    Oh my goodness! I travel allot and I have to say this is the best pancakes I ever had in my life! Silver Dollar Pancake. The service provided by Jennifer was outstanding.

    Busy but got a table right away. Liane was my server and she came right away and took my beverage order. Hot Chocolate was good and their famous Apple Pancakes were excellent. Will come back again.

    I thought the food was good. The prices are so so. You’re paying $13 per entree but they don’t come with sides. Hash browns are $5 and they are extremely unseasoned. The service was excellent though. It’s worth a try but I don’t think I’ll be going regularly.

    I did a online order pickup when I arrived there was a 5-10 wait only for my food to be cold. On top of that there was seasoning seal inside one of my pancakes! 7.95$ for portion Hash browns that were way to salty! This was definitely one of the worst experiences I’ve had!

    My husband and I came here for brunch to try the pancakes and eggs Benedict. While the service was amazing and we didn’t have to wait for a seat the food was somewhat disappointing considering we shared plates and out total was close to $60. I would suggest the eggs Benedict be adapted to prevent the English muffin from being soggy. It was unpleasant biting into a wet muffin, but we will be back for the pancakes.

    The service and the server were amazing. I loved the fresh orange juice that’s available here and the pancakes are spot on.

    I had a delightful experience at the Original Pancake House during my recent visit with my wife and mother-in-law. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and excellent service. The cozy ambiance made us feel right at home. The menu offered a wide variety of delicious pancake options, and we couldn't resist trying a few different ones. Each pancake was cooked to perfection, fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the edges. The classic buttermilk pancakes were a favorite, but the specialty pancakes were a true treat. The pumpkin pancake, in particular, was a sweet and savory delight that we couldn't get enough of. Not only were the pancakes outstanding, but my mother in law said the coffee was also top-notch, keeping her happily caffeinated throughout our meal. The portions were generous, and we left feeling completely satisfied. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. They even accommodated my mother-in-law's dietary preferences with a smile. Overall, our visit to the Original Pancake House was a memorable one. It's the perfect spot for a cozy breakfast or brunch with loved ones. We left with full hearts and full bellies, and I can't wait to return for another delightful meal.

    We ate here with our family the day after our wedding. Our table took a little longer than anticipated, but for a large party, you have to expect that! The food was delicious, and I will definitely come back again on our next trip to Ohio.

    I visited with two relatives. Everyone enjoyed their food! I ordered the Chorizo Omelette which comes with 3 pancakes. I upgraded my pancakes by adding bananas and peanut butter. In addition to the food, the customer service was great!

    Our little family loves going here. My fiance loves their seasonal apple waffle!! Not picture is their thick cut bacon, which our son loves!! Portions are huge and shareable. You will not leave hungry.

    Wow what can I say, it was more expensive then normal breakfast places in the area but its worth it the food is amazing. The restaurant was clean and staff was friendly you could also tell the food was made to order.

    Came in near the end of their hours, maybe 1:45 (open 7-2:30). Quick service, very tasty, loved the waffle and side of hash browns the most. My daughter got the hugest omelet I have seen, made me envious, but it had mushroom, so can't vouch for how it tasted.

    Good food good service good atmosphere. Pancakes are thick as well as the toast. Omelette was huge. And delicious.

    We arrived at 8:30 on Saturday morning. There was no wait, but it filled up quickly at 9:00. We ordered the cinnamon waffles (this is a seasonal offering) with bacon and scrambled eggs. The waffles were light and fluffy. The bacon was crispy and the eggs were well cooked. Coffee was good and served in hand crafted ceramic mugs. Our server was attentive and helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed and clean. Even the bathrooms were pleasant. A great experience. Will definitely go back.

    Typical OPH. Nice area. Have outdoors seating which is a big plus. Was not too busy and we got the table immediately.

    The pancakes deliver a tastful and unique flavor. It is one of the best places in town for breakfast. The staff is always friendly and informative. The fresh squeezed OJ while a little pricey it's worth it. The food here will definitely have you feeling stuffed for the rest of the day. Especially considering most of the items on the menu are over 1000 calories 😅

  • 5/5 Dave M. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was great. I had the corn beef hash side and a fruit bowl. BEST fruit bowl I've ever had at a restraunt, very fresh! Also REAL fresh squeezed orange juice! Just wish the price was a little lower. Great and friendly staff as well.

    Dear Pancake House, I've always loved you and will continue to do so but what I will no longer do is pay 2.25 for half a slice of pepper jack cheese... eggs were perfection. CORN BEEF HASH was delicious as always.

  • 5/5 Emiliano P. 11 months ago on Google
    My family and I came to this location for the first time today! We were actually celebrating my mother-in-law‘s birthday and we’re in the mood for some pancakes. Rachel was our server and she was exceptional. She was very attentive, and she explained everything in great detail. It will definitely come back and ask for her

  • 4/5 Ian Anthony J. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice location. Very very generous servings (more than half your day of calories lol). Worth a try if you're in the area before watching some movies at the nearby Lenox center.

  • 5/5 Dan H. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a great place for breakfast/brunch. They're busy but they're friendly, efficient and worth the wait. Never had an even mediocre meal there. Their commitment to excellence is on the wall and they live up to it. You have to try it. Even their gluten free options are outstanding [not every place does that well, sadly].

  • 5/5 J M. 7 months ago on Google
    Staffing and collaboration on service was noticeable! Ensured people getting seated quickly at clean tables. Food was great, especially pumpkin pancakes. The best I've had. Kept coffee filled, asked if we wanted to go. Thanks, Alexa for coming to the table to hear the good things we wanted to relay. Thanks, Jeff. Keep up the good work. It is nice to have excellent service again.

    Awesome experience and food. Dutch baby dish was delicious.Wi-Fi was there BUT not suitable for working from cafe because there were no charging outlets. Great place for breakfast.

  • 5/5 Sarah Chinn J. 9 months ago on Google
    This was my first time there. It’s a nice atmosphere, but they crowded us in an area with too many people and we constantly had to scoot over to let people pass. The prices were on the higher side, but it all made sense when the food came out. They do not skimp on the servings! I had a whole other meal from it. They were very attentive to our needs and we never lacked coffee. I don’t like the little pods of creamer, so they do have real, cold half and half of you ask. I got the corned beef omelette and they had gluten-free pancakes as an option, so I was thrilled! I cannot wait to try more items!

  • 5/5 Jena N. 11 months ago on Google
    A little more on the expensive side for breakfast but worth every penny. The portions are huge. The coffee is delicious. The syrup decantur is served in a bowl of hot water so it comes out warm. Highly recommend their fresh salsa for the eggs! Zero complaints.

    Had an amazing first visit. Our server Rebecca Lynn was great. She made the visit fantastic. Would recommend this place every time.

    I went there for breakfast on a Saturday morning and it was such an awesome experience. It was slammed, but we had no wait at all because of how efficient they were. Our waitress, Liane, was so kind and helpful. She explained the menu very well and gave great suggestions! The food came out fast and super tasty. You could feel the love at this place. I will definitely be returning!
