    Bacon and Cheese Omelette
    Robert W.

    The service was ok but the wait for the food was wayyyyyy to slow. The omelette took more than 30 minutes for it to be ready and the eggs benedict as well. People beside us who sat down later were getting their food way before we were. The pancakes are good but just not justifiable because of the price. Its 15 dollars for a stack!

    My bf and I visited Oregon for the first time, and decided to stop and grab breakfast before heading home. The food was below my expectations, my potatoes were undercooked, eggs overcooked and my pancakes were lacking flavor. The service was quite quick and we appreciated this, however, our waitress didn't have a very welcoming demeanor at all, and at each request she wasn't very thrilled to fulfill them. The ambiance was extremely loud with no music playing. I truly would not recommend eating at this establishment.

    A great little breakfast house chain that started in Portland. This one is right off of campus and when parents are in town for university or some sort of sporting event expect a wait. Well worth it too. I went with the green chile omelette and a side of biscuits and gravy..Allgood! I had some fresh squeezed orange juice that hit the spot. All Ducks sport pictures cover the walls. SCO Ducks!

    We were lucky and came around 8:30 on a Sunday, beating the crowds. We were seated right away but there was a full waiting room when we left. This is a no frills old fashioned diner with an extensive menu so something for everyone. I was feeling simple so I ordered a scramble and the pancakes on the side. The pancakes are everything you would want, fluffy and flavorful. The scramble was simple, like something you would make at home. I only wish the menu offered more combinations to be able to try more dishes because they all sounded so good. Having a pancake sampler or the option to upgrade sides would be a nice touch.

    Still the best pancakes and coffee in the universe. The omelettes are fantastic too. Given the great service and extensive menu it's no wonder this the original best breakfast restaurant in Oregon.

    I couldn't remember the pancake my wife got. Maybe banana?? Regardless, it was great. I got the pancake meal. The bacon was the best. Nice and thick bacon. Cooked to perfection. The service was great. The ambiance was a typical diner. I loved it. The staff was all college kids and it brings a great atmosphere.

    If you're looking for classic American breakfasts with traditional diner style service, you can't go wrong with The Original Pancake House. This one is located near U of O, so if you're visiting a friend or have a kid that goes to school there, this is a great spot for breakfast. We went around 8:30 to try to avoid a long wait, which I had read usually starts around 9-ish on game days. It was perfect timing. We were able to get a parking spot in their small lot (there is also street parking all around), and waited maybe only 5 minutes before we were seated. The pancakes are, of course, the focus here. My husband got the apple pancakes and they were tasty. Our son ordered the French toast, which was also fluffy and delish. I got the eggs benedict and it was the perfect hearty breakfast. I asked for crispy bacon, and they delivered. Service was good; the servers were all friendly. You get your tab at the table and then pay up front at the cash register. There's a coffee refill station where you can help yourself, too.

    We decided to stop by The Original Pancake House because they had a lot of Gluten free options. My husband had wanted the gluten free crepes they had on the menu, but they no longer had them. They he asked which items he could get as gluten free but our server didn't really offer many ideas so he went for plain pancakes. I ordered the French crepes. Portions were a good size for the price but I thoughts my crepes were just Ok. My husband doesn't usually have an opportunity to get gluten free pancakes and he said these are great. I would've given this place a 3 but chose to give it a 4 due to my husbands happiness over these pancakes.
