The hot chocolate was super small for 3 dollars and to charge $1 dollar for whipped topping is a little ridiculous, see attached photo for the splash that was applied to the top of my hot chocolate. Switching topic, the supposed “Homemade Corn Beef Hash” they claimed was chunked corn beef,was exactly the complete opposite! Looked like they opened a can of corn beef and added cubed potatoes, would have much rather had a more honest response from waitress when my mother inquired about the preparation of the corn beef hash. The egg Benedict – Canadian bacon was extremely thin sliced, Hollandaise sauce was bland / no flavor to it… do not ask for your potatoes to be crispy in the home fries because their crispy is not your crispy (onions in the home fries were inedible – literally burnt).
Let talk about the inappropriate conversation that the staff thought it was okay to have on the floor while customers are seated. My whole table over heard hostess & bus girls talking about dropping someone’s food and still plating it to be served. Although it is unclear if it was a true store or just what they felt like doing, it is extremely inappropriate, unprofessional and over all disgusting to hear. Needless to say we stopped eating, cashed out and left the restaurant immediately after we heard that. Overall I was very upset with the food and this was by far the worst breakfast experience I’ve ever had.

Was hands downs the most delicious breakfast I have ever had. Everything was great from the people to the environment. Me and the wife came today we will definitely be coming back with all of our kids. Thank you for the experience

Original House of Pancakes didn’t just serve breakfast — they put together a full 2025 Notre Dame Marcus Freeman game plan on a plate. The corned beef hash came out like Jeremiyah Love hitting the hole, aggressive, crispy, and relentless, every forkful punishing you the way Notre Dame’s run game wears down a defense by the third quarter. Then you pivot to the chocolate chip pancakes, and suddenly it’s CJ Carr throwing darts — smooth, confident, perfectly timed sweetness, chocolate chips melting like perfectly executed play-action that catches everyone leaning the wrong way. The balance between savory and sweet felt intentional, like Freeman dialing up pressure with Xavier Watts flying around the secondary, Howard Cross anchoring the line, and JD Bertrand cleaning everything up behind them.
Halfway through the plate, it hit me — this wasn’t chaos, this was culture. Every bite felt like Notre Dame’s 2025 identity: physical up front, creative when it matters, and quietly arrogant because it knows it’s good. The hash was doing the dirty work like Joe Alt in his prime mentality, while the pancakes kept things fun, explosive, and fan-friendly, like Jayden Thomas pulling in a clutch touchdown when the stadium is already shaking. By the time I wiped the plate clean, I had the same feeling you get after a statement win under Freeman — satisfied, energized, and completely convinced that both this breakfast and this Notre Dame team are built to go the distance.

Love this restaurant. Very clean and lovely, cozy. The food is delicious. Coffee is really good, brought out with fresh cream. I am partial to the Dutch baby. It takes between 20 and 25 minutes to make, but it is absolutely worth the wait.

I come here every Monday morning with my friend, I have pecan pancakes. We ask for the same waitress every Monday. Food is very good. Get there early, if gets busy around 10am, you may have a short wait.

Enjoyed an all-day breakfast meal at the Original Pancake House. Great service, clean, and good food. The pancakes were delicious! Busy but not rushed. Good for families and adults. Fairly priced. We would stop again if in the area and maybe try the Dutch Baby next time.

I love this place but I was passing through the area today, so planned to drive to the Orchard Park location. I checked Google and their website and neither said anything indicating they were closed. When I got there an employee was walking trash to the dumpster, the lights were on and front door open. After a brief wait, an employee came up front and said they were closed because of the weather. There were several employees working. Roads weren’t great but certainly not horrible, especially for Buffalo. We drove down the street and ate somewhere else. What a disappointment.

We were super excited to try a new spot for breakfast. This place was our first choice. The first thing we experienced was the incredibly rude hostess. She just had a bad attitude from the start. After seating we were hopeful for a better reception from our server. Unfortunately this was not the case. It almost seemed like our visit was a burden for the staff. The food was not very good at all, except the pancakes. The omelet I had was overcooked and not even hot when it finally got to the table. The peach crepes were far from good. It was almost as if they dumped canned peaches on top of crepes and sprinkled powder sugar on them. Overall a poor experience.

Looks like a long wait when first gets in, but seem to get seated in fair time of not long wait. Decent choices of great food to enjoy. Can get busy, but worth the wait. Varied prices, moderate, but worth it in quality and quantity value. Can take home what can’t be finished being you chose to have some at home.

Charming country feel, delicious fresh food, very friendly staff. Many choices for warm friendly breakfasty foods. I like that they added small omelets because the regular sized omelets are monster-sized but delicious!
