This place is not Gluten Free. They label everything (including the bread) "Gluten-Friendly". There is zero accountability for your safety. Worse than this, there is a "Gluten-Friendly" Omelette with "crab meat" listed. When I asked if it was actual crab meat I was told from the kitchen that it's a generic branded imitation (wheat containing) crab meat on the "gluten-friednly" menu! Their bread is labeled "Gluten-Friendly" and is "cooked in the same machine as regular bread" as our server was told by the kitchen staff, so all bread is CC. If you have any allergy or are Celiac like me, please avoid this place for your own safety. Their menu is misleading and you will not feel comfortable here with any level of cross contamination.

Full disclosure, I still ordered here due to lack of options in the area as were passing through. I had the Skinny Omelette to hedge my bets for CC. The omelette was overcooked and overall Nothing special, nor worth the risk.

Awesome experience they were knowledgeable on ingredients, very friendly and patient. The food was delicious I had blueberry lemon goat cheese ricotta pancakes that are regular pancakes but they switched it for me when I asked. For some reason they do not have corn tortillas. they also have kids gluten-free options. Overall delicious and wonderful experience.

I had the gluten free pancakes with eggs and chicken maple sausage. It was all great and I had no reaction. They bring a separate gf menu upon request. It’s a lot of food too!

They are quick to point out that cross contamination may exist so the GF menu is Gluten Friendly and not GFree. The gluten friendly menu is extensive with GF pancakes, omelettes and more. The pancakes are delicious but not on a dedicated griddle.

Review


They claim they take allergens seriously. I ordered from the GF menu, expressed I have celiac at the time of ordering. The food was brought out stacked amongst the other plates with the GF plate undet others and their "gluten free" marker being a stick in the pancakes. Food pieces from non-GF food had fallen across the GF plate making the food inedible for me. They brought out the food order incomplete leaving my 3 year old the only one without food for about 5 minutes or more past everyone else. When I gave him mine so he could eat, the server argued with me with an attitude uneccessarily telling me how the kid's pancakes are smaller than the adult and, presumably, expecting me to leave my confused and hungry child without food while everyone else got to eat. When they brought his food out, there were black specks all over the pancakes, clearly some kind of burnt food that wasn't the pancakes themselves as they were baked into it. They clearly do not actually take the allergy precautions seriously like they claim.
