The Original Pancake House in Columbia is fantastic! The breakfast was tasty and delicious. Best eggs and grits. Very large menu with tons of options. Sandy our server was very friendly and helpful. Southern charm and service at its best. Hard to find a better breakfast spot... A+

The staff are very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The atmosphere has a very homey and family-friendly vibe. The food is well priced as well. If you’re looking for a place for breakfast or brunch, I highly recommend this spot!
