Recently got a quick to go order here and really enjoyed it! I have visited this location a handful of times in person and noticed the takeout is just as good. I placed an online order and liked how many modifications options that were offered. They really have every substitution option you could need. The order was ready at the estimated time and was an easy pickup. My favorite menu items are the hash browns and bacon. Both come out crispy and are delicious!
This was our go to breakfast spot when we lived in Minnesota. There are so many options. You can have all of your faves but then you have some healthier options like buck wheat pancakes, turkey sausage or chicken sausage. The service was great. They were busy but the food came quickly
One of the best breakfast spots in the suburbs! The Burnsville location is tucked away off the main road by the hotels. There is plenty of free parking in a private lot. The restaurant is spacious and bright. Even though there's tons of seating, spots fill up fast! I came around 9am on a Saturday and was seated right away, but by 10am the entry room was full of people waiting for a table. -- The Northwoods Hashbrowns are absolutely delicious if you're craving a savory breakfast. The portion is huge and can easily be shared. The default hashbrowns are on the softer side, so I like to ask for it extra crispy so you get a better bite. It has the perfect amount of spice from the jalapeños and pepper jack cheese. -- The 49er Flapjacks are like the denser cousin of the crepe. The texture is so velvety and the butter just glides on. Absolutely delicious when it's smothered in butter and syrup. The 49ers are thin but they take up the entire plate, so it's still quite a bit of food. -- The cinnamon roll pancakes are arguably better than a standard cinnamon roll. It's the flavor of a cinnamon roll with the moist fluffy texture of a pancake. They do not skimp out on the cinnamon sugar filling or the maple cream cheese frosting. -- The cold brew is nice if you're looking for an iced coffee option, but it does taste a little watered down. It does not come with any refills. -- The thick sliced bacon is around 1/4 inch thick and is flavorful. You can ask them to cook it to your desired crispiness level.
When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostesses greeted us. We checked in, and they added us to the list and said we would receive a text when they had a table for us. After waiting around 20 to 25 minutes, we were brought to our table. A Hispanic gentleman took us to our table. He was very helpful and friendly. Our server Terri came by and said she would be with us momentarily. She came by shortly after introduced herself and took our drink orders. After a bit, Terri returned and took our food order. I ordered the Chorizo Skillet with no tomatoes and no chorizo substitute turkey sausage with a side of wheat toast not pictured. We started eating our food and I noticed it didn't have a lot of turkey sausage in it at all. It had so many onions that it overpowered the skillet. Also, the turkey sausage was not cut right so a lot of the pieces were half and three-quarter turkey links. My wife ordered the Northwood hash, and she said it wasn't flavorful at all so we asked Terri for hollandaise sauce to try to make it better and it helped a bit but not good enough to try again. The service from the door to the table was perfect, but the food missed its mark, so much so that we might not go back to that location again. On another note, we did like how this Original Pancake House seemed newer and the decor was a lot nicer than others we've visited prior.
OPH is our definition of comfort food - always fresh, always delicious, always consistently friendly service. We also love the Nordic feel of the Burnsville restaurant - lots of windows, pine wood and fun wallpaper. Our favorite is to sit at the breakfast bar, enjoying pancakes, watching sports and solving spelling bee. And that's exactly what we did today! :))
Original Pancake House never misses! I love to get their Northwoods hash - it is hash browns topped with scrambled eggs, bacon, red peppers, chorizo sausage, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeños. It is very savory and has a little bit of a kick. The 49er pancakes are its own dish but I like to have them as a substitute side to the Northwoods hash. The 49ers are really thin pancakes that are absolutely delicious with their maple syrup. One of the better breakfast places in the metro. I often get the food to go - the inside is nice, spacious, and clean with a comfortable atmosphere. When I have eaten in person the staff have always been friendly.
Food is marvelous when you are super hungry great for breakfast lovers. Got decaf with Almond milk and the coffee is amazing. The service is spectacular. Ambiance is good.
Lisa was a wonderful server, I have no idea what kind of money she is making, but she deserves a raise! We came on a Saturday morning and only waited 25 minutes for our 3 person table, despite it being very busy. The food was delicious and came very quickly. The ambience at this OPH is also cuter than the one in Eden Prairie.
Always great! Smiling service, food is yummy & staff is quick too! Love how clean & organized they are too!
Always a 10/10! I absolutely love the blueberry pancakes with warm syrup. Get there early as they fill up quick
Service was great the food was amazing! We visited from Omaha, and we would definitely go back because of how delicious it was. The portions where good size you will not leave hungry! I had the ham and cheddar crepe and instead of fresh fruit I substituted hash browns for a up-charge. Make sure you go online before you go and get on the waitlist. Otherwise you will have a long wait.
It was my first time in OPH and it was so good!We came at 6:30 in the morning after dropping somebody at the airport and it was quiet and fast service.The omelette was very filling with ham,peppers and cheese and it came with hash browns on the side.Inwould def come back for more!
Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the flavorful breakfast options, friendly, efficient service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

This was definitely a great family style breakfast restaurant that we enjoyed breakfast at with my family while visiting Minnesota. When we arrive the first thing that I noticed were the cute coffee mugs out front. And I said to myself that before we leave, I have to purchase one, and so I did! We sat down and our server came to our table to bring us some coffees and water, and then took our order for our food. I debated for a while if I wanted to order the Dutch baby pancakes because the server did make me aware it would take about 20 minutes for preparation. I allowed everybody else at my table to place their order and then I finally made my decision and I said what the heck, let's get it! I placed my order and to my surprise my order was the first thing to come out! Boy was thrilled. The pancake itself is huge, and the smell alone was amazing. The Dutch baby came with a couple different syrups, some lemon wedges, powdered sugar, and a jam. I decorated my pancake, and I went at it, it was heaven. Soft, flaky, sweet and definitely satisfying. It's a definite must if you're coming here for breakfast or even brunch. The restaurant got filled pretty quickly, it was on Labor Day that we visited, and when we arrived, there were not many tables that were occupied, but slowly the restaurant was filled. There were no complaints at my table, everybody enjoyed their breakfast and everything came out correct and perfect. read more

The orange juice is amazing - don't miss it. Service was poor this time as our server never came back to refill drinks or check on us. My husbands pancakes, eggs and ham were good. My cheesy hashbrowns were great. The avocado benedict was also very good. It was the poor service and having to wait 20 minutes for the check that lost a star on the review. read more

We came here with my extended family for breakfast after church. First time here, even though we live in town and its been open 7 years. Did an online reservation. I ordered the apple Dutch baby pancake. The server put the order in right away as it takes 30 minutes. This literally will serve 3-4 people. My dad took a large piece, and I shared and still brought a lot home. It is about $14. The 4 egg omelets were also huge, and others brought back leftovers. I rarely go out for breakfast, as it's the simplest meal to make. The server was really nice and efficient, earning a $20 tip from our table. Next time, I want to try the other Dutch pancake and the hashbrowns. The place is super busy, so make reservations. read more

Love this place. Unfortunately I don't get to go often as my daughter has a nut allergy and my wife doesn't like breakfast that much. Today stopped in for the corn beef hash bowl with two eggs over easy. They hit it of the park again. Plus I felt like a little extra meat so order the side of sausage links. The server even had a bottle of hot sauce ready for me. The fresh squeezed orange juice was great as always. I went in pretty early so it was pretty quiet, but started picking up by the time I was done. read more

OPH is a staple restaurant for our family. Its atmosphere is cozy and a good fit for a wide variety of people. I never feel under or overdressed here, I always feel comfortable. Their staff is always very attentive and will help with suggestions with anything regarding the menu. They use real cream in their coffee which is always a good choice. They have their special mugs that can be purchased in many colors. They have such unique items like their 49er flap jacks that come as large as the plate and completely flat. I enjoy the berry waffles that have an enormous amount of berries. The Dutch boy pancakes are so fun and fluffy that I had not tried anything like them before. The cherry crepes are a family go-to as well but you must be patient they take about a half-hour before you are served. Worth the wait. read more

Prior to our arrival the wait time online said 0 mins, but the real wait time is waiting for our server to come. I used to come here very often but I noticed that they have changed their menu completely. Notice how it's Original Pancake House, but their new menu took away a lot of those pancake/waffle options....Ordered blueberry pancake and it was so crunchy and burnt..... The apple waffle was quite litteraly a waffle with apples on top. Oh my The menu needs to go back to how it was :( Lastly the hash browns are SO MUSHY. not crispy like they say on the menu. read more

This review is LONG overdue! In these crazy COVID times we have ordered take out from here several times and the food has been great every time! Most recently I had the pumpkin spice pancakes which were a-h-mazing! Anyone who loves pumpkin anything like myself will love these! When I did make it into the restaurant a couple of months ago I felt so safe, the staff was exceptional, and the food was amazing. They took great care to create a safe, and somewhat normal dining atmosphere which is really hard to do these days. Bravo, and I can't wait to return once you're up and running again! Plus these coffee mugs are THE cutest and you just have to have some good old fashioned coffee out of a typical diner mug. read more

Denny's who? This place has made me forget every other diner out there. This place is legit. It's clean, great service, and the food, my god the food! Go with friends, and share whatever you get. The portions are big and beautiful. My husband and I shared the potato pancakes, cherry crepes, and the northwoods hash browns. It was all so good. Cherry sauce tasted like the filling of a jelly doughnut, but not as thick. Great flavor to the hash browns. Annnnd they serve Coke products, WINNER. We will for sure be back. read more
I can not count the number of times my family has been here for breakfast. It's just such a great place to bring the family for breakfast or brunch. The atmosphere is great. There only TIP I have is make a reservation through their reservation app. Otherwise you'll be waiting a while. What's good here: Almost everything! My favorites are- 1) Corned beef bowl 2) Chicken tomatillo bowl 3) Fresh berry waffle DO YOURSELF A FAVOR MAKE SURE TO GET 1) Hot Chocolate ( don't skip on the whipped cream. It tastes like Haagen Daaz ice cream) 2) A side of bacon Trust me if is worth it! read more

Hash browns, by far, were the best I've ever had. Large portion, lightly crispy and not too greasy. I've never had a Dutch pancake and this was a treat. Highly recommend getting it loaded, with fresh sliced bananas and strawberries, whip cream with a side of strawberry glaze and syrup. read more

While in Minnesota for a wedding, in December, we had no idea where we should eat and didn't have it in us to stand in the cold and decide. So we trusted yelp to help us, and we were not disappointed! We came in on a weekend morning and the wait wasn't too bad. Once seated, the service was wonderful. Our waitress was so kind. She answered questions and made sure our drinks were never empty. I ordered the raspberry monkey bread French toast and the corned beef hash. So. Good! I've run into a streak of people undercooking it's over cooking my French toast, and they nailed it here. The berries were fresh and not drenched in a syrup. I don't remember what the rest of my party ordered, but I know everyone was please and not a complaint was uttered. If we are ever in the area again, we will for sure be back. read more
