    They have a bunch of gluten free items, including pancakes and biscuits. It's not listed on the menu and there's a small surcharge, but the portions are big. Cash only!

    Gluten free offerings. Start your day with the cornmeal buttermilk pancakes with bacon and cheddar cheese. Don't miss a side of their house made rosemary lamb sausage.

    Big Guy's Breakfast. Get all sausage (it's homemade), skip the bacon. Substitute blueberry pancakes (or any other special pancakes). Put poached eggs on the sausage. YUM. Great price and so much food.

    Amazing and one-of-a-kind corned beef hash! It has carrots, celery, onion, and eggs (along with the usual potatoes). Will definitely be back!

    Order the veggie scramble (butternut squash = awesome!); French toast orgy is appropriately named (and worthy of a photo); Texas fries also awesome.

    :: The cornmeal pancakes are stunning. But they will skimp you on syrup, so ask for extra.
