    Spinach Omelette
    Nancy L.

    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!

    Good extensive morning menu
    Jeffrey B.

    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.

    Kids Full Breakfast Chocolate Chip Pancakes, turkey sausage links, egg whites scrambled
    Grace H.

    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.

    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.

    Corned beef hash
    Logan S.

    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.

    Buckeye pancakes
    Gillian S.

    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!

    Banana pancakes

    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

    Do you need reservations?

    You don't need reservations! I've never used one and have been able to sit down rather quick, however on the weekends during peak times you may have to wait. You give your phone number and you can walk around while you wait.

    Is it super noisey like first watch my mother has hearing issues?

    The time of day that I went it was not noisy at all so it could vary on the time of day. I went during the week and it was hardly anyone there at the location on Lane Avenue

We absolutely loved the décor and, especially, how they preserved some of the original school elements, such as the lockers, giving the space a unique character and charm.

The service was excellent, with a very attentive and professional staff. But what impressed me the most was the menu: healthy choices presented with creativity, proving that eating well doesn't have to mean sacrificing flavor.

We started with a Hot Apple Cider, topped with maple-infused whipped cream and cinnamon, along with a couple of hot coffees. The cider was warm, comforting, and full of cozy fall flavors. Unfortunately, the self-serve coffee station wasn't kept stocked, and after waiting quite a while for a refill, we eventually gave up. For breakfast, we ordered two Mushroom Frittatas, a Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, and a side of Housemade Breakfast Sausage. The Mushroom Frittata featured three hearth-baked eggs with roasted mushrooms, sweet onions, and Gruyère cheese, served alongside breakfast potatoes and a peppery arugula salad. It was flavorful, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Although I informed the staff about my peanut allergy, I was surprised to find the crispy breakfast potatoes on my plate, which left me uncertain whether the allergy request had been fully communicated to the kitchen. The Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, served with strawberry preserves, was one of the highlights of the meal. It was flaky, buttery, and wonderfully moist, pairing perfectly with the sweet preserves. The Housemade Breakfast Sausage consisted of two peppery pork patties that were juicy and well-seasoned, making a great accompaniment to the rest of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious and filling breakfast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. While I wish the coffee station had been monitored more closely and that greater care had been taken regarding my food allergy, the Mushroom Frittata and fresh biscuit alone make Northstar Café worth returning to.
