The Original Pancake House

Loved the gluten-free pancakes, but both times I've been there. The servers had miserable faces, and they made it seem like an imposition to ask for anything.

In general good, the gluten-free pancakes are really yummy. But when u ask for crispy bacon it shouldn't still be rubbery...couldn't eat it..

We were searching for Sunday breakfast that offered gluten free options because of Celiac Disease. This place did not disappoint! There was a bit of a wait but not unusual for a Sunday. That had a waiting area inside and also seating outside with plenty of parking in an adjacent lot. It’s also mobility friendly. It’s a bit tight in there but they can certainly make it work with a heads up. The breakfast food was some of the best I’ve had. Period. Not only did they accommodate my allergy, but they also had a lot of variety. Notably, they had things I don’t normally find, regardless of my allergy restrictions, like PB and raspberry pancakes! Obviously that’s what I had (gf) and it did not disappoint. The rest of my family also raved about the food. The service was good. We got our food in a timely manor and had drinks filled in between. I’d also say the cost was appropriate for the serving sizes, taste, and freshness. I’d say that this establishment is a good choice for families, singles, retirees and it appears LBGTQ friendly. In fact, I found that whole area to be welcoming. I had one major problem with this establishment. I’m only mentioning it because I hope they read this and take my comment constructively and with good intentions…. The bathrooms were so dirty that it made me uncomfortable to use them! It was mostly the floors. Looked as if they hadn’t been swept or washed in months. Then on my way out, I noticed a gross kitchen floor too. I very much believe that an overall clean establishment will have a clean bathroom and a clean kitchen floor. I know it was the weekend and super busy, but that’s no excuse for allowing patrons to walk on floors littered with dust, cereal, tissues and overall sticky. I hope they make an effort to to better. Because if I was a local, this might keep me from coming back. And I would not consider having an event at a food establishment that wasn’t sparkly clean. Overall, I gave it five stars because it met my personal needs and given the busy weekend, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe this isn’t the norm. But the food, awesome!
