This is an excellent breakfast/brunch place I had the Classic Benedict. My fiancée had the heard waffles with poached eggs. The eggs were poached perfectly for both dishes, and the decor is pleasant to look at. There is a wait, as they don't accept reservations, nor is there an online wait list. The wait is worth it though live music as you wait is a plus. read more

Meh, I clearly have no idea why this place has so many great reviews. Tacky decor Dark and dingy inside Furniture that has seen better days Carpet in a restaurant is a big no-no, just ask Robert Irvine Ceiling fans at high speed spewing dust all over my food Really loud music with some inappropriate rap Noisy as heck, maybe it was because were seated by the kitchen Signs everywhere that they only take cash, but you can get cash from their ATM's - makes you wonder if they've been turned down for a merchant account and why Oh, the food, just average. My friend I met here never complains, but he really didn't like his meal. His comments were "Who can mess up pancakes". "The food has no flavor at all." My Chicken Caesar Salad, yes I know ordering a salad at a breakfast restaurant probably isn't the best choice, was tiny. It tasted okay, but I was hungry an hour later and we were out $40, with tip, for brunch. On a positive note, the service was really good. I won't be back. Whoever rated this restaurant as one of the best breakfast spots in Phoenix certainly hasn't been to Butter's or Butterfield's and doesn't get out much. read more

I ate here awhile back and forgot to make a review until I was searching Yelp for another place to eat - The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly. I got the John Western Omlette and I was blown away at how good it was. Any time some comes and visits us in Phoenix, this is a staple spot to take them. read more

We took friends there and nothing has changed! Good service, good food and it full and they just keep coming! You can't buy that! read more

This place is fun and excellent food. Great bakery items, omelettes, and even hamburgers for those not into breakfast food. Highly recommend. read more

We met family here for breakfast and we all enjoyed our meals - we ordered chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, Avacado toast, Cali beach burrito, eggs Benedict and egg scramble. We tried most of the sides - French toast, chocolate croissant, grits, hash browns and fruit. Everything was large portions and cooked perfectly. Our food came out quick and service was excellent. It is 30 minutes from home but we will be back! read more

IT'S CASH ONLY!! Figure you may want to know that beforehand. They have an atm right inside, but just want to give heads up so you can stop at your bank and save yourself the extra service fees. Unassuming exterior when you pull into shopping plaza parking lot and the main sign hanging over the door says Aloha (Original Breakfast House in smaller font on door), just so you know you're in the right spot. The interior is classic diner layout with surfboards all over the walls. It's a very chill, aloha vibe. Hubby ordered the biscuits and gravy. Biscuits were clearly made from scratch and they were savory with a hint of sweetness and hearty taste. The gravy was excellent consistency and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Dish was amazing and very filling and he also loved his coffee! I ordered the Veggie Hash with eggs over medium with Key Lime Pancakes for an extra $2.50. Trust me, it's worth the fee. The pancakes tasted just like key lime pie and they were nice and fluffy. The blackberry coulis was a spectacular compliment to the flavor of the pancakes and I definitely need to add some to my next Key Lime pie I bake! The pancakes were delicious without being overly sweet and a nice pairing with the savory hash dish. The veggies were all fresh and the potatoes were the perfect mix of crispy outside with chewy center. I appreciate being able to have a dish with so many veggies to start the day with a perfectly balanced meal. I had to save half of both dishes since they were so filling, but I look forward to enjoying a second time later on today. Service was fast and friendly and the food came out within 5mins!! You can clearly tell the ingredients are fresh and the sign on wall at main entrance indicates it's locally sources. So delicious and I am glad we found this little spot while visiting from out of state!! read more

The wait was a little long but so much worth it. The waffle had to be the best waffle I've ever had. It was so fluffy and normally they tend to be dense. The service was wonderful. Will definitely come back when we visit the area again. read more

The ambience reminds me of a little Hawaiian surf shop, service was excellent, we got in really quickly on a Sunday for breakfast. Everything came out really fast, they are really good at turning over tables. The food was surprisingly good, decent portions, good quality. I have the avocado and Carnitas omelette with the red sauce and home fries! Very good! I would definitely go back for breakfast! Keep in mind there is no alcohol: Mimosa's, bloody Mary's. This is strictly for breakfast. read more

Original Breakfast House - Crispy Carnitas & Avocado Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I tried eating off the kids' menu, but I was told they would add a $2 upcharge because I was an adult. I refuse to pay an additional fee because I'm an adult. The food and portions would be the same, nothing more. So I spent $11 for a meal that I only took 2 bites out of, and that was it. I asked for a to go container, and the girl looked at how much I was taking home. I told you I don't eat that much, this is why I asked to eat off the kids' menu. Upcharging for a meal that nothing would change is bullshit. They lost a customer. I can go to Dennys and order off the kids menu with "NO" problems. It's bullshit that this restaurant wants to charge me more for a child's meal when the portions are exactly the same. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!! No, I won't give them anymore of my business. It's pretty pathetic that you want to charge $2 more a kids meal because I'm an adult read more

Love this place! I'm a big breakfast/brunch person and this restaurant never fails us. The food tastes like homemade and is delicious. I absolutely love the Hawaiian pancakes. The coconut glaze is not too sweet and soo good, no need for syrup. Also has macadamia and pineapple. We also always get the biscuits and gravy and some type of burrito. The staff is amazing and so attentive. The only thing is it gets so crowded on the weekend and you end up waiting for over an hour so I would recommend going on a weekday if possible. Also they only take cash so come prepared. Yum! read more

One thing is for sure that Phoenix really does have some amazing restaurants spread throughout. I'm about to head back home to Los Angeles and decided to get some breakfast on my way. I found the Original Breakfast House on Yelp and based on the reviews and what people had to say and what I saw I had to give it a try.'70s vibe of a surf shop you might find nestled on the coast in Hawaii maybe even Venice Beach California. A great feel as you walk in very warm and welcoming. Make sure you get some cash from the ATM as you are walking in as this is a cash only place. The menu is original and unique. A host of various omelets ,pancakes, waffles, breakfast burritos and sandwiches all the way down to lunch offerings. I decided to go with the Crispy Carnitas omelette with avocado topped with their red chili sauce and queso fresco. Crispy home fries on the side went with the key lime pancakes as a sidecar. If you're a pancake fan you're going to want to check this place out as the pancakes range from key lime pancakes ,Hawaiian pancakes, cinnamon roll pancakes ,and the gluten-free granola banana pancakes. An iced coffee from the good folks at the Cortez Coffee Roastery which was smooth ,delicious and refreshing. The crispy carnitas omelette was very tasty perfectly made fluffy, dense and flavorful the red sauce was a nice touch next time I'd get it on the side as smothered was a bit much. Just the right amount of avocado... not too much to overtake the taste but just add to it in the right way. The home fries were delicious, nice flavor... but not too crispy. I find that it goes either way either not fried enough or not too much. The pancakes were delicious good size but a bit sweet for my taste, my son would absolutely flip out for them! The key lime flavor was authentic and just right..it really worked. Excellent service and the owner walking around making sure everyone had a great time and enjoyed their meal. Plenty of parking in the mall that it shares a lot with this place is a great spot to check out I'll definitely be back. read more

Such a nice experience from start to finish. When we walked up, we were instantly greeted and added to an efficient wait list. We waited maybe 10 minutes and were quickly seated. When you walk in, you're greeted with a unique interior design of surfboards and skis along with historical pictures of their past buildings and original owners. Classic diner vibes with that. The menu is big and intimidating but here's the tip, ask your server what they like and what's popular. I ended up with the green Chile pork Benedict and some French toast. My wife got the breakfast sandwhich. All the food is pretty large portions and we had plenty of leftovers. Overall, would come again and again. The service could have been worse and the food would have made up for it. Luckily here, you get both! read more

Imagine running a cash only business in 2024, and then your two ATM's don't work. Super cool. I should add the people were really nice, but seriously, no form of modern payment is annoying. read more

OBH is the kind of restaurant where, so far, everything is safe. I mean I have ordered quite a few different things and EVERYTHING is great. You just can't go wrong here. Service from checking in all the way to leaving is outstanding. You are greeted by the John( I believe the owner) at the door and check in with him, then random employees who are always kind and helpful take care of the experience until you leave. Great work!! A tip I'd like to recommend: START WITH A CINNAMON BUN!! They have the biggest and best homemade cinnamon buns here. You won't regret it. read more

The menu is remarkably interesting. We started with a brioche cinnamon roll that was juicy and topped with real cream cheese frosting. The chicken fried chicken breakfast came with the moistest fried chicken. It also had deep fried French toast. The classic Benedict came with a fresh English muffin and the most delicate ham. The service was great. The home fries needed the oven for a few. more minutes. read more

This is hands down one of the best breakfast spots in Phoenix! Everything we ordered was full of flavor, the pancakes were fluffy, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. The staff was welcoming and kept things running smoothly even with a busy crowd. The cozy diner-style atmosphere made it feel warm and inviting. Great food, great service, and a great vibe all around! read more

I came here with my mom and grandma for a nice brunch on a Monday and we were seated quickly by the nice gentleman at the door. Molly was our server and she was stellar! Probably the best service we've gotten in a while. Food was fresh and good and decently priced for a locally owned place that tries to source as local as possible. The home fries were my favorite part of the meal! We'll be back! Keep in mind this business is cash only. read more

First place I want to go when I'm in the Phoenix Area. The food here is delicious and well portioned. I highly recommend anything with the green chili pork. Great pastries, great service, great entrees. Don't be discouraged if there is a wait, it is well worth it and the wait should tell you what folks think of the place. Cash only, so leave the plastic at home, but even with this I can't downgrade from 5 * !!! read more

I always love going here! It's one of my favorite places. Cash only so be sure to have on hand. If you don't they have a no fee atm aVailable. The menu has a lot to choose from and it's always crowded but worth a visit. My last visit had me enjoying the cinnamon bun pancakes. Nothing but joy coming through my mouth. Something for everybody! read more

Wanted to try a unique and different breakfast place while in the area. Yelp brought me here. Menu was simple as that of any breakfast place, but still had many choices. I went with the chicken apple sausage scramble. It was delicious! Sweet and savory with every bite. It came with hash browns. I felt the hash browns were very under-seasoned, but some hot sauce fixed that right up. It also came with a biscuit or toast. I chose a biscuit. The biscuit was so soft and yummy. I tasted undertones of vanilla with each bite. Definitely had a homemade taste to it. Oh! Coffee! Coffee was very yummy and I had my own pot for the table. Made getting refills a lot easier. I was given a choice of half-n-half or flavored cream. Service was great. Our waitress was friendly and patient. Defiantly a good place for breakfast. I'd come back and then stay for lunch. read more

I'm not sure what more can be written about OBH. It is always packed. We went at 8am with a 15 minute wait. We've waited for over an hour before. They are very efficient with moving folks....it's just that good and that popular. The service is always great. I tried the fresh squeezed orange juice and it is as fresh squeezed as possible. Literally smushed oranges in a glass. Every glass is made fresh....including your 2nd free refill. Each menu item is a new experience in flavor. The bacon is incredible and I aM a bacon snob. It's crisp yet not overcooked. It's think sliced and addictive. My cholesterol levels spiked but life without bacon is no life at all. read more

Shrimp and grits was solid, however the cinnamon roll was well below average. Tasted old and dry, and wasn't heated up. For the price of the sweet roll I was disappointed. Coffee wasn't great. read more

Saw the owner being interviewed by a local news agency so we decided to check it out. Over 1 hour from our house and totally worth it! CASH ONLY! Come prepared. They are locally sourced, minus seafood and make everything fresh here. They even make their own jellies. Fresh made biscuits. There is an extensive menu and a few healthy options. We were instantly greeted and sat. Seta was our waitress and was extremely patient and took what seemed like 100 requests with a smile and even offered more suggestions to make it even better. The have a jukebox at the front door. Upbeat music being played at the just the right level. Can still have comfortable conversations but can still hear the words to the music. The owner was raised in California and brought a piece of the beach to the desert. Decor is surfboards and for right now anyways, Christmas. The waitress said he is like a dad to the 25 staff members. Everyone here seems to be respectful of each other and having fun. So I believe it. We split the quinoa bowl and had the salmon put on the side. Hubs got the poached eggs. The seasonings were wonderful! Some curry. The salmon tasted fresh and loved the light buttery seasoning. And they have paper to go boxes instead of styrofoam, that never breaks down. Yay read more

This place is GOOD! We were in town for a concert and wanted to get some breakfast before heading back to CA. Ordered a little bit of everything and our entire group was really happy with everything we got. Our waitress was very helpful and patient with us as well. We came on a Tuesday morning and there was no wait, which is lucky because I hear this place is always packed. If you are looking for a good brunch place in AZ, then I would def recommend this place. read more

This used to be our faaaaaavorite place to go when we visit from California, but unfortunately I think this last visit in will be our last. My son was obsessed with the Hawaiian spam breakfast, and we came to find out it is no longer offered :( not sure why as they theme themselves as a Hawaiian diner. Also even on a weekday morning, the wait is 45 minutes plus. They are also cash only. These inconveniences were worth it before but now with the limited menu, not so much. read more

After hearing so many good things about this restaurant, I had to give it a try! I was definitely glad I did! Great service, even when they're busy and they were more than happy to reccomend their favorite dishes to a newcomer. read more

Enjoyed our visit. Food was good and service was great. Loved the surfer ambiance and decor.

This is one of those places where you get the total "mom & pop's" feel. FYI: this restaurant is CASH ONLY. There is an ATM inside if you forget. We were there on a Sunday and needed a table for 9 so we had a 30 minute wait. Typical for most breakfast spots during the weekend. While the parking lot and neighborhood may not be the most appealing, I would tell you to take a chance on this place. Don't judge a book by its' cover, right? My friend and I shared the Popeye Omelette and the Blackberry French Toast. My sister opted for the Chilaquiles, my cousin chose the chicken fried chicken and the children got pancakes and french toast. Everyone enjoyed their order with the exception of my sister (but that's her fault - kinda). Her Chilaquiles got too soggy for her taste. Probably some of the best french toast I've tasted because I really liked how crisp it was with the batter they used. They had some pastries on display by the checkout counter and I was eyeballing some cinnamon rolls. I reallyyy wanted one but then I was reminded of an upcoming vacation where I would be in a bathing suit so I had to pass but I'm not gonna pass on it next time. Once you are done with your meal, you pay at the counter. Overall, a great breakfast joint that I will visit again. read more

Delicious!!!! Guadalajara Eggs Benedict were scrumptious!! Excited to go back and try another amazing entree on their menu !

Went here on a Saturday morning and we were lucky enough to only have a 30 min wait. Didn't seem like that long with the band playing music and a little flea market to look at some random stuff. First off, I got to say, all the employees are fantastic here. Very energetic and bright and definitely people I wouldn't mind hanging out with outside of here. You've got to try the chicken fried chicken and the special al pastor benedict. It was so good and filling that we had to take a lot of it back to our home for the weekend. CASH ONLY!!! But they have an ATM. read more

Original Breakfast House's environment reminds you of a diner from the 80s - small, friendly, packed full of people, delicious food, and quick service. The gluten free granola banana pancakes were delicious. The downside is that there can be a wait, but they have outdoor benches and provided free water bottles while you waited.. worth the wait! read more

My kids ordered the churro pancakes and they were fantastic. I dad taxed both kids because I wished I had ordered them. All of our meals were excellent and the service was good. Just a reminder to bring cash! We ate there two mornings in a row when we were on a short vacation from Tuesday to Saturday this week. Great place for families. read more
