Original Breakfast House

Having been informed some time ago by the owner that they had reworked their gravy recipe and asking me to give it another try, I reluctantly made my way back in. I have to say that I was impressed with the food. They gravy was very good and the biscuits now taste homemade. The service was slow but, at the same time, very friendly. I will definitely be back again. They have changed my mind about this place.

Only rating the breakfast, as I haven’t eaten here for any other meals, but this is one of the best spots in the valley for breakfast. The French toast is delicious.

Great place. Great service. Delicious food. Fresh squeezed OJ. Local fresh organic ingredients. Highly recommend this spot. Ask for Kimberly as your waitress. She’s the best.

I came after reading the reviews and it was pretty good. I got the Chicken Fried Chicken w/​home fries and it came with the French Toast. The chicken could have used some salt in the breading or gravy but the potatoes were seasoned well so I just ate them together. The French toast was my fave! It was buttery and a bit crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. The coffee is also good!
It’s super busy so it took a while for my server to come to my table (which is understandable) but she was a gem.
I would come back, maybe not during peak hours but I enjoyed it overall.

This restaurant started in Michigan and all they serve is breakfast, but that is what you will want. The fresh squeezed juices are incredible, but I leave that to my guests because I want to save the calories for their green chili eggs benedict. It is truly one of my favorite dishes I have ever had for breakfast. I like it so much, I want to spoon up the last of the sauce. My wife always orders their 5 egg omelette and takes half home for lunch. Two meals for the price of one. Get a side a bacon if you consider yours of a a bacon expert. It is thick and amazing a and you can take it home uncooked by the ten pound box!

Absolutely fantastic place for brunch. We were seated promptly (granted it was a weekday a little before 11) and our server immediately came by to get our drink orders.
I got the French toast combo with sausage and eggs. It was a ton of food and everything was awesome. I don’t know how they prepared the French toast, but it was a combination of soft and crispy.
My girlfriend got the blueberry pancakes and they too were great.
Prices were reasonable, especially given quality of the food and serving size. Would definitely go back

This place was great! The food was delicious and the service better than almost anywhere else I’ve been. The French toast is the way French toast should be done! Amazing! This coming from a guy who doesn’t like French toast until after eating theirs!
Food portions are BIG! They actually make your eggs to order. soft scramble actually showed up to par! A big pet peeve of mine. The chicken fried chicken was very juicy and tender although would have preffered more spice on the breading.
My daughter had the El Paso omelette. Huge, tasty with a bit of zip! I’m ordering it the next time. OJ freshly squeezed and everything is locally sourced and organic. Highly rcommend.

Finally decided to make the drive to try this place out. We waited 30 min on a Saturday morning, not bad because they have plenty of comfortable seating. We got their famous chicken fried chicken which comes with 2 eggs, toast, and a slice of their french toast. We also got the blueberry pancakes. We liked the banana pecan french toast, has that crispy «San Francisco» style exterior but not the pancakes because it has a lemon zest flavor. They were big and fluffy but not just our kind of pancakes. The fried chicken had good flavor, not overly breaded which I like but nothing amazing.
Service was great, they try to be as attentive as possible but expect a little delay because of the crowd. I would come back for my french toast cravings.

What a great breakfast/​lunch restaurant, Unilocal was right with this one the food was fantastic and the service was also fantastic I’m very impressed next time I’m in Phoenix I would definitely come back.

Don’t let the wait scare you away. The food and staff are well worth the wait. The chicken fried chicken is amazing. From the coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice to the cinnamon roll and everything in between we were not disappointed. Everything we ordered was great.
The service was good too EVERY person there was very friendly. I travel a lot and have never had a better experience. This place is a must! !

Great family owned neighborhood breakfast place — fresh food, mostly from local sources, extensive gluten-​free options. It’s been jumpin’ every time we’ve gone.
I’ve tried a few of the breakfast options: San Francisco style french toast; banana-​pecan pancakes; biscuits and gravy; Spam and eggs; the Big Gooey Scramble Mess (share that one); — all good.
Last time, the daily special was an «Indiana Style Pork Tenderloin Sandwich» — had to order that, since those are few and far between outside of the Hoosier home-​state. It was pretty darned good (I like it plain, with mustard and lots of pickles — give it a try!).
The coffee is good, and the servers keep you topped off (or leave a carafe for you).
Service is great, and everyone we’ve encountered on the staff has been great.
This is a great local place to hang out, grab a bite, and support the community (the restaurant, and their suppliers). Come check them out!

I only write reviews for places that I like and this is a great breakfast joint! The Mexican omelette is awesome. Boyfriend likes the pancakes.

Based on all the reviews on Unilocal I had my hopes high. Overall it wasn’t a bad place. I I liked the interior, the overall ambience and the service was excellent. The wait staff was very attentive and quick to respond to anything that we had requested. Just for the courtesy of the staff and the promptness I’ll give it 5 stars.
The food was unfortunately not to my expectations. Perhaps I was over expecting based on all the previous reviews which I looked over as I was waiting to be seated. I had an omelet and the French toast and while the omelette wasn’t bad it was nothing spectacular. I found the French toast to be exceedingly oily and that alone left with me not wanting to come back. The coffee we had was not bad, the orange juice was freshly squeezed and definitely delectable. Like everyone else is already mentioned the portions are generously sized and the prices are reasonable.
For the food alone I would give it 3 stars but the overall experience and the exceptional service pushes it up to 4.

If you are looking for one meal to hold you over all day, say hello to the Original Breakfast House!!!
I love this place because the pricing is very reasonable… not to mention the portions are are on the larger side.
I got the Chicken Fried Chicken with two eggs. Except I subbed the eggs with hash browns. The meal also came with a deep fried french toast… yummmmmmmmmmy, The hash browns are just perfect… not too oily and crispy. Looks like that is how they cook it, so if you prefer your hash browns on the mushy side, better let them know before placing your order! The entrée came with TWO crispy fried chicken. The chicken is breaded and covered in a thick gravy sauce. I could barely finish the first chicken slab… holy cow. It was perfectly breaded and crispy and moist. The french toast with butter and syrup (came as a side) was also delicious. It was the perfect texture of crispy and soft.
I definitely recommend the freshly squeezed OJ for $ 3.75. It also comes with one FREE refill. The OJ is pulpy, sweet and just a perfect balance to that heavy breakfast meal.
You grab your ticket receipt and pay at the front.
Service was also great. Thank you!

Excellent breakfast spot next to Alice Cooper’s charity thrift store. Show up hungry because the portions are large! Everything you’d expect at a breakfast spot like pancakes, French toast, lots of great omelets, and lunch sandwiches too. Specials include pumpkin pancakes and reindeer sausage. Be prepared for a wait on the weekends.

Another great and solid meal at The Original Breakfast house. Like I said I’m a big fan of breakfast joints in the valley. I am open to try new and other places, but this place is so consistent and awesome. They have outstanding customer service and very warming environment. They do get pretty busy on the weekends, so expect a little wait. It seems all good breakfast joints have some sort of wait. My lady and I arrived at 8:00 on Sunday morning, and waited for about 15 minutes and was seated. The service and food was all top notch. We ordered the biscuits and gravy with two eggs and a side of hash browns, and the special which was a green chili tamale with eggs and others. Both dishes were excellent and I would highly recommend.

My mom and I came here for breakfast on Veterans Day. We had about a 30 minute wait which was to be expected. They have a lot of seating for people who are waiting for a table.
When we did get our table it was probably one of the worst ones in the restaurant right in the flow of traffic. I asked the waitress if we could please have a booth which they did find us one. That was nice. It was very busy and quite loud in there. I’m not complaining about it I would just be warned if you’re someone who prefers a more quiet restaurant. Also it was Veterans Day so it was like I said, really busy.
My mom and I both ordered a cup of coffee. It was pretty good I still prefer Crêpe Bar’s coffee. My mom also ordered the fresh orange juice. That was excellent! They even give you a free refill. It is a bit pricey however.
My mom ordered the French toast with scrambled egg and sausage. She like the French toast, but I didn’t care for it. it was deep-​fried I found it to be way too heavy and very greasy just wasn’t my style. My mom said the sausage was good I didn’t try it. We both agreed that the scrambled egg was delicious! I really like how they prepared the egg. I could’ve gotten some more eggs but I was already getting full.
I ordered the blueberry pancakes. They were very good. I do like the little hint of lemon in them. I thought they could’ve had a little bit more blueberries though. We both payed the extra dollar to have the real maple syrup.
Overall this is a good breakfast place. It’s hard to come here and not over order. I left feeling way too full. I think I am just not a fan of big heavy breakfasts, but I do appreciate this place and their quality. I would go back for the scrambled eggs, and those cinnamon rolls looked really good!

I’ve always liked places where the owner is actually involved with his restaurant, which seems to be the case at this particular breakfast spot. And if you look at some of the photos on the wall, clearly this is a guy who has years of experience at what he does. It most definitely shows in the quality of the food and the service that’s provided.
Admittedly, it took a few visits for me to realize that the food here is better than what most standard breakfast restaurants offer. Lots of options on the menu, which includes a combination of both slightly unique and original choices. I always end up getting the French Toast (San Francisco style), although I’m still not entirely sure where they got this name. Nevertheless, the concept of deep fried french toast is sheer genius!
The bacon, eggs, and pancakes (w/​bananas and pecans) are all done very well. Always be sure to request the maple syrup upgrade. Although I haven’t gotten around to trying something more daring on the menu, I’m sure there’s a few undiscovered gems for people who like taking risks.
They do make an effort to source out locally when possible, although I don’t think they do it to the extent that places like Matt’s Big Breakfast (my all-​time favorite do). I mean, their bacon is good and their OJ is passable, but not quite to the point where it’ll blow your mind. But the quality of their food seems to be pretty consistent and I think that’s what they’re going for. I’ve never had a bad meal here.
Be prepared to wait on the weekend. It’s become quite a popular spot and I feel it’s rightfully deserved.
Excellent breakfast establishment all-​around!

Wow, this place has some unique items that you won’t find anywhere else. I really liked that. I had the chicken fried steak and deep fried French toast and it was tasty. I’ve never had FT deep fried and it was worth it. My mom had an egg breakfast. We were pleasantly filled up. We had a 10 or 15 minute wait on a weekend day. Love the tie-​dye shirts that the employees wear. The have Triple Berry French Toast which I am dying to try. We will be back!

A taste of heaven! This family-​owned establishment does not get the exposure that it so deserves. You get so much bang for the buck when you dine here. Not only is it inexpensive, but the entrees are pure pleasure for the palate. If I could eat breakfast here every morning I would, but the calories would soon catchup work me.
Customizable omelettes, pancakes, biscuits, ham, sausage, fresh orange juice, hash browns; you name it! If breakfast is this pleasing, I’m so anticipating dining here for lunch. They’re open until 2pm.
The wait staff is very energetic and ready to accommodate. When you ask you additional condiments, napkins, etc., they bring it pronto! The tables are turned fairly quickly, so the wait isn’t very long.
Try this place! It”ll be a great choice. :-)
