Food was fresh and amazing, service was exceptional. Place was clean. Will definitely go back

Excellent service and all the staff If you are looking for good breakfast this is the place, all food is delicious!!!!! Thank you Luis for your excellent service read more

Food was fresh, generous, fast and tasty (as was the service - okay maybe the service wasn't "tasty" but you get the point). Took the Godson here and he ate 4 of the enormous 6 chocolate chip pancakes. I had a California omelette which had veg, mushrooms, cheese and a half slice of avocado at the top. It was reasonably priced and service was warm and friendly (several water and coffee refills). Interior decor is old school but that is part of the charm - like visiting your favorite eclectic friend or relative. Godson already said he wants to go back. read more

I love this restaurant. It has been my favorite ever since we ate at the San Jose location on Almaden. We have been driving to Los Altos, as this is the only one still open and in our vicinity. I had my favorite Dutch baby. Please note it does take a minimum of 30 minutes to cook. My cousin had a Spanish omelette. The food was magnificent, our waitress was great and the restaurant itself is very adorable. Will continue to come here when I'm in the area. read more

Nostalgic no frills pancake house. Parking lot is small. Love coming here for the Dutch baby pancake. Portions are huge and service is friendly. We enjoyed: Dutch baby pancake Dutch baby pancake with fresh fruit Nutella pancakes Fresh banana pancakes Bacon cheeseburger The fresh fruit Dutch baby pancake was so good and it's served with whipped cream and strawberry syrup. The Dutch baby is served with lemon wedges, butter and powdered sugar. We were surprised at how big the 3 Nutella crepes were. The banana pancakes were generous too. The burger was huge. read more

best server ever!!! and a phenomenal crepe 10/10 will def be going back for Reuben specifically

I am not a pancake lover or eater but my husband is! We went to The Original Pancake House in Los Altos and I can tell you the pancakes were fantastic. I thought I would only have one but had to have another. They were light and the flavor was delicious. We will for sure go back and try the Dutch Baby. The crapes look amazing. The place is old so don't expect anything fancy. The decor is old. We ate outside in the patio. The service was fine and quick. Try the pancakes you will be glad you did. read more

My son came across The Original House of Pancakes and read about how it all started and their huge menu. He was so excited that we decided to make the drive -- a little over an hour each way -- for a Sunday meal. Totally worth it! The staff was super friendly and easygoing, which made us feel welcome right away. The menu is huge and there's truly something for everyone. Portions are generous -- no one is leaving hungry here! We ordered a mix of dishes to share: chicken Caesar salad, pancakes with scrambled eggs and hash browns, French fries, chicken fajitas, and hot chocolate. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. It's the kind of place that feels like a classic, and we left full, happy, and already planning a return trip. If you're on the fence about making the drive, go for it -- you won't regret it! read more
