I can't believe I haven't been here before! I've driven past many times, but overlooked it. It looks almost like a house on the corner leading into the shopping plaza with Kroger. It's pretty small inside. A counter seating area and then may 8-10 tables. We waited 15 or so minutes to be seated. Not bad. My son had the strawberry pancakes and hubs and I shared the chorizo breakfast burrito. Both were very good! I would recommend checking it out. read more

The Pancake House - Chorizo burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Restaurant = 4* Very small, but a nice place. Loses a star for size (wait). Cleanliness = 5* Very Clean Service = 4* Pretty Good, so small they don't have much help. Food = 3* Hollandaise sauce tasted like pure mayo. Pricing = 2* Everything is overpriced for the portions you receive. $7 for a side of two eggs is a complete joke. read more

I've driven by this diner on Schrock Road a number of times since I work around the corner. Today was my first meal at The Pancake House. Couldn't decide between breakfast for lunch or a turkey club sandwich. Chose the breakfast. Make your own omelet with hash browns and a side of 3 pancakes. I got filled right away with all three. Not many booths inside but they do have a counter with individual seats. Service from my waitress was great and friendly. I will certainly return for another lunch meal. (They close at 2:30pm) read more

First time coming to this place ! Food was good if you like coffee like I do they have good coffee! The service is excellent! Our server was exceptional! I highly recommend this place! read more

I'm very disappointed in how I was treated. The sign on the door says they close at 230. We get there at 2 expected to be seated to eat and they say they are only taking to go orders. Clearly there was a couple sitting there waiting to get food and it was after 2. I feel very discriminated against because they were Caucasian. I will not be back! read more

Food is delicious. Fast service. Dinning area is very small but nice diner feel. Service is super! It is hard to find and parking lot is small so you may have to park at the plaza. read more

The food was great, I got the buckeye pancakes and they were to die for. I appreciate our amazing server Nick Jackson. He was quick and very friendly. I also love the modern aesthetic and it brings some elegance to the restaurant. read more

This small pancake house has a large menu of breakfast and lunch items. The service is fast and the food is good.

It was a nice place. The wait was short to get in. The food was real good and didn't take long at all. The service was good. We were serenaded by the singing cooks. My only complaint is that it was COLD. read more

The food was excellent as well as the customer service. I must say this was the fastest I have ever received my food. The flavor was good as well as the portions. This place is not that big inside, so depending on when you go don't be surprised if there is a wait, also the parking in front of the restaurant only have a few spaces, but there is a big parking real close. I will be back soon. read more

I think the pancake house is my favorite small diner in Columbus! It is super tiny and sometimes you have to wait for a table but it is worth it. There is not a lot of parking so sometimes you have to park in the parking lot over to the left of it but that's okay. I have not tried anything that I didn't like at this restaurant. My favorite is the corned beef hash with 2 eggs any style and hash browns. It is definitely my go to. You can always substitute toast that also comes with it for a pancake and sometimes I do. My step sister ordered the Churro pancake our last visit, their delicious buttermilk pancake deep fried, topped with tres leches drizzle, and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. It was AMAZING but definitely something to share with the table because it's super rich. Pancake house is a must try stable in Westerville, Ohio. read more

It is a cozy space. The original Westerville Pancake house provides quick service and delightfully fluffy pancakes. The country fried steak was topped with a flavorful sausage gravy. The speed was impressive from the crew flying across the griddle. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. read more

Stopped here on a Saturday. The eggs were over done, the hashbrowns not done and somehow the French toast looked done but no, the inside was raw!?! Service was meh and all of it was overpriced. read more

This was very very good. My steak and eggs were exceptionally well prepared and the pancakes were light and fluffy. The hash browns were the basic thing, but that is not bad. It was pleasant to have a reasonable basic breakfast without unusual pairings or seasonings. Your mileage may vary. read more

Omg the crepes are so delicious!! Food and service are great! Especially the biscuits and gravy.

This was our first visit to The Pancake House. It's small and we had a little wait, but not too long. My husband ordered the Buckwheat pancakes with a side of sausage links. I ordered the Chorizo with eggs meal which comes with hash browns and choice of toast, french toast, or buttermilk pancakes. I opted for pancakes (because, Pancake House!). The Chorizo and eggs are flavorful, cooked with onion and tomatoes. I really liked them. The hash browns were ok, could have been a little more crispy. The buttermilk pancakes were good, two large pancakes- it was a lot of food. My husband enjoyed his buckwheat pancakes, three large pancakes that filled the plate, again a lot of food. Service was fast. read more

The Pancake House - French toast Beautiful and delicious . - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

First time here on a Saturday morning. I met a friend and we had to wait about 15-20 for a table, but we were able to sit while waiting. There are only a few parking spaces, so you'll most likely have to park over in the shopping center lot. The place is really small, with tables, booths, and a counter. I would time my next visit for a less busy morning time. The coffee and food were pretty good. I had the chicken & waffles. This will be new on my breakfast rotation. read more

Very clean little place. Service was good. Cook playing music to loud was the first irritation at 7am. The second was the amount of grease on my chorizo skillet. It covered my home fries making them almost inedible. Overall this was a disappointing experience read more

We used to get breakfast to go a few times a year over the past 10 years. We usually got the cinnamon roll pancakes which were excellent because the brown sugar mixture was baked into the pancakes. We were craving buckeye pancakes and decided to try those for the first time and would love to have another alternative over George's Beechwold for them. Well, we watched them put the pancakes together and were very disappointed to see the chocolate and peanut butter chips are just dumped in a pile on top of the stack. So these are plain pancakes with a pile of chips. Nothing in every bite like pretty much every other place that serves chocolate chip pancakes. The other problem with this is the pancakes on their own (which we've never had without add in/ons) are bad. I don't know if it's the mix they use or they are picking up other food on the grill or what but we had to drown it in syrup to make them edible. I'm hoping it was a bad day but the spouse said they weren't going back. read more

Good diner breakfast with a wide selection of food. I got eggs and bacon with French toast, and everything was as it should be - the bacon was particularly well done. The coffee is a bit weak, but I like that in diner coffee, it means I can drink more. They have outside seating, but when I was there, they weren't doing outside service - I got takeout and ate it on the patio, so basically same thing XD read more

This place is what a diner should be. Ownership is on site, they are kind, skilled and care. I am hooked on the cornmeal pancakes, but I've not had a miss ever. The only miss is that there is an "average" restaurant in town with a similar name that people get confused. So good. So good. Minimal seating and it's not a sit and talk for hours spot. Get yourself some good breakfast, have a chat and then get to work you! Oh and the cooks are right in front of you. No funny business. I like that a lot read more

This was our first time coming to a Pancake House, and the reason I'm giving it four stars is because we sat in a booth that was just across from the front door, and it was twenty degrees outside, so BRRR! The décor was die-hard Buckeye"ish" with bright red curtains. I thought the spatula curtain brackets were unique. Now for the food: I like corned beef hash, and not many places have this, so I ordered the eggs, corned beef hash, and potatoes, and it came with a side of French toast. The meal was perfectly cooked, and the portion was more than enough for me. I even had to take the French toast home. The workers were very attentive and energetic, always asking if they could top off my husband's coffee. They even asked if he wanted to take a cup to-go! I will come here again, but when it is warmer. (;0) read more

Have eaten here multiple times! Food is delicious! They are only open for breakfast and they have limited parking directly next to the restaurant. If they are out of parking you'll have to park in the shopping plaza parking and walk over. They are all super nice and helpful. They have a decent amount of verity for breakfast food selections. Feels very homey! Love coming here when I have the chance! read more

The Pancake House - What a way to start my morning - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

DO NOT EAT HERE. TERRIBLE SERVICE. Place was busy, got seats at counter. Took 10 minutes to get menus. 45 minutes later after no word from servers, the guy who came in after us had finished eating and the kitchen hasn't even started making our food. Manager hears us complaining to ourselves and tells kitchen to make our food. We get our food and request it to go because we had been there for an hour waiting. We were still charged sit in tax. We received no discount on food read more

So good! Been meaning to try PH for what feels like forever. Drive by more often than I care to admit and I remember when this was a Little Caesar's. It's been that long! Veggie omelette with hash browns and side of buttermilk pancakes. So very good. Hash browns cooked perfectly crisp. Tons of veggies and cheddar. The pancakes rocked. Not like chain establishments where the pancakes are HUGE. You get three and it's the nice equivalent as 1.5 which is a balanced side. My husband got the works omelette with the side of French Toast. Smart. 3 half slices. About a 10-15 min wait checking in around 11ish am. Would do it again. Five booths. One table and the bar. Small enough to manage and keep the establishment hopping. The ladies room was immaculate. Best part of this whole experience? The staff. My people. Nice to see our community doing exceptional well. Makes me happy for them. Well done! read more

I went back after four years, and the food was great. It was the best sausage biscuits and gravy I had ever had. The only complaint is that the pancakes were "chewy and difficult to cut." I wouldn't order them again. So delicious and fast. Went there on a Tuesday just after 10 AM--super friendly service. The people eating there were nice too. The only complaint was the cold air coming in the front door. It could use a blower above the door to hold the heat in. read more

I have to add: post-pandemic, the food is still good, and the servers still call you "honey"...but it's unbelievable what this greasy spoon is charging. It used to be affordable. Now, it's similar to going to a bigger-name brand like "The Original Pancake House," without the unique fare and better ambiance. I'm so disappointed. read more

Decided to stop in at The Pancake House this morning. Was greeted by Ana my waitress. Ordered the #4 Combo which has eggs, hash browns, sausage and pancakes. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Sausage was super tasty. Pancakes come with it and they are huge, Yummmy!!! They have plastic dividers up for safety reasons which is great. Place is super clean. Great place to have breakfast. read more

This was my first time back in a while, I ordered the steak and eggs, and a churro pancake. I asked for my steak medium, it showed up well done, but the kitchens was so behind I didn't dare send it back and risk having to wait 20 minutes or more for an appropriately cooked steak (I understand this is not a steak house). I would like to compliment them in the churro pancake however, they manage to match the taste and texture of a traditional churro, but translate it in to pancake form. So very well done. I will caution however that this is more of a desert item so you need to have a sweet tooth if you plan on ordering this item. read more

The food was average diner food. Extremely overpriced. Service was good. Probably won't go back.

Food-both our dishes were ok. Not great, nothing special, just ok. I think the biscuits were good but they were buried in heavy gravy so the world may never know The waitress was reserved pleasant. She met the standard for good service. She was dressed in super oversized baggy sweatshirt so she appeared disheveled. The place was clean but the cook had music I've never heard before blasting. It was more than disturbing it was annoying. Not my kind of place, I'll never go back. Different strokes for different folks I'm sure somebody will like it service ambiance read more

Ok the food baseline is great anyway but let me tell you about these new churro pancakes. I like churros. These were next level. I don't even know how to explain it. It was a pancake but it was perfectly fried and just enough of the cinnamon/sugar and icing stuff. They gave this to us after we ate our whole meals and we were SO full (great portions) but we wanted to order 5 more, each, anyway. The only reason we didn't is because we are going straight to the airport and they probably wouldn't allow that many churros through security. read more

Delicious food! Great prices, fast and kind service. Small venue but worth the wait.

The is the "best" breakfast I've had while living in OH. In my personal opinion, the food and service supersedes IHOP. Although it's a small diner, the service is superb and turn around is very quickly because of their amazing service. The employees are very friendly and eager to ensure that you're being taken care off throughout your dining experience. The food quality is superb and so are the portions. Needless to say the cooks are fun to watch when you sit at the counter. All the employees work as "one team" and they're always helping each other. Please visit this location and tell me how your experience was. read more

Boyfriend and I stopped in for the first time for breakfast. This is a small place with counter seating and like 8 tables. They are OSU fans with several wall hangings and curtains with spatulas. Pamela was our server and she was sweet and very attentive to our table. I ordered hash browns with mushrooms & onions and a fruit cup with grapes, bananas & blueberries. My BF ordered french toast, 2 sausage patties & hash browns with onions. Our food was fresh and made to order. I tasted the french toast and it was very good. I thought the hash browns were bland but doctored them up with salt and pepper. I believe we will be back to try other things. read more
