Top 9 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Auburn

Ariana Fulda

This isn’t entirely The Hound’s fault but, I informed the waiter that I have a gluten intolerance and I ordered a burger on gluten free bread with tater tots. She didn’t inform me that the tater tots weren’t gluten free, I was sick for the next two days because of this. They were good but, I feel like she should’ve let me know that.

I never write reviews but I felt the need to share my experience. It’s so hard finding gluten free restaurants and broken egg is my go to spot for gluten free pancakes. I recommend this place to everyone but after today this is my last time eating here. I’ve been gluten free for years now due to my severe gluten allergy. The service I received today was absolutely horrendous. I was with my family we all sat together. My mom ordered a pineapple mock tail drink. Her throat and lips were irritated after drinking it. That happens sometimes with pineapple it’s a weird fruit. She told the waiter, he got the female manager and the manager was EXTREMELY passive aggressive the moment she walked to our table. My mom shared that she was having a slight reaction to the drink. It was delicious but she was afraid to keep drinking. The manager asked if we should call 911 in a sarcastic tone. My mom said no she would like to have the drink without the pineapple juice. My mom was very polite. The manager says well the drink you ordered doesn’t have pineapple juice. My mom was confused and I interjected… it DOES have pineapple juice that’s the first ingredient. The manager was gaslighting us until I requested the drink menu back and it had pineapple juice. The manager said whoops my bad. Lots of attitude and sarcasm from the waiter. After that situation, 10-15 mins later the food comes out I ordered three gluten free pancakes and I received only two. The waiter comes out walks over and addresses me directly.. he says hey do you want the third pancake and I said yes (of course I want the three gf pancakes I ordered??)… long story short what I received was NOT gluten free pancakes. I had the same reaction I always have when I’ve come into contact with gluten accidentally. Swelling. Almost like edema/inflammation it takes days sometimes weeks for it to go away. The same manager comes I told her what’s happening. She said oh no should I call the ambulance (SARCASTICALLY) I said I would call the ambulance myself I’m not having an anaphylactic reaction. I promise I would not be standing here talking to you if I was dying. But I always get gluten free pancakes this is not gluten free. The texture everything. Four bites in and I KNEW these were not gluten free. I didn’t care to know how or why but it was not gluten free and I was reacting. My parents confirmed they tasted exactly like their pancakes. She claims it is gluten free. Nevertheless, I told her I’m reacting. Not here to debate with you on if the pancakes are gluten free or not I’m actively swelling this never happens here and I just want a refund. I gave her my plate of pancakes back. She argues with me about what symptoms look like for her celiac best friend. All I wanted in that moment was a refund not a passive aggressive, insinuating I’m lying for no reason, nasty attitude. Never eating here again. That manager is bad news. Never had an experience like this before at broken egg.

My daughter has been raving about Amsterdam since she’s been living down here for almost 10 years now. Every time I call on a Sunday I ask her how her weekend was and usually has to deal with a meal at Amsterdam. Now I could understand why. for a birthday celebration we came here for dinner, and it was not what I thought it was. I thought it was going to be a stuffy uptight restaurant, and it was a complete opposite. Essentially located in a semi residential area on the edge of campus. Upon walking in you’re in the older section of the restaurant, where we were seated. In back is a very nice dining area and also have an outdoor eating area. , where we were seated. In back is a very nice dining area and also have a outdoor eating area. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled brussels sprouts and the calamari. The calamari was very good, with a Red sauce that was almost like a sweet-and-sour red sauce. Not your traditional marinara red sauce. It was very good and very tasty. The grilled brussels sprouts were delicious. Brussels sprouts were bedded over a Gorgonzola cheese, I think. I’m not a big cheese person, therefore, I try to avoid the cheese on it, but the brussels sprouts were still very good. As an entrée, I had the shrimp and grits, which was delicious and also had some of my daughter’s chicken mac & cheese. Which was very good. The mac & cheese had collard greens in it. Watch was exceptional. The flavoring was spot on. Another entrée was the salmon with mashed potatoes, which is a gluten-free. The person who had that and truly enjoyed it, and said the same was cooked perfectly. We talked about dessert, but we didn’t see anything that was too interesting, therefore we decided not to get any. Highly suggest reservations on weekends especially on game days and parent evolved weekends. Found parking literally right in front so it was not an issue, but it can’t be an issue I think. There is a lot behind Amsterdam, but it is unknown if you could park there or not no is it posted if you can or not, but there’s a lot of towing signs. If you’re In Auburn and want a Auburn traditional restaurant, highly suggest Amsterdam
