Love coming here and haven't gotten sick! They use separate waffle irons/griddles and have a great gluten free batter.

So many delicious options for gf dining on the breakfast menu. Crepes, pancakes, French toast, and more. The oatmeal is not labeled as gf and I believe it indeed is not. :(

This place is amazing!!! For starters there are so many options for gluten-free people that you can have almost anything you want. They bring out gluten free on a red plate so you know it’s gluten free. The staff is very knowledgeable and kind. We thought about moving from Georgia to here for this restaurant!!!

Lots of g-free options including the fluffiest pancakes I have ever seen! Manager came and spoke to us - all g-free meals are served on separate dinnerware. Knowledgeable staff. Good place for kids too!

I had the pigs in a blanket "pancakes with sauges" with a side of hashbrowns. I also had some of my wife's western omelet. Everything was very good. It was hard to believe the pancakes were GF, they were so good. When you order something GF it will come out on a colored plate. I will definitely come back again.

Staff was knowledgeable and there were plenty of gluten free options! I went with a large group from work and was concerned about my food getting mixed up with others. That didn’t happen though! They put there gluten free food one different colored plates! I ordered strawberry crepes and the were delicious! Best part was I have celiac disease and I didn’t get sick! Will eat here again!

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!
