🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free burger with a gluten-free bun (mentioned as an option for GF dining).
  • Gluten-free pancakes (appearing on some menus and noted by guests as safe).
  • Gluten-free carrot cake muffins (repeatedly referenced as a safe-sounding dessert option by diners).
  • Gluten-free bread for certain dishes (mentioned in guest experiences).
  • Gluten-free items kept in a separate case, which some guests found reassuring about no cross-contact.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists.
  • Home fries and other items have been reported to be fried in configurations that also handle gluten-containing foods.
  • Some guests reported receiving GF accommodations when explicitly communicating needs; others reported missteps or uncertain safety practices.
  • There is no consistently GF-marked menu, which can make it harder to navigate safely without staff guidance.
