Colonial Pancake House

Long wait. Lots of GF options. And we felt comfortable with GF protocols. But honestly the pancakes were nothing special.

Delicious Blueberry stuffed Gluten Free pancakes and a side of bacon. They had a gluten free menu. Though a common kitchen, they did mark my pancakes gluten free which was nice. Great service and happy to have options like GF pancakes, GF waffles or omelettes! Will definitely be back.

Host reviewed the menu with me, pancakes are on a shared griddle but it’s sanitized before cooking GF. Waffles have a dedicated iron, and omelette and meat are cooked on dedicated pans. Pancakes came out flagged. Had those, eggs, and bacon, it was all good.

Advertised on the building that they have a gluten free menu. Food comes out labeled. Good, filling breakfast and the pancakes tasted good (unlike some GF pancakes)

Had the GF pancakes, eggs, sausage and potatoes. It was all very tasty and gluten free. I never got sick which is rare for me these days. They provided a GF menu and even had a sign outside of the building advertising gluten free options. The staff was very nice and made me feel confident in the food they were providing me. I would recommend going here if you have celiacs.

Good meal. Very safe establishment. Separate gf menu. Only drawback is they can’t do the specialty waffles and pancakes gf…or at least they aren’t in the gf menu. You can still add some things to your gf waffles or pancakes, but just not the specialty ones.

Pancakes tasted ok. Very small gluten free men. My bacon cheeseburger was ok, burger itself lacked seasoning tasted like the 70 blend ratio, had shredded cheddar melted on top, 2 slices of bland bacon, lettuce, tomato, dill pickles, had a bun that I did not eat. I was scared because it was not marked gluten free or anything. My daughter did like her pancake, but it was very dry. Tummy was great afterwards. My tummy was not feeling very good afterwards either. The gluten-free menu which they advertise on a sign outside was not very big. It has like 7 items, staff was not very helpful when asking questions about it either. So I would not recommend.

Our waitress was celiac and very knowledgeable. As soon as I asked about the gluten free menu she made sure to ask whether it was sensitivity, allergy or celiac so she could let the kitchen staff know. The waffles were amazing and very fluffy!

The wife of the owner has celiac so they know how to cook for people with celiac. There is a separate waffle maker for GF waffles. They are delicious! They taste like real waffles. The eggs and bacon are cooked on a grill where no gluten food is cooked. Very knowledgeable! The food was delicious and I was so excited to relax and enjoy breakfast! Highly recommend.

We were very excited to see a sign with Gluten free pancakes on the side of the building. I am gluten intolerant and ate eggs, bacon, fruit and home fries with no problems. My daughter is celiac and had issues after eating the gluten free pancakes. They have a gluten free menu but it has a warning for possible cross contamination.

Fantastic waffles. You'd never know they were gluten free, to the point that I asked the server to double check! She assured me they use different markers and a different part of the grill. Absolutely outstanding service every single time we've been.

Knowledgeable. Good service. Great breakfast. Don’t always get to have pancakes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our son was thrilled to know we found a place that had GF waffles. Once he took a bite we saw a huge smile. Before we could ask if he liked it, he had eaten half. We strongly recommend this place for anyone in the area. It was only a 10 minute walk from the capitol building in Colonial Williamsburg.

A bit disappointed in their gf knowledge. My omelet was gf as requested to server, but the home fries had been cooked in fryer. When brought to her attention, she immediately brought a clean plate for my omelet and brought me grilled home fries. Always need to advocate for yourself!!

Gluten free menu , knowleable. Brought me regular waffles. Sicker than a dog.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not reliably gluten free. Ordered 2 gluten free meals. Pancakes and waffles. My pancakes were gluten free ...my brothers waffle was not. Watch for the little toothpick flag. Ask. Ask. Ask. Manager immediately waived the fee for breakfast. But now our planned day is ruined.

Celiac friendly?

No

Waffle was delicious! I would definitely go back.

not celiac friendly. GF pancakes were ok nothing special a little dry if anything baccon ok and eggs cooked perfect.

The GF waffle was amazing, nice moist but crunchy. The GF pancakes my daughter had rocked. My husband said daughters pancakes were better than his. He had the gluten full pancakes. 3 thumbs up.

Pancakes were dry and had very little flavor. Waitress seemed unsure of gf preparation but assured us grill was cleaned before our pancakes were cooked. She could not tell us if anything else was prepared in such a way that would prevent cross-contamination so we opted to stick with pancakes alone.

gf pancakes were delicious. I had scrambled eggs, bacon and home fries. it was good and good service.

Amazing gluten free pancakes!
