A year or so ago I railed Stacks for getting rid of their gluten free pancakes and waffles but they are back. Way to go Stacks... THANK YOU!!!

This $40 meal was a complete letdown. I ordered gluten-free pancakes, only to find they were made with Kodiak pancake mix—a cheap, off-the-shelf brand. The pancakes were flat and tasteless, and I had to pay an extra $4 for the substitution due to my celiac condition, which is completely unjustifiable for such poor quality. To make matters worse, my eggs were served ice cold, as if they hadn’t been reheated at all. I had to ask for a replacement, which should never happen at a decent restaurant. The restaurant itself smelled foul, further ruining the experience. After eating, I even felt sick, which makes me question the quality and safety of the food. The overall experience was far below any reasonable standard for the price, and I’m warning you: don’t waste your time or money here.
