The Original Pancake House

An old favourite. If you’re looking for a great morning after date breakfast or brunch, this is the place. While the prices are a little high, the portions and quality are worth it. Everything is perfect. The apple pancakes and Swedish pancakes are the stuff of legend.
But it IS a food coma waiting to happen.

#awesomeness everytime I go here they are beyond the call of duty they always make sure your happy and make your stay very enjoyable. They are always professional and I enjoy everytime I come here which is 5 or 10 times per visit twice a year. .can’t wait til tomorrow

Delicious blueberry crepes and Dutch fruit bowls. This is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants. Great waitstaff also!

I absolutely love the food at this Beverly location, however we have missed several SAFE SERVING And HANDLING PROCEDURES. Today my pancakes arrived to my table with my servers Thumb and nail print in my pancakes. She did ask if I wanted them remade, however my issue is this is very unsanitary and not appealing to the visual or mental Palette. Another discrepancy that is a major issue is the staff uses the washrooms with their Aprons on. This has been a constant complaint of mine to the staff between the fingers always in our plates and the aprons on in the washroom. I hope that the staff become better trained in Food Service and Sanitation requirements. This will possibly lead to someone getting an illness from cross contamination. Please Look into this matter. It has gone unnoticed and unresolved for too long.

Would give it 4 and a half stars honestly… Been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Great food, fresh ingredients, close to home, good service. Only real gripe is the wait. They stay pretty crowded and for good reason, but they do a good job getting people in and out.

I had a long day ahead of me as I had my brought my car in for repairs early morning on 7÷23÷15. I was hungry along with wanting to get some exercise in on what was going to be a hot day. So I walked a mile to this establishment. I had been here before but felt like my experience was totally different because I sat in a totally different section which was nice and quiet along with being dimly lit and decided to be adventurous by trying a different item than I usually get when I go to this restaurant. I decided that based off the menu description of the peach crepes, it sounded like something that may be refreshing and good and it was! Fresh warm peach compote and the crepes were filled with peach pieces. I really really enjoyed them. The chicken sausage is always my favorite and if it doesn’t sound like something you’d enjoy, think again! Wonderful flavor, I love ‘em! What I really enjoyed is that I stayed in that establishment for hours, using my computer and reading my paper to just enjoy my time there while waiting on my car to be finished. My waitress was fine but I think she got off work while I was still there and I still got great service by another waitress waiting on patrons in my seating area. No one rushed me out, to which I appreciated. Thank you Original Pancake House, I appreciate your good service!

I’m so sad. This was my favorite breakfast place for years. YEARS. Keyword: was. The experience I had recently just solidified my decision to move on to other breakfast places.
Service has always been slow. Waiting at this place is inevitable. But the last time I was there, the waiting times were obscene. I’m not talking about waiting for a table either (actually the breakfast house was half empty and people were still waiting for tables, probably because the restaurant is understaffed, but that’s a whole other issue). Waiting to order, waiting for food, waiting for condiments, waiting for the bill. See a theme? For breakfast we were probably there for well over an hour (after grabbing a table).
The waitress that we had has worked there for years. Honestly, I think she’s just given up on the place. She was nonexistent pretty much the whole time we were there. Tracking down employees= not fun. The food this time was so overly greasy-​it was pretty gross. I feel like I ate it just based on previous allegiances. Paying the bill took forever-​even the cashier looked panic (someone was breathing down her neck for a take out order placed 30 minutes earlier that they couldn’t find). Sigh.
For the price of everything, you would expect things to come out much, much better. If you know me, you know how hard it is for me to write a review like this. It almost feels like a food betrayal. Unfortunately, I think the time has come to move on.

Amazing breakfast after partying in Chicago for the Dead shows, whew I needed that. I ordered the eggs Benedict which was flavorful and used quality wholesome products. The dish was served with potato pancakes, MMMMM! The best part about the meal was the fresh squeezed orange juice. It was pricey, for 5 of us we spent $ 100, but I will stop on my way to Chicago every time. A little ways off the road but totally worth it. Lastly, our service was incredible. Thank you!

I went to this location on a Monday, around 11:15 am, I was seated and waited and waited for a waitress to come and take my order. I observed that 4 other tables that were seated after me were served before me, and one of the tables had finished their meal and left the restaurant by the time my food arrived. The service I received was slow and sloppy. The food was OK and hot, but one of the ingredients in my omelet was omitted. I will not patronize this business again, they are just too disorganized and slow!

CHECK HOURS ONLINE! DIFFERENT FROM WHAT’S POSTED ON THE DOOR. I no longer count the years I’ve been coming here. We love, love, the food! I typically stick to my normal meal, a 2×4 with pecans, strawberries and whipped cream. Mmmm. The service is good, except today when the waitress gave me the receipt and said there is no rush. About 10 minutes later, the cashier comes to ask for our money because she wanted to close out her register. According to my time, they weren’t supposed to close for another 35 minutes, and that is extremely rude. Like I said before, LOVE, LOVE THE FOOD!

Omg! The Dutch Fruit bowl is amazing! I am also addicted to the French toast and the thick cut BACON!!!

The food and service was nice. I had the Pecan Waffle very tasty! The place was not crowded and we were seated very quickly!

Yesterday I had a savory omelette, The Santa Fe. Everything was so fresh tasting. As an additional pleasant surprise the omelette came with a serving of the best salsa sauce I ever had. I learned from The waitress that the salsa is made fresh in house, like everything else. I wish I could have bought a container Togo. I also ordered their bacon, which is simply out of this world, had the lightest buttermilk pancakes, which come with the meal. And if you have not had it, be sure to have a glass of their fresh squeezed OJ, it’s AWESOME! The ambiance was great, I really felt at home in their family friendly surroundings.

Awesome Food — Awesome Service — What’s not to LOVE about this place!
My daughter loves the chocolate chip waffles, says they are the BEST.
I cannot get enough of the bacon! If you love bacon you will not be disappointed.
The staff is always super friendly and very attentive.
Looking forward to another trip there this weekend!

For the past 30-​years, The Original Pancake House has been a «must stop» spot for our family when going to brunch in Beverly. The service is always prompt and the waitstaff is very friendly. The coffee is outstanding, and though we all like different menu options, everyone leaves happy.

I don’t know I’m just sitting down and they seated me pretty quick the issue I’m having is that everything seems to be extra. I basically ordered an omelette, hashbrowns and a side of sausage and I think this is going to be over $ 20 and it’s just me no telling also about the serving portions.

They really should offer meals that include the waffles! Not every one eats pancakes! They won’t even let you substitute them in place of the pancakes! Should have driven a few miles over to ihop! At least they are a bit more flexible with your preferences. I am giving 2 stars because the hot chocolate was great!

As soon as we walked in I knew it would be trash… the carpet was soaked in filth and there were 3 women gossiping at the front counter… of course no one said hello. So we sit down and see a waiter come back and forth to the table next to us. Ignores us in the process. Cool. So we decide to leave cus we didn’t get any water or attention. Empty, atrocious restaurant with lazy gossiping employees. Good luck surviving as a business…

I was hoping for more after seeing 4 stars on Unilocal.The waitress was very nice, good service. Food though — MEH. I had the eggs benedict… and it was very very average… and the sauce was really kind of — thick and well, not that great. I think our party’s overall experience with food quality was ‘disappointed’.

You cannot go wrong with any breakfast item here. Our absolute favorite spot on the south side. Everyone is so welcoming, it feels like your family inviting you in for a weekend brunch.
Get: strawberry pancakes with a hot coffee and side of bacon. Their bacon game is on point — crispy and always perfect.
Good to know: bathrooms do not have changing tables and you will wait on Saturday and Sunday mornings, though they are prompt at turning tables around.
Overall: amazing breakfast for amazing prices. Fresh ingredients, killer coffee. A must try.
