The original pancake house is always a special treat. Apple fritter is out of this world. Had the pumpkin pancakes this visit... Amazing. Thank you. I love this place

Overall, this is a great place to have a robust breakfast. Be aware that several of the meals take a while to prepare, even the oven-baked omelettes. But, the wait is worth it! The only downsides for me were that my water (my drink of choice) had food floating in it, and that there was an exhausted waitress complaining loudly to the greeter about how they were seating patrons. I’m sure these were anomalies (I haven’t had the chance to return to confirm if these are typical or just one-offs), so we should just assume it was just busy and that my two negative experiences weren’t the norm. The food was delicious and the portions were big, definitely worth the price. I would return if I was in the area again.

Best oatmeal in this restaurant. Not all OPH have the same oatmeal. This place makes my #1 spot.

Probably my favorite place to eat breakfast at. The buckwheat pancakes are the best. That's my favorite.

We had a OHoP in Michigan when we lived there and it is great, food wait staff and atmosphere is fantastic.
But here, it was a different story. Sorry to say that three of us each got something different and each one of us was disappointed. It sure didn't meet the hype that is put out for this location. Maybe others in Ohio could be better. Find a better breakfast restaurant! For specifics: the french toast was okay, the sausage patties were very well done. The potato pancakes well, you can get better at Perkins, the bacon was very well done, almost as tough as jerky. The apple waffle was okay, the ham was marginal. The coffee seemed good. The price? Way too expensive!! The wait staff, didn't try to earn a tip.

Seated by the kitchen. It was very loud. Food was expensive $7.99 for a side of bacon! It was thick bacon but was very dry. It was almost like eating jerky! Total cost for 2 of us to eat breakfast was $50. Pancakes were also dry and had no taste! I have no desire to eat there again! Overpriced dry food.

Welp. Was gonna try them for the very first time and as soon as I get to the door (long before closing) the manager is turning people away saying their not seating anyone else for the day.

Easily our weekly breakfast spot. The food is always hot, delicious, and fresh. We always ask to be seated in Kaylea’s section because she is honestly the best. Our food is never wrong, and she always makes sure our drinks are filled and we’re taken care of. Next time you think of coming to the pancake house, ask for her section. You won’t be disappointed.

The Original Pancake House is the best. We started going after the Golden Nugget closed and it's pretty comparable (if I'm being totally honest, I probably like it better). The portions are huge, the food is delicious, & the Kona coffee (served with heavy cream) is a great cup of coffee. I almost knocked off a star for atmosphere, only because it gets pretty loud, but that didn't seem fair. I can't penalize them for being group friendly.

Great Kona coffee. Forget starbucks, Tim Hortons, Ghostlight cheaper and better coffee. If you are a meat and pots for every meal not the place for you. If you want waffles/frenchtoast/pancakes and eggs this is the place.

Great place with some great food. Came in from out of town to see my sister, decided to come here for breakfast and wasnt disappointed. Ended up getting the western omelet and it was huge. Made with 6 eggs. Plenty of ham, cheese, onions and peppers. The bread they use for toast is really good too. Others at the table had pancakes and waffle. Delicious.

Very over priced and my ticket said one price and when I got to the front desk to pay they tried to slap on an extra 15 dollars to my order
