Fast and kind service!!! Good food and the best pancakes. Staff were friendly and accommodating, it is a really cute vintage aesthetic.

I stopped by this breakfast spot last weekend and was genuinely impressed. The pancakes were fluffy, the omelet was perfectly seasoned, and the coffee stayed fresh throughout the meal. Service was friendly without being overbearing, and the staff made everyone feel welcome. The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and relaxed, making it a great place to start the morning. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying breakfast with excellent service and comforting food. read more

Original pancake house is the OG of pancakes. Right now they've got fresh local strawberries. Whenever family is in town and we are looking for a good brunch the Original Pancake House is my go to. There's something for everyone. The German pancake or the smaller version the Dutch baby are favorites The potato pancakes were a little bitter, but they were quick to offer anything I needed. Sour cream and apple sauce. I decided to try to go for healthy and the chicken crepes with almond shavings hit the spot. Service was fantastic I bet she refilled our water a half dozen times. We had no wait and fresh strawberries while we waited for our food. I'll be back! read more

OPH seems to have become a new family tradition for us. We've been here three years in a row to celebrate all of our family's March birthdays. Each year, they handle our large party of 6 with ease. We've always gone on a weekend morning or early afternoon and it's never been a problem. They know how to quickly turnover tables and set them up. Service is on point- coffee refills, orders taken, food comes out fast, and never a mistake. OPH is a well oiled machine. My personal favorite is their apple pancake. If you like apple pie, this is a must have! Just note, this dish takes a bit longer to make- it even says it on the menu. It's worth the wait- trust me! Plenty of parking, easy to find, family friendly! Big win in my book! 5 stars! read more

As we entered the restaurant we noticed that they were full on a Saturday morning! Only a 5 minute wait and we were seated by a window. The owner stopped by and apologized for the the delay and even brought us our delicious coffee. We could not decide which of the breakfast options so we decided to share apple and peach. Both tasted like they had just been picked ! Definitely worth the wait and the price ! Good place for breakfast ! read more

The breakfast is always what we expect! The coffee is the best we came basically for the coffee is delicious read more

I visited this place a few times but unfortunately the quality seems to be dropping from this place. I've been here both on a weekday and weekend morning. The weekend morning can definitely be more crowded (including Friday morning) so there's a chance you'll need to wait to get seated. It's also pretty loud inside so aware about that. I really liked the food here back in the days (I've also had it down in Poway and up in OC area) but I noticed the quality is not the same as it used to be. First of all, service has been okay but took really long for our server to come to get our order along with giving the check. The other thing is that the prices definitely have increased and the food isn't what it seems to be anymore. The pancake just seemed dry and cold and the eggs (for two) look so tiny along with the links tasting a bit meh as well. My other friend (who was visiting CA) had a side of potato pancakes and it was a disaster where it wasn't how the pics showed but was just a messy hash brown with big chunks of potato. This really used to be one of my favorite places for breakfast but prices are too high, service was meh, and the food quality has dropped that I wouldn't want to come here anymore. Such a shame for a great breakfast diner to not be as good as it used to be. read more

delicious food, very nice staff. Will comeback for a nice hot stack of cakes and some coffee.

Our family loves this restaurant. Their food is delicious! Our favorites are the pancakes and the waffles. The waffle is always perfectly golden and crisp just how I like them! The pancakes are light and fluffy how my children like them. read more

Love love love their food here. and their service is always so great! we moved to vista from anaheim and we use to wait 45 min to an hour to be seated at the original pancake house over there and now we wait no more than 5-10 minutes which is the best especially when we have two impatient little ones . i also love their fresh coffee and orange juice which is what i always get . read more

I have been coming here with my family for 20 years, ever since I was a child, and it has consistently been amazing service and great tasting food! We always have to get the Dutch apple pancake and the Mediterranean omelette ! All the omelettes and pancakes we have tried have been amazing and giant portions great for family style sharing. I hope this place will stay here forever and we can continue to enjoy it with friends and family. read more

This is one of our go-to breakfast places when we're in the area! The service is always friendly and efficient. The food is always well prepared and tasty. We've had their egg breakfasts as well as their Benedicts, and of course the pancakes! There is amble parking and seating inside. The interview gives off light and airy, like an outdoor cafe feel. Truly a must try! read more

We came in as a big group on Saturday. We waited for a while to be seated and it took several hours to place and receive our orders. But the staff was trying their best to accommodate us. I tried many dishes. The cherry crepe was delicious but i couldn't finish it because the portion was big (all of their dishes are huge portions). I'm a fan of their potato pancakes! The apple pancake looked huge but tasty. The walnut pancakes were a bit dry for my taste because I don't like having syrup in general. Overall it's a good place for weekend breakfast/brunch. read more

When you first walk in, the décor is pleasant. There's a white bench with themed pillows, and for our visit, the restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day with heart-themed pillows and a few wall accents. The overall environment is simple and inviting. Unfortunately, we weren't able to fully enjoy the atmosphere due to our seating placement. We were seated in the very back corner, next to the exit sign, the kitchen area, and two large fans that interfered with our space and comfort. The setup felt awkward and made the experience less enjoyable. Additionally, several parts of our order were incorrect or incomplete. A few items were missing -- including drinks, side dishes, and specific requests -- and we experienced a long wait both for our order to be taken and for the food to arrive. While we understand it was Valentine's Day and a busy time, we did notice guests who arrived after us receiving their food sooner. Overall, the décor and general ambiance were nice, but the seating arrangement and service issues significantly affected our visit. read more

I really like the old-timey feel of this place. The door does need fixing, though if they handed me a screwdriver, I could fix it right away. They have a variety of menu items, including a dutch baby, and a monte cristo, however the monte cristo is only served on weekdays. It's a shame that it's only served on weekdays because it is one of my favorite brunch choices. The service here is friendly. read more

apple pancake insane so good thick and more of an eggy taste than a regular pancake. the eggs benny is good too!
