The servers were so nice, my waitress gave me a great recommendation for being my first time here. Seemed very family friendly too ! But the food was amazing, the turkey sausage was so good I'd come back just for that. But I recommend this place it was a good meal! read more

Food was good but expensive for what you get. Came fast but that's expected when you're the second customer of the day on a slow weekday. Staff was friendly to customers but I heard some complaining between servers, which should never happen in front of customers. read more

You won't find a better sweet breakfast in the Pittsburgh area. The quality of ingredients and flavors are second to none. We often enjoy their pancakes and waffles. The real deal. Great service, clean restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. A must try. read more

We waited in a long line on a Saturday morning (20-30 minutes), but wasn't surprised because the food was fantastic. Definitely work the wait! The potato pancakes are made of finely diced potatoes, mashed together, and fried - and then served with sour cream & apple sauce. The cherry blintze had a thick crepe wrap, filled with whipped cream and covered with sweet cherries & special house sauce. Also, the service was great and our waitress was incredibly attentive! read more

Came here for brunch recently, they have a huge menu so everyone was able to get what they wanted. I enjoyed the cinnamon apple pancakes. They were definitely busy, be aware that your whole party has to be present to be sat. We had a slight debacle with our server ringing in an extra side that no one ordered and still charging for it, but it eventually got straightened out. Overall, this is a fine spot for a classic brunch. read more

Arriving at 8:50am to a places that's hours are 8-2 on a Sunday morning. Parking lot was empty (not a good sign) people in front smoking, cigarette butts scattered about. Walked in to an empty place The owner (Chuck) stood at a podium no hello no welcome we said there would be 4. he said you will have to sit and wait for your full party. I have been in restaurant business for over 30 years and am a Certified Executive Chef with the American Culinary Federation and also a Certified Foodservice Professional with the National Restaurant Association I understand the concept of trying to turn tables. My comment was there is no one here. 9 am Sunday morning breakfast place empty We went and sat down to wait, Chuck the owner (customer service training needed) came over and said he wasn't going to serve us (probably the best thing he did for us)I wanted to let others know what to expect. Say hi to Chuck with a smile he will be miserable right back read more

I will say even though they were busy the wait was minimal. It seemed like a large wave of guests would leave at once in an ebb and flow. Service was okay. Our waitress wasn't very friendly but was quick and to the point. I ordered the baby's food as soon as we sat down. My husband and I ordered when her waffle came out. Our food came out much slower - a plain waffle, scrambled eggs and my omelette with rye toast. The vegetarian omelette was maybe the worst omelette I've ordered in a restaurant. It was bland with a mushy/wet texture. There was so much cheese I had to dig through it to find the vegetables. The broccoli was frozen broccoli. Not that it was still frozen but using frozen vegetables was not a compliment to the omelette. The rye bread was okay. Nothing house made but better than the omelette. The waffle was good. If I had a craving for waffles I would order them but again, nothing I'd write home about. I did like the building and seating areas. High ceilings made it feel more open inside while it was quite crowded. read more

Had the best experience here. I walked into this place last July when 1 first opened my business and I immediately feel in love with the set up, the building, windows, doors the entry way is my whole vibe, and the restaurant is beautiful. Very clean. The owner and staff are absolutely wonderful. Yesterday I had a cancel and I finally dined in. This is my place for now. Amazing. So many choices. Food was good portion and excellent. I really wish I could do take out for this place. I'm love and I will make time to stop back in. Thank you Victoria for you service, recommendations and kindness. read more

The food was outstanding. My son ordered the strawberry banana Nutella crepes - very delicate and fresh. I went with the Reuben, which was excellent. The pancakes are fluffy and slightly sweet. Home potatoes were perfectly cooked and the think cut bacon was a welcomed change from the typical thin variety. The service was excellent as well. We were seated right away and the drink orders were collected. Drinks arrived quickly. The food order was taken and arrived in good time for this quality of food and four dishes. The restaurant is clean with a calm atmosphere. The booths are good sized and fit my party of four comfortably. Is you are in the area and seeking a good meal, you are remiss if you don't check this place out. read more

The waffle was nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, the pancakes melted in your mouth. The server was prompt with our drinks, and our food came out very quickly. Needless to say we were very satisfied with the portions and the quality of our food. We will definitely be coming back here soon. read more

I am very disappointed with the service I received today at The Pancake House. I called at 1:23 PM on Friday to place a takeout order for the pancake special. The young woman I spoke with informed me that I needed to come in and place the order in person. Following her instructions, I commuted 20 minutes and arrived at 1:43 PM, only to be told by a gentleman at the counter that they were no longer taking orders because the grills had already been shut down. He also mentioned that I may have spoken with an employee named Makayleigh. This experience was extremely frustrating and inconvenient. If I had been informed over the phone that they were no longer serving or were close to closing down the kitchen, I would not have made the trip. Not only did I waste time and gas, but I was trying to pick up food from one of my mother's favorite restaurants for her birthday. Clear communication would have prevented this situation. I hope management addresses this so future customers aren't put in the same position. read more

Tasty breakfast diner with many options. Pros - great service, place looks like an old Mexican restaurant or something like that. The menu is almost too big. I asked for over-easy eggs and they came out perfect. Bonus points for serving Dutch Babies and grilled kielbasa!! Cons - bacon was undercooked and the coffee so-so. Pancakes were good I thought they'd be a little fluffier. Finding the entrance is awkward. Summary - It's a lot better than a Denny's or a Perkin's, but not the greatest breakfast I ever had. If you like Belgian waffle or pancakes, worth checking out. read more

The most horrible service I have ever experienced had me waiting over an hour had our food, literally sitting in the back of the kitchen with no communication through our server.

I'm always on the lookout for good gluten free pancakes and Original Pancake House has some pretty good ones. I had the breakfast special, scrambled egg, bacon and 2 gluten free pancakes, which were very large and a nice texture. My wife had the sausage and eggs on rye toast, which she said was good (but nothing special). My rating is mostly for the gluten free pancakes, for which good ones are hard to find. read more

Breakfast was so blah! No taste, was cold, not good at all! I would've rather went to Dennys or anywhere else! Save the money, prices are outrageous too! read more

Great scrambled eggs! Apple cinnamon pancakes are good although the apple topping is consistently way undercooked; who likes crunchy apples on top of their pancakes? I don't. Beware, they now tack on an "administrative fee" if you use a credit/ATM card to pay your bill. - totally ridiculous - I once frequented this place and will no longer patronize due to the "administrative fee." Greed never ceases to amaze me. read more

First of all, this is pretty much the only place you can get a Dutch baby. That makes it worth a visit. That's not all, the place is huge, the space at each table is ample, plenty of room to spread out even for large groups The waitstaff was awesome. Very knowledgeable about the menu, asked the right questions, took the orders perfectly and got all of the details right. They had small tablets in their hands while taking the orders and I guess it is reliable software because even the picky eaters and ordered in my group were accommodated quickly. All our orders - for a 7 person party with 5 people asking for things to be made or delivered in a way that wasn't on the menu - were delivered to our table exactly as asked. Want hollandaise sauce on a piece of baked ham on the side of your weird crepe order... no problem at all. No judgement on you mixing sweet and savory this early on a Sunday. Speaking of the Dutch baby, they said it could take up to 30 mins, but worth the wait for me so I ordered it. Our entire food order, including the perfectly cooked Dutch baby was on our table in under 15mins on a busy Sunday morning after a Steelers night game. Can't say enough about this place, food is great, service is great, dining room isn't cramped at all, don't know if I'll eat here every time I'm in town, but if I don't I'll sure feel like I missed out on something read more

Surprisingly this was my first time here despite in the neighborhood frequently. My son and I went for Saturday breakfast. I really like the feature to get a spot in the waitline on Yelp ahead of arriving to save time. I wish all restaurants did this especially so you don't have to make customers wait in cars due to limited capacity. I checked in the waitlist when we were 10 mins away an we only waited 5 mins upon arriving. It seems that most of their staff are either high school or young college students, they were all polite. The only thing that stuck out for me was the boy greeter who was wearing street clothing (other staff in black uniform) and the woman taking payment who wasn't as friendly as the rest of staff. There was a QR code at each table to pull up the menu which wasn't told to us we just assumed, if for some reason you didn't have a phone or forget it then that would be an issue. Due to covid other restaurants are doing this as well. The prices are very good with average of $8 per person. There are short stack (3-4) pancakes or large (8 pancakes) options with a pretty large selection. My son ordered the blueberry pancakes which came with blueberry syrup. I ordered the feta spinach and tomato omelette which has the option of pancakes, toast or something else with it - I got strawberry pancakes. Our food came out in about 15 mins which was perfect. The portions were just right and server stopped by at just the right times. We can't wait to come back, great service food and location. read more

Great food and service! Pancakes were delicious. Tons of options. Went with the blueberry and the blueberry composite that comes with it was an extra good touch. Will definitely be back read more

It doesn't seem like a franchise because it has the warm feel of a small diner. The cost of the food is low and the portions are huge. We had a large party and were told that we'd wait for 30 minutes, but it was actually a wait of 15 minutes or less. It was a lot busier when we were leaving around 11a, like people were waiting for parking spaces type of busy. Our server Justice was very busy with other tables, but somehow she was still able to patiently handle our table of 9. She was on point, organized, and did it all being very kind and pleasant. The bacon was thick cut bacon that wasn't too fatty and not at all greasy. It was the perfect level of crispy. The half order of french toast was still a lot. I tried the brown sugar banana flavor and it was great. It wasn't too sweet and the bananas were ripe. They also provided our table with warm syrup (without us requesting it) which I really appreciated because tepid syrup ruins hot food. I recommend asking for a side of cream cheese to add to the french toast because that would've made it taste perfect. read more

God this food was really really good, the apple pancakes are baked so if you want them you should order them basically when you sit down cuz it'll take a lot of time for them to get it out but it is sooo worth it, can fill 2 people pretty well, highly recommend it!

Having come across this place on a 3rd party delivery app it took me back to the time I first tried this place when I was in Charlotte, NC which made it a no brainer for breakfast this weekend. My wife and I each ordered the S'mores pancakes with a side of sausage patties as they were out of kielbasa. Topped with graham cracker pieces, marshmallows, & chocolate syrup this made for a rich breakfast and the portion size could easily feed 2 people. We each snacked on thos throughout the day. The sausage was what you'd expect, mild but with a little heat the wake you up. I can't review the staff or building, but this will be a spot I'll visit because of the food itself. read more

Probably should've just ordered pancakes, but I didn't and I was disappointed... I ordered the Mozzarella Cheese Sandwich combo. It came with a nice side salad and wedding soup. The sandwich was soggy and had entirely too much spinach on it. The soup came with no noodles so naturally I asked if that's how it was suppose to come. It still was delicious and they even gave me soup to go to make up for their mistake. Meh food but great customer service! read more

I've often overlooked this place to try out their food but decided to finally give it an opportunity. Visiting during the midweek at lunchtime is perfect since the crowd volume is low. As others have noted there appears to be limited parking but I had no trouble. Once inside my girlfriend and I sat at a booth in the back. A very nice waiter and trainee in learning helped up with the menu choices. I learned that they don't carry the full menu you see online because they are short staffed but they have an adequate selection. I noticed above our booth there was a barcode where you can scan the menu if you like and there is a barcode above every seating area. Knowing they carry large portions I decided to opt for lunch instead of breakfast. I decided to order the chicken pesto wrap with a garden salad as my side. My girlfriend ordered a short stack (3 pancakes) of the buckwheat pancakes. The food is pricey as others have noted but as long as it tastes better than what you'd get at a cheaper place then it is worth the money. I also noticed on the menu under the "sides" that they do charge extra if you want a specialty syrup such as blueberry or a powdered sugar. Note, if the item you are ordering doesn't come with that then be prepared to pay the slight upcharge. We didn't have to wait overly long for our food. My girlfriend got heated maple syrup to go with her pancakes and believe me they were still huge for even a short stack. I tasted one of her pancakes and it was very good. My pesto wrap was made to perfection and quite filling for a lunch. As noted on the back of the menu their pancake batters are made from scratch with the highest quality ingredients. The suggested tip is normally shown on your bill which makes it easy to figure out. They do run breakfast specials during the course of the week which gives you an opportunity to try some of their pancakes and pair it with an egg and/or bacon, sausage, or home fries. I am interested in trying the Swedish pancake on my next visit since I learned it was a flatter pancake and served with lingonberries. Yelp has a waitlist on this business in their app should you want to check on the waittimes. The two of us were also thankful for the great service we received from our waiter team and am looking forward to returning sometime in the near future. The Original pancake house has two locations in the Pittsburgh area with the other one being in the North Hills. read more

Really surprising experience here. First, place is JAM PACKED on the weekends (at least the parking lot) There were several vehicles waiting for a parking spot (including us).. must be good, right? I've ordered take out breakfast before but never have dined in. I'm glad I did! The inside of the restaurant is giant - so if the parking lot is full, chances are there are still many seating options available. The menu selection is huge and includes anything from specialty hotcakes - to omelettes (and everything in between) I ordered the blueberry waffles, and my dad ordered the breakfast crepes.. which were the most delicious thing I've ever had! Perfect combination of breakfast omelette food - and sweet and savory crepes. 5/5 Highly recommend that menu item! read more

WARNING: NO ALCOHOL SERVED HERE WARNING: $4-8 PER CUP OF JUICE SPOILER: The best thing about this place is the cool architecture of the structure that houses the business. Excellent parking lot and building to look at for unscrupulous night activity. At Sunday 8:30AM, my uncle & I went here for breakfast. It was getting busy & seemed like the place had a reasonable number of staff. The waitors & waitresses seemed busy but I realized that was only due to their inefficiency & poor communication. It took forever to place the order & by the time it arrived, I was too hungry to take a picture of it. Lord forbid if you want some extra toast or syrup ten minutes into your meal because staff will be MIA. It was like an average country breakfast. The food was plentiful & matched the price but the soft drinks/juices were priced astronomically. Ambiance was sub-par. Service was mediocre at best. Extremely anti-climatic. read more

It's been a while since our last trip to The Original Pancake House. My husband, daughter and I stopped in over the Labor Day weekend (Saturday 9 am), and enjoyed a nice breakfast that left us full until dinner time. There are signs at the entrance reminding diners they are short staffed, and to please be patient. The change in hours are posted next to the other signs (8am-2pm). We were seated almost as soon as we walked in. Our server Brandy was friendly, and efficient. I ordered the pumpkin pancakes with the bacon and eggs, my husband had the eggs benedict, and our daughter had bacon and eggs with the Swedish pancakes. The 4 slices of Hormel thick cut bacon were meaty and full of bacon goodness. My sunny side up eggs were nicely cooked, without being overly runny. My 4 pumpkin pancakes were tasty, and not needing tons of syrup. Our daughters Swedish pancakes were impressive, served with a dish full of Lingonberries. The pancakes resembled plate size crepes. We were happy with everything, and couldn't have asked for a better breakfast. Our orders came out with no problems, Brandy kept coffee cups full and we were done in about an hour. By the time we were leaving the parking lot was filling up and there was a wait at the door. A nice change from Bob Evans, and Eat n Park. read more

Do you like pancakes? Then this place is for you. Went at 10:00 am on a Saturday morning and the place was packed but only had a short wait. I had choco chip pancakes (short stack) with a side of bacon. They go crazy with the whipped cream, which is a good thing. Bacon was nice and crisp and the portion was generous. Our server was very nice. Table was clean and the place looks tidy overall. Definitely a great place for breakfast. Decor is weird, though. It doesn't look like a pancake house. I am just wondering if the building was previously a German restaurant or steakhouse. read more
