Review of Pancake Chef

Ate there during COVID-19 pandemic. Could not reach them on the phone so went downtown. They did not offer carry-out, so we got an isolated table in the back. Celiac family member ordered GF pancakes. Non-celiac but gluten-sensitive person ordered chef's breakfast (meat, eggs, hash browns, gluten-free pancakes). No ham available and no substitutions available. Best thing about the meal was that the garnish (bit of kale and two grapes) was delicious, and the eggs were good. The hash browns were greasy. The bacon was OK at best. The allegedly GF pancakes tasted good, too, but celiac family member quickly developed severe abdominal cramps. Either the pancakes weren't GF or there was significant contamination. Also, they have a surcharge for using credit cards. We do not plan to return.
