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.
