Symptomatic Celiac

Review


Not celiac safe. I called before coming because we had a 20 minute drive here. I told them the severity of my allergy and they said, “Yes. It’s gluten FREE. You will be safe to eat here.” I started to order and the waiter told me that nothing here was gluten free. But the waiter was extremely nice.

I informed our server that I had celiac and ordered the GF pancakes. When the food came out, a different server brought me (not GF) pecan pancakes or something, so I knew not to eat those and told him I had ordered GF pancakes. He brought back "GF pancakes" but I was sick before we even left the restaurant.

My husband and I ate at the Original Pancake House, on Parmer Lane, for breakfast Sat. morning; it was our first time to eat there.

I had three “Gluten Free” Original Pancakes which were so delicious!! They were nice and thick, and had substance to them. The soft whipped butter and warmed syrup was a nice compliment to the pancakes. I also had 2 thick strips of turkey bacon, which were a bit over cooked. My husband enjoyed his breakfast of Eggs Benedict w/regular bacon, and a half order of Buttermilk Pancakes. The coffee was piping hot and yummy.

I wanted to compliment our waitress, Daniela. When I told her that I had to eat “gluten free” because I have Celiac; she seemed acknowledgeable about what I was saying, and showed me the GF items on the menu, and explained the cooking process in the kitchen area, which made me feel, at ease. Thanks! We will definitely be back!

This location has amazing service and really great food, definitely worth the wait. There were at least 6 flavor of gluten free pancakes to choose from. I went with the pumpkin which had cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top, just awesome is all I can say especially with the crispy bacon I ordered. My pancakes looked so good that the lady at the next table stopped the waitress to ask what they were. It was such a wonderful treat to get GF pancakes that I didn't need to make myself and tasted great too.

Gluten free pancakes in lots of flavors, I've had bacon and pumpkin so far and I am extremely pleased. Also- no up charge for GF! My hubby says the regular pancakes and omelettes are great too.

Knowledgeable. Will go over their procedures in the kitchen and listen and answer all of your questions. My son is extremely sensitive and he always orders the gf chocolate chip pancakes. He's never been sick after eating here.

The pancakes were amazing and the server and kitchen staff were very knowledgeable! Our server ensured the kitchen staff took the necessary precautions and I didn’t have a reaction! Basically all the pancakes and waffles can be made gluten free and they change their gloves, use separate pans, and clean work areas.

They are very good about allergies. I asked for DF pancakes in addition to GF and they tasted normal! Brought out separate and had a label. So great!
