Love that they have GF marked but also pretty much every sandwich, burger can be made to be gluten free! Just speak to a knowledgeable staff member

Excellent roasted vegetable salad for dinner and they have GF bread for breakfast toast. Offer great patio dining at night and fun diner atmosphere inside. Items on menu clearly GF noted but no dedicated fryer.

Ate here on Mother's Day while traveling with my CD sons (adults). Both ordered the GF french toast (plain) and were satisfied with their orders. They reported no ill effects from CC during the next week. Given how busy it was for a holiday, Sunday brunch, we were more than pleased with the swift seating and service and care towards our special needs.

Knowledgeable about cross contamination. I got the huevos rancheros without the tortilla and had no issues.

I have eaten at this Silver Diner location dozens of times this year. They have a gluten free bread that can be used to make sandwiches. I usually order the salmon or cod. The majority of the staff know exactly how to deal with handling an allergy, or someone with celiac. Generally I ask them to choose the “Gluten Allergy” button on their tablet, and to alert the chef. Their gluten free brownie Sunday is also excellent. Compared to other Silver Diner locations, this location is by far the best when it comes to knowledge about Celiac.

I ordered the gluten free quinoa coconut pancakes, and they were surprisingly delicious. They had a chocolate brownie with vanilla and chocolate ice cream marked as gluten free, yet their vanilla and chocolate shakes were not listed as gluten free. Both were made with Breyer's ice cream, and those flavors are gluten free. Furthermore, the allergen menu showed that these shakes were gluten free. I had one and did not get sick. Bottom line: the menu and the allergen guide are inconsistent.

I have celiac disease and have eaten here three times. First I got the seasonal shrimp and watermelon salad. Great stuff. The other two times I ate a burger with a gluten free bun. I ate the fries too. I did not get sick but I did not ask if there was a dedicated fryer for the fries so be cautious if you are extremely sensitive. I will definitely be back to try the beyond meat burger and other entrees. This place is always hopping so don't be surprised if the waitstaff is swiftly busting their ass. Lol!!

I didn’t felt safe -staff wasn’t knowledgeable of gluten free diet/items on menu. I was told to look for gf on the menu. Children’s menu gf choices- gf spaghetti and lamb meatballs (no information if they were gf), quinoa pancakes, and grilled cheese sandwich. Adult had very few choices with gf by it. I had to ask if they could make my daughter, 9, a gf cheese hamburger from adult menu - it wasn’t marked as gf item. I was told that a gluten free bun cost extra. Order came cheese wasn’t on the hamburger, my barbecue sauce for Barbque burger was missing - I asked for it to on the side, and daughter’s requested mayonnaise was missing. They never came to offer refills, if we needed anything, or ask if we wanted dessert. I had to flag down the waiter to get my bill. The restaurant was at quick pace but not “bust”.

I got takeout from them in 2020. I ordered an omelette with gf toast. I can't remember if there was a place to specify that it was gf due to allergy, but either I did specify that or there was no way to put it on the online order.

I looked at the dish in the car before I left, and it had a wheat flour biscuit laying on top of the omelette. I took it back in, told them I had ordered gf toast and that having the biscuit sitting on my food meant I couldn't eat it. They said they couldn't give me a refund right away, because I ordered it online, but that they would. I left my food there since I couldn't eat it. I asked to speak to the manager and she would not speak with me.

Within a day, I got a refund for less than a dollar. I called and again asked to speak to the manager, and she still would not speak to me, but the person I spoke to said she would ask about it and call me back. She did, and said the refund was for the upcharge for a gf toast since "that was all that was wrong with the order." I explained why that was untrue, and was told that was all they would refund.

So I called the corporate office. It took a little while to get someone to talk to me, but when they did, I was again told that they would only refund "their error" which was not giving me a gf toast. I again explained about cross contamination, and was told they had not done anything wrong beyond not giving me a gf toast. They would give me a gift card "as a courtesy". I finally did convince them to give me a refund "as a courtesy", but the emphasized that in the future i should not expect a refund for an entire meal with the error being putting a piece of ggluten bread on an order that needed gf due to allergy.
