    Diverse, pleasant, comfortable atmosphere. Went for a Sunday brkfst...gotta get there early ! Waffles 🧇 and coffee ☕ were PERFECT ! Sweet butter was used, I ordered apple waffle, served with a pink syrup I'm assuming strawberry (light on the flavors=PERFECT) Hoping to make this a routine stop 😊 ALL staff were very cordial 👍🏻👍🏻 I forgot....the bacon 🥓 THE BEST !!!

    Stopped by for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Did have to wait a bit for a table, but we felt like it was worth it. We noticed that they were doing a really good job of gauging how quickly the kitchen could fill orders. They seated the dining room according to what they could handle and keep the flow of service moving. They did not simply fill every table in the place at the expense of wait time and service. Very smart. We ordered an omelet, an order of blueberry pancakes, and the Big Apple specialty, along with some sides of potatoes. Our server let us know up front that the Big Apple takes 25 minutes to prepare, which we appreciated. We asked for the rest of the food to come out when it was ready and to bring the Big Apple along when it was ready. The blueberry pancakes, omelet, side of pancakes and sides of potatoes arrived first. The pancakes were soft and had a nice flavor and texture to them. They were very light and not dense at all. The omelet was generously stuffed with breakfast meats and gouda cheese. It was very good. The highlight was definitely the Big Apple. We smelled it coming before it arrived. A Dutch baby pancake with apples and cinnamon baked into it and covering it, it was definitely a show stopper. The pancake itself was light with edge parts of it crispy. It was almost like a cross between a pancake and an elephant ear. The apples and cinnamon were generous and perfumed the whole table. All in all it was a great experience and we look forward to going back to try even more things as there were multiple items on the menu that caught our eye that we just didn't get to try this time.

    Came in from Atlanta to visit my family and we all met here for breakfast. Anytime you have people standing outside waiting you know it should be good. Well it WAS!! The pecan pancakes are THE BEST EVER!!! I'm telling you....if you are a Pancake lover, make your mouth happy & GET YOU SOME OF THESE!!!

    Super great flavor! Some of the best pancakes you'll have in town but my wife still thinks Cracker Barrel's pancakes are the best. With this place being as busy as it is, and being short-staffed you'll have to have patience because there is a way to get in.

    The food was delicious, just one thing, my eggs were cooked too hard, and I asked for light cooked eggs.

    I have loved The Big Apple and the Dutch Garden since I was a child. It usually takes some time to be seated and some of the dishes take time for them to make from scratch, but it’s well worth the wait. Unique specialty dishes make The Original Pancake House stand out. Their unique Dutch style of breakfast dishes paired with fresh high quality ingredients are something that deserved to be tried at least once.

    Girlfriend breakfast. We went in early because we knew it would be crowded later. Our server, Stephanie, was awesome. Very courteous and prompt with our meal. As the restaurant began to get crowded, she checked in on us periodically. The food was good, the proportions were ample. We were totally pleased. I'm glad to go where the parking is readily available.

    My daughter and I had a great dining experience on Mother's Day. We arrived around 2:30 PM. There was no wait, we ordered and were served very quickly. The food was outstanding and our waitress was attentive and very efficient. We loved it and will go back again!

    They were slammed when we arrived, six parties ahead of us and a full house. But we were seated within 15 minutes. Our waitress was awesome we had our drinks quickly, took our order and we had our food within 20 minutes. I was impressed. The workers were really working hard, clearing tables of empty plates as the customers finished, getting checks laid down on tables quickly and taking care of bills as cash/cards were presented. Oh by the way the food was delicious. There must be an excellent management team behind this waiting staff. Excellent JOB 👏🏾

    Dutch baby is absolute perfection. Corned beef hash was delicious too. 6/11 I got the Big German with a coffee. The Big German was amazing as always. My Dad ordered some eggs, sausage, and pancakes. Only thing he didn't finish was the sausage as it seemed old.

    Food was very good! Service was rotten wouldn’t even give a star. Seem very bothered by the fact that I wanted to order. Had to track waitress down to order. Took several minutes to get ketchup. Never got a refill on my water, menu says they have iced tea they don’t serve tea at all. Dirty ketchup bottles. Portion sizes were good. May or may not come back again.

    a little bit of a wait but went at prime time- very upbeat (except for our server who had zero personality) food was good, never had a potato pancake like it- almost diced. overall good.

  • 5/5 T B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, good atmosphere, and good prices. My server Mary was very attentive as well as the other server, Tiffany, who although wasn't my server, was still very thorough and willing to assist. The host Laura, I believe was her name, was very pleasant as well. I had a spinach and cheese omelette with bacon plus strawberry pancakes and I enjoyed it all. I will definitely return😉

    Was very busy on an early Sunday afternoon. Waitress forgot to bring my husband's orange juice after a few reminders. It was very busy so I can understand. Other than that a great breakfast spot. Friendly staff. Clean restrooms. Would recommend.

    I waited too long for my breakfast, two tables were served before me.

    Definitely wasn't impressed with the food. Ordered a western omelette with mushrooms, no cheese. Waited quite a while for my food, waitress came said they messed up the omelette. It still was wrong when I got it. Tasted like powdered eggs. The cranberry juice was good though.😐😤
