Everything here was great! Breakfast was good. You can't go wrong with traditional breakfast foods and they did them well.
The service was fantastic! They really have high end attitudes towards service and appearance. No blue jeans and tshirts here. Brian was great and took good care of us! It's a bit noisy, but that's to be expected in a popular diner.
I recommend everyone try the Dutch Baby if you haven't. It's a unique breakfast food you can't get many (or any?) other places.

Had a great experience at The Original Pancake House! The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and our waiter Josh did a fantastic job taking care of us.
One of my favorite parts was the waitlist thing online. It made the process so much easier and allowed us to avoid standing in line all morning. After visiting, I can definitely see why there’s always a line out the door. Great food, great service, and a well-run operation. We’ll definitely be back!

On a busy Saturday morning you expect a long wait, especially if the place is good. So when we were told 25-45 minute wait for brunch at 10:30am, it was actually better than expected! We were actually sat at our table after about 30 minutes…table for 3. Brian was our server and he was a joy to have - very happy, friendly and he knew the menu!! When you ask for items to be adjusted to your liking, sometimes we get kickback or “let me check on that” but Brian was confident that what we wanted, we would get! And we did!! Our food took a little longer than we hoped but it was hot and delicious…I mean when you go to the ORIGINAL House of Pancakes….you expect the best pancakes and they did not disappoint! They were melt in your mouth tasty!!
Honestly, there wasn’t anything we ordered that we didn’t LOVE! OHOP is always a favorite!

Wow, that was a truly pleasant experience! The customer service at The Original Pancake House was excellent—especially from the manager, Katie, who was incredibly attentive; she stopped by our table to ensure everything was going well and to ask if we needed anything else. Both the service and the food were delicious. It felt wonderful to feel so welcomed there—I definitely recommend this place! The drinks were super tasty, and the breakfast was spectacular—it was so perfect that it didn't need a single thing added to it. Oh, and the pancake syrup was amazing—my son absolutely loves that syrup! Thank you, Miss Katie; I will definitely be back with my whole family. 💞 Or server was Emily, you can ask for her or Miss Katie bought are really friendly and good on customer service.

I had a good experience overall. The food was solid—some things stood out more than others. The fruit was really fresh and probably my favorite part, and I also enjoyed the chicken sausage (I just wish it had a little spice to it). The eggs were good, but the portion felt a bit small.
Service was great—Christine was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was taken care of, even though the food took a little longer to come out (which wasn’t her fault).
The atmosphere is nice and relaxed—definitely a good alternative to IHOP if you’re looking for something a little different.
Overall, a good spot. I’d come back and try something else on the menu next time.
