The Original Pancake House

"The servers are incredibly nice but the establishment has a major gnat infestation. If you don’t mind swatting at gnats the entire time then help yourself. I highly encourage you not to dine at this restaurant at this location. I knew once I entered the restaurant that I should have left and went elsewhere. You can tell that it is poorly cleaned and not well maintained. Also, when you enter, they inform you that there is an automatic 15% charge, not gratuity, that is automatically added to your bill as the server reported that the owners would like to use that money to donate to an apartment building that’s located across the street that recently burned down. Overall, I could not finish my food as I lost my appetite looking at all of the bugs on the mirror, and those that were continuously flying on our tables even more so once our food arrived. Thumbs down for me."

"My food was burned unfortunately. The bottom was even MORE burned on the bottom. I guess they were hoping to hide that part. I gave it 2 stars instead of one because there were some parts that weren't exceedingly burnt that didn't taste bad. But the other parts were tough to get through. This was an omelette BTW incase you couldn't tell by the pictures. Will not be going back for anymore of their 'Famous Omelettes'. Accompanying biscuit also tasted days old and looked like someone sat on it."

"I was recommended several times to eat here, so today I tried it today 11/3/23. I’m sitting at the bar as I write this review. I was told it was a great gem to get food and had a good atmosphere with friendly staff. I review restaurants all the time so let’s get into it! First I was greeted by the host he said we ain’t got no booths you gotta sit at the bar. Ok, I followed him to the bar where a gentleman was eating his Togo order.The gentleman stated he come here all the time and thought it would be packed so he got it to go and wound up eating it there. I sat around 10:15am and guess wat not a soul came till 10:35 to even assist me. Ask me Why I stayed?! I wanted to take on the whole experience. The host looked at me 3x and proceeded to talk to other guests. Marie the waitress came around to get some water for other guests and happen to see no one had helped me. She said have you been helped? I stated no one has come my way in the passed 15min almost 20 minutes as I looked at my timer. I looked around and watched guest come in be seated greeted by their waiter and food ordered. People who placed Togo orders were in and out before my order was even placed. Marie helped me the best she could. I had a timer going from the time I was seated till I left. I ordered bacon, eggs and pancakes with potatoes. When they say thick bacon they mean it and it was tough and hard to bite. My eggs and potatoes were Cold. The only thing hot was the pancakes and the butter was able to melt. The pancakes were nothing too special same as IHOP. I guess if you are going to go come with a group you are treated better. I always tip well no matter if I’m by myself or with a group they only catered to larger groups. The treatment was very poor, I was sat at a bar where the pop/ soda machines are and they don’t even work. The host stayed on his phone and didn’t even attempt to get someone to assist me. I was going to bring a larger group for a breakfast meeting to this location but I will take my business elsewhere. Be careful how you treat people! I’m leaving now it’s 11:30am I’ve been here over an hour just to get breakfast. Thanks Marie for trying to assist."

"I picked up an order of Wings to go and a Waffle. The waffle was fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, just like a Belgium waffle should be. My boyfriend was a 15-year waiter at IHOP, said they had the best Belgium waffle, but after tasting yours, he said THESE ARE THE BEST! We will see you again soon."

"Absolutely loved everything about this place. Has a very old school vibe. First time at an original pancake house. Food portion was great, service was incredible and their coffee was good unlike most other diners."
