Original Pancake House

Friendly attentive waitress; average food. If your looking for something special, it’s not here. If your looking for something average with average prices… this is the spot for you

I would love to give this place a negative star but I can’t. The pancakes taste like card board and I am told that they are under new ownership which explains why the food went from good to horrible.
It looks like the are cutting cost, don’t waste your time going there anymore.

When I saw on Unilocal that there’s an OHOP here in Miami, I figured it would be similar to the restaurant I used to frequent with my family whilst growing up in Detroit. This, however, was not the case. The logo and menu are the same, but that’s where the similarities end.
Now for starters, the place was basically empty. Normally not a good sign, but it’s a Monday so I didn’t let it bother me too much. The waitress came over to seat us and seemed a little less than enthused. Again, I tried not to let it bother me.
I ended up ordering eggs with home fries and wheat toast. My guy ordered the blueberry pancakes. We both ordered standard coffee. Coffee was average restaurant coffee, nothing to write home about. The eggs and home fries were abysmal. Plus, I ordered cheese on my eggs and home fries and they used what appeared to be cheese from the bargain bin at Wal-​Mart. My guy, however, said the blueberry pancakes were great. Not as good as the one’s in Michigan, but good nonetheless.
Overall, I felt that the service wasn’t that great and the food was meh. Huge disappointment. Won’t be back.

I’m sad to say that the new management of this restaurant took a great place, tried to fix what wasn’t broken, and messed it up.
The Pancake house was a Saturday tradition up until a few months ago. Went back today because I missed it, and unfortunately was disappointed at the changes they’ve made.
The home fries used to be delicious… The ones I had today were stale, hard, and didnt taste like anything. It almost felt like they didn’t want to put a decent amount of food on the plate. Everything felt measured and a little cheap. The French toast was skinny, the «scrambled» eggs just looked like an egg patty and they barely put any powdered sugar on top and that’s my favorite part. So sad.
The only good thing I have to say is that the waitresses are the nicest and funniest ever. They make it fun to have breakfast there.
Overall, I have to say we’ll be trying out different places for breakfast/​brunch from now on. Don’t think we’ll be coming back.

The restaurant was nicely decorated for Halloween. Our waitress was very nice and informative of the menu and she checked back with us regularly. The pancakes were so much better than any chain restaurant I’ve had, heaven in my mouth. I’d recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a great breakfast without the disappointment of regular chain restaurants.

Super yummy! Service took a little long but well worth the wait. The waffles look delish.

Love the attention of the waitresses and the food is always so very good. Love how we are always greeted as if we’re family will not go to any other location.

En martes a las 10 am el lugar estaba semi vacío. Nos atendieron rápido, nos entregaron los platillos también rápido. El omelette de champiñones estuvo muy bueno. El café es rico. Mi hija de 4 años disfrutó sus banana pancakes y mi suegra su Apple french toast.
Buena experiencia!

A lot cleaner and better in service than Dennys. The oven baked omelette is a huge meal for breakfast and it’s delicious. A little slow in coffee service. Almost all the time the same waitresses and they are familiar with what you like and not like after the second time. Very friendly waitresses. Except to wait a little too long to be seated sometimes.

Food is not that great, service was ok. I will expect from the «pancake house» great waffles & pancakes but is not the case.

I love coming to this place for breakfast on Sundays. It’s a nice and friendly place. Their orange juice is freshly squeezed and tastes great. I usually have the 49res flap jack they are thin pancakes not the usually ones. The western omelet is also really good. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area who wants to try something different.

Poor service and very loud place, not looking forward to comeback. Not even in the mood to type all the things that went wrong. I would rather typy blah blah blah blah.

Here is my 2 cents on the food. MMMMM good. One of the first places which has just waffles. They were thin, tasty, sprinkle with a touch of powder sugar. (Belgian are the thicker ones.) My partner had french crepes. Loaded with fresh strawberries and a warm strawberry syrup. Both were a delight.
Now some chitchat. We got here on a saturday morn around 830 am. 5 – 6 tables filled. Made our order. It arrived real quick. WOW within 5 minutes the place got swamped. We arrived in time. Must be good food with all the customers. Next time in the area will be back. Give this place a try. Service was also outstanding.

Very unhappy with the new menu and the lack of flexibility when ordering that used to be a basic part of service at this restaurant. The new potatoes are horrible compared to the potatoes previously on the menu.
I give it three stars because the pancakes are still incredibly moist & fluffy. If you had not experienced OPH before the changes then you will leave satisfied. Sadly for me, the restaurant is a pale imitation if its former self!

Jesus! What terrible service! I went last weekend and they told us it was an hour wait. Too long, but we were willing to wait. An hour and ten minutes later, we asked when they would seat us and they claimed someone else took our spot — which was impossible because we stood by the stand the entire time. We were finally dated, waited ten minutes for drinks and another 40 for our food. It ended up being over a two hour breakfast at this awful establishment. Never again!

I came here on Tuesday morning with my 3&4 year old. It was not crowded as it was after 10am. We were seated right away but then it all went downhill. It took about 10 minutes before someone came and asked what we wanted to drink, and then another 15 minutes before we got coffee and the orange juices. I know they squeeze the juice fresh there, but it should not take that long. Our waitress never came back to get our order, I had to flag her down so she could take our order. I would have left already, but I already promised my kids pancakes.
After we placed our order, the food came pretty quickly, but I never got a refill on my coffee, never got asked if we needed anything (I had to ask the guy sitting next to me for hot sauce). The wait for the check was unreal. She walked past us numerous times and never offered it, again I had to stop and ask her for it. Also, there was a sizable piece of egg shell in my eggs.
I really wanted to like this place, we had one in my hometown and it reminded me of back home. I will probably be back, just to give it another shot. But, this was a horrible experience.

The food is good, although this place is always packed and there’s always a wait. Usually they try to seat you quickly. That day I thought everything was just OK.

Super greasy Eggs n sausage! No French fries and no create ur own. I’d prefer Denny’s 1000x. Not satisfied.

On Sundays, this place gets crowded for brunch. Now, on a Monday you get the same food and great friendly service for the same price and no wait time.
They only serve breakfast and a lot of food for the price. Waffles are my favorite and they make’em tasty and whipped! Mmm with sliced bananas on top too! My sister loves the French toast and my dad is all about the Eggs benedict. Nothing wow like a fancy dish at a gourme restaurant but simply hits the spot, he says. Again, price is what it should for breakfast.
I wish I could make it more often during the week but I just got to run… Sorry, no mucho to say more. Got to run!

Came here for brunch on a weekday with a group of friends. One big plus about this place was how nice the waitress was! We kept adding tables together as our party got larger, and she was gracious about it and didn’t make a fuss at all. I ended up ordering one of their famous omelets with a side of pancakes. There is a disclaimer on the menu that the omelets take at least 20 minutes to make — we had to wait a little longer, but we had a large party so I wasn’t upset. But wow, when my food did finally arrive, my first thought was: «this was way too much food for me.» Not a complaint, more of an observation.
The reason I’m giving the restaurant 2 stars is that after waiting half an hour for my omelet that was beautifully described in the menu, I was sorely disappointed with the food that was brought to the table. The omelet was huge, yes, but it was tougher than plastic and very difficult to cut through. The cheese wasn’t melted (maybe it was at one point but then hardened up as the omelette cooled — it was about room temperature when served), and was instead a large ball in the center and bottom of the omelet, which was also dry. Then, the pancakes — I had asked for powdered sugar on top of my pancakes, which were also served cool/​room temperature. Instead of a sprinkling of powdered sugar on top of the pancakes, there were heaps and heaps of sugar –I couldn’t eat a bite of pancake without also getting a huge spoonful of chalky, dry powdered sugar in my mouth. Not pleasant.
I was hoping for better food at this pancake house, especially after hearing good things. I probably won’t be returning, as even Denny’s hasn’t disappointed me this badly before.

Found this place on Unilocal and glad I did! As I drove by, I saw a line of people outside, I expected to wait for an hour but on the contrary they gave us a table in 10 minutes which didn’t ruin my mood as we were very hungry!
Now for the food:
We had a Spanish Omelette, which we ordered with no cheese and it ended up being a little dry so next time we’ll order it with cheese :)
The french toast was delicious! Something I’m really looking forward to having again.
We also had their pancakes with the seasonal fruits on top which was delicious! I mean it is the House of Pancakes.
And lastly the eggs Benedict were very good, not the best I’ve had but satisfying to my taste bud.
This was shared by 4 people and we all came out rolling out of there! A must try for brunch :)
