Just everything about this place is great. From the food to the staff. Delicious food!!! Would come here every day if I had the funds

Always a great time at The Original Pancake house! This was my first time at this location and it was large and well decorated. Ample parking. A bit of a wait to be seated but no more than 10 minutes. The food portions are HUGE and the menu has something for everyone!! I got the Northwoods Hash and it was really good - took half home for breakfast the next day. The plain pancakes also slap, melt in your mouth good.

My best friend, Dena & I had our best breakfast in MN ever! This traditional space, a warm welcome, and food that it sees just came from heaven! Very lovely staff, so mindful, smiling and reasonable price for a huge portion of our order, made rest of our day! High recommend!

This place is amazing! The service was so friendly from the hostess who seated us to the waitress who served us. The restaurant is nicely decorated and my mother who is hard of hearing could hear us and have a conversation. Lots of windows so lots of natural light. The food was so darn good! Two of us had crepes and loved them. I had the Greek scramble bowl with buttermilk pancakes and it was fantastic. The coffee is so darn good. We made reservations online but they were not needed as we went on a Wednesday for my mother's 89th birthday.

I had a great experience at this location first time at this one!! Been to the other orignal pancake houses in the twin cities but this one was the best!! The Host that brought me to my table he was great!! The waitress I had Emilia she was fantastic! She was very nice and friendly and brought me refills of Pepsi and got my campfire hash/pancakes! Love the ambiance here!! I will come back for the awesome customer service I got today! I love pancake House!

Solid breakfast food! I'm not too much of a sweet breakfast person, so I appreciated they had some savory options, even in the house specialties section. All of the food came out incredibly hot and fresh. Very much a homey, family vibe to it. Great service too--it was a busy morning, but our server Kailey was WAY on top of things and checked on us often! The Garden Dutch ($15) had a great vegetable portion with melty cheese, and the dutch baby itself was nice and fluffy. Also worth mentioning that it reheated well when I inevitably had to take most of it home because it's HUGE! I also got a side of hashbrowns ($6.75) which, while good, was a bit overpriced. One of our party ordered the apple pancake ($14.50), and when it was brought out immediately after ordering, our server explained go us that it's so popular that on busy days, the kitchen just continuously makes them all morning so they're always brought out extremely fresh, which I thought was neat.

This was our first time at the OP location which was more spacious and modern than others we've been to. The host and server were super friendly. We were treated to swedish pancakes with lingonberries. Everyone enjoyed their different varieties of pancakes and omelettes. We look forward to coming back.
