The Original Pancake Kitchen

GF items are marked on the menu and the kitchen shows some awareness — hash browns are withheld due to cross-contamination risk, and multiple coeliac and gluten-intolerant diners report no adverse reactions across recent visits. However, the venue explicitly is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, has no dedicated fryer (community-flagged), and the menu's own language states all products may contain allergens. Structural cross-contamination risk from shared prep is present and acknowledged.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Honest caveat: One coeliac diner documented food cross-contaminated table-side by a waiter who then resisted replacing the dish, corroborated by a separate symptomatic-coeliac reviewer's tip that the menu itself disclaims all products may contain allergens despite GF labelling.
