The food here is absolutely amazing! Would recommend over and over again. The menu has a variety of breakfast options, huge portions. service is pretty quick, even when they're super busy. read more

We stopped by for a late breakfast, and the place was pretty packed, but luckily, we didn't have to wait long before the hostess seated us. Since it was so busy, our waitress took a little while to come over for drinks and then again to take our food order, which was understandable but still noticeable. We ordered the mushroom omelet with the mushroom sauce on the side and the Dutch Baby. The omelet itself was pretty basic, and the sauce tasted a bit plain. The Dutch Baby, though, was really interesting. It was my first time trying one, and our waitress showed me how to put it together and eat it, which made it a fun experience. The first few bites were great, but the more I ate, the sweeter it got. If you have a sweet tooth, you'd probably love it! read more

Consistently good service and good food. We went in for brunch during the week. Polish French toast is excellent. This was my first time having it and honestly was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful it is. I at the majority of it without syrup, and it didn't really need it. So if you like good service, good food, good coffee, I recommend you stop in. read more

Went about 745 am on a Tuesday, there was no wait and several open tables. The person I was with got an Apple Waffle they found it absolutely amazing. There were several pieces of apple throughout the waffle, the syrup wasn't even necessary. They definitely recommend getting this if you are interested. I got the French toast, which was fine. It was made on French Bread which made it a little chewy. I've been here a few times and this is the only thing I would not recommend. It wasn't bad, but everything else is better. Overall, I would recommend this place as it is one of my favorite breakfast places. read more

Had a great breakfast here on Saturday. The team was friendly and we were seated right away. The AC also felt great since it was quite warm outside. The 4 of us ordered breakfast even though it was after 12. Carrie took great care of us! I had a Greek omelette and blueberry pancakes with a side of real maple syrup for a small up-charge (worth it). Everything was delicious and Carrie kept up with my coffee refills. My son is at UB so we will be back! read more

Love pancake house. The only reason for 4 stars in stead of 5 is that they use peanut oil for everything so its kinda limits you. The waitress was extremely nice and had them clean of the grill and avoid peanut oil for the pancakes which is extremely thoughtful and just going way above and beyond. So thank you for that! Ambiance in here is super cozy. Food tasted great. I just wish that peanut oil wasn't so hard to avoid! read more

Always great breakfast there! I love the eggs there always fluffy and buttery. The pancakes are good too.

Server: Cheryl, she was great, really knew her stuff. She was fast paced and on top of it, I liked that about her and her service. Two Eggs Sunny side up As expected. Can't really rate an egg. They were indeed sunny side up. Corned beef hash 10/10 Kyles rating. He says it's homemade, delicious flavor, fresh tasting, good amount of salt/seasoned well. I tried a bite. I don't like corned beef cash but it was not bad, I would eat this. Good corned beef flavor. Potato pancakes 10/10 Fluffy, crispy edges are fantastic, if you've never had a potato pancake, the texture is a little strange, like super tiny chopped potatoes. But they were equally good when dipped in ketchup, applesauce, or sour cream. Eggs Benedict 6/10 It's just okay. I don't really recommend it. Wouldn't order again. The eggs were poached fine. Ham was bland, Hollandaise was bland too. I definitely think it was made from one of those packets, definitely does not taste homemade. The whole thing just lacked flavor and needed salt. After the first bite I immediately wished I had ordered something else. Home fries 2/10 They were over cooked, not even crispy, just hard and weird. They look burnt somehow but didn't taste burnt? Not a fan. read more

Kari is our waitress almost every time we come here. She gets everything right, she's attentive, friendly, and always treats us like family. The food is consistently delicious.

Great place that I've been going to for years. I've always enjoyed my Sunday breakfast coming to the OPH. I will say however that the quality has been declining in recent years. Prices have also seemed to increase making this a not so affordable breakfast. For those reasons I have cut back on how often I go here. I like the apple pancake but be warned that it is huge! Enough to share for two. I'd suggest splitting it with a friend or two! Service is good and the restaurant is clean although it could use a refresh. read more

I've been to the Pancake House on Main St in Williamsville many times but this was the 1st time at this location. The inside is much more open than the other location and has a huge parking lot. Both pluses. Coming here I never think of the normal bacon and egg type of meal. Today I ordered the seafood crepes that came with potato pancakes which is a regular side for many of their dishes. The crepe was loaded with nicely cooked shrimp. It also had imitation crab meat and clams which I actually didn't taste much of. The sherry wine sauce was the perfect creamy topping. I also enjoyed my crispy non greasy potato pancakes. My friends ordered one of their specialties, the apple pancake. My husband ordered the placek french toast. Everything seems to be enjoyed by all. Our server was excellent, coming over at all the right times when I needed more coffee. Much appreciated. Side note, an order of 4 slices of bacon was over $7! I knew the cost of bacon was up but that's the 1st of seem it on a menu lately. Nothing against the restaurant, just an observation. 2021-172 read more

One of the best things about Original pancake house is, the food at all their locations are very consistent. There's absolutely, nothing fancy about their food at all. It's actually pretty basic. But I really do enjoy the batter they use for their pancakes. Prices is reasonable, so that's another plus. read more

My friend and I met for breakfast this morning at the original house of pancakes! We both were feeling some chocolate chip pancakes and what better place to go than the pancake house! The service was so great, as soon as we walked in we were sat at a table in the dining room. I ordered a Coffee and every time the wait staff walked by, they topped my cup off. I have never even finished a cup of coffee I think because they kept refilling it! That was great because at least I never ran out of coffee which is a must in the mornings for me! The pancakes came out loaded in chocolate chips which I drenched in syrup! I ordered a side of bacon which was perfectly crisp and cooked just to my liking! The restaurant was your average diner/family style restaurant that reminded me of when I was a little girl having sleepovers and my nanas house! It gave me the cozy family style feel that made me feel like I was just at home! It was a perfect place to catch up with a friend I haven't seen in a while! I will definitely be back for more breakfasts in the future! read more

Food was great, service was very fast and helpful, and many options if you aren't a fan of pancakes. The ambiance was pretty nice too, not too loud or anything. This gets 5 big booms! read more

What can I say about this place, it's a chain but it's also a classic! I always end up getting some of the same things when I come here, the Dutch baby, the Swedish crapes, or the now-removed-from-menu ham and mushroom crêpe. By the way, ask for this when you come in,sometimes they can still make it and it is wonderful. They need to re-add it to the menu! On this visit, they were fairly short staffed but the one waitress and hostess were doing a great job trying to keep up with everything. The dutch baby is a work of art and so delicious, and the crepes made at original pancake house are somehow hearty and delicious while retaining that light thin texture. I will always be back! read more

Second time I've eaten here. Good breakfast. Had bacon and eggs with side of sausage. I'll eat here again. Coffee could be better. Service was excellent, very efficiently run restaurant. It was very busy but the wait time was short. read more

Been to the location in Williamsville and from now on I will only go there. I understand Sundays at 10:00 are busy like most I just got out of church. The wait to get in was only 20 min. The wait for our food was double that. I wasn't in a rush but it was a little excessive. My other main problems where my sons food came out 5 min after ours. If anything his should have come out first or at the same time. To top it off maybe I should have ordered pancakes since it's in the name but I wanted the eggs Benedict, and it was gross and flavorless. It's a large menu, they didn't need eggs Benedict if they can't make there own hollindase sauce. The sauce was clearly from a packet. read more

Best pancakes around. Good service decent coffee. I always love going for some breakfast/brunch never disappointed. Pleasant experience

Went here few years ago (forgot to post)...best fresh squeezed orange juice and breakfast!!!

Big servings , good food, friendly staff, weekends are crowded but week days are good, they don't have the special coffee mugs you can buy that are the special ones with the city on them if you go to the one in 2075 Niagara Falls blvd, Amherst but otherwise it's a good place to eat read more

I review the original pancake House every few years because it is the premier breakfast spot in Western New York. They continue to take my favorites off the menu so delicacies like clam and egg cakes, Kosher Salami and eggs and seafood omelettes are nowhere to be found these days. But all the ingredients continue to be fresh, your coffee cup will never go empty, fresh cream for the coffee, and they have spectacular crêpes, Dutch baby and apple pancakes, and of course, their buttermilk pancakes. The potato pancakes are a bit oily, but acceptable. The corned beef hash can be dry but occasionally it is perfect. Their bacon is prepared as crispy as you would like and everything they do here they do properly. Their wait staff is well trained and attentive, and the silverware is appropriate to the fare. You won't be disappointed. As far as how long it takes for your name to be called, there's a reason this place is crowded so be patient. It will be worth it. read more

Terrible. A few weeks ago I had my favorite Continental crepe. Yesterday I can specifically for that and they had a new menu And no longer making the continental crepe. My second choice was the strawberries and cream but could you switch it to cherries and cream? No, they will only make exactly what the menu says. Extremely disappointed in the new management or owner. The waitress said he won't listen to complaints but that he does care about reviews so here I am. read more

It was okay. I honestly hoped for better but this was definitely something I could've made. Looking back I kinda wish I got the pancakes but pancakes are expensive here. I prefer iHop. read more

Original Pancake House - Eggs with turkey sausage and sourdough toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Pre bday breakfast for my son and I. Service was good and quick. But when I got my meal of scramble eggs w/cheddar, turkey sausage links and plain pancakes. My sausages were very cold. I expressed this to the waitress and she said 'that's funny, they just came out' . I told her to touch them 'oh yeah they are cold. I don't like sending a meal back because... The corrected it but now I'm annoyed. No apology, no compensation read more

Stopped in today for lunch at this location and sorry we did. No smile from any staff, no greeting, looked like they were celebrating a funeral. Got seated and upon lifting the pull down shades, all the window sills were filthy. The staff "uniforms" were dirty and the overall ambiance was "yuck". We had already ordered when most of the above was noticed. Bathroom was much the same. Eggs (scrambled)tasted weird and the potato pancakes were decent. Best part was the sour cream. Got a smile when the machine came to the table. Ironic. All the front staff were gathered at the hostess desk chatting and laughing the whole time we were there, other than bring our food and the check. As we left they were all at the front again and had to go around the group in order to exit. Don't bother with stopping, Dunkin' Donuts might be a better choice. read more

This place is huge and clean. I came because I had a craving for pancakes and they were open early. Which meant I had a prime parking spot in their huge parking area. Evidently there are lines here on occasion. They ask you to sign in on a board with clear, specific instructions. Very nice pancakes. If I'm ever here again I'll have pancakes only. They were by far the best part of the breakfast. Bacon microwaved? Eggs came without seasoning. Didn't refill water. Really? Tiny glass of water and can't be bothered to refill? Ridiculous. Pancakes alone would have gotten them a higher rating. read more

Came here basically just to try the Dutch baby my friend has been raving about - and it did not disappoint. It's a huge, beautiful baked pancake that takes 20-25 minutes to make (which they let you know ahead of time). When it comes to the table, they ask you if you would like it "prepared" with the various toppings - lemon, butter, powdered sugar and strawberry. I said yes because it's part of the experience and was also my first time! I loved the hint of lemon, it tasted so fresh against all the sweetness. I would definitely come again for this breakfast treat! read more

KIDS EAT FREE EVERY NIGHT AFTER 4PM!!! And, just in case you didn't hear me the first time ... KIDS EAT FREE EVERY NIGHT AFTER 4PM!!! We love the Original Pancake house for this reason, plus many more. After 4pm on any given night, it is usually pretty quiet and quick to get a table. There are lots of booths in a retro-comfy atmosphere. Not sure it's been remodeled much since the 80's, but I like it that way. The food is cooked fresh, made to order and delicious. I love eggs any way, and am always please with however I get them prepared here. I especially love the mushroom omelets. The kiddos love the pancakes, and the hub'ster enjoys a good Dutch Baby. Those fruity, eggy, buttery, sweet layered beasts take about a half hour to bake. So if you go full-Dutch, come to stay a while, relax with your fam', and if you have little ones, KIDS EAT FREE AFTER 4PM!!! Did I mention that already??? read more

I really prefer this location for its more casual setting and down-home atmosphere. A little more of a casual sense than the Main St location. The other location in town is often very busy, you feel rushed, and it thinks it's fancy. :) THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE FRESHEST EGGS IN TOWN. They are pricey, but worth every penny. .. just for the coffee and cream alone! Today I had basted eggs with bacon and rye toast... my personal tip for your new addiction..... dip your bacon in the signature jam that comes with your toast...OMGEE... you will not be able to stop. I PROMISE. My only complaint is that their home fries were not great. But once I had my hands on my bacon. .. home fries WHOO? :) read more

Original Pancake House is one of the best family friendly restaurants in the area, and a great option for if you're looking for a no fuss, inexpensive meal to enjoy with friends. We've been to this location probably about a dozen times now and have never had a negative experience. As one would expect, they have a pretty extensive diner style menu with many choices of breakfast meats, eggs, pancakes, crepes, sandwiches, etc. We've sampled many options during our visits here, but without fail we always make sure to order some of their buttermilk pancakes (the best traditional buttermilk pancakes we've ever had!) and their fresh squeezed orange juice (pulpy and delicious!). Some of the other items on their menu are a bit hit or miss (I'm usually a French toast person but theirs leaves a bit to be desired), but on the whole I'm always happy to come to Original Pancake House for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Service is generally quick, polite, and no nonsense, which we appreciate - the place is large so often times they are serving quite a large amount of people. Even so, the food never takes too long and is always hot and solidly 4 star quality. Don't expect for the red carpet to be rolled out, but we keep coming back! A great addition to the Amherst area, which otherwise tends to be filled with a lot of generic chain restaurants. read more

I wish I could rate this a 3.5, but I think a 4 fits well. The place is always packed in the morning for breakfast. This was my first time going because of this and we decided to just wait in line instead of going somewhere else. You have to write your name on the check in board to be seated. I think the longest time we waited was for our food, not bad but it definitely took a while. The food was fine, nothing too special. They do have a lot of waffle and crepe options which you don't find most places. I'd go back, but i don't think it's one of my top choices read more

Great food! Great service from greetings to food service. Pancakes were perfect!!!! 5 stars!

Cheryl M as a server: rude, inattentive, honestly just seeks miserable. Food was pretty good though

First time I've been at this location in a number of years. We left absolutely STUFFED! The kielbasa was really good, cooked perfectly. We shared the Dutch Baby, which was my first time trying it. It was DELICIOUS! I had to force myself to stop eating. We also split a full carafe of the fresh squeezed OJ, it's good but pricey at over $16 for the carafe. The service was good and we got right in considering the place was pretty full. read more

It's just an amazing feeling to enter an establishment that's not a franchise chain and you can order fresh homemade foods still. This establishment is very quality oriented and their foods are totally out of this world, everything is made to perfection and if you ask me I would truly eat here every morning. Very traditional atmosphere it feels very homelike and the staff is very attentive to their customers. They have a huge selection on their menu, place is clean and their orange juice seems to be freshly made. I would absolutely recommend everyone to give them a try at least once you won't be disappointed. read more
