Great for Celiacs! I used to go to Mel's all the time as a student. Then I stopped when I was diagnosed with Celiac and I then had a very bad episode. This was years ago, long before COVID. NOW, they have completely redeemed themselves and then some! They have a great GF menu and try very hard to ensure safety. I felt great after eating and the burgers are just as I remember. Pretty sure the GF bun was from O'Doughs, so it could be better (especially with all the great GF bakeries around). But they clearly toasted it on the grill so it was really good. Glad to be able to come back to this old haunt again. ❤️ Whomever updated their gluten free training, menu, and setup, I thank you. ❤️

Very nice place. I can go here every day. Most of the times I go with belgian waffles or dessert waffles. A whole gluten-free menu is available here, which is impressive.

Huge gluten free menu and a great atmosphere. Service here has always been good in my experience.
