I was surprised and happy to find the gluten-free items were marked on the Denny’s menu. Sometimes the only place to stop on a road trip and definitely a family friendly place for kids, I know I have somewhere else I can go that has gluten-free options. All the omelettes the nachos, which are very good and the steaksand other miscellaneous items, including hashbrowns we’re all gluten-free. I’ve eaten there a few times now I’m not had a problem and I am celiac.
Went here after church because online info indicated they did have gf menu items. Sure enough, lots of gf options marked - mostly egg, omelet and scrambles but still a fair but to choose from. I got their veggie omelet no toast and they’re fruit salad. The omelet was on point, very tasty with nicely cooked veggies. Fruit salad was strawberries, grapes and banana (so glad it wasn’t that awful melon blend most places do!). I had no ill effects so it seemed safe as I’m pretty sensitive. Coffee was decent. They were busy and seriously understaffed so we might not go back, but it’s good to know it’s an option.
There wasn't a whole lot to choose from, but the gluten free items are marked on the menu. I ordered the "build your own slam" and got eggs, bacon, hash browns, and fruit. I told the waitress that I had a gluten intolerance, and even on a busy Saturday morning the kitchen did a great accommodating for me. I didn't have a reaction, and would recommend this location.
This was the only place open so i went here. On the menu there were some items written as GF, i ask the waiter and he doesn't know what GF means and says to follow the menu. I order a salmon ( one of the few options) and it comes with rice and broccoli. The waiter comes after half an hour to say the salmon will come only with broccoli because RICE HAS GLUTEN.
All the gluten free items are clearly marked on the menu, and there a decent number of them. I had a choose your own omelette with a side of hash browns and it was good! I told the waitress I couldn't have gluten and she promised they would make my food in a fresh pan, change their gloves, etc. Also she was super nice and helpful. I assumed I'd never be able to eat a Denny's again after my Celiac diagnosis so this was a very pleasant surprise!
Got the grilled chicken Cobb salad. It was great, tasty and filling. No reaction. Waitress seemed comfortable enough with what was gluten free and what wasn’t. When I called the person who answered didn’t know the answer to my questions so I did have to ask to talk to a manager or someone who could help me. She did and I felt comfortable with the next person I talked to enough to give it a try.
Recommended by our motel's proprietor, described as the #1 Denny's in the country. I had an omelette and hash browns. Explained my GF-ness. They cheerfully re-made the omelette because they made it wrong (nothing to do with gluten). Server was exceptional. One of our good, basic meals on our cross-country road trip. No issues.
Ate here on my own while scouting GF places for my kids with celiac. The staff are helpful and the food was what you would expect from Denny's. They do offer a GF English muffin. However, when I asked if they have a dedicated toaster, they told me that they do not. I would not recommend this for those with celiac disease.
They use to have gluten free english muffins so when i went i asked if they still had them the waitress was super nice said yes and put in the order the order said “gf” english muffin after eating half i realized the bottom tasted too much like regular bread. So i asked the waitress that if she could double check bcuz i was certain it was wheat. She come back out devastated having to tell me the cook has a “language barrier” and said that they were all out so she switched to a regular one. Not safe for gf at all. Do not recommend for gf or anyone with allergies.
Went here for breakfast. Waitress tried to be helpful but was not very well informed about celiac. When asked about cross contamination, she said she would make sure they cleaned the grill and used no butter for the hash browns - which made no sense. Hash browns were undercooked and omelette was skimpy on ingredients.
I previously had very good experiences here however this week found out they have stopped carrying any kind of gluten-free bread or English muffin. There's not much on the menu listed gluten-free but I ordered a steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It came with bread sitting on top of everything even though I had stipulated gluten-free. I'm very disappointed that they have discontinued the gluten-free English muffin as it worked well for breakfast or as a hamburger bun. Unfortunately they're just are not a lot of choices in Deming so if you have to eat somewhere you could probably find something at Denny's but be very careful.
While the menu shows what is made gluten free, nothing is gluten free. They use the fryer oil to grease the grill and do not have a GF option. We asked if they could wash a spot on the grill and they said no. They were not able to accommodate us at all so the only thing she could possibly eat was a smoothie.
Do not visit this Dennys location with Celiac under any circumstance!! They have gluten free English muffins, but it doesn’t seem like the cooks understand what the difference is between a gluten and gluten free muffin. They gave me a gluten muffin on my takeaway order and I didn’t find out until I got home. The grill and fryer are also not dedicated gluten-free despite the fries being labeled as gluten-free.
Denny’s has gluten free options, but the servers do not seem to understand anything about out how stuff is prepped at this one, but the server brought the chef out to talk to me about how things are prepared. He sad each thing like eggs, bacon and sausage, and hash browns all have their own station. The gluten free English muffins are done in the same toaster though and he offered to clean it out but I told him not to worry about it.
He cleaned all the surfaces just in case something happened and he was happy to do it. Even came out to check on me and see how things were and make sure I knew he cleaned everything before even though those surfaces shouldn’t have had anything with gluten made on them.
I waited for 18 hours before doing this review to make sure I didn’t get sick and I have not. I usually get very sick very fast even from cross contamination.
Food was delicious. I got 2 linked sausages, 2 eggs over easy and hash browns
Let’s face it. We don’t go to Denny’s for the cuisine. Yet they are always my travel back up plan. I’ve never ever gotten sick from their naturally GF eggs, breakfast meat, hash browns or fruit. Always tell my server my allergy and apologize about needing extra care taken that my food is on a freshly cleaned section of the grill. Reliable food when on a road trip.
I ordered gluten free omelette, hash brown and GF English muffin. The server seemed to understand. Service was slow and 45 mins later my breakfast came with toast on top. I tried to explain I wouldn’t be able to eat it. And the server wasn’t very friendly and said they run out of GF muffins and didn’t seem to underdtand that I couldn’t eat the breakfast after the toast had been put on top. I sent it back to the kitchen and went to spk to a manager who said they take allergies very seriously as she has certain allergies herself. I knew the server would just remove the toast and give me the same breakfast. Which she did!!!! The manager had a new omelette made for me. However the place was grubby and didn’t fill me with confidence. I didn’t get charged for my omelette, but I didn’t feel that was any consolation. The server apologised and said she was very busy!
Excellent, knowledgeable and friendly service from Sierra F, who made recommendations about the salmon and prime rib salads we ordered. She was very well informed about celiac disease dietary requirements. She even checked on the potato strip garnish, since the vendor changed, and noted the possibility of contamination.
I like to stop here when traveling between Colorado and New Mexico. There are not many restaurants in Raton. Even though Dennys menu has GF items marked, you have to be very careful of cross contamination especially at this location. The wavy fries are marked GF. I asked the waitress if they have a dedicated fryer and she said, "no, but they're still GF!". I then educated her on cross contamination. She said, "oh, I didn't realize gluten could do that." I ended up ordering a salad with no potatoe sticks. I feel fine.
This was one of my first visits to a restaurant after being diagnosed with Celiac disease. The menu was very clear on what was gluten free and seemed to have a lot of options. I got eggs, sausage links, and hash browns. Everything was good except the hash browns were burnt. Other than that everything was good and nothing seemed to bother my Celiac. I was a little bummed that they didn’t have gluten free pancakes though.
I was pleasantly surprised with how well Denny’s marked their GF options on their menu. I had a grilled chicken breast “burger” made on a gf English muffin and their wavy fries and did not have any reactions or GI distress. I was also surprised at how juicy the chicken was.
