    Not very toasted toast
    Mario B.

    Service at atmosphere lovely. However I was seated by a qindow that had a few dead fruit flies and the toast my wife ordered was hardly toasted. Other than that; nice place

    OJ

    The Original Pancake House is one of my favorite go to breakfast places. I really appreciate that they utilize fresh ingredients such as fresh squeezed Oj and pancakes from scratch. They have such a cozy atmosphere and each time I've dined in, staff has been kind, attentive and efficient- especially on weekends when they get busy! If going on a weekend, i'd recommend getting there a tad earlier as wait times can get long, just fyi. My menu favorites include coffee, oj, bacon, and the fruit pancakes which are served with fresh whipped cream nanas, strawberries, and strawberry syrup. Would recommend, especially if you have a sweet tooth! Overall, I would recommend stopping here if you're looking for a fresh breakfast with a lot of menu variety!

    The Original Pancake never disappoints. We arrived before 8am on this particular Saturday so we didn't have to wait for a table. If we have waited another hour, the wait would have been crazy. After we were seated, our server came quickly and brought us our drinks. The coffee is always delicious. I ordered the breakfast burrito. The chorizo packed some nice heat, which I really appreciated. The avocado spread offset the spicy chorizo perfectly, while the potatoes added the crunchy component the plate needed. It had been a few years since I had been here but I'm happy to see it's as reliable as ever.

    This spot is one of my parents' favorites and they have unbeatable crepes. I've seen more GF options on the menu which is cool, but I'd love to see more dairy free options or dairy alternatives on the menu in the future. The service was great and it was a very neighborhood/locals kind of vibe inside. Always happy to grab brunch here when I visit.

    So we went to the original pancake house last weekend in Cincinnati & definitely had to try it again this weekend. Let me just say, it was delicious & definitely made me search to see if they have some in my area too! (Which they do! have 3 locations in Indy! Nice!) Josh was the best server, he was hilarious & kept everything full & fresh! The place has a lot of booths, but does have some tables as well, we requested a table cause booths just aren't as comfortable for us & we waited a few minutes, but it was worth the wait! I got the apple pancake & it was good, but too big to eat it all. Which is a good thing, my friend got the corn beef hash, she said it was delicious! Definitely a great place to try!

    Ham and cheese omelette with English muffin

    First visit with a party of five to this restaurant in 2026. Sunday morning for brunch, just a short wait of 15 minutes in a busy establishment. Service was quick, friendly and accommodating. We sat in a booth near the front door but didn't notice any drafts or crowding from waiting customers. We ordered a variety of dishes to include silver dollar pancakes, Dutch baby, Swedish pancakes, ham and cheese omelette, eggs with biscuits and gravy, stuffed crepes. Sides included orange juice, buttermilk pancakes and a fountain drink. All servings were served on china, with stainless silverware and cloth napkins. All servings came quickly, were hot and large, worth the price. Everyone enjoyed their food with only two comments for improvement, one being the biscuits were too thick for the amount of gravy served and the Dutch baby was a bit undercooked. Aluminum containers were provided for leftovers, which warmed up nicely. There are several pancake restaurants in the area, this one scores as one of the best. Our bill including tax and gratuity came to $127.15.

    Bacon brunt

    This place is horrible from the out dated establishment to the nasty ass food!! The service is even more unprofessional. Once I informed my server of my experience she sent over the manager named Amy. Amy's approach was extremely nasty and uncalled for. Amy is the most ugliest unprofessional representation of her staff. This is my first and last time. I could have went to IHOP!!

    Banana brown sugar French toast

    I've always been a big fan of OHOP, but this is one of my favorites and we always go to it whenever we visit Milwaukee. Love the old house vibe in the outside and inside and the service is always friendly and fast. Food is great and huge portions which makes up for the bill being more than I'm used to for breakfast. I nearly always get the French toast and the bacon is the best bacon you'll have at any breakfast place. My son ordered the potato pancakes and everyone loved them.

    Great stop here again. The wait was less than they told us. Our server was friendly and attentive (brought water and coffee as needed). Food was hot and delicious.

    Do they serve hash browns?

    No, the serve country potatoes

    Is there a waitlist or can you call ahead?

    Unfortunately there is nothing available over the phone. You have to physically come in and put your name on the waitlist. You can however call and ask how long the wait is.

    Can anyone tell me what brand of sharp/aged cheddar is used here? I love it and want to find it for myself.

    Do you guys have a volunteer service in the Brookfield location?

    Unfortunately we do not.

A few things important to note, you order at the counter and then select your table. If you order drip coffee, you get that yourself after you pay. There are extra napkins and silverware in the dining room. It is appreciated if you bus your own table. There is a bin between the dining room and bar area. They have a cute area with items for sale like local candles and body lotion. We enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning soon!

Being that it's winter I have to wash our jackets immediately after to rid the smell. I haven't seen many reviews that mention it though, do others not notice it?

Unfortunately this is my daughter's favorite spot, and I can't deny that the food, drinks, and chocolates are great which are mentioned in detail in everyone else's reviews. Service is hit or miss depending on who's working but can generally expect it to be cold. However, all the people who work there work extremely hard in a tight space to take orders and cook. Perhaps they aren't trying to be rude but are just busy. I do want to recommend the tomato and basil soup. It's so good and comes with a delicious cheese toast. It's the best when the cheese is melted off the bread and crispy! You can get an extra cheese toast for $2.

My friend got an omelette, which she enjoyed. The service...that is the one thing that still needs improvement. I've already shared my feedback with the manager a few weeks back regarding one certain employee who is unfortunately very unfriendly and straight up rude. The manager knew exactly who I'm referring to and was supposed to "address it", however when I was there last week the girl was still there and her attitude/behavior seemed unchanged. Other girls working there are very nice and friendly though! Easy street parking! I will be back!

I believe it is in a building that used to have Point Burger Bar. The Brunch Berry owners had decorated the new restaurant with a classy, chic French rustic look. I really liked the decor of the restaurant. Something to note - because the space is so open it is very loud in there and hard to have a conversation. We arrived around 9:00 a.m. and while the lot was pretty full, we were able to find a spot open to park fairly quickly. We were seated right away and served ice water and cream puffs. The staff were friendly and took our drink order right away. It took us a while to decide on what to get but once we did our food came out really quickly.
