The Original Pancake House

These are some of the best Belgian waffles! They’re so fluffy. I had to ask the server if it was really the gluten free waffle because it was so good. My not gluten free mom agreed they were good gf waffles. We will be back! *I am not sensitive to cross contamination so I cannot comment on that

They make gluten free pancakes that taste delicious and are light and fluffy. I usually get an omelette which has plenty of various options. It is hard for me to believe I haven’t had a reaction eating here, because it is a very busy, popular chain with gluten flying freely, I’m sure. But no issues to date.

Not Gluten Free! They have gluten free waffles, but take NO measures to prevent cross-contamination. This was explained to me by a server. Stay away, especially if it's busy!

Celiac friendly?

No

Delicious GF pancakes! The eggs and hash browns were good too and didn't make me sick! Gluten free breakfast restaurants are hard to find, this one is worth it! I'm so full!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When they first opened they were very good..but i have been ill the last 3-4 times... This place may be good for those on a Gluten-free diet, but not for someone with celiac. ..my family and i have found other places to go that really care... and don't blow smoke....

Got sick from the veggie sausages and it was completely awful. Not gluten free friendly.

The gluten-free pancakes were solid and appreciated. They have fresh blueberry syrup also which was terrific.

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!
