    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.

    Banana pancakes, about 8-9 per serving!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Food was amazing! I had been disappointed with our food for most of the trip, but this def changed my mind! We had a big party, and service was great, food came out quick! Everyone was pleased and FULL by the time we finished.

    This is always our go to place when we are celebrating a birthday or a special occasion! The service is wonderful and the food never disappoints. The portions are large and many times we end up bringing some leftovers home. One thing I would highly recommend, particularly on the weekends, it's to join the waitlist. The place gets mobbed between like 9 and 11:30-12 in our own experience. The wait then can be well over an hour, so definitely join the waitlist if you can. I always get the Swedish pancakes, but when we walked in this time, there was a huge sign saying pumpkin pancakes, so that is what I went with, and they did not disappoint! My son did get them though so I have to have a bit of his. His girlfriend got bacon pancakes, and my husband got some sort of eggs and bacon dish. They all raved that the bacon is the best they have ever had! It is a wonderful place to go to celebrate or just to go when you were looking for a great breakfast!

    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.… Read more

    Do they take reservations?

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

    Very popular and interesting restaurant with a few locations in the Midwest. Food is American…read moreversion of Mediterranean, which is a great combination. Management puts a lot of attention into quality of food, service, and the dining experience. One detail is the bread service and no corners are cut with delicious fresh baked bread and some type of spread that is delicious but I have no idea what it was. One reason the restaurant is so popular is the bar area where they cook the pizzas and prepare the drinks is very inviting and blends into the dining room which spills into the outdoor patio. It is a very nice layout that creates an environment of hospitality. This is the second time I've eaten in as many locations and the service has been professional and good. Management takes time to make sure the staff is well trained. Although this is a chain, management takes great care to provide a good experience for the guests and everything seems homemade.

    YaYa's is so good. If you just go and sit and have the Baba Ghanoush, you can be happy! I love it…read morewith the fresh dribble of oil and that warm fluffy bread, it is craveable. I pretty much get the same thing every time, I cannot help it. That Free - Range Chicken is super flavorful. With crispy potato, roasted garlic, olives, chilies, caper berries, and pan jus. Lick the plate good. I am not a dessert person, see Baba Ghanoush info above! But I have to mention the Buttercake as we cannot go to YaYa's without one of the members of my family ordering at least one slice. Fresh baked buttercake, house made whipped cream, vanilla bean ice cream, fresh berries, and caramel sauce. I don't understand it but they always talk about it. Service here is always on point, food is always fantastic, it is a lively place
