The pancakes were bad. They had a sour smell and taste. Even when made a second time had the same smell and taste. When the food first came we couldn't find out where this sour smell came from.

Update, my stomach hurts and I threw up

I really enjoyed the food at the Original Pancake House. The bacon is thick and crispy. The French toast was delicious too. The pancakes were just alright. I honestly prefer the pancakes from the other pancake house. Overall though, the food was delicious and I would definitely go back for breakfast.

If you're in the area and want a fantastic breakfast, check out the original pancake house. Fair warning it gets busy so wait times can be long and parking can be an issue, especially if you drive long or wide vehicles.
With regards to the food, it's amazing and worth the visit. It's definitely a great alternative to major breakfast chain options.

Came in around 10 without a reservation and was told to self seat. Our server came not too long after. We had ordered the ham and cheese omelette and lemon crepes (I asked for strawberries on top). The food came at an appropriate time and it was delicious. The crepes were on the sweeter side and the omelette was a bit fluffy. The portions are generous. Service was nice but nothing to rave over. Overall a nice spot for breakfast.

This is the best breakfast spot there is. Omelets are spectacular. Service is great. Place is always busy. Not all the "Original" houses are alike, this location rules.

Primo stuff. I've never had a bad meal from TOPH, the portions are generous, the prices are quite reasonable, and the staff make me feel welcomed without being smothering.

Food was good, prices weren’t horrible, service not very good. Got my order wrong and when I told the man he gave me part of what I ordered but still charged me for two meals. Used to come here often, sad to see a decline. Place gives hotel vibes and its best days behind it. Lots of parking was nice.

I thought this was a tiny spot judging from the outside but boy was I wrong. The food here is delicious. The portions of the waffles is amazing, let’s not mention the omelette both delicious. The service is good considering how full this establishment was. We enjoyed our time here.

I bought the coffee because I thought I should give them something back since I was using their bathroom. I walked in and asked the young lady cashier, if I could buy a coffee to go. The young lady was very courteous. I didn't like paying almost 5 dollars for a normal cup of coffee but, hey, inflation, persons in this County make the amount of money that puts them in the top 20 counties in the country for per capita income. Anyway, she was very courteous and respectful with a sincere smile, the coffee was good, and the bathroom was clean; I'll be back for the food, because the place is full, which may mean the food is excellent.
