This diner is a godsend for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about safe preparation and the food is solid. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for an old time charming diner this is the place to go, no bells and whistles…just outstanding service & super delicious food. We have food sensitivities and Cora (our server) was very attentive to our dietary needs. The other servers were friendly as well. The menu was easy to read( not overwhelming), gluten free options are available and these items were highlighted on the menu. We will definitely be back soon!

Amazing breakfast this morning. The owner’s daughter has celiac so very aware of cross contamination. My daughter with celiac had pancakes with strawberries. This was her first time eating breakfast at a restaurant since she was diagnosed with celiac. They can make anything on the menu gluten free. The only thing that is not gluten free is the scrapple and tater tots. Very good, we will be back.

Melanin Essence

It’s very difficult to find restaurants with gluten-free items. It’s much appreciative that they have gluten-free waffles and pancakes on the food was good.

Lauren Gedeon

Great place for a quick brunch! Many gluten free options, and the food is not greasy at all.

Love Asbury Kitchen! Breakfast is my fav meal of the day, and OC def has a lot to offer when it comes to breakfast/brunch! My boyfriend has celiacs (gluten free allergy) and this is our go to! Equipped with a separate fully Gluten Free menu, gluten free desserts, and accommodating staff. There were so many options we’ve never seen at other places (gluten free eggs benedict— pictured) and so much more that we need to go back and try— gluten free almond pound cake- yes please! I got a regular Jersey Eggs Benedict which was absolutely delicious and he got the same made gluten free and we shared a stack of gluten free pancakes with fresh strawberry and crispy bacon. Everything was made to perfection!!! Cozy and clean atmosphere, friendly staff and lots of options! Highly recommend for breakfast/brunch and especially for any friends with allergies!

I remember back when they were half the size and it is clear why they had to double! The food is excellent and they even have a gluten free/vegan menu!

Brigantine is such a cute town to get away from when staying in AC. I love coming here because they have a wide range of things to eat for breakfast to dinner, and they’re accommodating to gluten free diners. They also allowed my pup outside and brought her chicken breast that I ordered in a doggy bowl. It definitely feels like a homey locals spot and I always look forward to visiting!

I was able to get safely made gluten free pancakes!

Jason Krebs

The gluten free pancakes were a welcomed treat. The fresh blueberry syrup was a terrific surprise.

Eric Aubrey

Food was good…service was great! Gianna was a rockstar! Will definitely be back. Plus for the solid gluten free options.

Dustin Horning

Fantastic place to eat. As long as you get in before 9, we haven’t had to wait. Food was great. Prices were right and they took my wife celiac (cannot eat gluten) seriously! For sure service we appreciate at the beach.

Nikolaos Goutzouris

I love this place! Being able to eat out is so troubling and difficult! Especially if you have Celiacs Disease. Never had a problem here eating! So many options that are gluten free or can be made gluten free! There are like 3 things that cannot be made gluten free and have their own dedicated oven they go in! There are no grills or deep fryers! Everything cooked is on hot plates away from everything else! Wonderful place!

Delicious food and great service. Tip for dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan folks: you have options! Get the gluten-free pancakes or gluten-free waffles. Those are made with almond milk, hence dairy free, and end up being vegan as well. You can get any of their specialty pancakes or waffles with the gluten-free recipe. Just make sure the toppings (like whipped cream) are removed if you're dairy-free or vegan. You can also get the almond milk latte if you're looking for a milky coffee option.

Geraldine Zweigle

Was excellent 👌 They had gluten. Free bread so I was able to enjoy my breakfast 😋 🤗

Amy Bolliger

We had a spectacular breakfast! Friendly service and plenty of parking. Extensive gluten free menu. Super kid friendly and also have fun merchandise for sale.

Jennifer B

Would have liked to endulge in there pancakes but although they offer gluten free pancakes they don't have a vegan option. Everyone else in our party loved the food and from what I saw the pancakes did look fresh and very tasty. Everyone was happy with the food here. Cute spot to visit in ocean city .

Regina Stripe

Gluten-Free Menu Vegan Menu We had banana nut French toast. It was SOOOOooo delicious!!!

Lior Seidel

Great GF pancakes; the staff is knowledgeable about cross-contamination.

Ursula V

Lovely place, from the atmosphere to the people - and the food. On road trip and stopped for breakfast. Sat outside with our pup and really enjoyed the grilled veggie bowl, huevos rancheros and buckwheat pancakes (great gluten free option), OJ very fresh - and nice strong coffee. Highly recommend.

Rachel V

The gluten free pancakes are great and they’re super good about cross contamination.

A tale of two pancakes This was a takeout order The buckwheat pancakes were the best I've ever had, however the gluten-free pancakes were the worst I've ever had. Many places mess up buckwheat pancakes. However, this place knew exactly how to make them and they came out really good. Moist and full of flavor. The gluten-free pancakes were another story. They were dry. Had no flavor and were very hard and too dense, matching the gluten-free waffle we ordered. Unfortunately, the texture and moisture content of the gluten-free items made us throw them out after a few bites. They should try adding oatmeal or oat flour to their mix to alter the whole profile of those items. The omelet I got was cooked perfectly and the home fries were really good. Just wish I had asked for ketchup and hot sauce. Unfortunately they were not given to me which is my fault. I should have asked for them, but most places do automatically give you ketchup at least with an omelette, Plus we had ordered a side of fries also that we should have asked for ketchup for. I appreciate that this place has real maple syrup that they offer for a surcharge, which I'm fine with because it comes in a nice little glass jar that I could reuse.

Andrew Kaffes

Excellent, fast service. Pleasantly surprised with the large gluten free french toast portion. Blueberry pancakes were really good. Nice atmosphere as I think it was redone since we were there last prior to the pandemic. Recommend.

Original Pancake House is my go-to for gluten-free pancakes. They are fluffy and delicious, which is quite a feat since most gluten-free pancakes taste eggy or cardboard-y. My personal favorite is their chocolate chip pancakes. I also highly recommend the Santa Fe Omelette; it's the highlight of my Sunday brunch routine! The only downside is that they don't offer delivery.

Pamela Peckman

Went early to avoid the beach Sunday breakfast rush. Service was fast and the food was good. They also had gluten free pancakes which my daughter loved.

Excellent food, smiling servers, good variety for gluten free individuals.

Was reasonably happy with Stuey’s though the pricing is crazy but par for the course here on the boardwalk. Aside from the obvious fact that this could be the only place on the entire boardwalk that serves any sort of vegetable that isn’t battered and fried, they truly do have some tasty and healthy eats here. Surprisingly large mix of organic, dairy-free and gluten-free selections. They definitely have an understanding and focus on catering to the allergen-sensitive consumer. Acai bowls are artfully arranged, reasonably sized, and not terribly priced given the fact that an egg sandwich costs nearly $10 at most spots around here. Come to think of it, they have those here too and they’re only $8.99 - unless you want that on a croissant in which case you have to add $1. How is that even possible? Smoothies are tasty but feel even rather expensive given they don’t contain any protein powder or ingredients other than fruit, almond milk and ice. Iced coffee was tasty and priced similarly to other spots in the area. They list a Latte on the menu, but I didn't see an espresso machine so not sure how that works. Hershey's next door does have Lavazza espresso, but they don't open till 10 so you can start with a coffee here while waiting for them to open up... Overall, would recommend for a health(ier) breakfast given the other options in the area, but you're certainly paying more given the location.

This diner goes out of their way to offer glutin free foods. We always go here because a family member has celiac. Food choices and quality is great.

Shanna Bananas

One day I'll come for lunch but the breakfast is better than the diners. The gluten free pancakes are the best out of many I've tried and they served classic hashbrowns which is not easy to find. The coffees come in a carafe which I love. I've had their chicken fried steak with the gravy and the steak tips. Both are my favorites there. Never been disappointed and the servers are the mvps.

LP Platow

Five stars all around. The gluten free wraps are deceiving good. They don’t taste gluten free, but I assure you, they are! The back patio is cool and comfortable. You’re sitting at a beach dune without being on the sand. Five stars specifically for Kaylee. She is always helpful and just one of the kindest souls on the boardwalk. It’s always good to say hello to her, season after season. Thanks again for a fantastic afternoon.

Julie Buckner

Cute Atmosphere, But Not Great for Gluten-Free The restaurant has a really cute atmosphere, and the service was good, but if you’re gluten-free, the options are very limited. While they do offer substitutes, they are not worth the extra cost—you get significantly less food, and the quality doesn’t justify the price. I paid $35 for breakfast with a latte (not including tip!! Was over $40) which just didn’t feel worth it and I left feeling slightly hungry still. If you don’t have dietary restrictions, you might have a better experience, but for gluten-free people, it’s not the best value.

eliza ford

Got gluten free pancakes. Very tasty

Melissa Carswell

I'm sure disappointed that there are no vegan pancakes at the pancake house. Glad there was some gluten free options for my friends. Some restaurants can make a gluten free recipe that is also vegan. Please consider this.

We came in on labor day, so take the review with a grain of salt. We had a friendly waiter who in a clearly understaffed restaurant. The food was average, our buffalo wings were more salty than spicy and apple (on gluten-free pancakes) a little bit goopy. He did forget to bring or charge for curly fries and sausages, but we were already full so it worked out. Perhaps it would be better on a less busy day or with more staff.
