The Original Pancake House - '''Blueberry Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Came in to eat before a movie, 30 minutes later still waiting I realize(after speaking with someone up front about the wait time) that people are adding themselves to the list before they even show up so when I get on the list, it's not just me and others waiting, it's me and 17 other parties that I didn't realize were "waiting." I asked the manager or the lady Caroline about that and she just shrugged her shoulders and said oh well. Horrible Customer service, she absolutely should not be running the place. There needs to be a different solution to people showing up who don't know. Also, they had half the restaurant shut down. If you don't know their system, which I didn't, you're screwed according to Caroline and sucks to be you. Don't recommend. You might never get in and get a chance to taste their food. read more

The Original Pancake House - Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Everything about this place was phenomenal! We put our name on the wait-list and drove over from our hotel. We were greeted and seated right away with a packed house. Our server was attentive and made sure we had refills and a box togo when needed. We ordered the chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon and bananas, plus the meat and eggs breakfast with potatoes and regular pancakes. The bacon was one of the best things, super thick and full of flavor, plus the quantity was super filling! We will absolutely be back and can't wait to try more things! read more

I was so excited to have my apple pancake, but it fell so short of my expectations. I had never been to the Tacoma location but it was the closest for what we were doing that day. Our service was not the greatest. I noticed our server spent so much time with every other table but ours. My apple pancake barely had any cinnamon flavor and the apples were just plain. It lacked so much flavor and was dry. This is not how it should've been. My friend for the strawberry crepes and they were pretty good, I think there was too much syrup on them and that needs to be minimized because the crepes get soggy. My mom got the egg and potatoes with the pumpkin waffle. She loved the pumpkin waffle. I wouldn't recommend this location. I think the staff is bad and don't really care about their customers. read more

The Original Pancake House - '''Apple Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I haven't visited this location on 6th ave in Tacoma before but I will again. My friend had never visited the Original Pancake House before and she was an immediate fan. She ordered the Apple Pancake and I ordered my favorite cherry Kaifa crepes. I usually eat at the Gig Harbor location since I live on the other side of the pond, but I have to say this location's Apple Pancake was better but I like the cherry crepes in Gig Harbor better. The staff was welcoming and accommodating even with my walker in very limited space. It was very busy but they took great care of us. It was a wonderful experience. The next time I'm in the area during early morning Happy Hour, Im stopping by for some of my favorite pancakes and their spectacular bacon. I'm looking forward to it. read more

It took a long time to get seated (about 45 minutes) on Sunday around 11:30 but that's understandable since it was crowded. Service felt very rushed and we were discouraged from ordering the apple pancake and Swedish pancake cuz we were told it would take an extra 20-30 minutes to make it. Our friends from Spokane were too hungry by then to wait that long so they just ordered regular food. My classic eggs Benedict was just ok. Nothing special. I liked what I ordered last time I came: blueberry pancakes and bacon. The bacon is delicious. read more

Usually I enjoy the food at the restaurant but delivery is not the best. Arrived in a messy, pitiful presentation. Small portion of corned beef hash. Pancakes as a side choice. Just not worth 32.00 I'd post a Pic if I could. read more

Great breakfast, everything tasted great and our server was the best! Very busy around Sunday brunch time but they text you when your table is ready after putting a name down on the waitlist so the neighborhood is a fun place to window shop while waiting! read more

I was craving a Dutch Baby Pancake and I got exactly what I wanted even with the high prices of eggs and shortage problem. This is my go-to anytime I go to an Original Pancake House-- my first time at this Tacoma location. If you don't know, asides from adding the butter, lemons, and powdered sugar it comes with, I still like to also add some maple syrup on top, lol. I also get a side order of extra crispy bacon and, if you're a coffee lover, do not skip their diner coffee which is just coffee but it helps make the meal ;-) read more

First time coming here after reading the reviews and checking out the prices on the menu provided on Yelp. Come to find out the prices on Yelp were completely different than the menu provided at the restaurant. Each meal was listed on Yelp about $3-$4 cheaper than the prices actually were. It would be nice of the company to update the listing so people have an accurate expectation before sitting down after waiting for a table. Upon arrival, I checked in with the hostess to get placed on the wait-list. She informed us that it would be about a 20 minute wait. After waiting around 30 minutes, I went to check since our text message link to show our wait time had expired, but we weren't called and we were told they were ready for us. Not sure if you have to check on that to get seated or if they just don't call your name because the timer has been expired for at least 10 minutes or so before I checked in. As we were getting seated, our menus were tossed carelessy on the table and my party was completely dismissed. Our server came to get our drink order pretty quickly and we received our drinks. Then it took around 35 minutes until they came back after I asked for them more than once if we could place our food order. Finally after getting our food order, we of course didn't get enough plates since we mentioned we were sharing meals. During our entire meal, we got checked in on once so not really a good experience overall. read more

Love this Original Pancake House. Still on my favs list. We had the Lighter side eggs, potatoes and toast with a bacon side and a half order of Pecan Pancakes (yeah 3 large cakes is more than enough some days). Always the coffee! Great menu. Today was slightly off as the staff was a bit short and it was full as usual but the food was excellent as always. Recommend: Sourdough toast, any pancakes and the bacon (thick sliced full sized). Restrooms: clean Service: good MyfitnessPal: yes and I emailed the company and they sent me a pdf for nutrition- great customer service! Menu calories are accurate Tip: sign up for the points and get free sides, $$ off etc all year long and on your birthday month read more

This is the word breakfast place I have ever been, the French toast was terrible and flavorless the potatoes had no seasoning and tased like a burn pan and the Bacon was so hard and burnt it cut the inside of my mouth, all that totaled out to 100 dollars... WAIST OF MONEY!!! The pancakes were the only thing that wasn't burn or nasty read more

We stopped by for breakfast and were seated immediately. The waitstaff were very friendly and even told us a bunch of dad jokes at the end. My husband ordered an Irish breakfast and got something else, so he let the waitstaff know. They brought him out something else, some kind of cheese omelet with hollandaise sauce - definitely not that Irish breakfast. But it was good and he ate most of it anyway, the waitstaff were busy and we didn't want to send another dish back. My friends Benedict wasn't supposed to have spinach, she asked for it to be made without. And the side of bacon my friend ordered came out after the meal. The food was okay. The waitstaff were great. read more

10/10 visit this morning!!! Came in after a long stressful night, and was greeted with so much positive energy. From service, to food all around a great vibes. Shout out to the ladies that took care of us Grace and Charity read more

I really liked this location. I've eaten at the one in Puyallup but this one was much better. The server was quick and efficient. Everyone there was upbeat and had a smile on their faces. Literally everyone there was happy to be there and that's nice to see and feel. The manager was even visible. It's small and the parking lot is a bit crammed but I still would recommend it. I'm a big breakfast person so I enjoyed everything. The pancakes, chicken sausage, potatoes, eggs over easy, eggs over hard, biscuits, gravy, and freshly squeezed orange juice. I wish they had a variety of creamers for the coffee. Other than that I would absolutely return. We went on a Saturday morning around 9:30 and there was no wait. It was super busy when we were leaving and the lobby was overloaded with ppl waiting to be seated. read more

Ordered take out and was not expecting such a bad breakfast. Portions were very small and for the price of $40 for 2 dishes...was absolutely not worth it. Lacked flavor and quality. Pancakes were extremely thin and small. The blueberries in the pancakes were very OLD. They were shriveled and hard to chew..had a bad taste too.. gee come on. If it's old, why use them?? Scrambled eggs were wet and cold. The eggs Benedict was just fine, very small portion of potatoes that came along with it. Don't think I'll order from here again. It wasn't good. Save your money folks. read more

I rarely come for breakfast but it was a nice treat to go have breakfast with my wife so we came to Original house of pancakes. We were greeted and say right away. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes and wifey had the strawberry crepes. I was so excited but as I was spreading the butter over the pancakes there was a hair... errrr I immediately lost my appetite, I finally got a managers attention and apologized, had it remade, they also took it off my bill. Overall despite the hair everything else taste ok. The chicken sausage was a bit dry and burnt. Food runner and server wasn't that happy she didn't look like she wanted to be there. Probably not will be back again. read more

The service here is phenomenal, Charity always is so personable, accurate, always ahead of our needs! She's a mind reader. Even on her busiest days, she makes sure we are well looked after during our dining experience. Alan , who I assume to be the manager, is the best. Makes sure we're satisfied with our meal & service. He also makes us feel so welcomed. Food is always served fresh & hot , great quality, always consistent, and out so fast!! Happy hour is an AMAZING deal. All of that is why we keep on coming back. Thank you guys :)) read more

As always the Corn Flakes French Toast is rich in flavor and texture. The bacon is burnt crispy and perfect. Humanity has had pigs and fire for over 10,000 years and somehow too many restaurants still don't understand that bacon should be served crispy and crunchy. We aren't chewy bacon savages anymore, and Pancake House understands that. Bravo. read more

Cheddar and Bacon Omelete What a spectacular omelete. It had the perfect ratio of meat to egg. The menu said it was a 4 egg scramble and it felt like even more than that! The cheese was a little on the sharper side which typically isn't a preference for me, but it worked nicely with the crispy bacon. The pancakes were perfectly prepared nice and soft. And the server went above and beyond. Making sure I was taken care of, my food came out fast, and hell she even hit me with a couple of jokes to cap the meal off. read more

Great experience. The food was good. The ambiance was and it was packed. The service was pretty good

Probably the most basic(cheap ingredients) diner I've been too. The design and idea is great marketing though and host was nice. I came to get the German pancake and after waiting at the table for 20m the waiter said are you sure you want to order that it will take another 20m to make... whaaaaat!? I really wanted it but we were getting hangry so I pivoted to a traditional breakfast dish.. so basic that McDonald's would have been a better choice. I wouldn't recommend this anytime read more

This place was packed because of the street fair going on. But they got us in quickly our waitress, a young blonde girl, was super sweet and walked us through the menu. Service was quick and the food was fantastic,especially the bacon. will definitely be back soon! read more

I don't always eat breakfast, but when I do, it's a Dutch Baby at OPH. Worth the wait.

They told us the wait was going to be 10-15 minutes, after 35 minutes of waiting we decided to leave.

I absolutely love this place. Their food is amazing and the portions are generous. A bit on the pricey side but you pay for quality. Parking can be difficult at peak times especially on weekends. Their German pancakes are delicious and so are obviously their pancakes in general. Make sure to try their homemade sausage you won't be disappointed. read more

Purchased a "buy this mug get free coffee for life" coffee mug. This is a lie. Came in today and the coffee price was added to the check. I kindly asked to have it removed because I had brought my own mug in. This was not honored. Waiter said the free coffee was only included with the shorter version of this cup. I asked "why would I purchase the wrong cup?" I've never even seen a shorter cup. Food is great. Wait times are okay. But they also sell disappointment. read more

Very quick and friendly service. The waitress was attentive and helpful. Food was great. Nothing to complain about. Place was clean and not overly noisy. Great time with my daughter for a date. I will be going back. Slappy Cakes in Portland is also a favourite for pancakes..... but The Original Pancake House has them beat by sheer quality, quantity, and types. The draw for Slappy Cakes is you make your own on a griddle in your table allowing you to design and decorate. read more

Big portions and it all tastes great! Use the waitlist so you can take your time getting there.

Normally I try not to go to a chain restaurant when I am on vacation but sometimes you just want some good pancakes and eggs. The Original House of Pancakes never disappoints. Great food and great service. I was able to walk in and get a table. Order the food and get it in a timely manner....what more can you ask for? One of the servers pointed out the picture of the 1st Original House of Pancakes. I thought that was cool! Didn't realize it had been around that long. If you are looking for a place that provides a great breakfast consistently The Original House of Pancakes is it. read more

Everything about this location was amazing. My brother, my husband and I were visiting from Hawaii a couple of weeks ago and we just happened to stumble upon this restaurant for breakfast. Honestly, we "Hopped" from another Pancake chain restaurant bc we stood at the host stand for 5 minutes with not even an acknowledgement and decided to take our money and business elsewhere. Thank God we did! Because we walked into The Original Pancake house on 6th Ave and Pine and from entering we were immediately greeted with a smile and amazing customer service and seated immediately. Then our amazing server John was top notch! He was so awesome knowledgeable and professional it just renewed our faith in the fact that there are workers who still love what they do bc it exudes in the service they provide. Thank you John! All restaurants should have more amazing employees like you. You set a very high standard. And when we are back in Tacoma we will definitely come back to this specific location because of you! Thank you and God bless you John! Mahalo read more
