Review of Merritt (My) Island Pancake House

I'm not sure if the previous posters didn't ask questions, but this place is absolutely not safe for celiacs. We spoke to the owners wife and were advised that the pancakes and waffles are cooked on shared equipment. We couldn't even order hash browns because the skillet is shared. We were advised that the only thing they could do is clean the skillet off with water. They have Udi's bread, but don't have a dedicated toaster. We were told numerous times that there is likely flour in the air in the kitchen and that there is absolutely no dedicated space for anything GF. We risked it and got the Egg Scramble bowl and were promised they would attempt precautions but nothing was promised. The menu even says right on it that there's little they can do to control cross contamination. No dedicated fryer. If you are sensitive, beware.

On the positive side, she was very knowledgeable and friendly and invited us back on a slower day so they could try and make arrangements for us (it was very busy when we went). The food we got was delicious. Will update if I get sick.
