The Original Pancake House was suggested to us--no, actually it was complimented by those who suggested it. But it did not meet our expectations. It was a pretty good breakfast, but the service was only average and the food was average. It was just okay.

Have enjoyed this place several times, and it has become our favorite stop when in the area. The pancakes are truly special. The menu selection is great. We've always had very good service, but better arrive early if you don't want to wait in line.

This place is always packed! I wish it was open all day long. This breakfast restaurant has cute decor and no matter what I get, I love it. Great Spinach/Feta omelette. AWesome crepes. They have everything on the menu from the expected to the creative. Good for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. IF you are a chocolate chip pancake lover--woah! you have to come here and try them. Also, the hot cocoa is devine! Although the emphasis isn't on creating healthy items--you can find them. There is oatmeal, fresh fruit, create your own omlette, etc. They are good about accomodating specific orders.

Everything about this place is not good. Grounds in the coffee, not even a section for smokers, food cold, service lously, long waits for everything.

Some of the best pancakes and french toast around. Their specialty is the "dutch baby",an oven-baked pancaked filled with apples and cinnamon, and dusted with powedered sugar. Big enough for two, though you won't want to share. The blueberry pancakes are full of blueberries, and served with maple, and fresh made blueberry, syrup. The Almond Cinnamon French Toast is unbelievable. Thick sourdough bread, lots of almonds, and a fantastic dusting of cinnamon-sugar. Get there before 9AM to beat the wait. One of Cincinnati's best. As an added bonus, it is a non-smoking restaurant.

Award Nomination: Best Breakfast Ever
