While the space offers a stylish vibe and a friendly, family-like atmosphere, those seeking gluten-free options should be cautious. Despite an initially promising menu featuring items like salmon and gluten-free bread, concerns about cross-contamination and inconsistent food safety practices may impact the experience for gluten-sensitive guests.

We were seated at a dirty table. Restaurant cleanliness, wait staff service and food safety are substandard as usual. It's like a Denny's standard to be this bad nation wide.There are no gluten free options because everything is cross contaminated. My mouth is swollen and I'm hacking up phlegm. Asked for decaf and it smelled sour. We asked for separate checks, didn't get it. Asked for crispy hashbrowns, didn't get it. Every trip to Dennys reminds me why I don't eat here and neither should you.

Really great service. I was seated immediately. Even let me change to a window booth. The menu had a lot of options considering I’m gluten and lactose intolerant! I ordered the vegetation scramble and was not disappointed. Very flavorful meal. It was so big I could only eat a 3rd. lol. The rest I took to go.
