I was just there with my sister, and we had such a good time! The food came out very quickly and was so delicious. We had the most amazing service, our server was so friendly and kind! We really enjoyed the older vibes of the restaurant, and will be returning one day! read more

We LOVE this place and have only had stellar experiences here. Our server today was Ashley, and she was phenomenal. It was very busy today, and she was still incredibly attentive and quick on her feet. The food was great, as always - I got my usual salmon scramble and chocolate chip pancakes. The place is clean, the staff is kind, the bathrooms are well stocked and maintained. I have only good things to say. read more

Ive been to many OPH's before, but this was a first for this EP location. My husband and I both sat at the bar (a pro-tip for small groups of like 1-3). We ordered the salmon scramblers with hashbrowns & they tasted great, but looks horrid lol. They were a bit too wet in the middle, and felt uncooked.. we joked that we couldnt look at the food while eating, but it was actually really tasty! Im not sure if presentation could be changed, but just not what we expected! We loved our server, she was kind and filled our coffee's super quick! Would probably come back but try something different! read more

Enjoyed my brunch here. I love the gluten free pancakes and omelet options. I recommend joining the waitlist online prior to arrival especially on weekends. read more

Reliable place to great traditional breakfast. So glad it's conveniently located. They have waitlist you can put yourself on but no reservations unless you're a party of 5 or more. Generous portions and delicious. We have tried everything. The only recommendation would be to not overcook the omelets but otherwise highly recommend. Great community feel with snuggly situated tables but nice bustling feel. read more

We were visiting from California. There's a short wait but not bad. Excellent pancakes and service. We went back the next day. Highly recommend. I later learned you can make a reservation. read more

I lived in the area for five years, when I drive by the thing to note is this place is almost always seem to have a packed parking lot. Finally indulging for no good reason - I understand why. Seating is reasonable, I've been to some places where you're six inches from your neighbor - yikes. The bathroom and overall it seems clean - it doesn't smell like a grease diner. Breakfast WAS delicious and delivered very promptly despite it being busy. Our waiter was absolutely on point, refilling water and coffee to our bellies content. We wanted for nothing. The food was fresh and mostly hot - pancakes are fluffy and great lived up to the name. For two adults and one child plus a solid tip for the great service ... was over $80 - be ready for that or be price conscious when you're looking at the menu. Outside of that, I will absolutely be back ... try them out. Be prepared to wait for a table during busy times. read more

Our family celebrates birthdays with birthday pancakes. After 50 years of making them for everybody else, I invited RC to join me and the grandson for OPH breakfast. I don't actually eat pancakes, so I had my favorite Corned Beef Hash and two eggs. Surprisingly, they came on separate plates, so I slid the eggs onto my hash and gave the server the extra plate. Delicious, as always. RC ordered the steak and eggs and demolished his. Grand JE ordered pancakes and devoured his short stack and four glasses of milk. Boy loves milk. It's always busy but especially on weekends, so we were prepared to wait, but it was only 10 minutes. The hostess takes your phone number to text when your table is ready but shouts out the names anyway. Whatever works! read more

I had a meeting here with a good friend, and this is an established breakfast spot that is very well-known. It actually has been a favorite of mine for over 20 years, so it was great to return. I used to live much closer. I had the Meat Lovers omelette today. It was delicious as I knew it would be. This location has some of the best bacon you'll ever eat anywhere. The service is always first rate and today we were blessed to have Jamie as our server. She was so fun and I was buying and we did a bit of a joke on my friend so that he wouldn't be able to refuse my gift to him. I told Jamie that I thought many people would return to have her as their server. She was great. This place continued to exceed my expectations in every way, and is one of the best places for breakfast in the entire Twin Cities. I'm planning on scheduling myself in this area more so that I can be a more frequent guest. read more

The pancakes tasted like fresh bread, with genuine article of maple syrup. However, it was a little too rich when combined together. Service was quick and consider it. The place has a crowd with a pleasant roar of an active location. Photos of chefs line the walls, celebrating the staff. read more

I had the Bacon and Cheese Soufflé Omelette with a side of Pancakes! I have never had an omelette like this before. It was packed full of thick cut bacon and your choice of cheese. This was my first time and I will most definitely be back! Service was great! Everyone was friendly and helpful. It was a full afternoon here but the staff was quick to clean tables and keep the restaurant neat and tidy. read more

My daughter and I haven't been to The Original Pancake House in a while and I was hankering for some pancakes. I wasn't disappointed and my daughter loved her crepes and hash browns but the service - oh my... our server kind of disappeared on us. Never came back to ask how our food was or if we needed a refill on drinks. My daughter had to flag down another server just to get some butter for the hash browns and to go containers. Cara T. - time for you to find yourself another job 'cause serving customer just isn't your gig. read more

If you believe breakfast is sacred, then The Original Pancake House is a cathedral of comfort. This is where golden-browned griddles, ladles of nostalgia, and whip-sharp hospitality all meet on one plate. The pancakes? A masterclass in fluff and flavor. The Dutch Baby is a skillet-born marvel--airy edges, custardy center, begging to be drowned in lemon, butter, and powdered sugar. The syrups? A trio of options, all served in steel cups like they're pouring liquid gold. I sampled their signature potato pancakes and a side of thick-cut bacon. Both hit their mark--crispy without losing moisture, savory without trying too hard. The coffee? Old-school, bottomless, and brewed for conversation--not Instagram. Ambiance is diner-warm, with vintage charm and that early-morning buzz that tells you the locals trust this place with their Sunday rituals. You don't come here for innovation--you come here for consistency, warmth, and a breakfast you'll be thinking about long after noon. read more

This was SOOO GOOD!! Very busy, packed. But the staff do a great job and turning the tables and are so kind. The food was delish. Can't wait to go back. read more

Clean bright efficient. Was surprised at some of the prices though. Main breakfast dish for me Swedish pancakes. Pleasantly surprised under $10. I usually add in a side of sausage links. Close to $8 for a side. A bit on the "people don't look at the sides prices. Let's make some $" Go for the food but keep your eyes open read more

Great food. Our server was great! Waitlist issue was annoying and cost us an additional 30 minute wait. read more

On a recent trip to Minneapolis, we ate at the Original Pancake House twice. If you love pancakes, this is absolutely the best place to get them. Service is fast and efficient, and the ambience of the dining rooms is great--even complete with a fire place in one dining area. The menu has so many selections that it might take a while to make a final decision, but whatever choose will be made to order and served in generous portions. In fact, if you clean your plate, you probably won't be hungry again for many hours. The pancakes are always my favorites--served with real maple syrup and butter. The omelets have four eggs and can easily be shared and still have generous portions. The coffee is always fresh and hot, and cups are refilled frequently. The parking lot is huge, and it fills up quickly on the weekend mornings. If you want a hearty breakfast, the Original Pancake House is the place to go. You won't be disappointed. read more

First, they told us it would be around 35 minute wait but I would say it's was more around 15 minutes which is pretty good for Sunday (there busiest day). Our waiter asked for our drinks and food order pretty quickly. Where we were seated was pretty clean aside from a couple scraps on the floor. Loved the energy radiating from this place. The food was mhmm delicious. Definitely coming back so worth it. read more

The dutch baby pancakes are to die for. Pure bliss. Service is always great even when it's busy. Fun atmosphere. Great bacon!

My wife and I were looking for a late breakfast and struck out at the Mall of America. We stumbled onto TOPH as it was right across the freeway from where we were staying. The restaurant was packed, but there were two seats open at their walkup bar. The person managing service behind the counter was Ashley. It was shear entertainment watching her interact with her customers. She was hilarious. We got our food and it was great, but the experience was priceless. We returned the next day and I had the Caramel Banana French Toast. It, of course, was awesome, but the true joy was hanging with Asley and her gang of regulars. We spent the flight home trying to figure out a reason to go back to Minnesota. read more

Love the breakfast here. Used to come here a lot cause it was so good. Like cranberry walnut Carmel pancakes. But the Parking lot can get nuts. People that frequent the place are EP people- the ones with their entitled heads up their butt. Had some jack off hit my truck not once but twice in the parking lot. Makes for a great Sunday vibe. His wife told me to take a chill pill cause they have a baby. That's fine I'm chill you entitled think your a millionaire 30 year old driving a VW. read more

One of the best servers I have ever had. Friendly, efficient and on top of her game - thank you Ashley E. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Sausage (instead of Canadian Bacon) and Hashbrowns. Both were perfectly made and served hot. The eggs were poached perfectly and oozed yolk. Original Pancake House also has the best fresh squeezed orange juice. read more

Forty miner cakes are awesome. They are a little more mom and pop than IHOp and just a little less cracker than Cracker Barrel.

I have been coming to this location for 15 years. The management staff is amazing. The servers are always friendly, polite and helpful. The food is amazing and they have large portions. I ordered the cinnamon French toast. With a side of bacon. If you have never tried this location you're missing out. read more

Easily best breakfast in MN, and not even close! Great, thick meats like crispy bacon. Amazing pancake batter and many fresh fruits. It can be hard to get a table and there's not too much waiting area, but it's worth it! They provide free coffee for people waiting too. read more

This is my happy place! Delicious, plentiful, and wonderful service. We each ordered different items off the menu and shared! Wow! The Northwoods hash-browns, 4 egg omelette, Kijafa Cherry Crepes, thick bacon, and pancakes were everything a breakfast should be! Definitely worth the wait! read more

Brought our grandkids here for a breakfast treat while watching them for the weekend. We and they love this place for food and great service. Looking forward to our next visit!! read more

Wonderful menu featuring seasonal specials. Warm, comfortable ambiance, friendly service. Expect a bit of a wait.

Sat down at the Original Pancake House first thing is first the table is extreamly uneven everytime I would move my arms the table would tip and almost spill my drink. Walls at my very uneven table are very nasty and dirty if the walls are dirty what's that say about the kitchen ? I ordered a cherry coke I'm not sure what she braught me but it was not cherry coke, i did ask her twice to make sure she had cherry coke she assured me she did, however what I recieved was coke with grenadine . I asked for somthing different but I don't think she herd me. I ordered my potato pancake full order I asked for extra sourcream and applesauce but didn't get it. After I asked for my extra sour cream and applesauce I asked for some butter she braught it to me set it on the table and the table move enough to spill my drink she was so focused on another table she didn't realize she did it . Then the thing that pissed me off most she took my plate before I could finish my food . W.T.F. !!!! ive been coming here for years worst service ive ever recieved and it's really dirty however ive never been seated on the right side of the restaurant maybe that's the difference. Food was amazing pancakes perfectly done !!! Love the food but clean ur restaurant !!!!! Food was 5 read more

Amazing customer service. Staff is super friendly. Our server Ashley was phenomenal. Clean restaurant. And the food comes in big portions. Will definitely be back! read more

When I tell you that I set my breakfast/brunch standards high, I am telling you, they are HIGH. Plus, I am not a morning person. So if I am getting up and getting myself presentable enough to make it out for breakfast, it better not disappoint. OPH does not disappoint, EVER. It sounds crazy to think that I could eat something as specific as banana pancakes on a monthly (borderline biweekly) basis without getting sick of them but it is the honest truth. The service is just as fantastic as the food. Staff are always super personable, and SPEEDY fast. Be sure to go online and get on the waitlist ahead of time because unfortunately the amazing-ness of this place is not a secret to locals. This is the FIRST place I bring any out of town visitors to and don't have the words to describe how much I love OPH. I have been coming here for years and it is one of the few places I have encountered in the restaurant industry that has been able to maintain and even exceed their standards of food and service, without fail, even through a global pandemic. read more

This location takes reservations. Shh. Only tell your best friends. This place does a great job with the table of 8-12 people. The staff here is top notch. The servers are great and it seems like the managers are helping everywhere during rush times. Like the other OPHs, the food here is so good. The pancakes never disappoint! Dutch babies! French toast! Even crepes! The egg dishes have too much cheese for my preference, so you may want to ask them to go light. Strawberry pancakes! Yes! Get those! My favorite side dish for over a decade is the bowl of berries. read more

We had a delightful breakfast at The Original Pancake House. Friendly service, pleasant atmosphere, decent prices, large portions. We will go back. read more

This place was amazing from min one. The best customer service I think I have received EVER!!! Right away, we were greeted we had a small wait but 1000% worth it. The waitress we had was Ashley, I think, and she was the product of customer service. LONG gone. I almost didn't want to leave. It felt like I was in a time warp to the 50s in the best way possible. The food was incredible!! I'm a little picky and tested my limits with my substitutions, which normally gets me major attitude, but not this time, she was welcome to the challenge. She knew the 2 bites 2 min rule, and when she would come by, it was always just in time and never pushy. I think everyone should go here and ask for her she deserves the appreciation. read more

Yummy breakfast! I swear I'm hooked on the bacon and often think to myself "If I got up earlier I could stop by for breakfast (2 eggs over medium, bacon, and 3 pancakes) and have leftovers for lunch!! Their French onion soup is also delicious and I recommend. If you venture there on a weekend, do yourself a favor and either go early or make a reservation! read more

A great breakfast house not real large with all your delights. Advise getting on wait list as early as it will allow? Why? Sunday July 30 29 parties in the wait line around 10 am . While I love it there it has small capacity. Delicious potato pancakes and fluffy original pancakes. Food is very good...ample parking..fast kitchen just needs to expand. The ambiance is warm and friendly with some age on it. Smaller lobby to wait in and people waiting outside! read more

We stopped by on a weekday. They seemed busy but we were seated and served quickly. The food was great and the coffee was tasty too.

My first time at The Original Pancake House was in Winnipeg. There are currently three locations in that city. I have visited two of them. I am a huge fan waffles, pancakes, and crepes. I can eat them any time of the day. My last visit to a stateside franchise was in Denver. I loved it. When I found out that there was one three minutes away from my hotel in Eden Prairie, I decided to have lunch here before I headed to the airport to fly home. I arrived just before 1 pm on a Saturday. I found a parking spot and backed into it. There is lots of parking available. I walked in. There are two restaurant areas that are separated by the check-in area and the washrooms. A host greeted me. She seemed a bit confused guiding me to the right area, but I eventually got a two-seat booth. My server was friendly. I got a Diet Coke to start. What caught my attention on the menu were Swedish pancakes. I had to order them. After all, I am in Minnesota. The last time I had lingonberries was in a small town in Sweden. I work for a Swedish conpany. It was meant to be. I also ordered a side of corned beef hash. It's simply yummy. I waited probably a good ten minutes or so. My food came out. One word: wow! My Swedish pancakes were thin, but huge! They were on a huge plate and they still spilled over. I had a separate plate that had my corned beef hash. It was perfectly shaped as a circle. My lingonberries, maple syrup, and whipped butter were on a third plate. I enjoyed rolling up my Swedish pancakes. I filled them up with lingonberries and rolled them It was fun. The pancakes tasted so good. They are really crepes, which I love. They were perfect. The lingonberries weren't too sweet. I was transported back to my experience eating them in Karlskrona, Sweden. Yum! The corned beef hash was exactly how I remembered them. They were full of flavour and slightly crispy. Delicious! I got a refill on my Diet Coke. My server was great. I paid my server at the table. I used a credit card. The transaction was smooth. The washroom was okay when I dropped by. Earlier, a woman had complained about it to the greeter just before I was led to my table. I had a great last meal in Eden Prairie before I headed to the airport. I'd come back and try the French toast next. (32) read more

We love this place. The wait can be long to get in. So, it is especially helpful to go online and get on the wait list using dine time. The link is in the upper right corner of their app. Then, you get on the list, don't have to go through the wait and you can walk in to your table. Once there, service is good. Food is crazy good. The places has the odor of coffee, waffles and eggs throughout. The cinnamon rolls are especially big and delicious. We've done take out as well and they package the food well. Enjoy! read more
