Breakfast food is my favorite kind of food. And OPH is my favorite breakfast type place. I love everything I get here from the loaded avocado toast to omelets, to pancakes to French toast, The OJ the coffee and the iced tea. It can get busy so you should sign up online for the wait list, but it's definitely worth the wait.
The atmosphere is a very nice clean, very well run diner; ; I actually prefer to sit on the patio if the weather is nice.

Amazing, delicious, and worth the drive. This place is bomb... The pancakes are amazing and the omelets are great too! Beware of the portion size though - if you leave hungry, it's your fault! Lol

Best pancakes and breakfast ever! I’ve heard so many good things about this place, and they were all true.
First, the food was exceptionally good. We had an omelette with spinach and Swiss cheese that was huge, more than enough for two people. The filling was abundant and the cheese was amazing. We accompanied our omelette with the fluffiest pancakes you can ever imagine; they were just the right size, but extremely good and spongy. Just perfect.
On top of that, the service was the best. I’d like to give a special mention to Matthew, who was always checking on us and ensuring we had the best possible experience. Thanks to Matthew!!
I highly recommend this place and its fluffy pancakes!

My parents have been taking me here for years, whenever I come to town for a visit (I lived in Poway 10 yrs ago). I've noticed the last two times the food had NOT been as good. Quality of the food has definitely gone downhill, so sad. Unfortunately we won't be back.

Absolutely loved this restaurant! I tried the diced ham and cheese omelet and the crab cake Benedict. Both were very delicious, as well as their coffee.

I think that the OPH has gone downhill over the years. They have lots of variety but the quality isn't there anymore. Soggy potato pancakes, tepid eggs etc. The coffee is still good though.
