It’s not bad. I DoorDashed and got the Farmhouse Hash and the GF toast, which they did have. Did not have a problem with it.

No one with true celiac or gluten allergy should eat here. They are not aware and do not prepare food to avoid contamination. Salad came with croutons even though we told our server.

Delicious.... but I would have preferred GF bread that didn't upset my tummy.

I like FW but now that I'm GF I found it lacking in choices. The featured breakfast was fig prosciutto toast and eggs. But they did NOT have GF bread option and the waitress had a lame excuse why they don't have ANY GF bread on site. I ordered it anyway and it was delicious BUT I shouldn't have to risk my health to enjoy a tasty breakfast. Sadly we won't be returning to what has been a favorite restaurant.

I'm incredibly disappointed in their gluten fee menu, which is really an allergy ingredient menu. Allergen identification menus are useful, however they mark their omelets as containing wheat, because it comes with an English muffin. Stupid!  Also they note that no bread products, waffles, or pancakes can be made gluten free.  That is understandable, yet very disappointing no gluten free bread option offered. Maybe contamination risk is too high. How do other places manage? Servers are very nice and accommodating, but very disappointed in menu!

They no longer have a gluten free menu due to legal reasons (or so they say). They assured me they could still make me something correctly, but I was having symptoms before I left. After I had ordered, I pretty much knew it would go poorly when she only reassured me that they would change their gloves. I tried to insist that the whole food prep area would have to be cleaned or be separate. Clearly that didn't make a difference.

Probably a lot of cross contact here, but they do have gluten free bread so I was able to get a breakfast sandwich and home fries. The food was flavorful, the staff were efficient and the prices were fair.

We had a lovely lunch this afternoon. Deborah was absolutely wonderful and extremely accommodating to my various allergies. She went above and beyond to make sure my food was safe. They have good procedures against cross contamination. It was also delicious and very affordable.

I usually get the chicken quinoa power bowl here. I have not gotten sick and I always tell the server that I have a gluten allergy. I have heard that they do use shared equipment when toasting the gluten free bread so if you’re sensitive I’d stick with the bowls.
