    Biscuit and Gravy Breakfast - offered Fri, Sat, and Sun while they last
    Melanie B.

    This place is not that far from our house, but we had never been here! We tried a few weeks ago and it was packed and so many people were waiting for tables, that we left and decided to try again another time. We got there around 8:00 on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately. There were people there, but there were plenty of tables still available. Everything inside was very clean. I mean clean clean. My husband and I both noticed - and mentioned - it. The menu is huge! We were working our way through it when our server, Terrie, came over. She helped us make decisions about what to order. She was a great server and was attentive and friendly the entire time we were there. We would definitely ask to be seated in her section next time we go! We over ordered! The portions are generous. But everything we had was really good and I don't regret one bite. We will most certainly be back again!

    The food here is always good. We ordered the banana pancakes, and get ready for a generous serving! The plate was full of pancakes We also had a fajita skillet (which comes with a side of 3 pancakes) and a side of bacon which were both excellent. I personally love reserving our spot on the waitlist early and getting updates on our place in the queue. It makes it so easy to know when to head over to the restaurant and check in.

    Triple Berry Waffle

    Team breakfast after a Saturday morning softball game brought us here. They were able to seat us pretty quickly for the size of our party. Service was great as well. My middle daughter ordered the Triple Berry Waffle and we shared The Bacon Works platter. They didn't have a platter with the waffle and adding a la cart can get pricey. The Triple Berry waffle was so good! The amount of fruit they put on it is pretty impressive. It tasted more like dessert than breakfast. I got the French toast instead of the pancakes because I'm honestly not a fan of their pancakes, but I loved the Brioche French toast. I'm a non pork eater but my daughter loved the bacon. I did like that they have turkey and chicken sausage on their menu which I'll have to try in the future. My husband ordered the corned beef hash with over easy eggs. They came with 3 pancakes. While he enjoyed the corn beef, he was also not a fan of the pancakes. My youngest daughter ordered the chorizo omelet and upgraded her pancakes to the chocolate chip ones. She enjoyed both. Overall, great outing. Looking forward to trying new things in the future.

    We shared the eggs and bacon breakfast and the gluten free strawberry pancakes. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The bacon is thick and crispy which was phenomenal. The regular stack of pancakes were delicious. The star was the gluten free strawberry pancakes. It's hard to tell they are gluten free. They were fabulously delicious. We got excellent service sitting at the bar. Special Note: they have an online waitlist you can join before you leave your home that can save you wait time at the restaurant. Fun breakfast place.

    Service was excellent and restaurant was clean and well lit. They have a varied menu and plenty of delicious options. Husband had a ham and cheese omelet and loved it , said it was light , fluffy and full of cheese and ham. I had the biscuits and gravy , gravy was delicious but I wasn't a fan of the biscuit because it had cheese in it and didn't seem baked all the way to my liking, hash browns were crispy and delicious.

    I brought my daughter to this location for our first visit and our experience was amazing! We were greeted by a friendly hostess as soon as we walked in, and we were immediately sat. Our waitress Brooke was kind and attentive. I mentioned that it was our first time visiting, and Brooke gave us samples of their freshly squeezed orange juice, which was very tasty. I chose the corn beef and hash with three buttermilk pancakes, but really wanted to try their potato pancake, so Brooke brought me out a potato pancake to try and it was so good! The restaurant and restrooms were clean and had the look of a lodge. Our food came out fast and it was delicious!

    The parking lot has a lot of parking which was nice. It was nice to be able to join the waitlist prior to arrival but I don't know that it actually worked well. We waited for more than an hour to get our table. I should note that this was a Sunday morning at brunch time. Our server was wonderful. My friend ordered a small orange juice and they didn't have any chilled glasses so she got a medium and did not pay an up charge. The food was good and the portions were large. The ambiance was what you would expect of a busy brunch spot but, surprisingly not too loud.

    Short stack bacon pancakes plus egg over medium and hash browns.

    One of my favs!!! Plenty of parking. Use the yelp waitlist or be ready to wait. Peak times can be 70-100 minutes of bonding time with your party. Service is excellent. Food quality and taste is excellent. The fresh squeezed OJ hits different. Maybe it's the quality of their oranges but it always tastes so fresh and sweet. My fav is the hash brown. So crispy and delicious. Get it every time. The sausage. Patty and links are so good. Both have such amazing flavor. The eggs are cooked perfectly. The pancakes are always delish! Highly recommend.

    Made a trip to the Original Pancake House (OPH) in Chesterfield, MO. Our visit came on a Thursday morning and was able to get seating during the breakfast rush. Our server saw we were all running on empty and loaded us up with fresh coffee while we reviewed the menu. I was informed OPH provides hearty portions and everything on the menu is delicious. I have to admit I was intimidated by the diverse menu but felt comfortable going for something new. We ordered several variations of crepes with traditional breakfast dishes, ham and bacon with eggs. Meals came with a side of delicious buttermilk pancakes. Syrup was served hot and not too sweet. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned and our server kept the coffee flowing. Original Pancake House can meet any pallet and prices are very reasonable. Service was awesome and decor reminded me of a comfortable log cabin. Great experience and looking forward to another visit this winter. Highly recommend anyone looking for a hearty breakfast, great service stop on by

    Ask the Community - The Original Pancake House

    Do they still have a waitlist?

    Yes, we are Switching to Toast which is linked through our website OPHMO.com or Google.

    Is the staff wearing masks ? Is there adequate social distancing?

    The other response is correct. But also, menus are replaced with disposable paper versions. Salt and pepper comes in packets. Also you have to wait in your car before until you can be seated, they don't want people bunched up in a waiting area.… 

    Do they take reservations?

    You can "get a place in line" by using the yelp app.. I don't think they take reservations tho.

You can also find traditional steak and chicken dishes if that's more your thing. I like YaYa's because the atmosphere and food alike feel elevated yet still approachable. Service here is full-service and polished - bordering on fine-dining. Servers wear button down shirts and a tie. Although there's no strict dress-code enforced, most people dining here will be a bit dressed up depending on the occasion they're celebrating. You'll be just fine in nice jeans here too. We frequent for date night and don't veer far from the Chicken Gnocchi appetizer, Spinach Salad, Chicken Penne, Shrimp Risotto, and Filet. Their Scallops dish is good here too that comes with Saffron Orzo. They will bring out delicious bread and Baba Ghanoush at the beginning of your meal. I could make a meal just out of the Baba Ghanoush it is addicting! The Chicken Gnocchi is an appetizer but could easily be an entrée. The chocolate soufflé dessert takes about 30 minutes so be sure to tell your server ahead of time if you have something sweet in mind. The Buttercake dessert is good as well but super rich. We went for dinner last night and could tell something was off with both the Front-of-House and Kitchen. Lights on higher than normal, staff members appeared a bit frantic including the host, and the food did not visually look how it normally comes out nor did it taste exactly right. Some things oversalted. I don't want to rate 4 stars instead based on yesterday's experience since overall we've had a 5 star experience the past years coming here but this night specifically felt subpar.

Our friend ordered the mezze plate which included pita points, crackers, whole rainbow carrots, and celery with three dips that included whipped feta, hummus, and a red pepper hummus. They also brought out their delicious fresh bread with baba ghanoush. The bread is so perfect that it doesn't even need any type of spread. I ordered the side spinach salad, which was a refreshing way to start my meal. I decided on the five cheese pizza with olive oil and it was very good and very rich. I was only able to eat two slices. My dining companions ordered pizza and pasta dishes. Everyone was very happy with their meal. I concluded my meal with a phyllo wrapped brownie that came with chocolate sauce, fresh raspberries, and cream. It basically looks like a brownie burrito. It's quite decadent and I enjoyed it. My dining companions ordered an after-dinner, espresso drink, and another friend ordered the bread pudding, both with happy outcomes. I'm looking forward to coming back to try brunch.
