Delicious pancakes, and they come out marked as GF for extra confidence! Mine didn’t come out on a GF plate the first time, and when I asked, they brought it back and made a new one just to make sure.

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!

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.

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.

Manager explained the location is gluten friendly - dedicated waffle machine - but not dedicated space. The server and manager were very knowledgeable and were able to accomodate my son’s allergy, cleaning the area, making the food separately. The food and service were outstanding. My son ate the gluten free waffle, eggs and bacon. It was the best breakfast he had in a long time.

There were so many options: waffles, pancakes, French toast. I got the cinnamon French toast and bacon, and it was amazing! I kept saying that I wished it was just a little bit gross, so I knew for sure it was GF. It tasted non-GF, and I was worried I somehow got the wrong food. (I didn’t.) My food came out on a yellow plate; all other plates were white, and I was assured it was cooked on separate GF cookware - without even having to ask! I would 100% recommend this place. (I have celiac.)

Went there and ordered the gluten free waffles and was sick once I got home.

I’ve been there quite a few times and have gotten the plain gluten free pancakes and egg whites every time. They come with an umbrella in it. I’ve never had an issue afterwards! The staff is always very kind as well.

I don't know why they are on this site?! They do not have a gluten free menu, or gluten free pancakes. I had scrambled eggs and sausage. Thank God I didn't sick, but I wasn't full either. It wasn't worth my time but my family was fine.

Celiac friendly?

No

They are really good at telling people what’s gf on the menu and they use a separate pancake griddle for the gf pancakes to make sure that there’s no cross contamination

The gf pancakes and French toast were fantastic and for a side you can order four thick slices of bacon which is amazing!!

GF pancakes were fluffy and could barely tell they were GF. Variety of flavors was great!

They had waffles on menu but wouldn’t let me have the same flavor of pancakes in a waffle.

Light and fluffy pancakes. Full order is around 8 small pancakes. They said they can add about any topping. I had chocolate chip and it was amazing!! Bacon is thick cut, order is 4 big pieces. Well worth the money!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf pancakes. Huge selection. some cross contamination

Celiac friendly?

We ordered delivery and my ordered was not done as gluten free. I confirmed by calling. We have normally had very good experiences and the manager did credit the meal. Be sure to check if you order delivery.

So many delicious options for gf dining on the breakfast menu. Crepes, pancakes, French toast, and more. The oatmeal is not labeled as gf and I believe it indeed is not. :(

Four stars only due to miscommunication on what pancake I ordered but still got gluten free pancakes lol and you can’t go wrong with bacon

I eat here often with no issue. I order a side of Bacon and Eggs, coffee/ cream.

They do offer Gluten friendly pancakes however they are prepared and cooked in the same area as the other pancakes I was told. So if your celiac like myself that’s not an option.

They staff and management are very helpful in making certain I am served a safe meal. I so appreciate that.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was amazing! Very sweet and understanding about celiac. (They cook on separate grills for us celiacs) the pancakes are GF, and the hashbrowns are too (I asked to be sure and they didn't put any seasoning) overall I am satisfied :) they are unsure about their syrup, so make sure you bring some GF pancake syrup from home!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great GF pancakes, tons of options. I eat here once a month at least and have never had a problem. They serve GF on a different colored plate. I'm very sensitive to gluten.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have the best gluten free pancakes I have ever had. Breakfast meats are gluten free, too. No dedicated space, but surfaces are cleaned to avoid cross contamination.

This place is amazing!!! For starters there are so many options for gluten-free people that you can have almost anything you want. They bring out gluten free on a red plate so you know it’s gluten free. The staff is very knowledgeable and kind. We thought about moving from Georgia to here for this restaurant!!!

I just went to this location on Monday and had a phenomenal experience. While the building is a little out dated and they only accept cash or check, the food was delicious. They don’t have a gluten free menu but I communicated with my waitress and she had a friend with celiacs so she knew the seriousness of the allergy. She stated they have a gluten free batter and a dedicated grilling area for the pancakes. You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or any simple mix ins; you just have to ask. I got the Western Omelette which was made with four eggs and huge and it also came with a side of three pancakes. I forgot how much I loved pancakes, and I’m just waiting to go back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of g-free options including the fluffiest pancakes I have ever seen! Manager came and spoke to us - all g-free meals are served on separate dinnerware. Knowledgeable staff. Good place for kids too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gluten free pancakes in the county with a number of toppings available. There are also excellent omelets that are gluten free.

Very busy weekend breakfast. Register online to avoid long waits. Place is noisy with crying and shouting kids so ask for a quiet table. Its out gluten free go to breakfast place.

We attempted this location just now. They are an open top cooking location, everything is made on the same cooking surface. They have no allergy protocol. This location is not celiac friendly!

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff is extremely knowledgeable on what is and what is not gluten free - asked me if it were an allergy or preference and when I told her allergy she took extra precaution. They even bring the toast out on a red plate rather then white, I was told if it does not come out on a red plate do not eat it.

Food was extremely delicious, omelettes are MASSIVE - could easily feed 2 people. Can make pancakes and waffles GF. I will definitely be going back!

Wow! Pancakes with strawberries!! I can never find g free pancakes! Delish and our waitress Tewanna was super!

Menu well-marked, separate plate color for GF

Even though they use Pamela's baking mix, which is what we use at home, it's fun to be able to go out for breakfast worry free. Have been to OPH many times and never had any issues afterward. Most recently had apple crepes which were great and nice to be able to get a short order (2) instead of full order (3).

Several outlets in the Twin Cities area and we have had success at 4 - the Roseville location is stark and felt cold but the other locations we've been to are very homey and cozy. Awesome thick bacon and coffee served in mugs which seem to be handmade, adding to the cozy feel.

I love how many options I have here! Their french toast is delicious. It's the only place around where I have choice between pancakes, waffles, french toast, and crepes! I come here quite often.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was delicious. There are many gluten free choices including pancakes, waffles, and some of the meat. The omelettes are baked and puff up nicely. This is a chain so you must ask server how they cook it. At this store they have a separate griddle for gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

My favorite breakfast spot in Columbus. Has a ton of gluten (friendly: meaning they have gf batter but it is cooked on same stove top), flavors my favorites have been blueberry, pumpkin, and gingerbread! So many different options. Even has gf waffles and of course your traditional eggs, omelets, etc

Waitress stressed that they were gluten friendly and cross-containment could occur. Had 1 GF pancake, bacon, and huevos ranchero. Really good food and I don’t think I had any CC.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server was knowledgeable about gluten free options. Gluten free pancakes were good as well

Gluten free pancakes are in the menu. The waitress warned us that the kitchen is cross contaminated and they cannot guarantee food without gluten. Sure enough, got sick later that day. If you are not extremely sensitive to gluten, this would work for you, but it is no good for a Celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Wonderful staff. The gluten free menu states that there isn’t anything that is Celiac safe available. I sure appreciate their honestly.
