Review of Happy Jack Pancake House

I called the one on Philadelphia Ave before going, just to confirm they had GF. The woman who answered confirmed they use the same waffle iron for both GF and non-GF items. I made a sound of disappointment(awe..)to which she gave me attitude and said “we’ve had lots of Celiacs and never had a problem.. plus the waffle iron gets so hot it kills off all the gluten” Before I could even start to explain it doesn’t work like that, she started into another very snotty tangent about how they never have problems and know what they’re doing. We clearly decided to skip it and go to the Bayside Skillet instead.
