I love the GF pancakes and omelettes! We've been coming there for years and I've never had a reaction!

I've eaten at both Original Pancake Houses on several occasions, and I was extremely disappointed to have waited 40 minutes today to be seated and order, only to be told they now cook the gluten-free pancakes on the same griddle as all of the others. I was also told they could not accommodate me by using a separate pan. I'm not sure what changed with their protocol; in the past I've been told they use a separate area of the kitchen to prepare gluten-free items. This restaurant is NOT a safe choice if you have celiac disease.

We are from Columbus, OH and frequent the OPH in Columbus. This location doesn’t hold a candle to that one! No GF waffles, only a couple GF pancake selections, and the pancakes unfortunately taste GF (the ones at the OPH in Columbus don’t taste GF). As a disclaimer, I probably would have enjoyed it more had the location in Columbus not already totally exceeded my expectations.

Best gluten free pancakes! I was diagnosed with Celiac 10 yrs ago. I've been to a lot of restaurants! I come here often, and I've never had a bad reaction after dining here. The pecan pancakes are phenomenal! You have to try them! 😋

I called ahead to ask about a GF menu. Hostess said they have GF pancakes. I decided to meet family here for breakfast. While ordering I asked about pancakes and server was unaware of procedures for prep, only aware that they do offer GF pancakes. I also asked about their egg dishes and if any of these could be prepared GF. Her response - “we don’t put milk in any of our egg dishes.” I then decided to just have coffee. GF pancakes might be fine for someone without Celiac, but as a Celiac I would not eat food from this restaurant.

Menu has lots of selections. GF pancakes are very good, omelettes are the best. We visit family here from out of state and have had breakfast here 4-5 times. Never had a reaction.

I was thrilled to find a place to get gluten free pancakes! They are excellent and I have never gotten sick. The bacon is awesome as well.

Amazing gluten free pancakes. Very accommodating. Huge portions. Did I mention how much we love this place.

Be careful with the bacon. While it tastes great, we won't let our GF son eat it, because the restaurant cannot guarantee it's GF.

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!

They have gluten sensitive pancakes. This is not shown on their website or menu, but the server showed me several types of pancakes that can be made with this batter. They also have omelet & egg selections.
