I had the western omelette and short stack.
The service was really quick and food excellent.
The peppers in the omelette were very fresh and not overcooked. Plenty of leftovers for a second meal. This restaurant has consistently been excellent over the years.

I always enjoy my breakfast here! It’s usually very busy. I went in the middle of a snow storm, so it was quiet. I and my party talked for hours and they were kind not to put us out. The pancakes are malted and the bacon is sooooo good. About 25 bucks for cakes, bacon, eggs w/cheese and coffee. The service is always good. The place is clean and well kept, including the washrooms! Try it, you’ll like it! I did!

Food is good. One of the few places around to get potato pancakes! We ordered eggs Benedict, eggs Michael ( constructed like eggs Benedict but with sausage and a mushroom sherry sauce instead of hollandaise) has always been a favorite because you can’t get it anywhere else around us. Also ordered biscuits and gravy and a skillet. Everything was good. A few changes and I would have given 5 stars. Let’s start with the biscuits and gravy.. the gravy was creamy with ground sausage.. with a slight peppery punch… but the biscuits were hard as a rock and had they not been covered in gravy we couldn’t have even eaten them… they were also not hot enough… if i had to guess from my experience in a kitchen the biscuits are premade or frozen and they defrost/ reheat as necessary to save on waste/cost but when you do this they turn hard as a rock… nope a biscuit should be fresh and moist and tender… not taste like a hard scone!!! It was $14 just for 2 stale biscuits smothered in cold gravy.. sad because it has the potential to be delicious. The Benedicts were very tasty but also lacking in sauce. I like sauce on every bite… the potato pancakes were delicious and we will definitely return for those. Overall food was very good considering they were swamped. Our server was sweet and attentive. … and with just a few tweaks easily a 5 star meal. If you’re looking for atmosphere, you won’t get that here. They remodeled to cram as many people into the space as possible… so it’s 4 white walls with a bunch of tight squeeze tables / booths… I’ve seen hospital cafeterias with a more welcoming vibe than this… bit clearly it doesn’t hurt their business because it is always packed.

Another great experience at Original Pancake House.
This is the second time we’ve been here in the past 2 years. Today, they were only moderately busy whereas last year, they were maxed.
So we got seated right away and water and menus were delivered quickly.
Our server showed up quickly too. She took our orders and promptly returned with coffee.
The coffee was hot and she returned often for refills. Breakfast came out about 15 minutes later and was as ordered.
The 3 of us had:
– 49’ers Flapjacks
– Corned Beef Hash and Soft-scrambled Eggs
– Scrambled Eggs with Sausage Links and Pancakes
My wife enjoyed her flapjacks. These are unique too. Sort of a mix between a regular pancake and a crepe. They are thin, not fluffy and sort of rubbery. Sounds weird but it’s great.
My sister-in-law enjoyed her eggs, sausage and pancakes.
I also enjoyed my Corned Beef Hash and Eggs. I did need to salt the hash just a touch. The eggs were perfectly soft-scrambled too.
We enjoy eating here and look forward to coming back next time we’re in the area.

Best pancakes I’ve ever had in my god damn life and I don’t usually like pancakes. I had to write a review bc they’re just that good omg. And I got the veggie skillet and coffee and both are BANGING. 10/10 please give my compliments to the chef. Give them a lil kiss for me bc this was sooo good even the coffee was delicious

The coffee tasted like cigarettes, the syrup was watered down and tasted like sugar water, and the manager was being rude to people for no reason. The restaurant was empty and she had an attitude with people kindly asking to be seated. As a loyalist to the Beverly Pancake House location, this place was complete garbage. Don’t waste your money.

Thank you guys for taking time out to read my latest review as I always say before I start my reviews everyone has their own experience I am just sharing my own experience with you so I decided to dine in at The Original Pancake House in Oak Forest I have many times visited the location in in Hyde Park can I have been frequently coming to this location for almost a year now whenever I am in the neighborhood I’m making my business to stop in prioritize myself and give me perfect time to reset and have some me time so let’s get into the review I would say this location gets 10 stars from me I have come here to this location a number of times and one of the things I would like to mention is the whole entire staff delivers world class service I have never seen them have a off day no matter what race no matter if it’s a man or a woman they are the best at making a customer feel like they’re one of the family one thing I do like is that they remember that regulars by name you are greeted by the hostess with a friendly hello and how was your day what the owner has done is capture the authenticity of what it feels like to be at a establishment I receive top-notch service I can see why they have been in business for decades the food is always cooked to Perfection so many options to choose from I always get the chicken sausage pigs in a blanket I get the chicken sausage instead of the pork sausage and I do not get any whipped cream or powder how long do pigs in a blanket they are just wrapped up I also love the fact that there juices are freshly squeezed I am a fan of the grapefruit juice I can’t lie play scrambled eggs are always on the point and I’ll always make one of my family members told me that if you enjoy the food and the service and I like to take time out to recognize great service and recommending others to the establishment. As a top reviewer I always make sure to recognize & highlight incredible businesses the whole entire staff at The Original Pancake House in Oak Forest thank you so much for treating me like family continue delivering world class customer service for more decades to come you got my vote in support

Ordered Breakfast Via GRUB HUB, so my only complaint is that of course one pays so much more for items than if dined in. Take out: Pics attached & are all from the extra menu w/ exception of the grits. The quality was good. Beware, I’ve ordered the skillet before & the chopped potatoes under the eggs are orange in color and have very little veggie as it’s pictured on the website. I’d order again as needed for the convenience.
Dine In: additional pics included from our dine in experience. There was plenty free parking in the attached parking lot. There was no line, no waiting on a random weekday (brunch time). The food came quickly & it was delish! The waitress got our order correct & while the menu prices were reasonable my only message to the owner would be to lower the cost of a cup of coffee. For a cup of black coffee with flavored creamer should not be $3.99! Come on. That’s crazy. Attached is the receipt and the pics from our done in experience. I will say the tables & floors & menu’s were clean & I appreciated that. We tipped 30% because we wanted to show our appreciation for the meal being yummy & the waitress (Elena) getting our order correct. I’d recommend this place for breakfast or brunch. 🙂

Great place to grab breakfast. Arrive before 9:30am because the place folks up quick. The women’s bathroom has tiny stalls and there are only 2 of them. You’re given large portions by attentive servers and only 1 payment for coffee yields free refills.
