The Original Pancake House

Used to love this place! Have eaten here so many times, but today may have been my last. I went to the Wells Fargo championship after here and that was a huge mistake because I was SO sick and absolutely humiliated in front of so many people. Projectile vomit all over myself. Ruined the day for me and my hubby. BE CAREFUL eating here.

The food was delicious. There were many gf options. They have a dedicated area for cooking pancakes. Our server Lisa was great!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free options including their meats and pancakes

They have a special menu that tells you which pancakes they can make with certified gluten free pancake mix. The pancakes are fluffy and have the same texture as a regular pancake, which is typically hard to find especially at a chain type restaurant. Our waitress was great; super attentive and timely even with being short staffed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were a little hesitant to eat here at first because me, my sister, and my mom all have celiac, and they told us they used the same griddle for pancakes as the regular ones. However, we were told they could use a separate pan for our GF pancakes. Me and my sister had chocolate chip pancakes, and my mom had the buttermilk pancakes. They were fantastic and none of us got sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent! They have so many options for gluten free pancakes! Not that long of a wait either and they have multiple locations. Would definitely go back again.

So many options! We eat here all the time!!

The food is absolutely delicious. The menu has lots of choices. Some of the best gluten free pancakes I've had.

Terrific breakfast place. The menu has lots of options. They have a very nice laminated GF options menu. I was with a group of 4 and we all enjoyed our lunch. It was nice to be able to have pancakes with everyone else!

I had the strawberry pancakes and they were some of the best GF pancakes I've had! The batter was sweet and the pancakes were fluffy. Truly some of the best I've had!

The menu was labeled with GF but some of the menu was wrong - they said the meat was no longer Gluten free but still marked on the menu as GF. Otherwise they were very knowledgeable of what was GF!

I absolutely love original house of pancakes. It is my favorite place to eat in Champaign. They have the most amazing gluten free pancakes I have ever had. Just make sure to let the server know you have an allergy!
