be sure.

I called to place an order- Jason was EXTREMELY helpful! Like someone else stated, he mentioned that the potatoes use a shared fryer. The omelettes are cooked with oil (not butter, for DF). They even have three different GF bagel flavors (plain, cinnamon, everything). Great experience- makes me feel comfortable eating here!!

It was good! The eggs were not quite as done as I'd have liked, but I had no reaction to the food. The kitchen staff told me that they make everything that is gluten free separate from the gluten products (so eggs are made on a grill where no gluten is also cooked, for example).

Delicious gluten-free breakfast. Staff knew what we needed, knew what we could safely substitute and advised against ordering menu items that could be cross contaminated.

I had the corned beef hash which came with breakfast potatoes, eggs and fresh fruit of berries and melon. The potatoes are fried in the same fryer but I talked to the executive chef and he says he can boil them in water instead and then could sauté so they will not be cross contaminated.

They also have turkey sausage and turkey bacon. It is uncured and no fillers.

They have fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juices

The chicken is Coleman brand and antibiotic free.

Separate waffle maker for gf waffles and they clean the grill very often and will clean grill before making your pancakes if requested.

I would call the chef out to the table because the waiter was not up to date on the particulars.

Overall it was a great experience!

They also use free range omega 3 eggs.

The staff knew what gluten free was. We have eaten there at least 20 times at any time of the day. NEVER had a problem. So nice to feel safe to eat

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Upon entering the restaurant the door handles are whisks. I knew I was in for a special treat. My breakfast was amazing. All foods are labeled GF. The staff was very helpful. I would highly recommend this restaurant if in the area.

Not on the menu, but they do have GF bread!

Visited here for brunch. Other than replacing bread and ordering eggs there was very little our 9 year old could eat. They were able to adapt the menu and make her a grilled cheese sandwich but definitely not gf pasta or pancakes available as listed by a previous diner.

Great for celiacs!! Very knowledgeable staff

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a great "eggsperience"! Our waitress, Michelle, was attentive to my sensitivity to gluten and helped with options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This location is always slow. Servers and hosts have no interest in helping you. Go to Leesburg for really good GF service. Centerville is okay. We will NEVER go to this location again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Menu is adaptable and gluten free bread available. No chips as due to cross contamination.

This place has been great about hearing their customer’s GF needs and making adjustments. They offer GF flatbread now, as well as GF waffles. It’s so nice to find places that want to give their GF customers interesting food and not just salad.

Great GF omelette with a GF bagel on side. Knowledgeable wait staff. Was told there’s a notice to the kitchen for gluten allergies. Wait staff even pointed out potatoes are fried in the same fryer as gluten products & served separately (or replaced).

Very disappointing! The GF Eggs Benedict was gross! We couldn’t eat the bagel because it was so hard, lacked flavor, and service was slow. We will not be returning! Also, so overpriced!

The food here is amazing, unfortunately however, there aren't many gluten free or dairy free options (or other allergies). For gluten free you can do eggs or a salad, with one or two other main dish options (which all have dairy). The waitstaff is very friendly and willing to assist to try and accommodate, but the options are just limited.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good GF breakfast......GF bagels (although a bit small, was very good) eggs, sausage, ham, Canadian bacon, bacon ....yum!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good omelettes, careful about cross contamination. They offer two kinds of bagels, plus fruit that are gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Decent gluten free menu- my favorite is Eggs Benedict on polenta!

Great food. Waitress didn't know what gluten was though. I honestly thought I was in the clear until a day later but seriously it must've been a very minimal trace, almost no symptoms

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great breakfast and lunch spot. Good gluten free options.

Server was not knowledgeable at all. Even after emphasizing that I was a celiac and expressing that I could not have ANY wheat - they still brought my breakfast out with toast touching my eggs. Sounds silly but one crumb can make me sick for days.

Menu lists GF items. Have GF bagels. Many good options. Accommodating.

Delicious!! My most favorite meals are the Bayou Benedict and the All American breakfast.

Enjoyed the sunrise omelet, and especially appreciated the GF bagel and roasted (not the Lyonnaise -- they are careful about that) potatoes. Nice accommodation.

A great menu with a nice selection of gluten-free items. Server was knowledge about gluten issues.

Excellent selections. Food is great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was nothing special for the price. My omelette was tasty but dry and under seasoned. It cost extra to substitute fruit for potatoes. My bill came to $20 for an omelette with fruit and a coffee. The menu specifies which dishes can be altered and made GF but it doesn't tell you how. I was expecting potatoes and GF toast and just got fruit. The fruit was very good, though! I just wish the menu, or my server, had specified GF meant no potatoes or toast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of options!!! Yummy
