The Original Pancake House

Entirely too damn high, 4 eggs bacon and pancakes should not be $27!

Food was ok, not the best not the worst!
Wont be back

Always good.

The service was great the waitress was very nice. The atmosphere was nice. The food is over rated I ordered a steak skillet there was 2 pieces of meat in the whole skillet. My Husband ordered an egg omelet it looked horrible like they just poured the egg mix over the vegetables it wasn't good. The coffee was very strong all in all the prices are over rated when your spending over 50.00 dollars for breakfast you want really good food. Not two pieces of steak meat on a $17.89 steak skillet and that didn't include the coffee.

The food was just okay. The service I felt could have been better and the atmosphere was okay. The workers were discussing things in front of customers that I thought they could have kept to themselves. I cannot recommend this place and I will not return. Customer service is everything to me and unfortunately, this can create losses for businesses. As far as the food, it just wasn't a wow factor for me.

Fave breakfast joint. The new decor definitely transformed the space and opened it up. You see the same staff which demonstrates consistency and likely great leadership since this area usually has high turnover.

Food hot girls nice

Hair in my pancakes

Well I'm biased. I've been coming here for 20 years with my friend Eddie. I ordered just about the same thing an andouille chicken skillet with scrambled eggs on the side, a side of bacon and wheat toast with strawberry preserves. With strawberry lemonade and water. The blueberry pancakes are delicious. Sundays are crowded but we've managed to get seated quickly. Plenty of parking. And the wait staff are nice. I haven't had a bad experience. They give decent portions. Well worth the stop.

Had a great breakfast and really appreciated the kind and efficient staff.

Staff was fine, food was way too expensive, my blueberry pancakes were the darkest i have ever seen. They were almost blue from possoble an overload of blueberry concoction in the pancake batter which may play a part in the lack of fluff. Other offerings may be better. Establishment may be pretty good.

Food is good. One of the few places around to get potato pancakes! We ordered eggs Benedict, eggs Michael ( constructed like eggs Benedict but with sausage and a mushroom sherry sauce instead of hollandaise) has always been a favorite because you can’t get it anywhere else around us. Also ordered biscuits and gravy and a skillet. Everything was good. A few changes and I would have given 5 stars. Let’s start with the biscuits and gravy.. the gravy was creamy with ground sausage.. with a slight peppery punch… but the biscuits were hard as a rock and had they not been covered in gravy we couldn’t have even eaten them… they were also not hot enough… if i had to guess from my experience in a kitchen the biscuits are premade or frozen and they defrost/ reheat as necessary to save on waste/cost but when you do this they turn hard as a rock… nope 👎🏻 a biscuit should be fresh and moist and tender… not taste like a hard scone!!! It was $14 just for 2 stale biscuits smothered in cold gravy.. sad because it has the potential to be delicious. The Benedicts were very tasty but also lacking in sauce. I like sauce on every bite… the potato pancakes were delicious and we will definitely return for those. Overall food was very good considering they were swamped. Our server was sweet and attentive. … and with just a few tweaks easily a 5 star meal. If you’re looking for atmosphere, you won’t get that here. They remodeled to cram as many people into the space as possible… so it’s 4 white walls with a bunch of tight squeeze tables / booths… I’ve seen hospital cafeterias with a more welcoming vibe than this… bit clearly it doesn’t hurt their business because it is always packed.

Ms Serita Mac announced she had been in food service for over 30 years. 30 years too long. Rude, not professional. After years of dining here, we won't be back!! Cold food and rude?? No way!!

Ordered a Dutch baby that came out not completely done and was the size of something that should have been on the kids menu! The manager didn’t take the time to speak with me as I requested so I left. And the young lady that is at the front ringing out the checks is rude. I will pass this location and go to Orland from now on.
