The Original Pancake House is a reference great breakfast. Fast service that has an excellent variety of pancake dishes. My fav's, the Flapjack 49'ers, thin and delicious, Cherry Kiafa crepes, and of course the Dutch Baby.

If I had to find fault, it would be their overly fluffy omelets, and mediocre potato pancakes. But still, this place is great. Go.

Award Nomination: Best Service

Great place to eat. Their omelets are baked and taste great! They have great hash browns... made with onions.

Expect to pay a little more, if you get a breakfast that includes coffee, an omelet and hash browns, but well worth it!

Large portions, tasty treats. Their foods are almost like dessert before noon.

I can't resist 4 x 4 stack of pancakes lavished real whipped butter w/poached eggs done precisely correctly w/FRESH SQUEEZED OJ, fresh 100% cream for coffee, floats on coffee like clouds (they even have honey to put into coffee!), plenty of food, others enjoy German/Apple Pancakes, other pancake specialialties. I smoke, they do not.

Award Nomination: Best Breakfast Ever
