What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pancakes
- Gluten-free crepes
- Gluten-free waffles
- Omelettes (with gluten-free ingredients)
- Eggs
- Bacon
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible, particularly when the kitchen is busy.
- Practices described in the collected experiences include color-coded plates, separate grills or surfaces for gluten-free items, and staff education; however, there are also reports of miscommunication and unsafe handling on occasion.
- Some diners have reported illness after eating gluten-free items, which underscores the importance of asking detailed questions about current procedures (grill cleanliness, utensil use, and whether a dedicated area is in use during your meal).
