Great place! Our waitress, Claudia was really nice and friendly. They have a great Gluten Free menu. The GF meal came out with an allergy sticker... Which is so reassuring for those who have allergies. We've never seen this at any other restaurant before. If you have Celiac, this is a great option!

I ordered breakfast from here twice while in town for a wedding, and it was a lifesaver. Both dishes (pancakes, the brown sugar latte, and the traditional breakfast) were excellent, and I didn’t get sick (I’m very sensitive celiac). The delivery order was clearly marked with a GF sticker. Definitely recommend if you need a breakfast place in town!

This place was so great! They had a a separate gluten free menu! I had the GF Chicken and Avocado sandwich and they had a GF toaster for the bread. I can’t wait to come back!

Chiming in to support their Celiac safe cred. I eat here regularly and have never gotten sick. Better option than Egglectic. At breakfast joints I stick to egg dishes to stay safe; here the San Antonio skillet is so darned good I can’t bring myself to order anything else anyway. Great coffee and iced tea.

Wow, I am surprised at the harsh reviews prior to mine. I have to say I was very impressed with the GF menu and the variety of dishes I had to choose from! The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable of Celiac and assured me I would be safe eating here. The sweet potato skillet I ate was amazing and there were so many other delicious sounding choices that I cannot wait to go back. I am relatively new to my Celiac diagnosis and it’s so nice to find places that don’t just have a couple options but a full, equally delicious menu!

This is my first three star review. Why? Because this place is like the middle child. You always forget about them because the other ones are better.

I usually don't write reviews, I hope this will be helpful.

My family is Gluten Free, my wife is Celiac. We got there early at 7am, not busy. For last day of school celebration as a family. We asked for gluten free menus, told the server we were all gluten free. My wife and daughter ordered 1st followed by me. As coincidence my wife and I ordered the same thing. Upon my order said GF meal name and wife said your getting the same thing, I agreed.

Upon arrival my wife and daughters order were correct and mine was wrong. They gave me a random gluten meal, which I promptly sent back. 10 minutes later they came back with the right meal but missing a side. Since we had to be at the sitter at 8 had no time to wait another 10 minutes for a side.

Upon checkout, the cashier asked of everything was OK and I said no. There was no Interest in remedies for my unhappiness. Only in a hurry to get me out. I am glad it was me who got sick and not my wife. She can be wiped out for days. I had to hurry to the bathroom.

To get sick at a not busy place, Celiac BEWARE! Go somewhere better like Butterfields.

They say they are gluten sensitive only. They cook the gluten free pancakes right on top of where they cook gluten pancakes. I've asked them to clean the grill for me and I'm not getting sick. Food tastes good.

My daughter (who has celiac) got glutened here - after ordering and verifying that her order was the gluten free pancakes. I called the restaurant after she got so sick and the manager told me that her plate should have been a different color, indicating that it was a gluten free meal, which all the wait staff should have known. Sadly, we don't feel like it is safe for her to eat here.
