The food is delicious we order a omelette with the chocolate chips pancakes with coffee The server was friendly and the food came out fast ,the place was almost empty. The ambience was very nice no yelling people except one family with a young kids it let the kid scream all he want and there parents let him do what ever he wants. Look like is the new style to let the young kid to do what ever they want and there parents don't care that batter everybody in the restaurant. Thinking it is normal. Recommended for breakfast to everyone read more

We were greeted and seated right away. Our server Luis gave us menus and got our drinks right away and kept checking on us until we were ready to order. He was an amazing server. We ordered coffee and tea and Louis made sure to keep our cups full and to always check on us. We ordered eggs, potatoes, bacon and pancakes. They gave us choice's of pancakes but they didn't tell us some choices would cost more. The food was just ok. The pancakes were not what I was hoping for; they were dense and not fluffy and the whip cream was not good. We asked for warm syrup but were told they couldn't give that to us. Presentation and portions were amazing. The restaurant was clean and open with comfortable seating. Noise levels were perfect. It was easy for conversations and bathrooms were clean. Parking was easy. We came during the week and it was not busy. Unfortunately we were not completely happy with the food so we will not return but we were happy to give this place a try. read more

The Original Pancake House is a charming, family-friendly diner with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. During our visit, it was beautifully decorated for the World Cup, with flags from around the world and a large American flag proudly displayed. With the Fourth of July weekend, the patriotic décor made the restaurant feel especially festive. The restaurant was spotless, and the service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and our food arrived quickly. The food was good overall. While it wasn't the most memorable breakfast I've ever had, everything was fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying. It's the kind of place where you can count on a solid, enjoyable meal. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable spot with great service, a welcoming atmosphere, and dependable breakfast favorites, The Original Pancake House is definitely worth a visit. read more

June 21, 2026 (Father's Day). We arrived at 11:30 am and they told us the wait would be 20-25 minutes. The waiting area outside has benches and good background music. The hostesses had to step outside and call names out loud it would be better if they used the speaker system. We were seated at 12:00 pm. At 12:15, Luis came to take our order. As frequent customers, we noticed the new menu design and several new dishes. Some classics were also modified for example, the Steak and Egg no longer includes pancakes, so we had to order them separately. A nice detail we noticed is that all the booth glass dividers have a QR code for the digital menu. Drinks arrived as follows: * My daughter's hot chocolate at 12:29 * Soda at 12:30 * Coffees at 12:33 At 12:52, the runner Jhon cleared our empty cups (our first cup of coffee since we arrived). We asked for more coffee and he personally brought it, then proactively refilled many other tables. He was proactive and excellent. Food arrived at 1:04 pm. We had ordered 2 Steak and Eggs medium, but they came medium-well almost well done. The seasoning was good though. Luis checked on us at 1:22 pm. At 1:34 he offered more coffee and we asked for the check, which arrived at 1:43 pm. Overall, the service was decent and the timing reasonable for a very busy Father's Day Sunday. We'll keep coming back as usual. read more

Personally, I like the food More at The Original pancake house, then IHOP even though they have pretty much the same menu. I think they're pricing is definitely cheaper. The location was very clean and organized, the service was fast and attentive. There is plenty of parking. The one negative I have to state about this location is that they automatically add 15% gratuity as many restaurants are doing these days. However, because this is a fast food type of restaurant I don't feel that it should be added. In addition, this type of information should be posted at restaurant entrances by law and they do not have it posted. read more

Pretty heinous all around. It is sort of obviously on life support- it was pretty empty. The servers glared at us as if we were there to borrow money. It took 20 minutes for one of them to do us the favor of approaching our table. Offering coffee? No that was 10 minutes later. Food is mid at best. Prices are on the high side for what you get. The thing is when you go to breakfast on a weekday it is possible you may have places to go. Anyway there are better options read more

Came to the original pancake house located in miami and I have to say the Doral location is much better! Our service with genesis was great so it definitely made the ambiance and setting better. Since it's close to Halloween, most were dressed like princesses and it was very cute. Hot chocolate and western omelette was the only thing that was worth it! That western omelette can feed 3 people... beyond huge! As far as the 2x2x2 breakfast eggs and sausage was super dry and the pancakes I'd have to say did not impress me. I would come here again for the omelette and possibly try something different. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning at 0815 and it wasn't crowded at all. The hostess Paulina was very cheery and upbeat and seated us immediately. Our server Mariana was sweet and very attentive. The standard American coffee and cappuccino were both good. Our orders came out quickly. Both our skillets (Santa Fe and 3 Meat Ranchero) were delicious and filling. The basic pancakes were just the right texture. By 0915 it was starting to get crowded so I'd recommend coming earlier unless you don't mind crowds. We also got an oven-baked omelette to go but I'm sure it will be good. Total bill with tip and tax was $80. I felt I got my money's worth. read more

This is a Miami staple! I've been coming here for years and this place consistently comes through! The food taste homemade! Even though you could compare it to IHOP or Denny's, the food here is better hands down! For instance, I had breakfast here a week ago and the hashbrowns alone tasted better and were a bigger portion than its competitors! One of my favorite dishes is the Dutch baby which taste around a half hour to make...if you're hungry make sure you sit there and wait pretty cause it's gonna be a while, lol! Last time I didn't get to order it cause I got there 20 mins before closing! But ima dedo come back for the Dutch Baby! It's so delicious, comes straight out the oven! Oven baked, served with whipped butter, lemon and powdered sugar! It's to live for! They have egg breakfasts with the usual sides. The ambiance is filled with Miami locals, families...patrons of all ages. They're only open til about 3 in the weekends so don't be too late or you'll miss out! Plenty of parking in the lot! read more

Warm diner that always smells so good that if you were not hungry already, you are as soon as you walk through the doors. I dined with a big group, and our waitress was very attentive and accurate with our orders. Food was good too. I love when I done at a place that has good food all round; gluten and gluten free. The gluten free waffle was amazing!! I've tried their gluten free pancakes and those are good too. This place is a classic and I'm SO glad it has yummy GF options. read more

So, yesterday's Western Omelette was missing the mozzarella cheese. We could not find it anywhere inside the omelet. Everything else was good. The Ham and Cheese Omelette, Bacon, Bacon and Eggs were tasty. However, for some reason, this location takes too long to cook, package, and give the express delivery orders to Doordash or Uber Eats drivers on most days, especially on the weekend. We usually get our express delivered with 36 to 45 mins, but lately, this store takes closer to 60-70 mins to deliver the food after we have placed our order. I don't know why the cooks or the waitresses at this location take so long to cook/prepare the foods, especially on Saturday and Sundays. Please try to work on cooking, preparing, and sending delivery orders to customers faster. Customers like me who pay extra express delivery fees, are already paying expensive service fees, delivery fees plus tips for their orders to be delivered on time. Thank you! -Anayansia T.R.C. read more

This spot did not disappoint me ! I got the waffle combo and asked for a blueberry waffle with scrambled eggs and added a side of the home fries. The waffle was PERFECT! The home fries were very yummy but just a tad salty for my taste but still edible and tasty! My mom had the steak breakfast and the steak was cooked perfectly was tender and flavorful! The orange juice is natural and was also very good. The server was kind and attentive. The booth seats are not the most comfortable but the place overall is perfect for a casual brunch / breakfast I will definitely be going again! :) read more

The OG of all things pancakes. Come and you will wait but it's not long and you'll see why everyone waits happily. The menu consists of breakfast goodies and more like handheld sandwiches and burgers. So its not just all about the pancakes...but more of satisfying your hunger through all things delish. They have a variety of omelettes, eggs, frenchtoast, skillets,cereals, waffles, oatmeal, and of course a variety of pancakes. It's not just pancakes with fruity toppings or sauces but they have sourdough , buckwheat, potato, bacon (yes,bacon pancakes) and then some. And don't forget to finish it all.off.with some great coffee or the best damn fresh squeezed oj I've ever had! read more

I hate to give this place such a low rating. I used to come here once a month since I was a kid food used to be more affordable maybe 40 bucks with tip at most for two people now with getting the same thing I pay $70 for two people. Service is alright. They change the whole staff, and maybe even the kitchen because the way the food taste is not the same 2 stars at best. and that's just for eggs and hash browns. don't bother with the steak and eggs. way over cooked steak over salted and over peppered. I had to return it because it was well done. and when the second one came out it was just a disappointment. I had to use a napkin to remove the grease on top and most of the over seasoned pepper and salt on it. i don't know if they changed owners but it was a mistake to change everything about the place. the only thing that I can say that they changed that went right is the remodeling. but my advise don't change something that's not broken. never coming again. read more

It had been a while since we've eaten at this Original Pancake House and I don't foresee us coming back... My husband is Gluten Free so he was looking forward to their GF pancakes. To say he was disappointed is an under statement! We don't know if they've changed their GF pancakes mix but he used to really enjoy them. This time he said they tasted bland, dry, and bordering gritty. I had the waffle combo which included a Belgian waffle and 2 eggs and ordered a side of hash browns. The hash browns were sitting in a puddle of grease (nasty) and lacked salt or any flavor for that matter. I will say that the waffles were the best part of my breakfast. They were fluffy and delicious! Their OJ is also freshly squeezed and delicious, Just know that each glass is $4.99. We also asked for GF syrup for my husbands pancakes and the waitress seemed loss. We explained that it usually comes in a small glass bottle and is pure maple syrup. Instead she brought us a Sugar Free Smuckers syrup. We had to ask another waitress and she brought us true maple syrup that tasted delicious. Just be prepared to pay $2.49 for each bottle of 100% maple syrup. Another thing to note is that 15% gratuity was already added to our bill. So double check your bill before paying. read more

I also come to the pancake house after 1pm to avoid crowds. We usually get seated right away! Since the last time I've been there it looks like they remodeled a bit. This time around I opted for the banana chocolate pancakes. The pancakes were really fluffy and were definitely made to order. I would have preferred a few more banana slices but nonetheless the plate was tasty. Ordered a side of potatoes to get the salty balance to a very sweet dish. I've noticed most break potatoes aren't seasoned but these were and it made a huge difference. We did notice their prices and portions have changed. A lot of menu items have gone up in price while the portion size seems smaller. Just keep that in mind if you have a big appetite! read more

Went there to order takeout for my Son. After 20 minutes staff gave me the order in a bag with handles. I started walking to my car and the bottom collapsed out spilling food everywhere burning my hand on omelette sauce. I asked for my 37 dollar order to be remade with discount or no fee. A manager did not talk with me. They just gave me my order and dismissed me. They wanted me out of the restaurant. They were too busy to say sorry it happened. I will not go back there, poor service. read more

So let me give you a little background. I've been visiting The Original Pancake House off Sunset Dr. for over 40 years. I began visiting this establishment back when it was originally located at Town and Country Mall. I can't even count the number of customers I've sent to them. Today Monday, December 23rd was the day they lost a customer forever. I arrived at 8:50 am. I said we were going to be a party of 7 or 8 and we would like to sit in Jill's section. I was told that Jill didn't have a table for that many, I asked if they could put us near her section, so she could wait on us. I was told no! Mind you the restaurant was empty and only 3 other tables were occupied with a total of 8 (2 tables of 2 and 1 of 4) customers. After a back-and-forth, Gabriel the manager, who is a young man who has no cool about customer service. (Or how to keep customers happy) Was very dismissive of my request. He said he could sit us with another waitress Maria. I reluctantly agreed only to be told I had to wait for my party to arrive. Mind you the entire restaurant was empty. He would not sit me! With that I asked to talk with the owner who according to Gabriel was not in nor when he would arrive. I decided that if that is how they are going to treat a long-term customer. I didn't need to give them my money. I used to meet with friends and work partners there once a month on top of taking my family there. To make matters worse this place no longer has ham or Canadian bacon as a meat option. Very dissatisfied with how I was treated and dismissed as not important. Fortunately, there are many other places to meet for breakfast! Jill and Maria my apologies to you, you guys have been fantastic! read more

The service was terrible. We sat down and it was like we were invisible. My Pancakes were not light and fluffy. I had to stand up and flag someone down to get ketchup. For the cost of eating out these days I should not have had to beg for service. There was a gentleman that came in after us and you would have thought he was the pope by how everyone was flocking to him to wait on him. The servicers need proper training. read more

I've been coming to The Original House of Pancakes for over 20 years and have always liked the food and friendly service. Sadly, that hasn't be the case lately. Today we were served by Luis--and this is the second time we've had a negative experience with him. Both times, he's been arrogant and impatient, making us feel rushed and unwelcome. Today, just minutes after bringing the check, he told us they needed the table because it was a busy morning. We cut our conversation short, only to find no one waiting at the door. It's frustrating to see someone repeatedly bring down the quality of service that has made this restaurant so special for decades. Luis's demeanor doesn't reflect the values of hospitality and respect that we've always appreciated here. I still recommend The Original House of Pancakes--most of the staff are wonderful. But if you're seated in Luis's section, I strongly suggest requesting another server. It really makes all the difference. read more

Customer service from the management. And the food quality has dropped and portion sizes have shrunk. Prices have soared, I'm not used to paying over $20.00 for breakfast. However my biggest complaint is about the management and how they treated a customer of over 30 years on a day the restaurant was empty last December. I'll never go back or recommend this establishment again. You can see from other reviews that I'm not the only one with this type of review/comments. So sad my kids grew up coming hear and the number of meetings I've held here are countless. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places to visit. The food was always wonderful, and the service was excellent. It was always full, and I expected to have to wait a little to be seated, so I was mildly surprised that the place was kind of empty. I was more surprised that it took the waitress more than ten minutes to come by, since there were not a lot of people there, and that was only because we asked someone to please find our waiter. We were starting to feel a little annoyed. We asked for coffee and placed our order. Another ten minutes went by with no coffee or even a glass of water, and when the waitress finally arrived with it, she told us that she could not fulfill my wife's order as requested because the manager said there were no substitutions (she wanted home fries instead of toast). At this point, we canceled our order. You can't eat when you're aggravated. That said, it made me wonder if this is why the place was mostly empty. read more

Food was very delicious and will definitely be coming back again! The pancakes are wayyy better then Ihops or dennys!

#ThankYouThursday to this our special breakfast spot. We've been faithful patrons for years. Reason we keep coming back? It feels like home. The amazing service we always get , especially from our dear friend Jill makes our day. Even during the time when she ( and we) had to wear a mask , her sweet disposition and smile came through.
