We visited the Original Pancake House in Boise with our kids and had an overall great experience. The waitlist system before even getting seated was great, you can join online or in person and see exactly where you are in line, which is so helpful with kids. It was rather busy and the food took a little time to arrive after ordering, but we got drinks right away, coffee refills were offered, and the staff was friendly and attentive so we didn’t mind the wait as we chatted over coffee. dishes were cleared quickly as we emptied them, giving us more table space. The pancakes were amazing! Easily 10/10, the best!
One note: the online menu doesn’t reflect current prices, including photos of the in-house menu as of January 2026. Overall, great food, great service, and we’ll definitely be back!

Has the Baked Apple pancake and the seasonal Pumpkin pancakes. Both of them were absolutely delicious, and I can’t recommend them enough. The whipped cream is fantastic, and I wish I’d ordered a side for the apple pancake.
The coffee was not very good, even though it came in adorable little mugs.
It’s busy! Get on the wait list before you get there! It took them about twenty minutes to move 15 tables, which is fast as can be.
I’ll admit I’ve driven past this place quite a few times, it does not look like a place that has some of the best pancakes in Idaho, but here we are. Looking forward to returning for some savory stuff, but even if all they do right are pancakes, I’ll be back.

Apple pancake was delicious! So much larger than I thought it would be. Corned beef omelet filled entire side of the plate. So good. Hashbrowns crispy and well browned. It was really busy so environment was very loud. Very friendly staff. Great experience. Will continue to visit!

Just a happy friendly family place to enjoy your dining out experience. The food is all homemade with family flare. The staff moves as if 1 fluid motion is happening. The staff is like one big professional family. Even the bus staff is amazing and truly the professional at their job. The building is clean yet has a feel like you are visiting Grandmas farm house.

Hadn’t been here before, but I live in Nampa.
Nice little place with about 20 tables. It was fairly busy at 9:00 on a Friday, but it would probably be packed earlier, being a locals hangout. Even with the crowd, it’s fairly quiet.
I ordered the Senior Plate, but added a second egg as well. The eggs were nice and soft, the bacon crisp and the pancakes were so light and fluffy. What a satisfying breakfast for 13 bucks and some change, including coffee.

Pleasantly surprised. Food came out at a decent time. The Denver omelet was really good actually. The eggs had this buttery smooth kind of taste, not like actually butter. I guess they were just thick and extra savory, maybe heavy whipping cream was used? The pancakes were great as well! I just got the regular cakes with syrup and my associate got the blueberry waffle, he said it was delicious. 10/10 would recommend and go again.

The food was amazing! The spinach omelet was so light, fluffy, and FULL of spinach, bacon, and cheese. The hashbrowns had a nice crisp top but definitely could have used a little seasoning. The strawberry waffles were good with the whipped cream being the star of the plate. I would have liked maybe a strawberry syrup to go with the strawberry waffles but the maple was fine.
I would go back again just for that omelet.

“at risk for removal” be careful not to take advantage of their wonderful text reservation waiting system.
Food is great.
Service could be better.
When customers ask for things (straws, lemons) remembering is important to effiency and happy customers. Going for straws after asking the second time and forgetting lemons is not efficient. Running around looks good, accomplishes little.

The breakfast was delicious. The food was not over priced like other restaurants. The service was superb. We were visiting my Son. When we return be sure they will get our business.
