This is a solid breakfast option. The food is good, but not great, and is consistent in the way of chain restaurants. We popped in right at 7 one morning before work and actually beat the server and the hostess there. The staff was friendly and mostly left us alone but for frequent coffee refills, and the food was about what I expected from a restaurant that is basically a different version of IHOP. The bacon was thick and crispy and way better quality than anticipated and the over easy eggs were cooked perfectly, which is rare. The protein and buckwheat pancakes were nice surprises on the menu and were quite tasty. The neighborhood has a dearth of true weekday breakfast places, and this is a nice option. It's also huge and could easily accommodate a large crowd. read more

Most important EVERYTHING is made from scratch and locally sourced, farm to table. Out of this world delicious!! Ordering the Florentine Benadict fresh tomato, spinach, and the best hollandaise sauce I've tasted. It comes with a side of french toast, made with fresh brioche brought it daily from a Baltimore bakery. Thick cut and the center tasted like creamy custard, paired with homemade strawberry syrup and fresh whipped cream. We also tried the Shrimp Skillet, fresh jumbo shrimp on potatoes with avocado, spinach, peppers and two eggs your way. There is a wide selection of all things delicious on the menu that will definitely have us coming back for more!! Our server Kate was awesome!! She made excellent and honest recommendations such as the Florentine Benedict hyping the up French toast as it deserves. OPH closes daily at 2:30 but you'll want to get there early, certain menu items are made to order and will be a 30 - 45 minute wait. They are also happy to accommodate large parties! read more

One of my favorite places to go to for a nice, fulfilling breakfast! I went here on a late Sunday morning and got seated right away. My orange juice was freshly squeezed. I had a Belgium waffle with hash brown, bacon and scrambled eggs. Everything came out hot and was absolutely delicious! read more

Keeping in mind that this is a chain restaurant, the food is actually pretty good. The vegetables in the omelette were fresh as were the blueberries in the pancakes. The pancakes did have an odd flavor, maybe baking powder/baking soda, which is a shame because otherwise they would have been really good. read more

I swung by last Thursday morning after hearing great things about this restaurant. It was very quiet inside with only about 4 other parties seated. It took a little bit for us to flag someone down to be seated. The interior has a rustic diner feel. It almost felt like there was construction needed in some parts of the inside. The ceiling is covered in exposed pipes and some of the decor felt dated. There were both booths and tables to choose from. It looked like there used to be a bar inside but was clearly no longer in use. Our server said almost no words. Despite being mildly unfriendly, she did take our orders quickly. After our food came out she never checked on us & we had to flag her down for the check. I got the eggs benedict, the English muffin was chewy & very hard to cut through. The hollandaise was a funky consistency but tasted great. I wish the poached egg was runny in the middle but both were overcooked. The pancakes were the highlight as they were light and fluffy. My friends chicken sandwich was standard. read more

Met up with friends for a mid week brunch and had a blast. Everything is scratch made and delicious. Lot's of great options and they add new items pretty regularly. Most recently crepes. Portions are generous. Outstanding service and location. read more

A service was fantastic! As always, the food was delicious. We went here for two days in a row. Anytime we are in this area. We will be sure to stop by for breakfast at least once! read more

We recently attended for a friend's birthday for a hearty breakfast. Our server Johnny was amazing!! He had a beautiful spirit and was so patient with our table. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The portions are big for the price point. I was so full and did not eat again for the remainder of the day. I can't wait to return again. read more

The Original Pancake House - Home Fries omelette Side 4 Sausage patty Buckwheat pancakes - Short orderpancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I really wanted a country fried steak and this is one of the very few places that had it on the menu. Portions here are huge, but just ok. The country fried steak was nice and crispy and I appreciate that it came with an option of French toast. read more

We ordered delivery from OPH over the weekend. The service was pretty quick and when the driver got here, the food was still pretty warm. I had the sausage biscuits and gravy, which came with a side of hash browns and a choice of pancakes: I got the pumpkin ones. The biscuits were good, the gravy was a little odd tasting, and the sausage is a patty on the biscuit rather than mixed into the gravy. Personally, I think the gravy could have had more seasoning (salt and pepper), but it was overall tasty and I ate the whole thing. My partner ordered the country fried steak and eggs with blueberry pancakes. He said it was delicious and he was really pleased with the pancakes. Based on other reviews, it seems like the food quality is the same dining in as doing pickup or delivery. And those reviews mention the inside decor isn't the best, so next time, we'll likely pickup so we can get it fresher. read more

I ordered the "Pancake Works". Definitely no issue when it comes to portions sizes. The only thing I disliked were the Eggs. I like them scrambled, but they come out a little runny every time. The sweet tea is AMAZING! If you are from Baltimore and familiar with good bodega (carry out) sweet tea or half & half... it's THAT GOOD! The service is ok. Sometimes that waiter/waitress will forget about you. Other than that it's a cool spot. Better than IHOP or nasty Bob Evans. read more

I will say the service here was a highlight. Our server was very friendly, which made the experience bearable. The food was just okay, and there was just so much going on in the dining area. It was hard to enjoy. They don't take reservations, so be prepared for a wait if you come during peak hours. GLOWS: -Our server was great. GROWS: -Leaking ceiling was already a red flag at the front desk. -The french toast was not good at all. -The dining room was slightly uncomfortable. The way the booths were positioned and the space between the tables and chairs was odd. -There were lots of loud kids, lots of coughing , and overall I was just ready to go (not so much a restaurant issue, but it speaks to the crowd present) read more

Came in on a gloomy Tuesday for some pancakes . A friend of mine had mentioned this place , so I figured I give it a try . Came in around noon and the place was empty, yet very clean. The smell of hot pancakes was every where . . I ordered the 2x2x3 meal (pancakes , eggs and sausage ) and it was just okay . The pancakes had a weird after taste to it that I couldn't quite out my finger on . My scrambled eggs could have been scrambled a tab bit harder and was sausage was great as is. Overall my food was just okay . My friend said his waffle was on point ! So basically the food was okay ( not bad nor great) . Our waitress was nice and attentive . I would come back just to try other items like their French toast read more

A-maz-ing. I've been going since the soft opening several years ago. We tend to buy takeout more these days but it's still open for dine-in. The Dutch Baby is decadent, and large enough to fill even a hungry stomach. As a dish to share it's great... fun to create (you mix in the ingredients in the middle at the table) and easy to share. The omelets are huge! The veggie omelet is chock full of well cooked tasty veggies. I usually get the cheese omelet but i tried the Mediterranean omelet recently and it was pretty darn tasty as well. The banana pancakes are batter mixed with banana... not just banana and egg. Just FYI since some people are used to not much flour/batter in banana pancakes. The standard buttermilk pancakes are fantastic as well. The toast is well prepared, but it's still just toast. If your entree gives an option for the pancakes or toast, get the pancake The chicken crepes are savory and tasty. The potato pancakes paired well with the dish. The bacon is great - but we prefer them extra crispy. The home fries are cooked to a soft consistency... but you can order them crispy if you want. The hashbrowns are decent, and also can be ordered extra crispy. The fries are the best potato option by far. The coffee is 'ok'... they now have dairy free creamers! To go orders are packaged well. They separate the home fries from the omelets and pancakes so they don't get soggy. Update 4: Obviously I come here ALOT. You should as well. Everything is well prepared and the prices are very reasonable. Order to go for pickup, or use a food delivery app, or come sit down and dine-in... you can't go wrong. read more

This only happens to me: I walk in and I'm standing by the front door. This gorgeous woman is walking towards me. She smiles and says hi. I say, one please. I follow her and she was a customer! I start laughing, small talk happens and finally someone escorts me to a booth. Once I'm seated, it's go time. Coffee is poured and my order is placed. Pecan pancakes with sausage. While I'm waiting for my breakfast, The Original Pancake House looks like it needs a refreshing. Dark woods and an empty, dusty bar isn't very inviting. But it seems the place is jumpin' with lots of customers. My food comes to the table. I'm told there are two syrups, one is tropical fruit and the other is warm syrup. Put it all together and that was one tasty way to start my day. Warm, comfort food at its finest. The slogan is, pancakes as you like them. My breakfast was really good, I'm glad I stopped in. My lady friend? After she pays her bill she comes to my table and tells me have a nice day. Baltimore is a beautiful city read more

My husband and I visited OPH last weekend, overall it was an enjoyable experience. We made sure to get there early, to avoid the weekend crowds. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We both ordered omelettes and pancakes. The omelettes were very hearty and delicious. My pancakes were good, thought they'd be a little better tasting, considering where we were. I'll try to visit again soon, and try the waffle. read more

For convenience, you cannot beat a pancake house nestled in a mall! Everything on the menu looks amazing and I can speak to the pumpkin - which I had in March because why not?! - and they were light and fluffy. Honestly, it felt like we should've been at a beach area or on vacation just because of the mood - and that wasn't a bad thing! Service was friendly and quick. Come hungry and walk around the mall afterward! read more

My mom and I had brunch today and the food was delicious. The waitress, Heather, provided good customer service. The Ambiance was 8/10. The gratuity for 2 people of 18% should not have been added to the bill. If the service was any thing different from what was added, an adjustment would have been made. read more

Consistently good food and service. It's always busy but we've never had to wait more than five minutes for a table.

Food has no taste food was cold. Service was slow. My 3rd time here still not impressed with food or Service. Building needs a good cleaning read more

The food is always so good and hot. The prices are perfect for the portion you receive. The service is always fast once you get seated. The only con would be when there's a wait, since the seating is a little small. The ambiance gives off old diner vibes, but its super cute. This place will always be a recommendation! Love this place so much when it comes to a good breakfast. I'm excited to try the French toast next. The pancakes and waffles are AMAZING!! Always a hard choice to choose loll read more

This is a re-review to start with. This place is just wonderful to visit, the last visit was really good and this one was no exception. Started with the coffee, a bottomless cup that was just right. My husband had the Meatlovers omelet, it was beyond huge and none of the meat was skimped on, plus it had a core of molten cheddar cheese. This came with a side of choice, he chose the home fries, also fresh and hot and a good sized serving of them. I had the seniors French toast meal with 2 sausage links and scrambled eggs. It was again generous portions. Excellent. Both of us had to take some home to enjoy later. Service was excellent. We will be back for sure. read more

Always good service and great food! We were at the location in Fells Point on a Sunday and fortunately missed the rush.

Customer service was great. I can't remember our server's name but she was nice and knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered a the Georgia Pecan Pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancakes were thin but tasty. They came with tropical syrup, which I didn't enjoy at all. It was fruity and had chunks of what I believe were pineapples in it. The pancakes were much better with the plain syrup. The bacon (not pictured) was cooked to perfection IMO- it wasn't too crispy. I'm sure I'll visit again in the future because this location is within walking distance of my house and it is super convenient. read more

We arrived around 11 on a Friday. If you don't like crowds, this is a good time. Pretty decent size with mix of booth and regular tables & outdoor seating. First time here so wasn't sure what to order as there were so many breakfast/brunch items to choose from-overwhelming in a good way. (Saw Swedish pancakes and Crepes) We ordered a couple of the Two by Two by Three. Hash Browns and Home Fries were tasty and the special recipe sausage was excellent. Pancakes were fluffy and classic buttermilk pancakes didn't disappoint. The chocolate chip pancakes were over the top! (No syrup necessary) Ordered the Corned Beef Hash as a side and liked it-very rich and decadent and would say this one would be better as a meal with the potato pancakes (Corned Beef Hash and Egg) Service was attentive and overall excellent! Morgan took great care of us! Canton breakfast spot that has a local feel (although we found out they are a chain.) We will be back! read more

Great family place. To my brothers family and my mom. The kids loved it. Oversized omelets. Pancakes were fluffy. I've already been back!

Not sure if this is THE original pancake house but I'm such a fan of this establishment! High quality pancakes, waffles, and any sort of egg and potato breakfast/brunch dish you can think of! They are located in the can company building with a dedicated parking lot which makes it very easy to get to. Very kid friendly, and the inside is very open and airy. The service is always fast and efficient. No alcohol on the menu but they have good coffee and juices. My favorite dish: strawberry pancakes! read more

Came to Maryland to visit fam and we went here for brunch on a Saturday. It was 8 of us so we waited for a bit to be seated. She told us 10 min wait time, but we waited over 30 mins. First time here, food was good. The best freshly squeezed orange juice I've had in a while. There was no doubt that it was fresh. I had a cup of hot chocolate, that was Ok, wouldn't get that again. For food, I had the meat lovers omelette. It was definitely FILLED with meat and it was HUGEEE as you can see in the pic. My sister had the strawberry French toast, which was OK. French Toast could have been a bit more hot though. I got a biscuit just to try, HUGEEE in size but was dry. Wouldn't get that again either. We also had the pecan pancakes. Those were great! Very light and filled with pecans. read more

As a lover of breakfast foods, Original Pancake House (OPH) was on my list of places to dine at. I came in around 1 pm on a Wednesday afternoon and it was pretty empty (as I expected). As soon as I sat at my table, one of the first things I realized was that the salt or pepper bottles were empty. Knowing that the servers must clean the tables after each customer, it surprises my that no one cared to refill/replace these essential bottles. Even worse, the table right next to me also had no salt and pepper in the bottles. That aside, I ordered a vanilla iced coffee ($2.99). There were free refills, which was great. When the ice coffee came out, it looked watery from all the melted ice, but to my surprise, actually tasted pretty good. I also appreciated that they give your milk or cream in a little pourer so you can add as much as you want to your own liking. I also ordered the Coconut pancake (3 for $6.99). The pancakes were topped with slightly toasted coconut shreds which always adds a nice texture. The pancakes itself were delicious. They were fluffy and had a subtle coconut flavor to them by itself. The pancakes also came with whipped butter, maple syrup, and a tropical sauce, which was reminiscent of an orange marmalade, with a bitter taste from the orange rinds - personally, not my favorite... I had also ordered the Eggs Benedict with a side of home fries ($11.99). To me, I feel like they sprinted salt over the home fries, so some parts were extremely salt, while others were tolerable. The poached egg was only slightly overcooked, but honestly nothing to complain about since it was still runny and I know it can be difficult to poach an egg just right. What really got to me was the hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise sauce lacked the acidity to pair with the richness of the egg and the Canadian bacon. In fact, what really threw me off, was an onion flavor in the sauce... On the other hand, the service was great. The server was very kind and welcoming. She even let me take an ice coffee to go. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The prices were very acceptable. This is a nice place to go out for brunch with your friends and/or family. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

It was disorganized and needed a serious cleaning. We didn't even bother to sit and eat. We really wanted to give it a chance but booth were sticky.

Walked in and got sat immediately, tables are a good size we did order 6 or 7 plates between us. Not including the drinks and we still had room.

Went here for a quick breakfast with some friends. I'll start with the positives-- the staff was so friendly! Very attentive and helpful about questions surrounding the menu. I ordered the avocado toast and she even brought me a cup of fruit because it took a little longer than the rest of my friends meals. Unfortunately, the food was very under seasoned for my taste. I felt the need to add salt and pepper to the majority of my food in order to enjoy it to the fullest extent. In addition, the avocado toast was advertised as being on ciabatta bread, but it came on a hoagie roll which was a little peculiar. The home fries had a nice crisp to them and my friends did enjoy their pancakes. They were fluffy and satisfying. The chocolate chips were the perfect amount of melty which was super yum. Overall, it was a decent meal with great service but the food just fell a little short in the seasonings department in my opinion. read more
