Camellia Grill
Celiac Safety Score
Camellia Grill might charm with its old-school diner vibes, but for anyone with celiac disease, the experience is fraught with risk. There’s no gluten-free menu, no dedicated prep space, and the main grill is shared for everything—so cross-contact feels practically guaranteed. Staff don’t seem trained on celiac safety, and questions about gluten-free options are met with confusion or vague suggestions (think: 'maybe the salad?'). If you’re highly sensitive, you know that’s just not good enough; unfortunately, this isn’t the spot for a carefree, safe meal.
