Editorial Review for Original Pancake House – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Founded in Oregon circa 1953, this simply-furnished spot owes its success to its creative menu and fresh ingredients. Batters are made on the premises; a special "sourdough starter" keeps treats from tasting overly sweet. Patrons choose from eggs, waffles, crepes and oven-baked omelets, as well as signature plates like blueberry pancakes (served with or without compote), giant cinnamon-glazed apple pancakes, thin and chewy "49-ers" and the air-filled, lemon-and-sugar-topped "Dutch Baby."

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Wash meals down with fresh-squeezed orange or grapefruit juice, buttermilk, house-blend coffee or postum, a caffeine-free substitute.

Know Before You Go

The apple pancake is large enough for two people, but be patient--it takes 15 minutes to prepare.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

No wonder they win all the awards- James Beard, Zagat, Consumer Reports! Unheard of for a breakfast restaurant. So I had to try it, now I am hooked! The German Pancake is to DIE for and so is the bacon. Everyone else says they fresh sqeeze the OJ, but OPH really does! It's full of pulp and delicious. I am done with the rest! You HAVE to try it! It's soooooo worth the wait.

Pros: Delicious food, great service

Cons: Have to wait in line

2 Star Rating: Below Average

I use to love going to the OPH, not so any more. I order always the Bacon Lovers. This last visit, I tried once again the Charleston & Decatur location. It is a very noisy location. We tried all the other locations and like them better for that reason, until yesterday. I complained about the side of pancakes that accompany the "Bacon Lovers," Breakfast. This time they were much smaller than usual. I complained. I was told all the other locations are making theirs to big. That was my last time visiting them. I get so tired of people charging more, and decreasing the amount of food.

Pros: fairly pleasant

Cons: very noisey

Made-to-order breakfasts---including over a dozen unique flapjacks---stack the odds in this restaurant's favor.  See the full editorial review.
