Second time here and was not disappointed. Had the breakfast chimichanga with scrambled eggs, ham bacon and sausage with assorted veggies and garnish. Had it topped with red and green sauce. Great flavors, enough for two meals. Service was exceptional. They only accept cash here. Weekday visits for me are the best. I am sure they are packed on the weekends. Large menu selections. read more

They do have good food but not as good as it used to be. Also it has become super expensive. We still go there but not as much. We live less than a mile away read more

Original Breakfast House is an old fashioned breakfast place with a huge menu, fast service, meh coffee, and decent food. I had the "John Wayne" omelet w green peppers, diced ham and cheddar. There was something odd... the omelet was perfectly formed, the peppers and ham were perfect cubes... ? Anyway the sourdough and hash browns were tart and crisp. $22 + tip for coffee, omelet/hash browns and toast. Oh! They are CASH ONLY. Bring cash or expect to use their ATM machines (2 of them). Now THAT is old school. read more

Have you ever been to a place that makes you wonder if perhaps you provided five stars on Yelp a little too liberally or that maybe Yelp should have a best of the best rating for the most deserving? Well, those were my thoughts when we had breakfast at the Original Breakfast House. There was a reasonable 20-minute wait outside in a really nice sitting area enjoying a beautiful Arizona Sunday morning. I was surprised the wait was not longer, but the owner does a skillful job of keeping the customers moving along. The inside decor is full of surfboards and surfing decor. It made me miss my time living in Hawai'i. The staff is super nice and superbly knowledgeable. Everything was really clean. The food was amazing and this establishment should be rated, if not by Michelin, then certainly by Zagat. Everything from the food to each of the sauces is made in-house. All the food is locally sourced. We had the Key Lime Pie Pancakes with blackberry coulis, the bacon and potato omelet, and the CALI BEACH BURRITO (Large flour tortilla stuffed with French Fries, bacon, scrambled eggs, pepper jack cheese, avocado, tomato, and their creamy salsa. Toasted on the grill). Of note, the coffee is also exceptional that comes from a local roaster. They truly earned my highest accolades on this #ThankYouThursday on Yelp. We will be back many times when in Phoenix :) read more

Insanely overpriced. Bacon was bad, sausage we both said had a weird texture at the same time lol. Orange juice is 5.50 and small glass. 100$ for two people is crazy balls read more

I hate restaurants that don't value people's time. Drove 20 mins to this place because of the reviews on Yelp and Google. Neither was updated with being closed temporarily because the business was "on vacation." Got all the way there to find out from a sign on the front of the building. Lazy. Update your hours on these sites so that people aren't wasting time and energy trying to support your business and you care less. read more

We're always greeted by at least one friendly staff, usually 2+ people give us a welcome greeting. The food is very good, as is the service. From the moment you walk in, there's a Hawaiian vibe with the décor. And the bathrooms are clean. read more

The food came quickly, but it wasn't as good as I remember. Chicken and gravy were just meh and the French toast was ok. Glad they still have fresh squeezed OJ, but not with one refill anymore. read more

I had never heard of this little gem before. Obviously popular in the neighborhood as they have a massive seating area outside with live entertainment for the wait (unless you get there early). Be aware they are CASH ONLY (there's an atm on site for those unaware) Started out splitting their scone of the month, a warm lemon lavender pastry served with sweet cream and tangy lemon curd. I'd like to try one of their cinnamon rolls next time. Our breakfasts were massive portion sizes. I had the chicken tinga omelette which was a huge fluffy omelette stuffed to the brim and covered in crema and cheese. The portion sizes make it worth the price (~$50 for the scone, drinks, and 2 large breakfast plates). Our servers were especially friendly. I think they have teamwork down because it gets so busy but there was always someone to check on us. read more

Cute little restaurant. Great staff. Good food and a place that a lot of locals hang.

After many years, I finally revisited this fine establishment and was absolutely thrilled to find not much has changed other than the seating arrangements. Food is spot on, service quick and genuine even after all these years. Having been a frequent flyer to Phoenix area during the fall of 2021 and monthly trips in 2022, I found this place to be my go to stop for breakfast. While i did try a couple of places closer to my location in central Scottsdale, this place reigns supreme. Can't recommend it enough. read more

40 minute wait had to leave gotta try it next time. I'm in town earlier in the morning.

Great food and service. It's like an old style diner with great food. We need more diners like this in Arizona.

Everything we ordered was delish!! Ambiance was as warm and friendly as the service was great!! The giant brioche cinnamon roll was superb! My lemon & lavender scone was the best ever!! Loved the green chili omelet, my son was ecstatic over his huge 'baby' Dutch pancake with berries and cream! Recommend going in early-- we walked in on a Sunday morn at 9 but the waiting crowd was into the parking lot by just after 10. read more

If you're reading this, you're likely considering eating here. I give you permission to stop reading now, get in your car, on your horse, your bike, or just get up and start walking to this place. You won't be disappointed. We came on a Saturday morning around 10am and it was busy. With a party of 5, the wait was quoted as 15-20 minutes, which was spot on. Our server was very friendly and offered recommendations. She seemed genuinely happy to be working there. Since no one else in my group uses Yelp, I'll consider myself qualified to summarize everyone else's experience here based on some roughly paraphrased survey responses: -Chef's special egg white scramble (this was mine) - delicious. Light but filling, and slightly healthier (maybe) than the rest of the menu. I subbed the toast for pancakes which are really unique with their lemon recipe. So so good. See pic. -Bacon and potato omelet and side biscuit - "One of the best omelets I've ever had. Wish we lived here and I'd come back every day. Biscuit is so good and fresh. So much food though, need a box. 7 stars." -Breakfast quinoa bowl - "The pesto is really good and I am happy with the bowl. The orange juice is great. A ton of food, can't finish." -Breakfast chimichanga - *thumbs up* -Garden hash & eggs with side pancakes - "Very good, flavorful, lots of veggies (duh), a lot of food (notice the theme here), orange juice is amazing" In summary, the place is worth your time. Cash only, lots of parking available, and prepare to wait for your table on weekends. Wish I could come back and try everything else on the menu. If you're still reading this, you ignored my advice in the first paragraph. While that's disappointing, i still believe in you. They are open 7.5 hours each day. Find one that works, and go. read more

First off, I would like to state that the staff was really nice and we had no issues obtaining a table and the place is pretty big for seating and have ample parking. The only reason why I'm giving this more of a 3.5/5 stars the rating is because the food was just okay to me and my fellow friends agreed too. We had ordered the Brioche Cinnamon Rolls, Chicken Fried Chicken, Hawaiian Fried Rice, and the Popeye Omelette. The cinnamon rolls were fluffy and they tasted good, however, it felt like we had better cinnamon rolls at Cinnabon. The chicken fried chicken wasn't too bad but had areas of being bland that I had to add in condiments like ketchup. The gravy had some interesting tasting sausage as well that I actually did not want the gravy, and believe me I usually smother my fried chicken in gravy. The hawaiian fried rice was..weird?..and also bland. The rice used was wet like the ones you find in like jambalaya or some dish that needs the rice to be wet. This was supposed to be fried rice and umm..I've tried fried rice in Oahu and I'd rather have the one in Oahu because this was not that. The popeye omelette was meant to be healthy so no surprise that it was bland as well. I'm a big foodie person and maybe I'm just used to food in LA, NYC, and even the OC but we definitely gave this place a try and we know that locals love this place so I think this may be a restaurant to at least try and judge yourself because we do need to at least support the local restaurants that isn't a chain or so. read more

I'm very impressed as I wasn't expecting such a delightful menu. Some standard and some creative dishes. Service was average, so no disappointments there. Ambiance could use some improvements but still very clean but loud. All in all it was a pleasant experience. I rate it right up there with IHOP, so you can count an equally pleasant experience. read more

Yes, this place is deserving of 5 stars and more!! We came on a weekday and were seated right away. I saw my friend Mo. tried the chicken fried chicken and I knew that's what I was getting. I don't like chicken fried steak and that's not what this is. It's chicken and so good! Hubs got the biscuits and gravy with eggs and potatoes. We also got a fresh OJ. It was definitely fresh as it was super tart and full of pulp. I enjoyed it but hubs didn't care for the pulp. Food came out pretty quick and there's a lot of it. The chicken fried chicken was a breaded fried chicken breast served with gravy, eggs and the most delicious deep fried French toast! It doesn't sound appealing as I'm not one for deep fried things but it tasted like a funnel cake. Literally SO GOOD!! The biscuits could have been a bit more fluffy as they were a bit overcooked and hard but hubs enjoyed. The potatoes, GET THE POTATOES!!! They're seasoned perfectly and cooked perfectly too. Crispy bits of potatoes along with tender chunks. Delicious! We also took a brioche cinnamon roll to go. It was okay, nothing fancy but wasn't horrible. Definitely will be back to try more of their food. They have an awesome menu with something for everyone and a cute beachside theme! read more

On a hunt for some good brunch, look no further. This place has so many choices it's uncanny. The parking lot is adjacent to the restaurant. We checked in with the host, small wait but they were accommodating with seats and shade from the AZ sun. My party and I chose counter seats and were promptly attended to. After an order of hot coffee and fresh squeezed OJ we settled on a couple menu options. One included the steak and eggs. Our food was brought out within 10minutes. All I can say is my eyes were bigger than my belly. My breakfast sampler had a huge pancake, hash browns and sausage. The portions here are no joke. There is option to share if need be. Overall, food was great! Service wonderful. Along with a great experience. Looking forward to a return trip next time I'm in AZ. read more

Visiting town from Los Angeles and this has to be my favorite breakfast place that I have been to so far. The portion sizes are extremely generous and the taste is delicious. The prices are very fair but it is cash only. The only downside is there usually is a wait because anything this good has to be popular. Our server was very polite and the food came out quickly. I ordered coffee and orange juice to start like I always do and was happy to see they brought out a full pitcher of coffee for me and left it on the table. I knew then I was about to have a great meal. There are many great menu options but I chose one of the specials today. Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite breakfast dishes so I chose the Birria Benedict and it was amazing. It reminded me of home, the flavors were deep, and everything was cooked very well. We also ordered the strawberry pop tart and the brioche cinnamon roll and both were wonderful. I would highly recommend to any fan of breakfast or good food. read more

John provided the special vegan menu items that I requested. Then came to our table personallyto check on us and our satisfaction with the vegan foods. We lived this place before we went vegan and now we still love it. Would recommend highly to everyone. Thanks! The ambiance is surf worthy hippie. A good place to take out of towners. Be prepared to wait unless you can sit at the counter. Also home made twinkees in the pastry display. read more

The food was so delicious, just recommended two things. Get there early and take CASH. There is an ATM on site just in case. My wife had the green chili eggs Benedict and it was next level.

Subpar service, okay food, got chicken fried chicken, very overpriced, no WiFi and they only take cash. A bit Dirty looking

Alice was the best server I have encountered, ever. Before I even ordered anything, she had brought me lemon and a photo of an ingredients list of their GF raisin toast. Staff here goes above and beyond, and nothing short of exceptional is allowed to leave the kitchen, according to the signage facing the team as they enter the dining room. I had a seasonal southwest salmon salad. The salmon was moist and well seasoned, a large portion. The salad was tasty with corn, mango, avocado, tomato and tortilla strips. I chose ranch instead of sweet honey lime vinaigrette. Companion chose small pancake portions and our server encouraged him to order one each of the lemon curd and key lime pancakes, plus add on of two sunny side up eggs and two thick slices of perfectly cooked bacon. Empty dishes were cleared promptly, cashier was efficient. Clean, upbeat place with a broad breakfast menu, but no liquor license. It's cash only and limited to one hour fifteen minutes per table when busy so plan ahead! read more
