The Original Pancake House

Very sensitive celiac and a non sensitive celiac have eaten here twice with success! Non sensitive loved the GF pancakes. Unfortunately there are not many GF/DF options but I was able to eat ham omelette without cheese and potatoes. Delicious. They didn’t have alternative creamer for coffee. Fresh Orange juice was good too

Most accommodating waiter I've EVER had. I'm GF and egg-free and they made me delicious pancakes that didn't contain either! The waiter triple checked with the kitchen, asked if cross-contamination would be an issue, and worked with me to understand the menu options I had. Very impressed. The pancakes were fantastic.

Got sick from the veggie sausages and it was completely awful. Not gluten free friendly.

The gluten-free pancakes were solid and appreciated. They have fresh blueberry syrup also which was terrific.

OK here's my honest review going to the Original Pancake House with Celiac. They have several gluten free options, which is super cool. They can make any pancake gluten free, however, I have no idea what ingredients are in their add ons for pancakes and honestly I'm not sure the wait staff fully knows either. Due to that lack of confidence, I ordered plain GF pancakes. They tasted excellent and I highly recommend. The caveat is how sensitive are you and how willing are you to take a legit chance in potentially getting glutened? They do cook the pancakes on a separate griddle, but they use the same cooking utensil as regular pancakes, so the potential is there for cross contamination. I would avoid the waffles because they are cooked in the same waffle iron. I took a chance on the pancakes and I think I will be safe. I would stay away from ANY sides as they are cooked on the same griddled as the gluten foods. If I get glutened I am confident it is because I did not ask the right questions related to meat prep BEFORE I took a bite of the ham I ordered. So if you decide to roll the dice on this one and hope against hope because you just want to have a "normal" meal out with your family because celiac is HARD, I would recommend sticking with straight up GF plain pancakes. Hope that helps you all! Have a good day!
