Average at best. The syrup is weird and very watery. Servers are nice but the manager is kind of a sloth and seems incapable of speaking.

Flew in from CA to see my kids & grandkids- this is always one of the places we meet up with family to eat breakfast! Staff is friendly and proficient. Portions are perfect! Option of house potatoes or hash. Orange Juice is freshly squeezed! That's a huge thing for me because I do not like the after taste concentrate leaves. My husband loves grits but is very selective about where to get it. If it does not come out or taste right - it changes his whole view of the place. He orders the grits every time! Will continue to be a breakfast favorite for us! read more

Where to begin??? They advertise Coke products on their menu but the waitress admitted they serve a generic cola. Four people ordered side salads, only three came out. Two of the salads had a whole onion slice thrown on top. And I mean like the whole onion slice, the rings weren't separated. One of the salads didn't get any onions at all. The kids ordered chocolate chip pancakes. They forgot the pancakes. Then they forgot the chocolate chips. They asked what temperature I wanted my turkey burger. Think about that one. They came back out to ask what kind of bread I wanted for my sandwich. I said brioche, like it's listed on the menu. They came back out a second time to ask what kind of bread I wanted for my sandwich. I said brioche, like it's listed on the menu. The turkey burger was disgusting. I took one bite and asked for a to-go box. I was going to give it to my dogs. Then I remembered I love my dogs and threw the sandwich in the trash. The waitress was "pretty sure" they don't serve dessert. I'm "pretty sure" we won't be going back. read more

This place is a well oiled machine. It is MASSIVE. Tried the mini apple baby. Very good. Comes out SCORCHING. They have a HUGE menu as well. I had one of the skillets and it was very good. Would recommend. But if you're looking for a intimate little breakfast spot, I wouldn't go here. read more

If you're looking for a restaurant that defines mediocrity, a place for people who don't care about what they cook serving people who don't care what they eat, then you've found your place! I order a salad. They're out of the ingredients. I order a grilled cheese which should be a no-brainer for a breakfast/coffee shop. They screwed up twice, and the greasy burnt corpse that was served up had no real taste other than the sliver of ham. Good for another year or more until I forget to check my review and remind myself why I don't eat here. read more

What a disappointment for the most part. Their signature product -- the pancake -- just was not up to snuff. They tasted a bit funky to me, but maybe I expecting something closer to an IHOP pancake which I happen to really enjoy. Others in my party did enjoy the pancakes and was happy that they did -- especially my little boy who enjoyed the strawberry and whip cream covered pancakes. I enjoyed their egg "skillet" dish which is a combination of eggs, potatoes, cheese and peppers. And their bacon was tasty, thick sliced and very tasty as well. The coffee was also plenty hot and tasty. Not the best place for breakfast, but not the worst either, and is worth a try for at least their egg dishes. read more

Loud, loud loud loud loud..... This place echoes, and is filled with typical West Boca jerks, the kind who give Boca Raton a bad name (think Jersey Shore refugees). They seated me instantly at 11 AM on a Sunday, and food arrived quickly. Food cost about twice what it should have. read more

Came in for breakfast on Sunday, the place was packed. The wait was short, the manager accommodating. The focus is on turning tables quickly. The pancakes and the crepes were not bad, but way overpriced. The overall impression is like eating in the middle of the Grand Central during rush hour. Not going back. read more

Crowded as usual, 15 min waiting time,service was ok, but breakfast was fresh and tasty, family was happy.

We have been having regular breakfasts here for more than 10 years. Knocked down a star because they have recently gone cheap on the bacon. The original pancake house used to have the best, most flavorful thick cut bacon and now it is paper thin and pretty sad. A good piece of bacon is a draw for many so I feel the need to warn my fellow bacon lovers. Maybe the owner will step up and give us what we really want...we want our good bacon back!! read more

Pancakes are serious business at this, the Original Pancake House. I do not really understand why a place that is the original pancake house would be located in a strip center, or why the founding members of the restaurant would deem it necessary to add "original" to a place's title before there even existed known imitators. I do not know the above two things, but what i do know is that the pancakes and the french toast at this place are amazing. I had some blueberry pancakes the last time I went here. Now, I have had a number of versions of blueberry panacakes, from frozen to homemade, but I have never, ever seen as many blueberries fit into a pancake as the people at the "Original Pancake House" were able to do. I used the accompanying blueberry compote, however, I am still questioning that decision. This place is located in a kind of crappy strip mall, but it is PACKED on a Saturday morning. I think I got there a touch before 11am, and the wait was a half an hour. The place is so good, apparently, that people in Florida are willing to wait outside, even in the August sun. Practically unheard of. read more

The crepes (unfilled ones called shells) were 5 star in my book. Friendly service and a nice kids menu (my 4 year old got pancakes and OJ for $2.99) and hubby had Huevos Rancheros with a side of (not very pumpkin-y) pumpkin pancakes (small upcharge). We ate ourselves silly and had excellent service from our friendly waitress. You pay at the cashier. A good choice for a filling pancake breakfast. Note: The pancake batters contain peanut oil, so if you have a nut or peanut allergy - go elsewhere. read more

Great service. Samantha was excellent. Very attentive and knew the menu well to give us options. First time here and will definitely be back. Wait wasn't long either despite it being very full. Food was hot and came out quick. read more

We went for breakfast on Mother's Day. We got there early so we didn't have to wait for a table. A nice touch was giving all the ladies a carnation when they came in. I had three buttermilk pancakes. They were light and delicious. My mom enjoyed the senior egg and pancakes. My husband had the continental crepes. He loved them. I tried one of his crepes and it was delicious. My cousin had his favorite, the silver dollar pancakes with strawberries. We all enjoyed our breakfasts. The coffee was great and our server kept refilling our coffee cups. The service was attentive and friendly. read more

See all

GroupOn and the desire for breakfast brought me to this location. My fiance and I were so excited to visit but honestly the service was disappointing. As we arrived, there were a total of four parties waiting to be seated. However, there was only one girl who was cashing out guests and could not attend us so the line kept growing. Once we were finally seated our waiter came to ask us for our drink orders and the followed with our food order. It took forever to receive our food! So long... and once we did receive it we had to wait around for our waiter to ask for refill, ketchup and our missing french toast. Which wasn't even the way we ordered it. Honestly, we just didn't even have the energy to send it back. At the point, our waiter just brought us the bananas on the side, literally. To get our check was the same experience just waiting around. I don't think I will be back here. This restaurant was not even busy enough for the staff to be so distracted. Not a reccomendation. read more

Two Words Apple Pancake Well Actually Lester Highet's Original Apple Pancake Anyways, I have never ordered anything else there - it is just too good. I eat it over 2 days since it is so large. Otherwise, their whipped cream is great, and the hot chocolate as well. Their pancakes are good, so are their omelets. Overall, one of the most filling and satisfying breakfasts I have ever had And they now offer Brinner (Breakfast for Dinner) for all the people who love that. read more

Original Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Sad this place took over where the famous Wilts used to be but that was forever ago now. It's a cute homey feeling breakfast place. Food was good and came out quick. Menu was a little overwhelming and I wanted more of an everything choice -- ya know the eggs pancakes a meat and something else kinda thing. Couldn't seem to figure that out. Friendly staff :) read more

The food was decent. But the reason i'm writing this review is because the 'host' was condescending to people coming, the restaurant had a wait time of 15-20 minutes. He was acting like the restaurant had over an hour wait time, I witnessed 2 nurses come in, assumingely on their lunch break, he tells them if they want quick food to go to McDonald's. And then, 3 elderly men come in, they were speaking respectfully and quiet, and then the 'host' got very visibly aggravated when the 2 men asked a question at the same time. He yelled at them 'I can't help you both when you're speaking at the same time' understandably, the men walked out. I could understand if the restaurant was extremely busy, phone ringing off the hook, but to act arrogant when only 3 parties in your lobby are waiting, Shows a lack of professionalism and composure. I don't recall his name, but he was skinny, bald, tall and had a conceded energy to him. He seemed to be the Chief cook and bottle washer of the establishment. But they should keep him away from customers. He deliberately drove business away. read more

The place is solid. Huge menu. Huge crowds. Nice waitstaff, if not slammed, but always attentive and doing their best. My biggest gripe and the rationale for only 3 stars? Value. In my particular instance, we've a daughter that loves chocolate pancakes. You know, the type of love that equates to: "I'll literally do anything for a chocolate pancake" kinda love. Me? I'm into a bowl of oatmeal. You get the picture. So we eat at the OPH weekends upon weekends and then decide - let's get to IHOP down the street and clarify what the difference is. At the end of the day, it's about portion, quality and price. And with our limited menu requirements (after all - a chocolate pancake is pretty much just that - a CHOCOLATE PANCAKE)...both places get it right. But IHOP is less $, there's a lot less hassle (in and out, crowds, pretention, etc.), and everyone's just as happy. Now if I could get either place to stop charging nearly $5 for a bowl of oatmeal. I swear, I'll bring my own and ask for hot water... read more

This review is written based on 3-4 visits over the past 6 months. Overall, the service is what you expect from this type of restaurant... it's service. Nothing spectacular, nothing awful. But I'm compelled to write after our experience yesterday on Mother's Day. After a long 45 minute wait (not complaining, we expected it), we were seated with a major attitude because our 8 week old daughter is in a stroller. We "should have told them that" when we checked in. Well, my wife tried to tell the host/hostess twice after we checked in, and was just brushed off with an "okay" because apparently they were too busy to bother. Server arrived promptly, the food came fast (although the server wrongfully assumed that we were ordering off of the kid's menu for our son, when in fact we were not). Honest mistake I suppose, but you shouldn't make assumptions. Then, about ¾ of the way through our meal (my plate was nowhere near empty), our server came by and dropped the check off at our table. She didn't ask if we wanted the check, she didn't ask if we were done, she didn't ask if we needed anything else. I was SHOCKED. After that point, it was a struggle to get anything else. I needed more coffee. My wife needed more water. We had to wave her down (which I hate doing as a customer because I feel like it's very rude) because she was no longer coming back to the table. Each time we asked for something, she would roll her eyes or make some other face that made it clear we were a bother to her. I kept my mouth shut and quietly asked for the manager after paying my bill. As I tried to explain the situation, he brushed me off with an "I'm really sorry that happened to you..." as he was walking away from me. While I was still talking. He didn't even let me finish. It's evident where the attitude comes from. If the manager is going to treat customers like this, what can you expect from servers? It's a shame, because we like the food, but I can't bring myself to come back to a place that is more concerned with turning over their tables than with the experience of a paying customer. 2.5 stars because you didn't fail me in the past, but on Mother's Day you failed miserably. I believe I overheard that the manager's name was Mohammed. So, if you are reading this, I hope that you learn something. read more

Horrible food. The stake smelled and tasted spoiled. The pancakes stink of ammonia. Worse than Waffle House. What people would eat here again? read more

Wow, what a fall from grace. Been coming here EVERY time I've come to Boca for the last 18-years, and there is no coming back. Service was so bad that alone gave me pause, but the pancake recipe tasted different. Pancakes are so sweet now that my 5-year old rejected them. Sad day. read more

Love this place! The fresh squeezed orange juice is one of the best. The omelets are amazing! Service is great. Very accommodating to gluten free diet. Family friendly too! read more

Original Pancake House - So fluffy! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Came with a group of twelve so can not complain about 1/2 hour wait. Waitress was very friendly and has been here for several years. No complaints from anyone about various types of waffles, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, etc. Offred sugar free syrup. A bit slow on the coffee refills but the place was packed the day after Christmas. $100 for 12 plus tip not so bad. read more

The first thing you'll notice when you're here on a busy day is the noise level. This place can get LOUD. If you're looking for a quiet place for a weekend brunch, avoid at all costs. However,if you're okay with the volume, the food pretty good. I usually get the sausage and eggs, which is served with a choice of hash browns or home fries, I'd recommend the home fries, as the hash browns are often undercooked. The orange juice is really fresh. Probably the best orange juice from any restaurant in Boca. The pancakes have a unique taste and you can upgrade them with extras such as fresh strawberries and whipped cream. All together, if it weren't for the noise, this would be my favorite breakfast spot in town. read more

Original Pancake House - Apple Baby - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I've driven by this place many times and never noticed it was there for some reason. However, I'm really happy that I finally did because when we ate there it was great. My friends and I went to lunch and it was pretty packed, and the place is HUGE compared to what I expected from seeing it on the outside. It's in a strip mall and I just expected it to be smaller I guess. It's not fancy, but it's brunch ;-) Anyway, we had the normal brunch fare, and everything was really great. And the best bonus was that the kids meals were absolutely free, I was in shock! They were big portions for kids meals. I would definitely go again because we had a really good experience with the service, food and the pricing was great! read more

Original Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

My sole prior experience with the Original Pancake House franchise was in Champaign, IL, where the restaurant is deservedly grotesquely popular for weekend brunches. The atmosphere is cozy there, the prices modest, and the food well-made. On Glades Road, though? The atmosphere is cafeteria-like. Cold, color-bland perfunctory booths and tables spread out in yawning, naked way (the decor might as well heavily feature mops and buckets) might speak to the sheer volume of customers, but there are ways to arrange seating such that one is not overwhelmed by a panopticon effect. I paid about ten dollars for lousy coffee and a waffle with sausages. The sausages were OK, actually; better than I'd expect from a chain, and that befits OHP's reputation. The waffle was garbage, though. As though poured from a carton and singed by a toaster. Even dingy diners do right by cultivating a kind of cozy low-expectations charm, but this place has just slightly more charm than a feeding trough. If you've got a family to fill up, you can do that here and then hit the gas station; get it all done in one trip. But if you're looking for a breakfast experience that isn't borderline-depressing, head elsewhere. read more

I love this place! The Swedish pancakes with lingonberry are light and sweet, a perfect alternative to pancakes or crepes. They also do not serve them in many places. I love having fresh squeezed grapefruit or orange juice with my breakfast. Coffee is fresh with free refills. The crepes they serve are not very authentic or good. The hash browns, eggs, and bacon are always great though. Service and wait staff is excellent. Sometimes when I come to this location though there are horseflies which is gross and annoying! read more

Yes, the brilliant management closes Sat and Sun at 3, but they're open Tues until 8, when no one's there. Because nothing screams dinner more than eating at the Original House of Pancakes, SMH. We ended up going to IHOP which is open all day on weekends and is less money. read more

Pancakes are light and fluffy. Service was great and we were seated right away even after being advised 5-10 minute wait.

I love my folks. I really do. However, I am always skeptical about their choice of restaurants. Florida is home to hundreds of strip malls with their thousands of mediocre restaurants. Perhaps, the sun has baked their taste buds right out of their heads. They are my folks and their latest rave was best omelet ever at The Original Pancake House no less. I sadly accompanied them on their latest culinary expedition. The Original Pancake House was larger than expected and was an open space. Unoriginal, yet its about the food At The Original Pancake House, they bake their omelets. They do not throw em on a skillet or griddle like pretty much everywhere. Baking an omelet puffs it up, so the puffy product looks like a football..literally It was also delicious...really tasty. The buckwheat pancakes were quite good as well. The Original House also offers freshly squeezed OJ and even gluten free treats. I liked The Original. Good choice Ma and Pa...then again, you were due... read more

I've been to original pancake house since it was at its first location on Powerline and Palmetto. When I was a kid I loved it! Pancakes and chocolate for breakfast!! Yum but not anymore. I find that the fruit is not fresh, there are no real healthy balanced options on the menu, and nothing is really freshly made. Such a bummer because unless you want a bagel where can you go for breakfast around here? Yeah I know there's First Watch but I'm not a fan and that's a totally different story. I will go there occasionally when people come in from out of town or for a quick birthday celebration but definitely not a regular breakfast spot for me. It's really inexpensive and worth trying. Most of the guests are either families with young kids or above 65+. If you do go I would get the chocolate strawberry crepe (share it with someone because it's a lot), no strawberry cream (that's my preference though), and strawberries on the side. read more

Not impressed, service was slow and rude and the food by the time was served was cold. They are pretty careless about the situation, plenty more places better to go read more

Busy location of this chain (casual breakfast spot) with good service. Plenty of parking. Large menu with many options. They also serve lunch. read more

Our breakfast spot. We go there almost every Sunday. Kids get the Belgium waffle combo every time. Pancakes are the best too.

Two words. Danish Baby. Mind blown. Amazing coffee. Creative dishes. Great and fast service. Will be back next time I'm in soflo. Everyone is talking about the dishes taking forever or the wait being long. On a Saturday or Sunday morning the wait is long at every breakfast joint. Also, the menu tells you what dishes take 20 minutes and 30 minutes. If you want a quick breakfast put some bread in your toaster. I loved this place and would love to see one in Orlando. read more

We ordered pancakes at this location and they tasted weird. The manager said "that's how they are supposed to taste". We eat at Ft Lauderdale location all the time and they taste a lot better! I will not be coming back to this location. Service was weird, manager didn't care, and for their prices there should be a little more care for the experience of their patrons. read more
