The Original Pancake House

The Original Pancake House in Redondo Beach is one of our absolute favorite breakfast and brunch spots. This place is pure heaven, especially for my 7-year-old son, whose love for pancakes knows no bounds – he'd probably eat them for every meal if he could! Thankfully, their children's menu wisely includes a half order of his beloved chocolate chip pancakes, which makes him one happy camper.

And speaking of pancakes, the name doesn't lie – their selection is incredible! I've counted about 20 different kinds, which means there's always something new and delicious to try. While my son is a predictable fan of anything chocolate, I love upgrading my usual order to one of their signature pancakes. My personal favorites are the coconut pancakes, the vibrant fresh strawberry pancakes, and for a savory twist, the bacon pancakes.

Beyond the glorious pancakes, their omelets are equally fantastic. You really can't go wrong with either the classic ham or bacon omelet. If you're leaning a bit healthier, their fresh vegetarian or mushroom omelets are also delicious and satisfying choices.

My wife, for her part, has been completely hooked on their homemade corned beef hash during our last couple of visits. It's a rich blend of corned beef, potatoes, onions, and heavy cream, perfectly topped with two eggs cooked any style. And the best part? It comes with four of their famous potato pancakes, served with a choice of applesauce or sour cream. It's truly a hearty and flavorful dish. Just FYI, she never finishes it and usually eats about half and saves the other half for another meal.

One of my favorite things about The Original Pancake House is their attentive staff. They seem to make it their mission to top off your water or coffee before you even have to think about it. I absolutely love places that do that – no awkward waving down a server just to get a refill!

Now, if you're feeling adventurous or just want something extra special, you absolutely must try their Dutch Baby. This oven-baked pancake is served with whipped butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a dusting of powdered sugar. It's big enough to share, light, airy, and utterly delicious. Seriously, try it at least once – you won't regret it!

The food is consistently fantastic, the atmosphere is cozy, and it's simply a joy to start our day here. This place is a solid 5 out of 5 stars for us!

Place is gas. My boy Odysseus was hitting me up bout this place and I was like aight lemme try it and man when i say you gon be shocked you gon be shocked

I thought the food was good but I would have like for there to be more combination plates on the menu. The seating is very tight and the noise level pretty loud with a full house. Overall though a good breakfast option.

Huge omelettes! Really good service. Love coming here.

Sooooo good
Just made my stomach happy

Server was nice, food was good but the host was not nice.

Takes good

Awsome breakfast, plenty to choose from and the biggest omelets I've experienced!

I am in love with their corned beef hash dish.

Western omelette with Jack cheese and a side of bacon. Enough to feed two. Wait the cheese is lava let it cool down... Trust me.

delicious pancakes

This place is perfect. Hits the spot every time. The omelets are almost better than the Pancakes, everything is great.

Expensive for pancakes

The original pancake house is a delicious meal in any state, I have visited multiple in Florida, one in New Jersey and this one. The food is fresh, hot and very tasty
