Great start to a breakfast kind of day. Food is good and service is friendly and fast. There is usually a longer wait on weekends but it does move relatively fast and there is a nice area to walk around outside with outdoor space and stores. read more

Overall is pretty good - we got omelettes and regular egg breakfast. The omelette is packed with ingredients. I loved my spinach omelette. Very filling and delicious In terms of the pancakes-I like the Dutch delight but it's nothing surprising mind blowing. The tastes are just ok. Just regular pancakes with regular butter and syrups. Can't think of anything special to say, but the food itself tastes good. The service is not the best, hence one star off. He was kinda rushing us to leave for some reason. We just got our food served and started eating, and he put the bill on the side. We had to get our own water. Very odd behavior. I'm sure it's just a singular incident. read more

It has been years since I have been here. The restaurant is very clean. Our service was quick and our server was friendly. I ordered the eggs and pancakes. My husband ordered the spinach omelette with pancakes. Our food was very good. My husband's omelette was huge! We both took some pancakes home. They also offer a large amount of gluten free choices. We will be back! read more

My first time coming to the original pancake house. We didn't have to wait long and was asked if we would like gluten free menus. We later find out that the owner has celiac disease and wanted to make sure everyone has options. The menu was extensive so it took us a bit to figure out what we wanted. I was a little surprised they didn't have combination plates. Eggs and pancakes etc. Yes you can order a side of bacon but that's $7.95 for 3 slices. I did order it and they turned out to be good size slices. I ordered the blueberry pancakes and you get 6 of them. I finished 5 of them so that was good. It comes with blueberry syrup and regular syrup. Plenty of butter. Lola our server was extremely pleasant and we were able to chat with her to learn more about the restaurant. It was interesting information so we were thankful we met her. There is plenty of seating in booths and tables. They appeared to have enough people working as well. So you didn't have to wait long to be seated or for your breakfast. I was very pleased with everything but especially the service. Thank you Lola for the hospitality and work you do. It made a difference in a rough morning just coming from the doctors office. Keep up the good work and now that we know about the original pancake house we will be back. We also found out that the restaurant in New Albany the manager knows sign language and since I'm deaf we would like to visit there. read more

A group of us for my company went here when we were in Columbus for the conference. I've been to other locations in the past, but never this one. We had a good experience. The staff was super helpful and did a great job with most of our meals. We had a large group of about 15 of us and only one meal was Not out in time. I was impressed with how Marge my kids full breakfast was. I ordered the kids breakfast because I thought I wasn't very hungry, but when it came, it was a pretty full meal and I ate it all. When we told them it was one of our colleagues, birthdays, they came in saying and gave him a birthday cake. Very tidy. I was not at all upset with the experience we had here. read more

This was our second or third visit to this place, but unfortunately, the third time was more of a disappointment than a charm. Our hot chocolates arrived cold, but we chose not to complain since we usually prefer to let minor things slide. However, things escalated when our daughter's omelette came with completely burnt bacon--so charred that pieces were visibly sticking out (as seen in one of our pictures). To add to the frustration, my omelette had two incorrect ingredients, which wasn't what I ordered. On a positive note, the waitress and her manager were incredibly kind and sincerely apologetic, which we appreciated. While the service was warm, the kitchen's attention to detail left much to be desired this time around. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at The Original Pancake House and feel compelled to warn others with food allergies. I dined in and specifically ordered from the restaurant's "gluten-free" menu. I informed my server that I have a gluten allergy and relied on the restaurant's assurances that my meal would be safe. I was served a waffle marked with an allergy pick indicating it was gluten-free. Unfortunately, it was NOT gluten-free. As a result, I suffered a severe anaphylactic allergic reaction that left me physically ill for the rest of the day and throughout the night. My reaction was so severe that I missed a concert we had planned to attend. Afterward, I called and spoke with the general manager, Isaac, who apologized and acknowledged the seriousness of the situation. He stated that they wanted to "do something to make it right" and told me that another general manager, Alexa, would call me back within 30 minutes to discuss what happened. That call never came. After waiting an hour, I called back and received no answer. I waited another hour, called again, left a voicemail, and still have not received any response. What is most concerning is not only that I was served food incorrectly labeled as gluten-free after clearly disclosing my allergy, but also the complete lack of follow-through afterward. Food allergies are not preferences, they are serious medical conditions. When a restaurant offers a gluten-free menu and marks food as allergy-safe, customers should be able to trust that those precautions are being taken seriously. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend The Original Pancake House to anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions. The mistake itself was dangerous, but the lack of accountability and communication afterward made the situation even worse. EDIT: NOT ONCE WAS THERE MENTION OF CROSS CONTAMINATION. The PROBLEM WAS THAT I WAS SERVED THE WRONG MENU ITEM. YOUR RESPONSE CLEARLY SHOWS LACK OF REMORSE AND POOR BUSINESS ETIQUETTE. I am not, and never having sensitive to something that has cross-contamination. I was violently ill because I was served the wrong item and not once did you take any accountability for that. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to eat, gluten-free simply because of your response. I pray that you can take some time to reflect and see your wrongdoings and failures. This is not how you run a business. read more

It was a very nice restaurant. The waiter we had was very good and nice to talk to. I had the Buckeye pancakes and they were great. They give you plenty, I also had the hash browns and again they gave me more than enough. read more

The service was excellent and waitress was professional and friendly. My partner got the blueberry pancakes with eggs and sausage. Eggs cooked perfectly and pancakes were delicious. The corned beef hash was not homemade and the corned beef was out of a can. This is the reason for my 3 stars. Also, the special syrup is $4.50 and a side of bacon is $7.50. In hindsight I should have asked the prices but after the disappointing hash it I was already irked. read more

Finally got here. It's tucked in the back of the mall; getting at it can be a challenge, though you can park out front and walk through. Bright and shiny inside, feels very new. But the service and food feel old, in a good way. Real fresh-made food, served up with a smile and a joke. Half full at 11am on a Monday. All the usual suspects, plus a few specialties. Plus loads of pancakes, of course, served even with other items. I'm not a big fan, so I picked something without them. And also, they have hash, so I was pretty much deciding amongst things that had it. The Irish Benedict seemed appropriate for mid-March, and sounded really good. And it was: tons of good hash, over English muffins, with eggs and a pile of good hash browns. The waitress asked if I wanted cheese and onions on the potatoes, and that seemed like a good idea. She brought hot sauce, but there was plenty of flavor all around. The hollandaise was great, and again there was a lot of it. Fresh-squeezed OJ, pricey but good. It's always been expensive, but it's so much better. And the meal all in all was pretty steep for breakfast, but it was really good and there was more than I could finish. I'll be back, with the family. read more

Stopped here on the way back home for a yummy breakfast before heading back out on the road! I got the Chorizo Eggs Benedict, which is chorizo, onions, bell peppers and two eggs on an English muffin topped with homemade hollandaise sauce! I always love trying new hollandaise sauce and this one was yummy! I do wish it had a little more spice to it, but the cholula sauce did the trick for me! The hash browns - like always - were crispy and good! My friend got the Buckeye Pancakes and those were DELICIOUS! Peanut butter and chocolate together on anything is a good choice! I even got to eat some of them, which was my favorite part! If I ever get the chance to come back down and try this place again, I will definitely be trying some more of their fun-flavored pancakes! read more

I love a good breakfast joint and the OG pancake house does not disappoint with taste. However i do have a little bit of beef with this spot bc it's SO overpriced. I never leave without spending an absurd amount for a simple breakfast. Make sure you come early or be prepared to wait (thought it's usually a short wait time). Just keep in mind they are always packed! My servers have always been kind and attentive nonetheless. Overall a 3.5-4 / 5 rating. I would prefer a small diner for a breakfast as such read more

We are so glad we stopped here while in Ohio for Thanksgiving. These were the best pancakes we've had ever! From plain, to pumpkin to blueberry, everything we tried was delicious. We also liked the coffee, bacon and omelettes. The omelettes were gigantic! Also, our server was so friendly and helpful. His advice and recommendations were spot on. The restaurant was clean and well lit. It was comfortable, tables weren't too close together. We will be back! read more

Our service was nice and friendly. The inside was tidy. The food was good. My favorite thing was the fresh squeezed orange juice. The banana pancakes could have used more banana for my liking.

Jeff is a fantastic server and the food is amazing. Quick, yummy, and friendly! This is my favorite place for breakfast.

It's been 2 years since I first tried this place and I gave it 5 stars then. I have been back several times, including this morning with my grandson, and I have to say it still earned 5 stars! The food is excellent and the staff is VERY friendly and on the ball with everything from making sure my coffee stays full to the tables being cleared and clean.

First timer at this place. Let me start out by saying WTH HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!! This place is a definite must come back karleigh was my server she was wonderful and made great recommendations. She was knowledgeable of the menu. The ambiance is definitely upscale modern diner. I ordered the 49er pancakes which was super light, fluffy definitely does not look like a pancake it's more like a crepe but a delicious buttery dream. I also ordered the eggs and hash browns which the hashbrowns were unlike any I have ever had anywhere else. This place just checked all the boxes of my list. I am an Original pancake rider for life!! Everyone needs to check this place out. ITS FREAKING AMAZING!! read more

The food, oh man, the food was excellent. Pancakes of course were fluffy and tasty. Even their coffee was good! The Irish omelette which is what I had was huge and fluffy and thick! Absolute amazing and will be back! read more

Visited this restaurant on a Wednesday around 10 am. The decor was modern and extremely clean. I got the pumpkin pancakes and they were delicious. I've gotten many things that were allegedly pumpkin flavored and been disappointed but this was the real deal. My wife ordered the pecan pancakes and she very much enjoyed hers. Waitress was attentive with keeping our coffee cups full which was also good. Only downside was it set us back $39 before tip but we left happy and full. read more

The food was excellent, with fast, friendly service. Everything is awesome. Will be back next coming to town.

Strawberry syrup and whip cream for the strawberry pancakes came out in tiny cups, it wasn't even enough for the two pancakes I ate at the restaurant. When I asked for one of each to go for my left over pancake, she didn't say anything to me but charged me $7 for the little cups. OUTRAGEOUS!!! They don't have a soda fountain they charge you for each individual can of soda. I asked for my scrambled eggs to be soft and they were overdone and dry. The waitress also lied to me about the charge but I'm not trying to post her name everywhere. Overall not a good experience and recommend going elsewhere for an overpriced breakfast where they can at least make your food right. read more

The 4 stars are for the pancakes and service. The souffle eh, the omelette never again, the pancakes, yes please. Y'all how good do the pancakes have to be for you to be average with everything else I had and still get 4 stars. Yes, the pancakes are that good. I mean the name says it all. I am not from Ohio but I was told to try this place. I am glad I did because this place is awesome. The staff went above and beyond. I would come back solely for the service. Please please please try this place, get the pancakes and watch how your life change. These pancakes make the world not look so bad. Yes, they are that good! read more

Updating my review. The service is excellent each time we have been here. The restaurant has a typical diner type of ambience, which is airy and comfortable. So far we have tried their pancakes, various omelettes, and eggs Benedict. I would say their omelettes are outstanding, but everything else has been just okay. The banana pancakes are made with over-ripe bananas (and we've ordered them at two different occasions). The eggs Benedict were somewhat drier than they should be and the hollandaise sauce was just okay. However, the hash browns were delicious. read more

I've ordered takeout from here once or twice but never dined in, and I had been missing out! We stopped in here on a busy Sunday, and our party of two was sat immediately (our lucky day)! We quickly started off with a hot chocolate and coffee that came quick and hot. My partner got the Western omelet, which was quite possibly the largest omelet I have ever seen. It was like quiche sized. He liked it, said he wished he would have got it with cheddar cheese, but it definitely had enough ham to make the cost worth it. My hashbrowns and eggs were good. The hashbrowns were wayyy greasier than they looked but still good. Of course, the pancakes were perfect so they live up to their name. Our server was great and we will be back soon! read more

I have been here three times the first two were great, hot food, great service, well managed. It's a loud family style restaurant. The food is only so/so, personally think their pancakes taste like artificial chemicals, so i would never order them, but they have good eggs, hash browns, French Toast and bacon. So my wife and I have gone back, but not often because much like everywhere the pricing is high, figure 14.00 for eggs and hash browns for one child seems insane to me. But, I think everywhere is at this point. The big issue with this place is management and staff. They have a few servers that should be managers and others who shouldn't be employed. The wait staff and management were passive aggressive and rude. This last time, was the last time i'll ever step foot in this place.. Wife and I ordered drinks, we got different drinks, when we said something, new drinks were thrown on the table, without a word, then we ordered food, and the restaurant completely cleared our before it came, 40 min later.. Which was also not the right order, it was also cold on one side, presumably while it sat under heat lamps. We asked for management who came over and immediately was angry we didn't like the service and wouldn't eat the 37.00 cold meals in front of us.. Even the butter was frozen, and i mean legitimate ice was on it. When i told the manager we just wanted to send it back and leave, we were then passively aggressively explained that there was nothing wrong with eating the wrong order, until she gave us the meals, and deleted the check down to a penny because we wanted to tip our waitress, as she entered everything into the computer order pad, and our guess was the staff in the kitchen who every time we looked was on a cell phone, wasn't paying attention to the orders, and with management doing the same thing, no one was running the place. Place and meal was a mess, the right order came out while management was nasty at the table and she was nasty to yet another waitress who was bringing the right order. Out of all the hundreds of places we have eaten, this was the worst management in any of them. It was so bad, we will never step foot in any of them again, not even in different states.. read more

Columbus, Ohio is an eight hour drive so the next morning leaves me a bit fatigued. At the suggestion of my daughter, we went for breakfast at "The Original Pancake House" in upper Arlington which is near The Ohio State University which I'll be going to in the course of my weeks stay. Upper Arlington is an upscale neighborhood of Columbus and the homes and food prices reflect it. The restaurant is located in a courtyard which has a host of other businesses. This restaurant is family owned and operated. The interior is very modern, well maintained and upbeat. I need that in the morning. The seating is comfortable and counter seating is available. We sat at a booth. I ordered the very tasty Blueberry Waffle $14.95. The menu has many options with some unique offerings. The menu also gives you a calorie count. It turns out those Blueberry Pancakes had (978) calories. Put your hands together for Jesus. My cappucino was $4.45 for a decent size cup. The Original Pancake House has sit-in, carryout and a delivery option set-up with Door Dash. I gave this restaurant 3 Stars because New Jersey Diners have spoiled me. read more

There was no wait and once we found the front door we were seated quickly. The waitress suggested adding onions and cheese to the hash browns which both had a hefty price increase and didn't add much to the dish. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The chorizo was delicious and paired well with the toppings. The space was large and open on the inside and felt less cramped than some of their other locations in town. read more
