As others noted, there is a risk of cross contamination here. My son and I are celiac but not strongly sensitive and my son loves, loves this chains pancakes so we had to check it out. I will note that the waiter was very helpful and very honest about the possible cross-contamination. They also accidentally brought out my son non-gluten-free pancakes and they immediately grabbed them and corrected it. They do a good job here for what they can.
Cross contamination is a major risk here. My server told me they don't have time to wipe down the griddle or use a separate pan. Not his fault, but pretty big disappointment.
My family is celiac and I have been going here for many years and have never had a problem with cross contamination. Their staff is very old school and very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate us. I am so sensitive to gluten that even a smidge of a breadcrumb will leave me miserable for days so I really appreciate this restaurant and I hope they stay in business for many years to come. My family has some pretty serious allergies. This is one of the only local restaurants I can trust with my gluten allergies as bad as they are and I appreciate them so much.
Notes
Many Original Pancake House locations offer gluten free pancakes. Please speak to your server about taking the proper precautions to prevent cross contamination, if necessary.

While they offer gluten free pancakes, they good them on the same griddle as all their other pancakes. They were unwilling to wipe down the griddle nor cook in a separate pan. Very unaccommodating
Has gluten free sausage, bacon, potatoes, and pancakes. They use Bobs Red Mill mix and the pancakes are thick but a good breakfast option for gf people!

The staff was knowledgeable and nice and even helped me pick out what I wanted. I had the gf waffle and a side of fruit. The waffle was really good and the side of fruit was amazing. Normally when you get a side of fruit at places it’s just crummy, but this one was so goooood. My boyfriend had the burrito and said it was very good just greasy.
Entire menu can be made GF. Spoke to the staff and they gave separate prep and equipment for GF.
Gluten free pancakes were excellent. I am not sure how careful they are about cross contact. I did not get sick, but restaurants like this are generally not super cautious, so I might have just gotten lucky.
My celiac husband has their gluten free pancakes all the time with no issues! Staff is friendly and understanding.
No reservations and there’s always a long wait on weekends, but once you’re placed at a table the service is quick.
I’m dairy+egg free and order the hash brown plate with a side of sausage and all the omelet veggies and it’s delicious.
I had their pancakes and they were so good. It’s been years since I felt like I could have a normal breakfast
