Let’s talk about the Dutch Baby. Not a human, not a pet, but a glorious, puffy oven-baked pancake that deserves its own fan club. It takes 15–20 minutes to cook, but honestly that just gives you time to emotionally prepare for greatness. When it arrived, golden and dramatic, I swear the room went silent. The edges were crispy, the middle custardy, and I immediately questioned why I’ve ever wasted my life on ordinary pancakes.
Because moderation is overrated, I also went for the avocado toast with poached eggs. Those eggs? Perfect. Yolk flow so beautiful it should be set to slow-motion music. It was one of those “don’t eat too fast or you’ll regret not savoring it” situations.
And then came the sunny side up eggs with turkey sausage and wheat toast. The sausage was actually juicy and seasoned (not the cardboard diet version), and the toast hit that sweet spot of crispy without being a dental hazard. Even the “basic” items here feel elevated.
Service was fast, cheerful, and didn’t even flinch when I basically treated the menu like a challenge. The vibe is welcoming, the food comes out hot, and the portions remind you this is a place that respects breakfast.
Bottom line: this isn’t just breakfast — it’s an event. The Dutch Baby is the Beyoncé of pancakes, the poached eggs deserve their own TV show, and the sausage might have ruined me for every other turkey link. If you love breakfast, stop reading reviews and just go already.
One thing though. They close at 2pm and they are super busy on weekends. Service is a little slow but worth the wait

They have some of the best gluten free pancakes I’ve had! They also have sugar free syrup so folks watching sugar intake can eat out with family and friends like normal. It is my go to place for brunch while pregnant and I have food restrictions. Thanks for catering to those of us with dietary restrictions!
Bacon is thick cut and delicious and we have enjoyed everything we have ordered here!

Ordered chicken and waffles and it was terrible. Chicken was SUPER hard and OLD. Looked like it was overheated in the microwave. It was so hard that you can’t bite it or use a fork BUT have to forcefully tear it apart. When I asked for a new chicken, they gave me only two small pieces which seems like it was heated up in the microwave as well. At least the waffles were good. I’ve been here a few times but after today, NEVER again.

We have visited this restaurant multiple times and have always been pleased with the food quality and generous portions. It’s our go-to spot for satisfying our cravings for a big breakfast. After reading other reviews, we agree that the food can take some time to be served. In terms of the restaurant itself, it’s clean, but the decor could be more memorable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
The Original Pancake House is a must-visit spot for breakfast lovers, offering some of the best pancakes and breakfast dishes you can find. The food here is absolutely 5-star quality, with generous portions, high-quality ingredients, and a menu that caters to all kinds of breakfast cravings.
Food – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
The pancakes are hands down the best you’ll find anywhere—fluffy, rich, and full of flavor. Some of the standout items include:
Dutch Baby – A giant oven-baked pancake with crispy edges and a soft, custardy center. Served with powdered sugar, lemon, and butter, it’s a unique and must-try dish.
Apple Pancake – Almost like a dessert for breakfast! Loaded with caramelized apples and cinnamon, this oversized pancake is indulgent and delicious.
Buttermilk Pancakes – Classic and perfectly executed, these pancakes have a light texture and a slightly tangy flavor.
Bacon & Eggs – The thick-cut bacon is cooked to perfection, crispy on the edges but meaty in the center. Paired with eggs cooked to order, it’s a simple but satisfying choice.
Omelets – Massive, fluffy, and packed with fillings, the omelets here are a meal on their own. The Western and Spinach & Cheese varieties are both excellent.
Everything is cooked with quality ingredients, and you can tell the difference compared to typical breakfast chains.
Service – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
The service is generally good, but during busy hours, it can be a bit slow. The staff is friendly and accommodating, but you might have to wait for refills or extra condiments. That said, they do their best to keep things moving in a packed restaurant.
Atmosphere – ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
This isn’t a fancy, modern brunch spot—it has a more old-school diner feel, which some people love, but others might find a bit outdated. It’s cozy but can get very crowded, and the noise level can be high during peak times. The seating is functional, but don’t expect anything too stylish.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for amazing breakfast food and don’t mind a bustling, no-frills atmosphere, the Original Pancake House is worth the visit. The food is absolutely the star here, and while the service and ambiance could be improved, the flavors make up for it.
✅ Must-Try: Dutch Baby, Apple Pancake, Buttermilk Pancakes
⏳ Best Time to Visit: Early morning to avoid long wait times
Worth the Price? Yes – portions are generous and food quality is excellent
Would definitely recommend for breakfast or brunch, especially if you’re a pancake lover!

If this place wasn’t so far from us, I would come here all the time I was craving to go out and eat for breakfast! Their portions are huge but yet so delicious, and let’s not mention their freshly squeezed orange juice! You can taste it! It was delicious! Their menu is their downfall, it’s a booklet so many options so many things to choose from so many things to want to eat. My husband came hungry so he ordered a lot but I kept telling him the plates are huge and their portions are on the bigger side and he won’t finish it. He didn’t listen haha. So we did have left overs, which is not always a bad thing. I do want to say you probably shouldn’t order a 3 year old from the kids menu, as his plate was just as big. I’ve tried their feed before in the past and never complained it’s always so so delicious I would always recommend this place when you are hungry for breakfast and want everything fresh! For me This place will always beat ihop! Some
Mornings is busy other mornings is not but it’s worth it!

Every Original Pancake House has a slightly different menu for their specialty. For example this pancake house’s crepes include lemon, lingon berries. The one in Savannah Georgia has caramelized Georgia Peaches, etc. Good service . Fresh ingredients (they may run out) generous portions. A large menu of pancakes! This is one of my go to breakfast places.

My husband really likes the Original Pancake House, reminds him of home in Wisconsin, so we stop in from time to time so he can get his fix. I really like their pancakes and crepes. Eggs are decent as well. The coffee is okay, I just wish they had more options like lattes or iced coffee. Pricing seems decent. Portions are reasonably large. The lingonberry berry crepes I had today were delicous. My husband had a huge omelet that was also tasty, plus three pancakes. Our server was a nice young gentleman and he checked on us quite frequently even though it was busy. He kept our coffee mugs full, which was all we really needed. Ambiance is typical diner and not to loud. We had a great visit. Thanks again!

We got the Dutch Baby basically a German style pancake. We got the one with cinnamon and apples. It was delicious my daughter and I shared it and she still took half home! I’ve been to other “Original Pancake House” restaurants and this Dutch baby was more filling. Just one complaint the glasses were too small and the waitress needed to run back and forth constantly filling my small glass of water.

Updated: Still the best….
I have dined at two different OHP locations in Maryland and have long been a favorite of their dining.
It’s sad that these locations are generally very few and aren’t located in the most convenient areas.
With that being said, my visit occurred on a Thursday approaching noon and was not very crowded. The reception staff was very welcoming, and we were seated quickly.
Decor here is insignificant because the food is so delicious and plentiful. As pictured, I chose the pecan pancakes from a large assortment of offerings that put the competition to shame.
The pancakes taste homemade and have a high-quality mouth feel. They are flimsy, fluffy, airy limp cafeteria style pancakes produced on a conveyor belt. These cakes are ripe and ready for a cooking competition.
Finally, I don’t think I can say enough about the ample sides. When you order, your sides plus pancakes could easily feed 2 or 3.
The servers will help you to customize your order to your desire, and the price is arguably a steel for the amount of quality food you receive.
