I love the Original Pancake House usually, but this location greatly disappointed me. I ordered the Vegetable Omelet, which has mushrooms in it. When I asked the waitress if I could get it without mushrooms, she told me that the omelet mixes were pre-made. What?! This was upsetting, but whatever, I'll pick them out. The service is what really made my experience disappointing. We got hardly any service for coffee refills. We had to flag our waitress down for coffee. The omelet was extremely dry too. read more

I was here today with a group of friends. We were impressed with the menu selection and how clean the place was. The servers were very nice but the service was SOOOOOOO. Some of the food was very good and some not so much. Everyone's eggs were seriously over cooked to the point we didn't eat them. Eggs Benney should have a runny poached egg not over hard fried. Not impressed at all that a breakfast restaurant can't make eggs. read more

Normally really good service but called on Memorial Day for pick up and was told they refuse to do so on holidays and proceeded to hang up on me. Waitress was very rude. read more

Yum yum yum! Among the 3 of us, we shared the Dutch Baby, mushroom omelette, and pigs in a blank (pancakes). Our waiter was a Teenage boy that kept a smile on his face the whole time and was very attentive- kudos to good training and work attitude. The Dutch baby, we were warned, would take 20 minutes. So we sat and chatted , while my coffee was diligently refilled. When it finally came, it was huuuuuge! And looked and tasted absolutely delicious! The mushroom omelette was huge too! Eggs were soft and flavorful, and they did not skimp on the mushroom. I also loved the potato pancakes that came with- so good with the apple sauce. No complaints about this place whatsoever, except maybe a tip on the coffee- ask for milk instead of using the cream, the latter makes the coffee taste weird somehow. Already thinking about coming back again! read more

Always excellet and I love the quality of the products used. Real butter!! Real syrup! Real cream! The service is always excellent and we went on Mothers Day on the last visit. It was packed but well prepared. read more

My bf and I stopped here on our way back from a weekend trip for a late breakfast. I went there based on my fellow Yelpers' reviews - so thanks, folks! He got the insane Apple Pancake (which everyone near us stared at) and I got the blueberry crepes with a side of bacon. We both loved our food and stuffed ourselves silly. I didn't even need dinner that night! The bacon was good & thick-cut, and my crepes were delish. Our server was great and the folks around us seemed happy too. I'd be happy to have one of these near me! read more

I ordered vegan pancakes and they served me bacon pancakes and I ate some before realizing what I was eating (obviously this isn't a good thing if you have dietary restrictions). I asked for a refund and they still charged me for the pancakes and with an upcharge for being bacon pancakes. Totally appalling. read more

Eggs were cooked perfectly and the banana pancakes were amazing! My husband loved his pecan pancakes! The customer service here is excellent! Would definitely return! read more

Original Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I am typically not a breakfast person, if someone wants to go out for brunch I may choose the lunch side of it. If I do chose breakfast I usually choose an omelet but when coming to the Pancake House I had to actually try pancakes. I chose the chocolate chip pancakes and they were delicious!! Made me wonder why I don't choose this option more often. I've also tried the potato pancakes because again, I'm not typically a breakfast food person, but I didn't love that choice. What I do love here is the coffee! I'm not sure what it is about their coffee but it's delicious!!! I do believe it is pretty pricey and don't come here regularly due to that. But the Original Pancake House is just down the road from where I live so friends and I will stop by every so often. read more

Coming into the restaurant was a nice experience. Only had to wait 5 minutes on a Sunday morning and the waitress was very nice. I am ordering Coffee and the Bacon & Basted Eggs on the Eggstra Special. It comes with three buttermilk pancakes as well. COST: I paid $11.60 for the whole meal. Very reasonable price, especially for the quantity of my order. SERVICE: Service was very well! The waitress was very nice and was very friendly. She kept coming over to check if everything was alright and to see if I needed more coffee. A different waiter came up to me just to fill my coffee some more so the service was excellent. FOOD: The food was well. The pancakes were easily the best part of the meal. The eggs were like every other eggs, nothing too special. The Bacon was good as well. It came crispy without me asking but I like crispy bacon so it turned out well. It had a weird taste to it but it didn't ruin it. FINAL VERDICT (Written) I am giving it a 4/5 stars. The food was good and the service was great! I recommend coming here because it is much better than it's competitors (Dennys, ihop, and Bob Evans). read more

By far the dumbest most inefficient hostess / seating situation on the effing planet. Please fire the moron who invented this brilliant white board system. Its not cute or charming...its the literal definition of hostess inefficiency. All the technology in the world, open table, etc.... and were using a stone age white board...here seriously? Is this a joke? So you walk in, see 50 empty booths, and 50 ppl waiting in a vestibule... signed on a white board. while you write your name on the white board.... then, eventually. 1. By. 1. In about 10 years. A 12 yr old high school kid who is in charge of the entire hostess seating arrangements, might, maybe, come back to the board and call another name. Awesome dutch baby. Huge waste of time. Eff this stupid place. read more

Their coffee is really good!!! My favorite dish are the potato pancakes. Not too heavy on the onion, which tends to be the problem at other places. I honestly am not a huge pancake, crepe, or omelet lover, so my opinion counts for nothing here. But, as far as potato pancake are concerned. Two Thumbs Up! Get it with the ham steak, or the bacon. OH, and YES to both the sour cream and apple sauce. THANKS!!! :) read more

Awesome breakfast. Our other option was IHOP. We are so glad we chose original pancake. Order a feta spinach omelet was huge and filled full with feta. Pecan pancakes layered with pecans. We also had the Belgium waffle. Thick, fluffy and crisp on outside. Enough food on our plates to feed a few more people. Pricey but well worth it. Very clean and friendly place. Fully satisfied. read more

Original Pancake House - Scraped my plate clean :) always delish - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Its diner/pancake house food....Really big portions for a decent price, I was really impressed! Walked in, sat right away, order taken, food was at the table in less than 10 minutes, and I wasnt able to finish all the food....And that doesnt happen often, especially when the food is that good! read more

Pretty much the same as the location that I usually go to on Main Street in Williamsville..... except the setting seems a bit more mid-century modern than cute and kitschy. The menu is the same... and I ordered my very favorite thing: "The Dutch Baby": a fluffy baked pancake bowl that is brought to the table and then filled with butter, powdered sugar, fresh lemon, and strawberries. So delicious!!!! Of course there is also every imaginable omelet....and type of pancake.... and waffle.... and crepe to choose from as well. The coffee is hot and strong (many a tiny bit too strong), and it was cheerfully and promptly refilled. Great breakfast choice! read more

First time here and I was not disappointed. As expected, I knew there were going to be a lot of people on a Sunday morning. Luckily, we didn't have to wait very long for a table. I ordered the Dutch Baby and that was soooo good!! All the ingredients worked so well together and I really loved the lemon. It was very filling and I would definitely order it again! read more

I came in here with my husband and children, right from the start the hostess had an attitude and seemed like we had interrupted her conversation with a waitress at the front desk. We ordered a ham and cheese omelette and it was runny and raw, when we asked to speak to the manager the waitress rolled her eyes. The manager came over, Dave, immediately as he started talking I got the biggest whiff of alcohol off of his breath. He was rude and you could clearly see he was intoxicated I can't believe that someone would allow a drunk to run a family restaurant. Not worth the money read more

We were in town for the Bills playoff game. Stopped here on the way to the falls. They had a "full house" (at limited capacity) but a good system to notify when your table was ready. As promised it was 15 min. Service and food was excellent. read more

Stick with the pancakes here! Omelets are HUGE, the potato pancakes are a bit greasy but the pancakes are delicious. If you order the apple version, make sure you've got time to linger. This bavarian style treat with apples and cinnamon takes 20 minutes to prepare. But for $9.95 it's definitely big enough to share (maybe even with three people!) read more

My husband and I was in the area and came to this location on a weekday for lunch. The service was friendly , but delayed. For as many people that was there I was surprised by the wait. There isn't much to look at while I was there besides the filthy blinds next to me and Cobb webs in the ceiling. But seriously though, it needs a very good cleaning. The food we got was good, not great. We got the loaded pirogies which I would recommend if you like onions and potatoes and bacon. We also got an omelette which was massive. I would've been happier to have less eggs with more flavor, instead of vise versa. But eggs are subjective. ‍ my husband got a cheeseburger which was okay he Says. The fries came out cold. If the server wasn't so nice I'd probably give one star. But since the service is so important I give 3. read more

Catalina, our server, is fantastic. As far as the food, it is delicious. My favorite is the raspberry pancakes. Today, I had a chocolate chip waffle. It was simple but good. They are pricey, but worth it for a treat. Speaking of treats, be prepared for the posted calories in the menu. One of the pancake items is 1800 calories. You can shave off 100 calories, our server said, by getting any entree without butter. My chocolate chip waffle was about 400. Wort it for a treat. read more

Great Place, awesome crepes, blueberry waffle was to die for, well almost, sausages were perfect, service was great, the only thing is there was a shell in my pecans. read more

The place is usually busy. The price ranges from $9.50 to $14.00. When I first arrived the waitress was polite and asked what I like to drink? I said diet coke.i got sorry sir the fountain drinks are down. When I we asked would you like to eat? I said the pork sausages and eggs. Sorry, sir we are out of pork sausages. How does a business continue to operate with broken equipment and lack of supplies? read more

The best breakfast place in buffalo, me and my family bean here more than 8 years,food always delicious service very nice and so friendly! Try the strawberry waffle is the best! read more

I have always enjoyed the food here. My favorite is the French toast since it comes out in long thick slices however, there was a small cockroach crawling across the window sill next to our table. My friend killed it, and when we informed our waiter he denied that it was a cockroach. A quick google search confirmed otherwise, then he ensured that, "what was in the dining room wasn't in the kitchen." read more

This is by far my Least fav restaurant food was horrible and took 1hr to receive my food never again

Came in today for waffles with my best friend, as it is galentines day and waffles are clutch! Their menu boasted the best waffle selection in the area so we gave it a go. Being in our late twenties, we were the youngest guests by about 30-40 years at least! It was kind of adorable. There was no hostess so we waited uncomfortably long before someone looked up and noticed us to seat us. The service was fine after that but not spectacular. We ordered two coffees and two specialty waffles (fresh strawberry and peanut butter) one of which (the peanut butter one) was a la mode. The waffles were thick and huge and absolutely wonderful. They came served with a strawberry sauce that I could slap someone for. The menu is fairly large but honestly I wouldn't go there for anything other than waffles or pancakes. The food is expensive- there's no nice way to put it, it's overpriced. This is not a eggs, meat, home fries and toast kind of place. The add-ons are quite pricey, $3.55 for a side of toast?! REALLY. The food was wonderful though and I found my new waffle fix. read more

The food is good. No complaints there. However, the prices are high, so the value equation doesn't usually work. And, they're not very gracious if you dare to walk in with your half finished cup of Tim Horton's coffee. Give me a break - if you're going to charge sky high prices, I don't think you need to hold me up for the price of another cup of coffee. Especially if its not as good as my favorite Tim's or a coffee house brew. Just sayin'... read more

The Raspberry waffle with sausage patties is the best! and ask for real maple syrup ...they will heat it up for you. Of course their hot coffee w real cream is delicious too. I will always go there as their standards are high and food is consistently Done well. read more

The original pancake house has two locations one on Main Street in the Village Williamsville the other near the 290 I Niagara Falls Blvd. They both use the same menu and the quality of the food is pretty much the same. Their portions are extremely large and almost everything is tasty. We went to the pancake house on Niagara Falls Blvd., Sunday with friends from out of town. We were served quickly even though the place was completely full and service was good and fast. I have no complaints, which is rare for me, but it is worth the trip. read more

This place is the worst. The only reason I'm giving it any stars at all is because you can't start a review without clicking one! Service was terrible nobody acknowledged us for at least 5 min after we were seated. Bacon was so burnt it was black and shattered into pieces if dropped. Potato pancakes were raw- corned beef was disgusting. Potatoes never made it with the overcooked dry poached eggs.!!!! The bus boy paid more attention to us than the damn girl who shall remain nameless the food took forever once it came ((if it made it to the table)) all these employees are stuck in slow motion ! This place sucks !!! DONT GO JUST DONT DO IT !!!! read more

Let's start this review off by stating a fact: Ihop is better. I came here with high expectations, and those expectations were certainly not met. The pancakes were small and overpriced, and a glass of orange juice is $5??? That's crazy!! The water cups they give you are the size of my pinky finger. The restaurant was nearly empty, it was my party and one other couple so the food came out fairly quickly, however my pancakes were burnt! A waitress serving a different table was more attentive to our table than our actual waitress and it took her at least 20 minutes to notice us needing a box. Just overall it was quite a disappointing experience and I will not be coming again... read more

My friend and I stopped by for breakfast and it was such a wonderful experience!! They accommodated our dietary needs, the space was super clean, and the service was amazing! Our server, Alexis, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and more. I would totally recommend this place to anybody. We are from Virginia and honestly, the service was beyond what we were used to. read more

The coffee was horrible, the pancakes were dry and too fluffy, the service was sub-par, and there was no healthy options.

Ordered the apple and the blueberry waffles. I can confidently say it was the best waffle I have ever had. The fresh squeezed orange juice was incredible. read more

Let's start with place itself. The look was a bit outdated but they have a big menu with lots of options! The booth I was seated at was uncomfortable and felt like a cheap spring mattress. My Grapefruit juice was served in a cup inside of a bowl and the same goes for the syrup.... I was confused by this. Staff is kind but not super professional. Our waitress told us in the middle of eating that she was going on break and from that point on, we had no waiter so we couldn't order anything else even if we wanted to. As for the food: I ordered the Corned Beef & Hash, Strawberry Cream Crepe, and the Eggnog French Toast. The Corned Beef & Hash was pretty good. Nice and fresh tasting and the egg was cooked well. The Crepe was very tasty. Could have been slightly less soggy but other than that, great strawberry sauce, amazing filling and nice presentation. The French Toast was pretty good as well. The toast was surprisingly soft and cooked well. The only negative thing about it was probably that you can't taste eggnog at all but it was still some pretty delicious French toast. Overall I'd say 4/5. If they updated their deco, trained employees a bit more and perfected the execution of some of the recipes, this place would be the ultimate breakfast spot. read more

This is simply the best place to have pancakes and crepes. The service, staff, food quality has surpassed all expectations it's my third time here and I am not disappointed. The quantity and price cant be beat. When you order blue Berries you get just that. The coffee is perfect. You must simply try the fresh squeeze orange juice. I always take some to go. read more

If you want a good customer service experience go somewhere else. I recommend Zoes on transit or family tree on bailey. I haven't been here in awhile but as far as customer service is concerned its even worse now. Placed an order for pick up. The cashier was really nice said my order wasnt done. I go and sit on the bench waiting to be told my order is done. Time goes by and no one tells me. I go back to the cashier and ask her she tells me its been done for some time. I ask her why no one told me she says the other girl left. This was a 52.00 order. She doesnt make eye contact. Sorry. She says. I pay my bill when the cashier starts bad mouthing the customer before me to her coworker. I leave. Now for the food. Its pretty crappy cold. read more
