I’ve come here in the past but first time since all of Covid. I personally love the GF Banana Nut Pancakes! Highly recommend. They make a note of the allergy and I have yet to ever get sick after eating here.

The Original Pancake House in Aliso Viejo, CA is not celiac friendly. The menu lists gluten friendly pancakes with a note that they are not for celiacs. When I asked the server if the griddle could be cleaned off before making them, she said: No they won't do that. But if you are not celiac and just want to eat GF pancakes, they are good.
No
Maybe it was the server I unfortunately had but I did not feel safe to eat here beyond a bowl of fruit. The gluten free pancakes are made on the same griddle; “we clean it off”. The waffles are made in the same waffle irons as non GF waffles, “ we clean that too and use it”. I’m truly happy fellow Celiacs have had success here but I find it to be too risky; thereby unsafe.
No
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.
The staff was very attentive . They have a dedicated grill and the pancakes were very tasty!
Yes
My boy got really sick after eating here. It was super busy with multiple Christmas parties and even though we spoke to manager and all about avoiding cross contamination my son got stomache ache soon after. I would not recommend coming here if you are highly allergic. Also FYI their pancakes even though can be gluten free are not dairy free because Mix has dairy in it.
No
My gluten-loving friend swears that their GF pancakes are better than normal ones! Staff is trained for celiac/allergies. I recommend the banana pancakes, the apple waffle, and the potatoes - but not at the same time, because they give you huge portions.
Yes
Excellent breakfast options. Family/owners are celiac. They do have regular wheat items but all GF are cooked separately. They know how to avoid cross-contamination. Our first time was Bearkats with our local Celiac Awareness Group so that should tell you something. Again food is always very good. Limited hours open though.
Yes
Great place for breakfast or lunch! Yummy pancakes and crepes. Love the blueberry pancakes. Staff is knowledgable and accommodating.
I got very sick from here! They promised gluten free pancakes. I asked multiple people and even double checked when they were served. They tasted to good to be true and they were!! I spent the rest of the day throwing up. Don’t take a chance here.
