I swung by on a weekday for brunch. Pros + Ample seating. I sat at a booth even though it was busy! + Bottomless coffee. That was lovely. The food was tasty too. I'd recommend it. read more

This chain restaurant (there's another in Delray Beach, Florida) hits all the right corporate notes: It's clean, bright, well-stocked and well-organized. We were immediately seated and offered coffee. The menu leans heavily to brunch: Pancakes, waffles, crepes. Hard to tell if the prices reflect Williamsville, egg shortages, or corporate philosophy, but I had some sticker shock looking at the prices. BTW, there's no possibility to upgrade to real maple syrup, so for a premium price for pancakes, it's ersatz sweetener. We ordered buttermilk pancakes, and savory mushroom crepes. The pancakes were outstanding: The perfect amount and cooking time. I can see why it's the flagship product. The mushroom crepes? It was the strangest breakfast I've ever had (and I've lived all over the world). To begin with, it was made with a sweet, not savory batter. The mushrooms were not sliced and folded into the filling with a sauce, they were sauteed whole, and poured over the top, as if they were berries. To add to the confusion, this choice comes with a side of pancakes or potato pancakes. On the whole, a breakfast that costs as much as a dinner elsewhere, but without benefit of an ocean view, and lacking a classic presentation? It was disappointing. read more

Strawberries and cream crepes are phenomenal. Prices are a little high, nice classic diner feel.

This is my absolutely favorite place ever the pancakes in there are absolutely so delicious the way they make the eggs are are cooked with a little bit of fluff and the bacon and sausage is always on point absolutely my favorite. The service was really great since we sat down. They gave us coffee and then they let us take a minute to look over which they checked on us a couple times until we were and then we ordered the food came out pretty fast almost 10 minutes after. Is that place always a place I bring people who are coming out of town or visiting or when I'm just here with my family. The ambience is very family oriented. There's always a line which I like and once we sit down it's very quick I'm always there seeing someone. I know that I haven't seen in a really long time. It's like a fun brunch living room. I'll always come back. This place is great. You never know who he'll run into. The waitresses were also very very sweet. read more

We normally enjoy coming to Original Pancake House but my husband was sick so I just ordered takeout and we got the Peanut Butter Chip pancakes because it said it comes with strawberry syrup. It came with regular syrup, not strawberry and you can't call them and speak to an actual person on the phone. It's a shame. What if a senior citizen wanted to order food over the phone because they didn't know how to do it online? Do Better. read more

Very overpriced (breakfast for dinner prices), not many options. I went with my sister and mother, not a big pancake guy, their choice. I tired to order a simple bacon and cheese omelet and the omelet itself is over 15$ and it's $2.34 to add cheese, not extra, just to add probably one piece of cheese. So you're paying 20 for an omelet that cost probably 5$ to make. And all and all. The pancakes weren't great. Just do not recommend for the price at all. To me there's having good pricy food and price gouging your customers. Had I not order coffee before I looked at the menu, I'd have left. Will not be back, will not recommend read more

Lots of fond memories here and I was home visiting family and they let us stay for 5 hours. They refilled our coffee and were absolute queens. Thank you pancake house of orchard park. read more

Try the blueberry crepes, strawberries and crème crepes, French toast and kielbasa. The English muffin (ordered a la Carte) arrived with rest of order (warm and tasty) was toasted but cold. Our server seemed like she wanted to be anywhere else but at work. We will be back for more crepes! read more

The food was great!! my eggs were exactly how I enjoy them, the turkey links were juicy! But let me tell you the orange juice is freshly squeezed definitely the best I sipped!! Everyone at my table enjoyed their food we definitely had to get Take out containers. The service was great also it was a Sunday so it was busy, but definitely got a table quick, so I was happy about that. The place was cozy and the aesthetic was beautiful most importantly it was super toasty because it is winter! Can't wait to enjoy breakfast again with my family here. read more

Good food, quick service. The place is a bit cold so bring your sweater. The place has been around for years so food is always good. The dutch baby is something you need to try with a friend or two. read more

First visit here. Nice ambiance and the food was good, but 2 stars based on the actions of the waitress automatically selecting a 20% tip when paying the bill, and standing over my shoulder. Their website had no prices listed which I didn't like. read more

This place is a Buffalo institution. I been coming here for years. Recently the menu has been simplified and no more QR codes on your receipt for payments from your smart phone. I loved that feature. Ambiance feels like a typical dinner with booths and table seating. This place is a staple and a known quantity with several locations in the greater Buffalo area. read more

Brunch with family here on the 20th. Covid protocols followed, distancing and sanitizing. We had great food and super service. Our server, Rachel, guided us through the assembly of the Dutch Baby. I've eaten at OPH before, but first time on Union Rd and first time to try the Dutch Baby, which is the main reason for this review. If you've not had this delightful pastry, you are in for a treat. A tray of fixings is brought to the table while the "bowl" is being baked. Soft butter, powdered sugar, lemon wedges, sliced strawberries, small pot of strawberry sauce. The server will ask if you know how to put it together. Don't be afraid to say no. The assemblage is part of the experience, and I'm not telling how to do it. read more

a friend from out of town and I decided to make a stop at the Original Pancake House on July 3, as it is one of her favorite restaurants in the area. Once we walked in we realized that they totally changed the decor to an ugly grey color, which was totally different from the kitschy, vintage look that it was beloved for. We gave the host our phone number after around 20 minutes of waiting without any service, and I understand that it was busy, but within the time we stepped into the building, no one had been spoken to alongside the many other people waiting. We decided to wait in the car to give other patrons more space, and after another 20 minutes, we just went to Alton's in West Seneca, and it was lovely. They never contacted us regarding our table/spot on the waitlist. I would highly recommend going anywhere but here, or if you do go, be prepared to not be served. Lol. I have been here in the past and the Latkes and Crepes are pretty good. Although that was before their renovation so I cannot speak on their current food. read more

The Original Pancake House is a local Western New York staple for breakfast. Depending on the weekend day and time, it can get fairly crowded and they will put your name on a wait list. We sat within five minutes upon arrival. They were fairly busy on a Sunday around 11:30AM and waited about five minutes before a server took our drink order. Afer drinks were served, our order was taken. I had ordered the raspberry pancakes that had fresh raspberries and a raspberry sauce on top and asked if I wanted whipped butter and powdered sugar on them as well. My fiancée ordered the french toast with the butter and powdered sugar as well. My son had the scrambled eggs with American cheese and a stack of buttermilk pancakes. I believe it is 6 that comes in the stack and they are decent sized. While we waited for food, the server was very attentive with drinks and making sure my coffee was topped off. Our food arrived and we all dug in and enjoyed our meals. The atmosphere is a family style sitdown and have plenty of table space. They do have both booths and tables that can be put together for larger parties. Most items are a-la-carte but they do have breakfast combinations that come with a few options. Overall I would recommend this establishment for breakfast and enjoy thir food! read more

For some reason we keep giving this dump another chance. It was freezing out so we sat by the fireplace which we learned was broken and the entire restaurant was really frigid besides. We have such fond memories of the worlds fluffiest omelettes and other delights. They were always stupid overpriced but they were kind of worth it for a splurge and specialty items. Last several times we went to Wmsvl and OP locations it was just plain shitty. Nevermind that they are insane Nazis when it comes to special requests. Won't even sell you a single pancake a la carte even with 3 entire breakfast orders, don't substitute squat and one must have pancakes as your side with eggs without the option of toast instead (costing like 5 bucks or something crazy!). I'm still in sticker shock that a side of bacon is EIGHT DOLLARS. I ordered mine crisp and it came soggy and had to be sent back TWICE yesterday with a really long wait in between. Our breakfasts were not at all warm when they arrived and my sisters potato pancakes were literally swimming in grease. By the time my bacon came it was pretty much useless. They weren't busy either. The nice but mostly absent waitress seemed to think it wasn't unusual for some omelettes to not be fluffy but this was always a signature of their process of whipping in a milkshake mixer and finishing in a cast iron pan in the oven. My other sister who NEVER complains said here lately theres almost no cheese in the omelettes and while at first somewhat defensive of the company, the waitress did finally admit they lessened the amount of cheese. AT THEIR PRICES??? Wow. SO sad. When its good here, nothing comes close. But they're not worth the gamble anymore - like almost everyone else since the height of the pandemic. read more

You can't go wrong with their breakfast. I had eggs, pancakes, and bacon. The bacon was thick and very tasty. The pancakes were light and fluffy. read more

Stopped in from our road trying to get home. Friends were a bit skeptical when we entered but when they received there food they apologized and stated how good the food tasted. One of my friends had the pigs in a blanket and kept commenting on the sausage used and how good it was. I had the French toast w/the eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast and split it w/my partner and still had food leftover to bring home. The French toast were really good. Perfectly cooked. They weren't soggy and had a slight crunch to the edges and were semi sweet. So good!!! Coffee not so good but otherwise everything was great and cheap. Servers were friendly and made sure to top off coffee without being asked. read more

We visited the Original Pancake House on a Sunday afternoon. I got the corned beef hash with potato pancakes. My meal was delicious, I tried the sour cream and applesauce with the pancakes, the applesauce was delicious, the hash was obviously homemade and was also excellent! My son got the freshly squeezed orange juice and I had a taste, it was the best orange juice I've ever tasted! My daughter got the raspberry crepes which were also great! We ordered a small stack of pancakes at the end just to try them and they were also delicious and served with warm real maple syrup! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a pancake house! read more

Price: 4/10 You might have to sell body parts to eat here. 1 coffee - left earlobe Sausage Patties - coccyx Waffles - platelets Corned beef Hash - that weird punching bag that hangs in your throat $90 bucks amongst the Waffle Alliance - no bueno Service: 8/10 Sharon was amazing! She really knew how to butter our waffles! Almost felt like a grandmother to us in the short time we interacted. We'll never forget her kindness and generosity - we'd recommend her to any other Waffle Alliance in town but sadly Waffle Alliances are an extinct breed much like the platypus. We kept her business card in case we might ever need a waffle maid in the near future. Waffle: 9/10 I'll tell you what, these waffles are original as advertised - that's probably why they call it The Original Waffle House. The velvety interior contrasts the perky golden exterior of the waffle- really gets our motors humming! Pecan waffles were covered in delicious salty nuts. What more can a waffle gobbler ask for!! Conclusion: We'd smash again but it's not worth the body parts we had to exchange to eat here Rating: 7.3/10 read more

I find it hard to be able to nail down a review for this place. Here's why - their Dutch baby is amazing. Perhaps one of the best breakfast creations ever. If you haven't had it and like a hardy breakfast, you absolutely must give it a shot. Be forewarned, it takes 20 minutes from order to it being served. We loved it (not the first time we've had one) and would take the chance at any opportunity we can get it. The restaurant service was good. I think the day we went there was a single server for the whole place. She was attentive but had a lot on her plate, so to speak. The restaurant is dated, but the real disappointment was that the bathroom (I can only speak about the mens room) was disgusting. It was as though it hadn't been cleaned for the night before. And when I say disgusting, I means really gross! Would I come by for another Dutch baby? Likely yes, but I wouldn't be thrilled to come to this location again. read more

One of my favorite places to go for breakfast! Everything feels homemade and is delicious. I have never had a bad meal here. I had the western cheddar omlette, and I would definitely get it again. They did not skimp on the cheddar! I always get bacon here, because its cut thick, and cooked perfectly. I love their French toast as well. Their preserves is delicious to put on it, or the toast. I don't go here often, but go when I can. They are a bit pricy, but I still enjoy it! I recommend for sure. read more

OH MY GOSHHHHH. They should just call this place heaven because that what it is. Pancakes galore every flavor and combination you could ever think of. I have seen the Dutch Baby pancake so many times and I know they have one here so I ordered it for the first time! I ADOREDDD THE MEAL so soo much! They bring out strawberries, butter, strawberry syrup, and powdered sugar separately for you to design your pancake to your liking. It tasted custard on the bottom and crispy on the outside. Quite unique and delicious. I also saw some omelettes come out on other peoples plates and I kid you not they look like the size of a football. So make sure you're hungry when you go, the portion sizes are NUTS. read more

Used to be good. Coming here for 10 years with 14 people. Waited 40 minutes. Our table was given away to people who JUST walked in. The hostess lied to us. There were at least 4 tables the other people could have sat at, allowing us to sit together as usual. We left. They lost out on a big check. No stars- had to put one to leave review. read more

The waitstaff at the Pancake House is on top of their coffee game. That is my biggest take away from my visit! No one at my table was able to get their coffee below half way before a diligent member of the waitstaff was there to fill it back up! In addition to their extraordinary coffee game, the turn around on the food was fast, and I should mention it is very delicious! Most egg dishes come with a side of pancakes which you can upgrade to one of their fancy offering for a small up-charge which is totally worth it! The peanut butter pancakes are my favorite, but the crepes and and omelettes are on point if you're looking for something less sweet. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

The prices here are outrageous, being predominantly carbs, fruit and sugar. The juices are TINY and costly. Search elsewhere folks, such as Breaking eggs or the polled yolk read more

I've been here before...Always thought they were pricey for breakfast food....This visit re-affirms that....I was hungry and all I wanted was some pancakes, and maybe some of their homemade corned beef hash I have heard so much about..,.. Well the only pancake combos they have come with eggs....I didn't want eggs....Also the combos only come with 3 pancakes whereas the pancake entrees come with six.... I was hungry so I went with the six....I asked the server how much corned beef hash was to add as a side (it is not listed on the menu which is strange), and she told me almost 6 bucks....It was 5-something.....Well I thought that was a little too steep so I added the bacon at $4+ ...... I got peanut butter pancakes which are basically regular pancakes with pb morsels on top....I also added a medium grapefruit juice,,,, Pancakes were good...Juice was good....And their bacon is some of the best around - thick slices with a smokey flavor cooked about perfect.... Bill was $15.66...I tipped $3.00 Very good over all but too pricey....$18 or 19 dollars for breakfast is too pricey imo....This is why I don't go there that often..... I also should say I went there very hungry...After eating this I felt like I could have eaten more....Not cool for that price. 3 stars because of unfair pricing, read more

Depressing decor, with peeling wall paper and flies in my face. I ordered the swedish pancakes, they brought 3 huge shamee looking crepes that were bigger than the plate. All crusty on the edges, then a side dish of fruit, very underwhelming. My wife order blueberry pancakes that were dry and dense and the opposite of fluffy. Very expensive, the tiny cups of coffee was $2.60 and my sons little OJ in a small dixie cup was $3.50. Our order came to $47 for bad food and terrible atmoshphere with old motel artwork. This was the first time we were here in 6 years, it will have to change owners for me to come back. read more

They have vegan pancakes! They taste great! In terms of toast options, it's either white or wheat (no multigrain or others). Inside it reminds me of a cafeteria. The blinds are always dusty. They do have booths along the walls and then dining tables in the middle. It looks like you're in an old fashioned house with old wall paper and knick knacks hanging up read more

With there with a party of 6, and was seated fairly quickly for a party that size. Very nice and cozy pancake house,with a very friendly staff. Gave our kids crayons with coloring paper, which is always good touch. My friends ordered omletes which were huge and tasty. I ordered the bacon pancake which is delicious and had a great amount of pancakes. Overall we had a great experience, our waitress took care of us and was polite, even though her other table were being rude and obnoxious to her. Can't wait to back! read more

It's always a delight to come to the Pancake House for breakfast - we don't go often, so it's a real treat when we do. I like to praise them on how real their ingredients are; actual cream for tea, good jam. But it's not just the little things that make this place great. Whatever you end up ordering, be it pancakes or an omlette, the food is always fantastic!! I hardly consider myself a big eater (meaning I would probably be better off with smaller portioned meals), but I can always find room for their Blueberry Pancakes and a side of delicious hash. The service is always wonderful, and I honestly believe the Pancake House is always worth going to. read more
