    Add chocolate chips to pancakes
    Marie C.

    Came here on a Friday at 1030, there was a good amount of parking, no wait, and they didn't have anything that was sold out. This is the 2'nd time I've been here and this time was definitely better than last time! I feel like they have a better menu and not everything is Ala cart anymore, thank goodness! Service was great and restaurant was very much a breakfast/brunch place. Food was good!

    Pecan Waffle
    Rachael W.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 The good, the food! Long list ahead, my apologies: pecan waffles, Irish omelette, pumpkin pancakes, bacon waffles, banana Nutella crepes, cornflake French toast (added bananas) and pumpkin pancakes. We thought with the ratings the food wasn't going to be good, but everything had good flavor. The only one of issue was the Irish omelette, it was INSANELY dry, flavor was there but DRY. The pecan waffles had an orange marmalade syrup that complimented well, the cornflake texture on the French toast was "5/5 amazing" according to daughter 1 that had it. Pancakes were fluffy with a good buttermilk flavor, all was well executed. The bad/indifferent, the service. This was barely above ok, did their jobs and were somewhat nice about it. Our original server was a little on the rude side, but whatever, we ended up with a different one who was a lot nicer once we moved tables (they were understanding of the table move, we were right inside the door originally) Overall, food was good, would go back for that. The service...? Eh, we'll ignore it for now.

    My first time here!!! Everything was sooo yummy- it was busy BUT service was great and quick! I was surprised how fast food came out after ordering! I used to be crazy for ihop but honestly now I think I like pancake house more! Will definitely be back! Also- the pumpkin pancakes are SO GOOD.

    Thing af CFS

    Ordered my breakfast to go, all I had was their online menu to use as reference. When I got my food I noticed there was no bacon with it. While their menu photo shows the dish I ordered with it, when I ate here years before it always came with it but now it's gone from the item description. No apologies from the management. Your store is greedy, the shrinkflation is atrocious and telling of how the Puyallup OPC is operated and they value Pennie's over customers and creating real value with honest menus and offerings. My brothers CFS was so thin I don't even know if there was even chicken between the breading. Avoid this place at all costs. Goto Blackbear diner! Better quality, more value and they don't hate their customers.

    Service: 10/10 very polite and friendly. Ambiance: 10/10 very family friendly restaurant. You can hear laughter, chitter chatter, babies crying and laughing in the air. Sounds like family time to me. Food: 8/10 Good food, but can get it just about anywhere. Nothing too special. Pancakes 10/10 fire, just fire

    Veggie Bowl (no eggs or Hollandaise)
    Sara S.

    We had a wonderful breakfast here! We managed to time it perfectly, because we walked right up and got a table for two. We have waited a long time for a table in the past, and many people who came after us had a wait, as well. We did wait a bit long for our food, but we weren't in a hurry, so it wasn't a big deal. I'm a vegan, so I asked if they had any vegan options and our server said no, everything was made with eggs and milk (I clarified he was talking about the pancakes). They had a veggie bowl on the menu, so I ordered that with the eggs and Hollandaise on the side for my husband. I also got some dry marbled rye, which were nice, thick slices. The bowl was really good! It hand seasoned potatoes, broccoli, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. My husband got the chicken-fried steak, which was almost as big as the plate! It came with a side of pancakes, and he added potatoes. He thoroughly enjoyed his food, as well. The women's bathroom needed a little attention, but it wasn't terrible. Our server and the drink attendants were very attentive. Our glasses and mugs were filled regularly. It was a great breakfast.

    Asked for chocolate Chips & this what I got
    Marques J.

    This place gets a SOLID 2.5 not necessarily a 3. First Ill start w/ the good because positivity is important lol. 1.) Bacon was EXCELLENT thick cut & flavorful 2.) All 3 kids LOVED their pancakes 3.) Server was delightful but not great. Now the bad 1.) Ambiance - maybe it was just where I was sitting but the place is ultra dark but allows an insane amount of natural light in. The two contrasted and caused nausea w/ minor headache, so I was forced to wear sunshade in side, it completely ruined my mood & experience. 2.) No one liked their eggs, and we all got them made differently, which tells me the one making the eggs didn't specialize in eggs. 3.) After a long while looking over the menu and zeroing in on what I was going to eat, I chose the Country Bowl substitute Chicken Sausage for Ham and she said no they dont allow modifications. 4.) Because everyone had placed their orders I was forced to just order on the fly. I chose something I figured they can't mess up which is bacon & eggs. Which I could've cooked at home for much cheaper than I was charged. And I wasn't even in the mood for that. 5.) After ordering bacon & eggs the delightful waitress recommended I get a waffle as well, I asked to add Chocolate Chip which in my mind would've been spread around the Waffle instead it was clumped down. I was charged extra for the waffle & the chocolate lol 6.) Inflation is kicking all of our butts so I get the need to charge more but 20/meal is crazy. With those prices I do expect better everything.

    Always wanted to try this place out but was disappointed by the food. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Seated fairly quickly on a weekend day, late lunch time. Super happy waitress that checked on us often. Coffee served in cute and sturdy custom branded mugs. But sadly the pancakes were smaller than I'm used to at most brunch places nowadays, and somewhat dry. It doesn't have much flavor in its own either. The omelet is unique looking like it came out of some special half circle shaped cast iron but I think this process made it dry too. The Swiss cheese used in my vegetarian omelette was also not a good choice. It is rubber and doesn't melt. With many outstanding local breakfast places nearby, unfortunately OHP won't be a regular for us.

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Marah H.

    It has been quite awhile since the wife and I stopped in for breakfast at OPH. We were able to join the waitlist while in route and by the time we got there we were seated within 3-5 minutes. The table and floor beneath had just been thoroughly cleaned and our server Rae quickly greeted us. She delightfully took our drink order and gave us some time to look over the menu. I settled on the biscuits no gravy and the wife went with strawberry pancakes. On a busy Saturday morning, we anticipated the 15-ish minute wait for our meals. The food was seriously delicious and Rae made our experience so very pleasant. To that affect, all of the staff were super kind and attentive. It was really great to see. With how popular this restaurant is, you can imagine it gets loud when they're busy and some patrons let their kids run around like feral cats. Pack your patience... the food and service is worth is.

    Dutch Baby and Chicken Apple Link Sausage
    Julie B.

    A family style restaurant, The Original Pancake House is similar to those other family style restaurants (iHop/Denny's) but in my opinion better. The restaurant was bustling and all the employees had smiles on their faces, helpful and happy. Our waiter was knowledgeable not only with the menu, but also the city of Puyallup engaging and taking time in a nice conversation. We found the place clean and inviting. I ordered the Dutch Baby as I do each time I visit. Perfectly made, with butter, powdered sugar and lemon on the side. I'm glad I added the side of Chicken Apple sausage. Closing time is 2pm.

    Yes! I'm a vegan, and I order the veggie bowl with the eggs and hollandaise on the side (I give them to my husband). I also order a side of flour tortillas and salsa, and make them breakfast tacos. 😊

The fried zucchini were prepared in a manner that we haven't seen before - long, flat pieces. Excellent! My wife had the Sloppy Joe - and she couldn't have been more pleased. Seasoned to perfection. I opted for a Wedge Salad, which was another item prepared in a way I hadn't seen before either - it wasn't a big rock-like salad, it was sliced and laid sideways. Perfect. and with lots of bacon!

I am very neurotic, and she was very patient, and even engaged in back and forth banter. She came to take our drink order, and if you know me, I always have a lot of complex requests. I started off ordering a boring vodka and soda, but then switched it up to cucumber vodka with muddled lime and mint with soda. Visibly and vocally unperturbed, she took my order along with my counterparts. The bartender whipped me up a couple of those bad boys and let me tell you, it was refreshment level: EXPERT. And props to the bartender, whom I thanked on the way out. After I drink order, I started ordering all sorts of ish. We had, an order of grilled sourdough, which was phenomenal and I'm actually going to start making that at home, if I ever get there, me and my (non-romantically involved, strictly platonic cuz I don't swing that way) partner both had the Cavatappi Ragu, and his wife had something with meatballs, that's all I can really remember. Man, even a my standards the food was so good. I'm very grateful that my folks picked up the check, and I feel bad because I ordered so much stuff, which I wasn't expecting because I went Ham on the menu, but damn man.... I think you can actually eat cheaper at a comparable restaurant in LA... Prices were pretty high. Even for me hahaha BUT all that being said, the next time I come see these clowns, I want to go back!
