Gluten-Free at Ruby Slipper Cafe

My son had GF French Toast and I had the Cochon Eggs with GF toast. We both had grits on the side. Very tasty and no reactions. We both have celiac. Would eat there again

My waiter was great. Able to help me identify what was gluten free on the menu. There is nothing marked as gluten free. Omelettes are usually a safe bet at places like this. Just let them know of a gluten allergy and they can mark it in their system which will take out things with gluten in it.

Decent breakfast/brunch place. Separate GF menu with more than typical options, waiter checked in with manager. Meal came out with a little flag toothpick. I ordered French toast, which was good.

The menu is not labeled and they have GF bread and can make French toast, eggs Benedict. They were very mindful of my GF need and prepared everything special to minimize cross contamination. They did not toast my bread or cook my food on the spared grill. I got an omelette, chicken sausage, fruit, and toast. It was good.

I experienced cross contamination with this restaurant even after being reassured they take it very seriously. They used regular bread on my sandwich even though I specifically said gluten free because having celiac. I don’t think the waitress understood. Definitely don’t recommend.

They offer a number of gluten friendly options but almost everything is cooked on a shared grill and I was there's always a possibility of cross contamination. The first server didn't have a good understanding of what could be gf so she called over another server.

The safest options were either the Cobb Salad or one of the omelets with a side of double fruit. They did communicate my gluten intolerance to the kitchen.

The gf allergen menu is available online.

They have a gluten free menu, but aren’t celiac friendly. French toast is made with gluten free bread, but dipped in same mix as regular French toast and cooked on same surface. Egg sandwich is cooked on same surface. I was only able to eat fruit cup.

My husband has celiac and told the waiter specifically he cannot have gluten and what safety measures were needed in the kitchen to make his food safe. The waiter ensured it would be taken seriously. Of course places aren't perfect but for my husband to have a severe reaction like this, they would have had to not have taken any precautions. Poor man was sick the rest of the day. As for the order, it was a BYO Omelette. He swapped the standard grits and biscuit for just fruit.

I was so excited to eat here but left disappointed. Based on the reviews, I knew I had to join the wait list & it was a 1 1/2 hour wait. They do not have a gf menu in person but they do online. I was really excited to try the French toast because I feel like I find pancakes more than French toast but it wasn’t worth it. It just looked like normal, toasted gf bread. We did try the piggy bites to start with and they were good but it was just slices of bacon cut in half and sprinkled with brown sugar. At least we ate safely and didn’t get sick.

I wasn’t that impressed. No gf toaster. Even though I mention gluten allergy multiple times during my order, my plate can put with a fried tomato. Food was very salty and I didn’t feel very confident in precautions.

Initially my server was really knowledgeable and I felt comfortable. The menu is marked. They even noted cross contact and what would be safer. The kitchen brought out my meal (migas) and after eating a couple bites I realized the tortilla strips were probably fired there…sure enough the migas wasn’t supposed to come with the tortilla strips. I’m pretty sick from it. The place was running like a clown show, which was fun and entertaining but maybe just go for a cocktail and skip the food.

The service was good but the mimosa flight was very watered down. I had the gluten free french toast it was very bland and I ended up having a bad reaction most of the day. I am not sure there were any measures to prevent cross-contamination.

Server said that anything on the menu can be gluten free, since they’ll just give me gf bread instead of regular bread. Already alarm bells going off. “GF” bread is toasted with everything else, and no cross contamination procedures. Out of the meal I ordered, I only ate my omelette. It was alright, but I was definitely still hungry leaving. Not worth the risk if you have celiac.

The only thing that was gluten free with no cross contamination were scrambled eggs, a side salad, or a piece of bread that couldn’t be toasted. I got scrambled eggs and tested them with my Nima Sensor. It said they contained gluten. I left hungry.

The unbelievable happened here. I told my server I had celiacs and to leave the biscuits off the omelette plate. The food runner brought it out with biscuits on it and I said “Oh no I’m sorry but I can’t eat that now I have celiacs. I will get very ill if I eat that go ahead and take it back”. The food runner took it back and came right back within 30 seconds! And said, “crazy enough, the kitchen had an extra shrimp omelette and the table it was for doesn’t need it.” She set it down and I looked at the plate and could clearly see the bread crumbs from biscuits. They didn’t even try to switch the plates to hide it! Thank goodness I caught it! HORRIBLE. I said “these are bread crumbs… I’m not eating this, take it back” after touching the bread crumbs with my fingers to confirm. I was so upset that she had just tried to lie to someone who could be severely hurt from such a contamination. My server touched base and I told her everything, she apologized as her parents have celiacs and she said she completely understood. The manager came out and apologized and said they’d bring out a hot fresh one that would be safe. He assured me it wouldn’t be contaminated. Surprisingly I trusted him and it looked okay but it was so disturbing that she did that. I asked for her name but never ended up getting it from anyone. Somehow that got dodged. Huge liability at this place. Beware if you have an allergy.

*symptomatic celiac* The staff was so awesome and my waitress Renee actually had celiac as well and had many recommendations and explained that I will be safe. I had the GF French toast and it was so amazing and delicious I ate the entire giant plate of it. I have been feeling good ever since! 10/10 recommend.

Disappointed that their ‘gluten-free’ menu doesn’t actually cater to people with a gluten allergy. Tried to order the French toast but they couldn’t cook it separate. Don’t have a separate fryer. Also, was asked the most annoying question for someone with an allergy ‘how allergic are you?’ Eventually ended up with an omelet and they said they were able to toast the bread separate. It’s always exciting to see a gluten free menu but so disappointing when places can’t cater for allergies.

Best for Breakfast/Brunch. A few “lunch” items. Please review the allergy menu online for GF options. There are a lot of options. Had The Eggs Blackstone - Applewood-smoked bacon & grilled tomato served over gluten-free toast or grilled tomato, topped with two poached eggs, finished with hollandaise. Enjoyed it. The establishment was busy around lunch time and I would assume they would be very busy during breakfast.

There is indoor and outdoor dining.

Brunch on a Wednesday morning was slow but good. No separate GF menu and not noted on menu, but server was able to talk through menu. Ordered omelet with no biscuit. It was delivered to table with toast on the plate that the server said was GF and toasted in separate place. Omelet was delicious. I didn’t try the toast so cannot comment on flavor.

Had a gluten free menu with a lot of options, including GF french toast. This was a breakfast/lunch restaurant and the quality of the food was great and portions were more than adequate. I had a smoked salmon omelet with goat cheese/herbs and capers - it came with gf and potatoes. There was a ton of smoked salmon and the flavors were wonderful. I don't know the safety - I'm gluten intolerant and not celiac, but I presume with a gf menu, they are using some precautions...

Delicious and safe!

I sat at the bar and asked whether they could do GF. Server knew that they couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be cross-contamination on any bread items, but eggs/meat/fruit would be safe. I got a salmon omelette with crème fraiche and capers, side of potatoes and fruit. Amazing!

Spiced vanilla latte also worth trying (lots of nutmeg).

A day later and I'm feeling great. Long lines likely, so call ahead or plan to wait outside a while for groups of more than 2 people.

Horrible experience. The server was extremely knowledgeable. The cooks were not and did not care. The server noticed a normal biscuit on my plate and explained that I had celiac and that it needed to be remade. He said well I’m not. He proceeded to yell and scream at her. It’s not a safe place to eat for people with allergies.

I can’t brag on this brunch spot enough! The fact that they have a gluten free menu is amazing! My husband is the Celiac in our family, but I eat gluten free with him. We both ordered off the GF menu. He ordered the Migas (tex-mex bowl) and I got the French Toast. Those were the two he was torn between and that way he could try both! They were both great and our waitress was very knowledgeable along with the rest of the staff. Would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for your brunch!

NO GLUTEN FREE MENU. They use a shared toaster for udi’s bread & a shared fryer for potatoes. Server was knowledgeable of what dishes could be made gluten free. Ordered an omelette with no biscuit and still received the biscuit. Food was mediocre. Not worth the wait or risk of contamination.
