What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread (from a dedicated gluten-free bakery source)
- Gluten-free buns for sandwiches
- Gluten-free toast
- Gluten-free cornbread
- Gluten-free omelette (labeled as GF)
- Gluten-free sandwich bread
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant does not advertise a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact is a theoretical risk in a shared kitchen.
- Some accounts mention protective measures (gloves changed when serving, staff awareness, and menu GF markings) and at least one report of a dedicated gluten-free fryer, which reduces risk but isn’t universal across all reports.
- A few reviews note variability in the texture or quality of GF items (e.g., GF buns not always meeting expectations), so individual experiences may vary.
- For highly sensitive celiacs, it’s wise to communicate clearly about your needs, verify current kitchen practices, and confirm that your specific dish is prepared with GF ingredients and methods.
