Gluten-Free at Denny's

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.

If you’re gluten free keep driving.

The GF english muffin that I’ve had at other Dennys and is advertised all over the menu isn’t carried here. There are still other basic options but a lot involve substituting a GF english muffin.

The place feels dirty as well

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.

My daughter - celiac - had eggs, sausage, and their gluten free muffin - and left with a terrible tummy ache. They were unaware of precautions to take to avoid cross contamination. They have GF items - but it’s not safe for those with celiac.

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.

Went on a tour of Union Station and this is the only restaurant in the area which was open that had gluten free food. The waitress had little idea of what I was talking about but gave the information os my allergy to the cooking staff. I always have an omelet and hash browns at Denny's as it is naturally gluten free. They have gluten free English muffins but are cross contaminated during the toasting so not safe for me.

I ordered a hamburger with gluten-free muffin. The guy at the entrance said this was possible and told the waitress and I told her as well. First I got a burger with regular bun instead of gluten-free muffin. Then they told us they would remake the order, but after waiting an hour they told us they were too busy with other orders to make ours, so they cancelled our order and we left hungry. Also no refills we offered on the drinks.

There are many gluten free options listed on the menu but if you have celiac you can’t eat much. I had ordered a burger then 5 minutes later my server came out and let me know that I can’t get it because the grill would take too long to clean. I ended up just going for scrambled eggs & bacon but was informed I can’t have the bacon either because it’s also made on the grill.

Everything is marked GF on menu and there are a lot of options, but the server wasn't aware of GF status on items when asked and didn't have any knowledge of cross-contamination - I saw her use the same towel for the GF English Muffin as the toast.

In general food safety, I saw a lot of servers using bare hands to test the temperature of the food before they took plates to the table.

The staff wasn’t very knowledgeable about CD, but it turned out okay in the end anyway. They have an allergen QR code on the back of the menu which is extremely helpful and detailed. I chose to play it safe with what I ordered and just got scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and fruit. Let me tell you, it was surprisingly good. Eggs were fantastic, hashbrowns were pretty good but not the best, bacon was mid, and the fruit was as you’d expect. Best part of it was the price - I was out with some friends (8 of us in total) and the bill came down to ~$80. Perfect? No, but I didn’t get sick, which I’ll count as a win. Not sure about how they cook their hashbrowns.. they did have other items that likely used a shared fryer but honestly I was craving hashbrowns and hoped they didn’t fry them. **Note: I am occasionally symptomatic, but not always. I made sure to tell the server to write down that I had a “severe gluten allergy” and to change their gloves.

Popped in here with my dad on our way out of town and had a pleasant experience. I am celiac and asked if they could make my breakfast on a separate surface and they said yes. The cook came out and delivered my item personally and ensured me it was gluten free. They also have gluten free English muffins but I’m not sure if it’s toasted in the same toaster and I didn’t order it. Didn’t get sick though, would eat here again.

Ask about items marked GF, the nachos usually are but here they use flour tortillas fried in the same fries as everything else. I decided to get eggs and hashbrowns, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if I don't get glutened from them. I gave the waitress the schpeal, and she understood what I was saying. Be careful ordering cooked things from here. The dessert should be okay, but I didn't order it.
