The Original Pancake House is a popular breakfast destination known for its delicious menu items, including the signature German pancake. This restaurant also offers a great American breakfast diner experience, with highlights like the heavenly corn beef hash, which is ground fresh daily. Despite occasional wait times and a few complaints about overcooked eggs and slow service, the restaurant's long-standing reputation and consistent quality keep customers returning, even those who no longer live in the area. The staff is super friendly and helpful, with attentive servers who have thorough knowledge of the menu. The restaurant uses real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality ingredients, resulting in exceptional omelets and German or Dutch baby pancakes. Customers praise the fantastic service, with the manager ensuring all customers are well taken care of. While prices have gone up dramatically over the years, the thick, crispy, and tasty bacon, along with satisfying pancakes, make for a good overall breakfast experience.
