Original Pancake House

I was visiting the area and decided to have breakfast here. Original Pancake House is usually very good around the country and this location is no different. Parking was easy and the restaurant is clean and large. There is a patio too. The menu is basically the same as other Pancake House locations. I enjoyed the food and the service was great. I’d recommend if you like this type of diner food backed by the consistency of this chain.

49er Flapjacks are delicious, as are the chocolate chip and banana pancakes!

I can't believe I've never rated this place. Somehow they've managed to stay as consistent--and make pancakes taste just the same--as they were almost two decades ago. Really remarkable. If I lived in the area I'd come here more often.

Beloved chain in San Diego. Each spot I have been to delivers a consistently good product. The food here is less about eye candy and more about substance.

Whoever heard of a western omelet with no cheese. Please reconsider how you make this omelet.

Hadn't been in many, many years, and I was very excited to share a place from my childhood with my kiddos. We went early before school and they enjoyed it so much! We will be back now that we are locals again!

This Place is amazing! If you're trying to find a breakfast spot, this is where to eat! The food is yummy and the service was delightful.

Depending on the time and day you go, you may get an A+ team or a D- team. If you go during peak hours, you may not receive part of your order as well. Having said that, the food is consistently good, and the staff works hard, it is always clean, and, if reminded, the staff will quickly correct any issue. So give them a chance if you're not lacking in patience.

By far the worst manager so rude and disrespectful and extremely unhelpful I believer her name was Kathryn at the Encinitas store we called in an order to go and asked a few more people to meet us there we would have tripled our bill easily she refused to seat us because we also had a to go order which we were also going to buy. We go there weekly and spend tons of money there . If I were the owner I would fire her immediately if I want return customers to keep coming and bringing there families especially near the holidays . We will never spend our money there again . Super unfortunate and will be contacting the owner Mike

1st time here , and it was great !

It was 2006 when I first found the Original Pancake House in Encinitas! What a find and great menu! I immediately fell in love with the Dutch Baby German pancake, the 49er pancakes and the delicious bacon to name a few! What was more impressive was the service I received from MARGARITA!! Attentive, always smiling with a great attitude! Watching her take care of her customers it was clear that they enjoyed her service! Many requested her section when they arrived! So if you want a great and delicious breakfast with wonderful.service..it's the Original Pancake House in Encinitas and request MARGARITA!! You will have a truly enjoyable experience!!
