What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread/buns for sandwiches (e.g., Dad's BLT on GF bread; Rueben on GF bread).
- Gluten-free brioche toast.
- Gluten-free French toast.
- General note: many dishes can be prepared GF; staff are described as knowledgeable about celiac needs and modifications.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant does not operate a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists in theory.
- Positive signs include grill cleaning prior to GF preparation, possible use of new cookware/utensils, and communication about cross-contamination during ordering.
- There is no dedicated GF fryer; some items may be prepared in alternatives (e.g., pan-cooked fries) upon request.
- Given the volume of recent positive feedback and the stated practices, the remaining risk appears to be actively managed rather than ignored, but not eliminated.
