Seven years ago, I moved to Oregon with my husband and our two little babies. We had spent nearly…read moreeverything we had to make the move, and my husband immediately had to start traveling for his new job. On our first morning in our new town, we went to The Original Pancake House for breakfast. It was a simple meal, but one we were grateful we could afford. When we asked for the check, our server smiled and told us someone had already paid for it. That small act of kindness made me feel like I truly belonged in our new home. It reminded me that even in an unfamiliar place, there were good people who cared about others. Since that day, every time we visit The Original Pancake House, we make it a point to pay it forward whenever we can. It's our way of honoring the kindness that meant so much to us and has stuck with me. Beyond the beautiful memory, the food is incredible. It's hands down the best breakfast I've ever had. Comfort food that tastes like it's made with love. You must try the Dutch baby! The ladies who work there are always so warm and welcoming, making every visit feel like coming home. Some restaurants serve great food. This one gave my family hope when we needed it most, and I'll never forget that.

Pancakes so golden, yet sitting too long-- They lost all…read moretheir heat and didn't quite belong! The Original Pancake House in Eugene is a charming, family-friendly spot with genuine warmth and stellar coffee. The casual, lively vibe makes it feel like the proper brunch destination you'd hope for from a legendary breakfast joint. We ordered their hero dish--a side of buttermilk pancakes--and the Irish Omelette. The pancakes delivered real flavor: fluffy, tender, with classic buttermilk tang. My only critique? They arrived cool, likely from sitting in the warmth window a bit too long. Off the griddle, these would shine. The Irish Omelette was more disappointing. Designed to be airy and light with corned beef and potatoes inside, ours was overcooked and rubbery--far from the delightful, pillowy texture it should be. For a restaurant with this history, execution should be consistent. The coffee and service were warm and attentive, which goes a long way. 3/5 stars. Worth visiting for atmosphere, especially if your pancakes arrive hot. Try during slower service to avoid the window-sit fate. The Portland location executes at a higher level.

Here's what you need to know about The Original Pancake House on Portland Road NE in Salem:…read more 1. This is a company-owned location. They use the original recipes and quality ingredients for all pancakes and waffles. In my opinion, their quality and taste shows... and is well worth it. 2. No wait on a weekday morning around 11:30 a.m. Weekends, however are another matter! The wait is worth it 3. I can vouch for the Dutch Baby, French Crepes, Cherry Kijafa Crepes and Pumpkin Pancakes. These are my favorites along their egg specialties. These are my absolute favorites. 4. My waitress today was friendly, personable and responsive. What more can one ask for? 5. The ambiance? Classic American family-style diner. 6. While the price might be a bit higher than what you are used to, remember that inflation includes the cost of ingredients and everything else that goes into running a restaurant business. This place is worth it.

Usually my husband and I go in and its so wonderful, from the staff to the food. Never have we had…read morean unhappy experience. Until today. A new young waitress comes over and asked rudely if I needed something. I said a table and my husband. She replied "ohh" instead of seating me she moves onto the next couple, ignoring me. Normally my husband or I get seated while waiting for the other one.
