The croissant french toast was delicious, but the Pancakes Works, not so much. The pancakes tasted like too much flour and the scrambled eggs were runny. The service was very good, our waitress was very nice and the food came out quick.

Great food and hospitality. 5 yr old proclaimed them the BEST CHEFS IN THE WORLD.
I was really hungry and asked what had the most food and she suggested the Irish omelette. I wasn’t thinking an omelette but tried her suggestion and I ordered a side of cheese grits. Didn’t realize the omelette also had 3 pancakes.
When she brought out the omelette, I thought it was a cake or bread. Never had I seen an omelette like this. Big round, golden and it was delicious too. About half way through I thought I was going to need a doggie bag.
Highly recommend our server. We had 9 in our party and we didn’t need wait for anything. Kept our drinks filled which is a big plus for me

The three year old and I came here for a Thursday morning breakfast. Lots of suits eating business breakfasts made me hopeful that the high prices would be defensible, despite the surly hostess.
While the clientele was mostly business men, it wasn’t busy with maybe only five tables occupied. Despite this it took a long time to get our order in. I’m dining at a pancake house with a toddler, so I imagine the waitstaff wants me in and out as quick as possible. The waitress was very unimpressed with us, or our friendly and chatty ways. This is fine, except the child is three. Please at least say, “Good Morning”. It’s not kind to ignore humans.
When our “Works” arrived, ($16.65) it was very disappointing. The bacon was burnt, but the pancakes were raw. The Dutch Baby was edible. The hot chocolate was undrinkable.

If you are from Chicago, and you think you’re gonna get anywhere near a Walker Brothers OPH experience here, go to IHOP instead.
I should’ve realized as soon as I walked in and thought the guy sitting on the bench on his phone was a waiting customer, but was actually the host who seated me. He was pleasant enough, though.
It wasn’t very busy at all, either. Only a half dozen tables were filled.
My first server, I’ll call her server A, asked for my drink order within 5 mins of sitting down. Then 2 minutes later another server, server B, also asked my drink order, and I told her someone had already taken it. Almost 10 minutes later, server A came back out with my cup of coffee and glass of water. The silverware I was given was only a knife and fork, so I had to ask for a spoon. I finally was able to flag down server A, and she gave me a stir stick.
Another 10 minutes passed before I had to again, catch a server (this time server B), to take my food order. I ordered the French Toast Works, she asked how I wanted my eggs, I said over medium. I also asked for an apple pancake to go. Easy enough? Wrong!!!
My food came out soon enough, apparently too soon. The French toast still had liquid egg oozing from it, and then I saw my eggs were barely over easy. I asked server B, who happened to walk by, if I could get the French toast cooked some more. She took the plate, probably microwaved it enough to “cook” the egg, sprinkled more powdered sugar on top, and brought it back. I know it was the same order, because the piece I had cut into was still on the plate.
I started on the plate of eggs, bacon, and hash browns while she had the French toast. As I said, the eggs were over easy at best. Not only were the yolks still runny, but the whites were still runny too. The bacon was good. The hash browns looked like they’d been seared on both sides and tossed onto the plate. The middle was almost raw potato shreds. I didn’t even bother saying anything about that plate, because the French toast had already been returned to the table, and based on that result, I didn’t care to see what they would do to the eggs and hash browns. They were cooked just enough to eat, so I ate. Server B came by, almost passing the table before stopping to ask how I was doing. I said fine, but I was already so disappointed with the whole experience that I just wanted to eat and get out. Server B dropped off the apple pancake about 40 mins after my food came out, which I expected. I hoped it would be better than the food I got in the restaurant, but it wasn’t. It took almost another half hour for someone (server C) to come by and ask if I needed anything. I told her just the check, which she promptly brought to the table. While I was waiting, I started reading the reviews for this location, which, admittedly, I should’ve done first, but I was just excited about being able to go to an Original Pancake House and this was the closest of the MD locations.
I left a little over 10% tip, because I really didn’t know which server I was tipping, and the service really wasn’t that great.
I got home and opened up the apple pancake, and was even more disappointed in the whole experience. Picture attached, and definitely not what I was expecting from an OPH. I will try another location if I’m in the area again, but this one should be avoided.

We’re out of town guests and it was our first time trying The Original Pancake House. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would return next time we’re in the area. I ordered the sausage, egg, & pancakes combo. Another person in our party ordered the strawberry waffles. Great food and friendly staff, however, their service was slow.

This is a very popular place. Like a old school diner. Huge menu of every kind of pancake or waffle that you want. Huge portions. Service was pretty quick. They were almost full. Ambiance is good. Gave me diner energy.

We passed by the Original Pancake House many times in Rockville and Bethesda, so we finally decided to give it a try.
The menu is entirely à la carte. Pancakes do not come with sides, so it could add up for people with bigger appetites. I don’t eat much so it worked out okay for us. The blueberry pancake portion was enormous. We couldn’t finish it.
Service was exceptional. The hostesses were warm and welcoming, and the server was very friendly and efficient. The hospitality really made for a great dining experience.

We were a large groups so it is understandable that food comes slower. But it took quite sometime before our orders were taken. Guests we sit in at around 10:40, but our orders came after 11:45. The food is adequate, but not thrilling.

Please never come here. I came here a while ago, and I had the worst experience ever. I literally can’t even forget about it. It literally left me traumatized and I will never come back here again. The one in Rockville is way better. Don’t waste your money here when me and my friends came the waitress was insanely rude and she told me to tip and I said to her “am I required to tip?” and she told me “yes how else am I going to get paid” and then she was rude to me afterwards when I paid AND tipped. Also, I ordered sausage links and they were literally raw and when I left a bad review, they deleted it so I’m back here to warn everyone. DONT COME HERE.
