There may be a wait early, but we usually go on the late side for breakfast/brunch and the food is great!

Three of the four dishes we tried were great, the fourth not so much - it looked more like a puff pastry than an omelette, and was rejected. Service by JoAnn was very pleasant and prompt. Long line to get in, and noisy inside. So reasonable place, just not spectacular…

First time here and we got there an hour and a half before they closed and they did not rush us to finish and get out. There were 7 of us. Our waitress was great, but I can't remember her name🙄. I had the bacon pancakes and they were heavenly. No one was disappointed in their food and service was great. I'll definitely be going back.

The food is first rate. I had the corned beef hash and added cheesy scrambled eggs, and it was perfect. The pancakes that came with it were also top notch. The service was very slow, but we were there to catch up, so the time was well spent.

Can’t say enough positive things about The Original Pancake House. Service is always great and so is the food! We ordered a Big Apple for the table as our after-breakfast dessert. Amazing!!

If you're trying to become obese, you should go here!

The portions are OUT OF CONTROL! I ordered a crepe and the plate arrived with TWO overstuffed, log shaped crepes! And they were clearly made with some kind of industrial batter rather than real crepe batter, with a soft and stretchy texture designed to hold contents in the shape of a log. Very disappointing.

My friend had pancakes, a single order of which would feed a family! 🤦🏼‍♂️

All around us plates piled like mountains were being gobbled down. I'm an American, but this was simply embarrassing.

But.... Our waitress was amazing! She was friendly, cheerful, funny and quite attentive. The atmosphere is excellent: it was bright, comfortable and not loud, even though the place was completely packed!

So.... go here for the ambiance, the staff, and be prepared to order lightly and share dishes rather than ordering individually. (And don't expect the crepes to be authentic at all!)
