Love their gluten free ancient grain pancakes and bacon. Hubby likes the gluten free ones better than their regular ones even though he has no issues with gluten. 2X2X3 for me. Two eggs any way you like them, two strips of bacon and 3 gluten free pancakes.

Had my first gf visit. Their gf pancakes are pretty good (even if a bit pricier). Menu doesn’t have as many gf options as most other breakfast places.

I don't understand why anyone who needs to be gluten-free would eat here.

Post script, I mentioned CC concerns on reviews to the manager. Regarding CC, manager said they have a catering grill they can use for the GF pancake, upon request. --- Trying for first time, asked about GF pancake. Waiter had ingredient list in his pocket, and offered us a sample. Very tasty, and along with tons of other menu options (eggs, meats, salads, etc...), plenty of choices for GF. Good quality is excellent and service great too. As others have noted, they don't have a dedicated grill. A small amount of cross contamination is tolerable for us. We will be back.

I have eaten at two separately owned OPH. The on in williamsville ny uses bob's red mill and you can have a large list to choose from. Also the one in plano, tx and all they have is ancient grains as their gluten free pancake. I have never had any problems after eating here.

0 stars, came for gluten free pancakes was told theyre cooked on same surface as the regular, thus MAJOR cross contamination. Only ok if you don't really need to be gluten free...I ate a bowl of fruit.

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.
