About Original Pancake House

The Original Pancake House is a welcoming restaurant that offers delicious breakfast dishes and friendly service. The apple pancake, which takes 25 minutes to prepare, is well worth the wait. It features sugar caramelized apples that are thinly sliced, with a crunchy outside and warm inside. Customers can enjoy endless coffee with their meal, making for a satisfying breakfast experience. The French toast is highly praised, and although the fresh orange juice may not be very big, it adds to the enjoyable meal. The staff are very nice, attentive, and helpful, often going the extra mile, such as offering to clean a baby’s plate. Customers can find very generous portions at a fair price, though there might be a wait during busy times. The atmosphere is charming, decorated with vintage items that add to the cozy feel. Beyond the traditional menu, there’s the option to order a Steak Omelette even if it’s not on the menu. Breakfast highlights include strawberry waffle and crispy bacon, with coffee cups kept full for a pleasant visit. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for breakfast that lives up to childhood memories, perfect for sharing with friends or family.

Went on 4th of July. The wait we expected but the food was terrible, not what I ordered, eggs was not as ordered and toast was as hard as crouton with no butter. Staffs children was running around and getting yelled at by their parents. Told our waitress about my order and she laughed and said “ well that’s what happens when you let men in the kitchen “ . Our bill was 40$,!!!! Needless to say will not be going back. We are residents here so very dissatisfied and disappointed.

we were sat and given menus and then almost a half an hour later nobody had even taken our drink order yet meanwhile the table right next to us had a man sat, a server came up and hugged him and got his drink right away. guess you have to be a regular to be served....

My daughter and I love the breakfast here! Our waitress, Chris, did a great job today!! Super friendly and fast service!
