I am very sensitive to gluten and have gone many times without any symptoms. Food is great, and I’ve been told that gluten free food should come out on a clear glass like platter. However, you need to be specific.
They we’re very good at telling me what’s gluten free on the menu and they used a separate pan for the pancakes to make sure that there was no cross contamination
The gf pancakes are amazing and so is the French toast and for a side you can order four thick slices of bacon which is amazing!!
Hit or miss. I've been going for years and got sick and never went back. The staff tends to be irresponsible with making sure the chefs know the allergy is present. If you are sensitive, I wouldn't risk it but if you do be very clear the severity of the allergy
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.

In love with their GF pancakes I like the blueberry ones and order their (real) whipped cream on top. Absolutely heavenly! Service is great too!!
I would have given a 5 a couple months ago. I go there often and really enjoyed their pancakes but the last couple times the pancakes clearly are a different recipe which is not as good.
Although the GF pancakes were good my experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. I ordered GF pancakes and my waiter brought me the regular ones, which I only discovered after taking a bite and seeing my friend receive her side of pancakes which looked identical to mine. When I asked the waiter of mine were gf realized it was a mistake and responded, "well you only took a bite". He never apologized for the mistake, while I had to pay for the consequences the rest of the day. If you're going to serve GF items these kind of mistakes cannot happen!!
They have several varieties of gluten free pancakes. I've had the blueberry and the plain. The blueberry was OK, but the regulate were good--they had a nice texture and I didn't need to put syrup on them for them to be good. I actually couldn't finish them all. The other food they have (eggs, hash browns) were also good.
So many gluten free pancakes I couldn't eat them all. Yummy! I ordered pure maple syrup too. Extra cost but worth it. Military discount was surprise bonus!

Many GF options and the food was delicious!
Was glutened by their food today. It was my first time there, and asked them about their GF pancake prep, and was told they cook them on a separate cooktop. I ordered those, plus 2 eggs and bacon, and told them about my Celiac. I’m pretty sure what came out were regular pancakes. They didn’t smell like regular pancakes, and my son said they tasted different than his wheat flour pancakes. But, I was violently ill later today. Disappointing.
An amazing experience! They have separate waffle iron for the waffles and a separate area to make the GF pancakes. The server was super knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
We’ll be back! And they do “take out”! But for this app, I would not have considered going here for GF food, since it certainly doesn’t sound safe. It is safe! Server explained GF is clearly marked on the menu (& it’s almost everything!) and is served on yellow plates - always make sure that happens. For naturally GF food like eggs, make sure to tell the server you need it prepared GF & celiac safe. My omelette was huge & fluffy (more like a round egg bake, not thin & folded over) & I took 1/2 home. It came with 3 full sized GF pancakes which were delicious. My son gobbled up the GF chocolate chip pancakes, a staple he hasn’t been able to have since pre-diagnosis. It’s sweetened, whipped cream made it perfect for him. He also had the chicken chipotle crepe & was impressed at how good it was, & it was spicy, not bland. Non-celiac daughter raved about her raspberry French toast. Receipt properly showed what needed to be GF, and it was affordable! Like I said - we’ll be back. They were only serving the “breakfast menu” this Sunday. I’m curious what their lunch menu has on it.
