This is a very nice place to come to for breakfast. The people working here are very cordial and attentive. The pancakes are light, but filling. We will be back when we visit area. read more

When I got seated there was trash and food on the floor so I changed tables. When I ordered the eggs and bacon meal the waitress actually walked over the mess on the floor. The food came and the bacon was actually burnt. The waitress said oh you don't like t well done? I said it was burnt and not edible. She kindly brought me new bacon that was also burnt. She was friendly enough but when it came time to pay I told them to make an adjustment for the burnt bacon. The manager took $3.50 off of the $14.00 bill. I will never set foot in that restaurant again. read more

Went to the pancake house with my little girl. Service was pretty quick but the servers are clueless. The kids menu has no prices but when you ask about them they say "between $3-$6.95". So the most expensive thing is pancakes with either egg, sausage or bacon for $6.95. My daughter wants chocolate chip pancakes and the server doesn't knoow how much it is. We get tthe bill, 3 small chocolate chip pancakes and two sausage was $9.50. The pancakes were nasty and soggy in the middle, she only took one bite. My scrambled egg and and biscuit with gravy were pretty good, not great but I liked it. Spoke with manager she could careless. She said ok but there is always an up charge. I did pay my entire bill before speaking to the manager. read more

Really good food but crap service would have to work extremely hard to hit mediocre management has failed their staff to allow operating in this manner read more

Love this place and love it even more now that I am gluten free and they have options as well. It's nice that I can go here with my family and still have gluten free pancakes. read more

Wow. I really tried to give this place another chance after 6 years of a personal boycott but it's still rolling down hill with no end in site. The service was still a total miss and the overall resturant itself is falling apart with zero up keep or upgrades. Three tables In The resturant and it still took 15mins to get coffee and water. I understand restaurant's are understaffed but this review is not based on understaffing issues. This is based on the lack of attention and detail to the basics. Come on. You guys had years to clean up the place. Had plenty of time to purchase a $20 sander at home depot to clean up the side panels. Not exactly what I want to look at when I'm paying $25 dollars for pancakes. read more

The Original Pancake House - Wore down walls that have been cleaned up in years. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Temecula, California

I recently went to this location reluctantly after having a bad experience at the Vista location. But I was completely blown away by what a difference there was. Our beverages were served immediately after we placed our order, and their coffee was on point. We had an amazing waitress, Kim, who was very knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients in the items (due to food allergies). After placing our order, Kim set us up with beverage refills and kept that coffee cup topped off and hot. Food came out, exactly as ordered, and we stuffed ourselves as the portions are huge. I am clumsy and dropped my fork and knife, but Kim was on it immediately which was surprising considering how busy she was with all the customers. The experience overall was great but the waitress really set it over the top. Definitely going back again soon! read more

If I could give the restaurant 0 stars I would. We went for late breakfast. Almost no wait, other than a large amount of tables that needed to be cleaned. We got sat, more than 10 minutes for someone to take out drink order and even then I had to ask someone to help us. Took 20 minutes to get a cup or coffee. The waitress finally came to take our order. Food took forever to arrive and the most basic dish ham and eggs was cold. The eggs Benedict was served partially made. They said "potatoes will be right out". She finished before they ever arrived. Zero refills. Zero checking in. I would have talked to the manager. But she was our waitress. Waste of $85. I will never go back. read more

Nope not it! We ordered our food and he received his food first nice and hot, my food was extremely cold to the touch. i get that his food took longer because he had a thick omelet, but that is no excuse for an egg Benedict to be cold! On top of that the waiter had zero empathy. The staff is rude, the food is sub par. i mean.. if i were you I would drive around the corner to another breakfast place because there are several in the Temecula& Murrieta area. It's a no for me! read more

It's been sometime that I hadn't been here and the other morning I felt like their pancakes. Well I went in and they were NOT the same as I remember them. They tasted like the regular old pancakes sold at ihop or dennys. They must've changed the recipe to them or there must be new ownership because they were horrible. Why do businesses have to change something that was so good! Very disappointing!! read more

I had a buisness breakfast at The Original Pancake House in Temecula, CA on June 17th. The restaurant was clean and everyone was pleasant. They were able to accommodate our party and put us towards the back so we could have a meeting. It was so hard to discuss buisness because the food was so amazing and we couldn't stop talking about it. The portions were gigantic and so yummy!!!! Our server "Kim" was super sweet and very knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended a few dishes and we ordered them. Her recommendations did not disappoint!!! She was very attentive and made sure our Ice tea and coffees cups stayed full. We will be going back on a regular basis. read more

If I could give -10, I would. The Original Pancake House used to be One of my favorite treats for my husband & I, so I brought my whole family of 7 to dine together. They knew I'd raves about the food & service. Ugh! We waited nearly an hour for our food & after we spoke w/ the owner, we waited longer. When the food did come, it was inedible & the kitchen smelled like burning plastic & so did the Food. My bill was $140+ & no one could eat the food nor did the manager care when I calmly presented my disappointment. NEVER again read more

It used to be much better . Been going there for 10+ years . The pancakes are rubbery , service spotty and not as pleasant. I'll wait for some positive reviews before I go back . read more

The food was good as was the service. A little pricey, so I was sad to see my breakfast didn't come with potatoes. I think they've changed up the seating inside, as all they offer now are little two seater tables pushed together- when the food came, there was no place to put it. read more

Something has definitely changed. My last visit was a bad experience; my sausage patties were undercooked and still pink. They smelled like they were spoiled. The syrup was very watery. One employee told me that happened because the dunk the syrup dispensers in a bucket of water to clean them. Oh my really. Maybe I should call the health department the more I think about this. I hope nobody gets sick or severely ill from eating here. read more

Where do I begin? Just spent $80 on two omelettes, French toast, Dutch pancake, and a junior pancake breakfast. The omelettes were overcooked and burnt, couldn't take more than a few bites. Dutch pancake was soggy, junior breakfast was missing the eggs. And oh my, the French toast- who makes French toast out of sour dough bread!? Last but certainly not least, the customer service is lacking tremendously. We were met with rude employees when given someone else's food while picking up our order. Seriously, I feel robbed. $80 flushed down the drain. There are much better options for breakfast in the area. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

We're regular customers here. Excellent food, excellent service. BUT RIGO,THE MANAGER SUCKS AS A WAITER. He literally got everything we ordered wrong, and when we brought it to his attention, he got it wrong again. Manage the restaurant, leave the serving to the professionals that work for you. read more

So, we passed this place leaving dinner a couple of days ago. We decided to stop by for breakfast. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette and the hubby ordered a Mediterranean omelette. Both meals came with pancakes; oh he also ordered chicken sausage. The omelettes were humongous. Mine was really good, but we sent his back. It was so runny and looked gross. They were very good about taking it back, refunding is and offering to replace it. We opted for the refund . Good food and great customer service. read more

Many years ago, in my late 20s I used to love going to The Original Pancake House for the Apple Pancake, I used to eat the whole thing! Loved that place! When we moved to Riverside county I was elated to see there's one near by our new home, but alas, I am in my 50s and can't eat it all anymore, only 3/4 of it, my husband ate the rest I actually like this one the best, like the atmosphere, the friendly crew and the cleanliness. I must go back for much healthier choices....or not read more

Wow this restaurant has really gone downhill. Og pancake house was a family fav for us but the last time we went was subpar at best and today's visit was the nail in the coffin. The pancakes were rubbery, the corned beef hash was over salted and was not delicious like it normally is. The waitress was nice but didn't refill our drinks after we had to ask. The eggs Michael has changed drastically. It used to be a handmade sausage patty now it's a small prepackaged tiny sausage disc. The poached eggs were way over cooked (basically scrambled) on two of the dishes we ordered. The waitress brought us new eggs but by the time it came out our meal was cold. The food quality has gone down but the price of the food is still high. What a disappointment. read more

Where do I even begin. Most of us have very little time to hop in the car and get a free moment to get out with our very busy schedules to do anything but when you drive from Murrieta alllllllllllll the way to Temecula because you are thinking that like it says on the website it's open till 3 pm and you get there at 2:05 and the girl is at the door saying I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I know our door says 3pm and our website says 3pm but we close at 2pm. That is ridiculous!!!! Litterally ridiculous!!!!! Thanks for the hour round trip commute and gas prices the way they are but your " I'm so so sorry " made everything better !!!! read more

We love going to the Original Pancake House...we discovered the size of the omelettes are so generous we usually split for three of us one veggie omelette, an order of pumpkin pancakes, and sausage. Today we all got are own thing- the potato pancakes are incredible and my son loved the chocolate chip pancakes! Today we also had the BEST SERVER since frequenting the restaurant. Kimberly is AWESOME- extremely friendly, very attentive to our needs, and truly made it such a wonderful experience! We normally love sitting on the outside patio with the beautiful spring weather but today we stayed inside and were equally happy. What a great way to start this Easter weekend ! read more

Good food and good service. Kinda hard to find on google maps. Also, a little hard to find a close by parking spot.

If you want pancakes this place has pancakes. Some of the sizes of the dishes will blow your mind. The apple pancake is a thing of crazy beauty. The German pancake is gigantic. The coffee is hot. The food is great. It's always time for breakfast. read more

The Original Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Temecula, California

This review has nothing to do with COVID impacted business. Simply put, as far as the pancakes go, I've had better. My pancakes experience is made up of diners and IHOP. Or places that really know what a soft, piping hot pancake must be to satisfy. The service at this place was/is excellent. So what they lack in taste they make up for in style. 2 stars for food. Another star for the service. I would come back. read more

Well it's been a week now feeling ng much better. So question . Will I be eating here again. I'm going to have to say no. I'm a little scared as I've been here plenty of times and I loved it. But this last time sent me to the ER. read more

The OPH exceeded my expectations by a long shop. I went in expecting a Waffle House kind of restaurant where the food was decent but not great by a long shot. I'm pleasantly surprised! The Dutch baby/German pancake is my favorite and I find myself craving it every morning! 10/10 read more

I had the crab Benedict it was absolutely horrible. I could not find any crab in the crab cake the cake was mushy flat and really dark the poached egg was over done and the holandaise sauce was like gravy I sent it back and settled for eggs hash browns and turkey sausage and still disappointed the hash browns were chewing. My husband was also disappointed with his omelette it was thick with cheese his pancakes were flat. This is not a place recommend read more

Kim was the best waitress ever! We had a great meal because Kim was funny, nice and completely on top of serving. The owner is lucky to have her! Of course the food was fantastic too! read more

There is an OPH near us inthe South Bay, however, our first time dining with them was in Temecula. I was impressed just as my friend had suggested. Their pancakes were "melt-in-your-mouth" DELICIOUS. I had ordered an omelette and the added side were their regular pancakes --- amazing! I highly recommend this place as a mut go to for breakfast. Btw, service was impeccable! read more

I came here on Saturday morning with my friend to have breakfast. She had never eaten here before so I brought her here for a treat. Wish I hadn't. The place was dirty. The floor needed sweeping under the tables especially after the toddlers leave. The wooden high chair where we sat should have been removed but wasn't. The food wasn't good. I remember the pancakes being really good and fluffy, except they were flat and hard. My eggs Benedict had no flavor and my poached egg was over cooked. Needless to say this is the last time I'll go to The Original Pancake House. It's sad to see so many restaurants go downhill after Covid. Where's the quality in the food and the cleanliness in the restaurants these days? read more

The food wasn't what I was expecting, while the server was super sweet, the food was less than mediocre. I had ordered an omelet that came out looking like a flat tire. Super dry and completely untasteful. Should have stuck to pancakes as originally planned. Maybe it would have been better. Sometimes it's best to keep it simple. read more
