We stopped by The Original Pancake House for brunch, and it was absolutely amazing! The food came out hot, fresh, and delicious--just the way brunch should be. The coffee was excellent and kept coming, which is always a plus. I had the Shaved Ham Eggs Benedict, and it was so good! Perfectly prepared and full of flavor. If you're visiting, you also can't go wrong with the Golden Waffle--crispy, light, and absolutely delicious. Great food, great coffee, and a wonderful brunch experience. We highly recommend The Original Pancake House and will definitely be back! read more

Not bad, just not as good as I had heard. The pancakes were very good, but I was expecting a little more since it's their whole focus. The were hot and tasty, good enough to eat with little or no syrup, served what I'm guessing is hot off the griddle. The sausage patties were fine, not super hot and maybe not just made? My eggs were good, served exactly as I asked. My server was polite, attentive and professional. Coke served in a bottle for $3.45. I prefer fountain and I like to see sodas come in closer to $2. The place was very clean and my booth was comfortable. If I were ranking just on the pancakes, I'd have given it four stars , the other food pulled it down. read more

Pumpkin pancakes were amazing and I also enjoyed the Irish omelette. The service was quick, the ambience was marvelous. Such a great experience. read more

I heard this was a good place for breakfast so I decided to try it out. Everyone had the same idea because it was packed. Was greeted and seated quickly. My server immediately brought me some water and took my beverage order. I did notice the beverages were on the pricier side. I really wanted orange juice but wasn't going to pay $7 so I settled for apple. The apple juice was watery but drank it anyways. I went with a savory meal and ordered the corned beef hash. Even with the busy crowd, my food came out quickly. It was very bland. I had to add pepper to give the corned beef some life. Thank goodness the potato pancakes came with applesauce and yogurt otherwise no taste. They were also thinner than I expected. Overall, the portion size matched the price. Overall not a bad place for breakfast. Service was good but wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Avoid the omelettes. All I can assume is that these come prepackaged and are either heated or microwaved on site? There is zero ways to make scrambled eggs, corn, beef, hash, and cheese taste this incredibly horrible. This is how bad Americans taste buds have become with garbage places like just try to feed us. read more

My review is price/value based Clean restaurant and very good service but the thing that threw me off was the pricing, it's very expensive for a breakfast joint, a simple cup of coffee $5. I have no issue spending some money on a dinning experience but this one doesn't justify it in anyway, nothing "special" to demand it. Two cups of coffee and two small OJ's has the tab at $32 before you order food. (Best OJ I've had) The staff was pleasant, we got sat down within 10 min in a busy Sunday, the food was good but its eggs, pancakes, waffles, hash-browns.... I'll stick to First watch, Waffle House or the local mom and pop moving forward. read more

Food is always amazing, great staff and clean space. Pancakes and bacon never disappoint!

Can't believe we didn't come here earlier. It had been years since I'd been to one of these, but came for Father's Day and was wowed by the breakfast. Got an omelette and specialty pancakes. We all loved what we got. We'll definitely be back. To be honest, I'm surprised anyone's complaining about these prices? It's not the cheapest in the world, no, but everyone's taken pricing and for what you get, I actually think it's very reasonably priced compared to other places. Our server was super friendly, and honestly the vibes were right too. read more

Title: Overpriced and Unjustified Charges I took my family of five (three kids) to The Original Pancake House in New Albany for brunch to celebrate my wife's birthday, expecting a nice, simple meal. What I didn't expect was to leave feeling completely taken advantage of by their absurd pricing. First, the bill came to $116.74 before tip. For what? Pancakes, hash browns, and some drinks? The charges here are completely outrageous. A "Dutch Baby" for $15.95? A single side of sausage for $7.95? Even the kids' pancakes are priced as if we were dining at a high-end steakhouse, not a casual breakfast spot. What's worse is that no one disclosed the add-on charges for things like onions, cheddar cheese, or other basic toppings--each of which came with an extra fee tacked on without warning. A pancake breakfast shouldn't leave me feeling like I was scammed. This was my first time writing a Yelp review, and it's because this experience was so egregious that I had to share it. If you're planning to eat here, be prepared to spend far more than you'd expect for a standard breakfast. The food might be okay, but it's not remotely worth the cost. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else. read more

We had a great visit to the Original Pancake House. Our server was genuinely warm and friendly and set a great tone for the breakfast. The pancakes were light and fluffy and flavorful; bacon was thick; omelette was huge and also filled with fresh ingredients. The restaurant interior is clean, new, and bright. I was impressed and we will be back! read more

Had a fantastic experience on NYE at OPH New Albany! The food was great as always, but the true standout part of our meal was our server Ty. To say the restaurant was slammed would be an understatement, but you'd never know it from the time and care Ty took with each and every table. We literally felt like we were in our own world. She was kind, always had a smile (even while getting buried with tables - some of them not so kind), made (awesome) recommendations and checked on us regularly while still giving us space to enjoy our meal together. Ty is one of those rare unicorns that just makes an experience - and the world in general - a better place. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

Really had a good birthday brunch today at the new location of The Original Pancake House in Westerville (New Albany) Just off Hamilton and 161. It was packed, but at noon on a Sunday it will be. They don't seat you until your party is all there - and that's fine because so many places do that these days. Loved the taste of the waffle!! And the pancakes were great. The bacon was thick- just the way I like it. They get you in and out, and I know some people get upset at that, but it was perfect for us today. I'm glad it's close to us because I'll be back. read more

"Pumpkin Pancakes, Frosting, and Holiday Magic -- Oh My!" The new pumpkin frosting on the pumpkin pancakes is life-changing. Not exaggerating -- it's pure, plate-licking bliss. Executive Chef Jessica deserves a round of applause (and maybe her own Hallmark movie) for this masterpiece! Between the cozy Christmas music, the warm smiles (from our amazing server Lola) and the smell of pancakes in the air, it's safe to say the holiday season has officially begun at The Original Pancake House in New Albany. Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe humming Jingle Bells. read more

Excellent food and amazing service! This location is a great option for Sunday brunch.

Everyone on here complaining about the higher prices but for me this was far and away the nicest staff I've dinned with in YEARS, well worth the price in my opinion. Staff amazing, food great. Only issue for me was that every other Original Pancake house I have been to offered you fresh heavy cream with your coffee and this location had the individual creamers on the table. Took me a bit off guard. For the increased prices I was surprised at this change as this simple thing always elevated the experience for me. read more

I've frequented other locations of OPH so was really happy to see this one was being built so nearby! There was luckily no wait when we visited. We were taken to a booth but found that it wasn't going to be a comfortable fit for our group so asked to be moved to a table instead. This space is much smaller than their other ones at Polaris and Lane Ave and it shows in the table sizes. The food was still their great quality. Service left a bit to be desired, but we were visiting the week they opened so there are always things to be worked out. read more

Now listen friends! I will spend good money on food. No problem with that. But $72 for breakfast for 2 people at a basic I think is ridiculous (this is without the tip btw). The food was solid- what I would expect at a restaurant of this caliber. I ordered banana pancakes and a side of turkey sausage ($7.95 for a side) all of which were tasty. My husband ordered the eggs and bacon dish which comes with some pancakes. Again solid, though we don't like chewy bacon and none of the four thick slices had any crunch. We also ordered a side of hash browns with cheese and onions. Again- solid. The bad? Not the service. Service was fine. Friendly and fast. The bad is how they nickel and dime for everything!! Most sides $7.95. Oh you went to add blueberries to your pancakes? Yo charge. You want basic coffee? $4.95 EACH for the brown water. You want onions on your hash browns? $2.95 cheese on your eggs? $2.95... Now come on. Happy to pay extra for things but these sides are priced at the same as the Barn. As an example, yesterday we went to Littletons in Upper Arlington and had brunch. I had a high quality burger w crispy potatoes. My husband had a gourmet katsu chicken sandwich, fries, two cocktails, and an order of French toast (he's 6'6" with a healthy appetite). All of this food chef prepared and high quality. The bill was $71.00. So... I'm not sure about the original pancake house for a rerun visit. The ambience is fine the food is fine but the prices? I don't think some pancakes and eggs are worth $71. read more

Very poor order ahead experience. Time of order to be ready at 10:50 AM and was not ready until 11:12. 5min drive back to house and eggs, French toast and hash browns were very cold. No butter or taste to French toast. Would only recommend eating in house. Do not order ahead on weekends when busy. read more

I officially found the most expensive "omelette" in Ohio. The $3 upcharge for any toppings. Is outrageous when it is no more than 20 cents of product. When the server ask if I wanted the added veggies/cheese I assumed it was part of the omelet and replied yes, not knowing it was now a $32 breakfast plate. The added salsa comes in a cup the size of a shot glass again excessively overpriced. As for the actual food, it was good but not great! I wish I had taken pictures. The omelet is large, which is to be expected, but if you want to have anything other than the three pancakes that comes with the meal, it's another upcharge. All in all I probably won't be back. The food wasn't good enough to justify the excessive cost. There's a scrambler's right up the same street that is so much better. read more

Went here yesterday for a late breakfast. Although it appeared to be very busy, we were seated immediately and received menus. Our server appeared quickly and was very friendly and attentive. Was pretty surprised at the prices for beverages. My wife ordered a pretty generic breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash breakfast. According to the menu, the CBH is house-made, and it comes with potato pancakes. Let me say my wife's breakfast was well-done, although it was a very basic breakfast that any beginner cook could have prepared. The bacon was crispy, as requested. The CBH was among the blandest I've ever had and was very salty. The potato pancakes were very thin and equally tasteless. The portion size was reasonable for the price, but I've had CBH many different places and this was by far the most disappointing I've had, especially for the prices they charge. It's not the first time I've eaten at OPH. but definitely the most disappointing meal I've ever had there. read more

Rough start folks. Step one, the host table handed us a card with a 4 on it and wrote 40 on their paper, causing a big hassle to get sat that we only investigated/discovered when we heard the table in front of us resolving a similar gaffe. Step two Sat down, LOUD. The booths are short, the ceiling is high, and the walls have no fabric or dampening. The place was packed(first weekend Sunday.) so some grace there, but damn you couldn't design a louder restaurant. Step 3, menu looks good, lots of good stuff on there, I went with Irish eggs Benedict 16.95(!)(corned beef instead of ham). Coffee was mid 4.95(!), weak but balanced, comes in a really beautiful hand made mug. Fresh juice 7.95(!) was pulpy and you can see the machine they made it in, kinda fun. Step 4 food comes out. Partner got Irish omelette 15.95(!) mine was botched. Didn't come with the hashbrowns we talked about. Presentation was blah, huge white plate with tons of empty space and eggs benny in the middle. Pancakes on a separate plate were fluffy and good! I sent back the wrong food and got the corned beef hash benny but it was too late. Not enough appetite left for the admittedly decent hollandaise but the corned beef had zero texture to it and was really off putting, like I'd expect from a can. So wrong food, missing food, too expensive, not charming like a crummy diner or nice like a fancy breakfast place. Costs too much. I'd have stayed off yelp if they gave me a discount or even done a manager table touch but again, they busy. 80 bucks after tips for 2 people and a kids meal. Mediocre. Not coming back. read more

Great customer service and delicious pancakes! I especially appreciate how the gluten free pancakes are just as fluffy as the traditional pancakes! read more

Great service (thanks Lola!) and tasty food! Pancakes are fantastic and came out quick and hot. We loved it and we will be back!

Everything was so very good! Madison was amazing! I will say the portions are beyond huge! I packed over half of my meal up before I even took a bite. I asked for a small side of hash browns instead of the 3 pancakes that come with it. See photo!! Thanks again! read more

Had the Eggs Benedict today, had a special request and it was honored. Food was good. Service from my server not good, never came back to check that my order was made correctly until they dropped the check. Trash all over the floor and not one member of the staff would pick it up! Not even one of the 5 employees standing at the front door counter. As I prepared to leave the bus staff was literally standing just behind me so close waiting for me to get up! I was by myself so it wasn't like they needed that tiny table right away. Food is expensive extra hollandaise sauce $3 extra Fr? WiFi awful. Won't be going often even though it's really close to my home. read more

I got super sick after eating a to go order from these guys on their opening week. It was so bad. I spent the entire weekend in my bathroom so you know what was probably happening. I did not go to the ER or urgent care. I just let it all come out lol Funny, not funny. I rather drive up to Westerville/Polaris area where I know the cooks and the employees are top-notch. These guys are complete trash in new Albany. They need new staffing. They just opened. read more

This was my first visit here and I enjoyed it. Lola was our server and was great. She took our order quickly, kept the coffee hot and checked in with us a few times during our meal. The food is a little pricey, but the portions are generous. We split a huge omelet and waffle that both came out hot and fresh. We also had an order of potato pancakes that were okay, but not very hot. They must have been sitting for a while waiting on the rest of the order - this is the only reason I didn't rate it a five. The sausage was very good as well. We'll be back! read more
