    Parking here is hit or miss. And you can look forward to a wait since this place is always packed especially weekends. But that's a good thing, right? Means the food is good. I like the breakfast here. For being so busy I'd say the staff here have it organized and moving quickly. The waiters and bussers are very attentive and we were surprised how quickly our food came after ordering. The price can be a little steep here but the portions are huge so if you like sharing I'd suggest it, unless you can eat 6 pancakes on your own, more power to you. Today I shared the banana pancakes with kids and ordered sides of eggs and sausages. Coffee and water and we were stuffed by the time we left. The busser came around about 4 times to t try and refill my cup of coffee which was nice but kindly declined after the first refill since I didn't want to leave a jitter bug with caffeine overdose lol. However I really like how well the staff pays attention to the customers here. Highly recommendable breakfast diner.

    Came here early Saturday morning. Wasn't too busy. Haven't been here in awhile. 1. Potato pancake 2. Dutch Baby 3. French toast 4. Western Omelette Not a fan of the dutch baby or the potato pancake. The french toast was good. Wasn't too eggy. Omelette was nice and fluffy. Would get these last 2 again. Service was good. Food came quickly. Overall 3.5

    Kids' Banana Pancakes ($9.95) & turkey sausage ($7.50)

    My wife and I have been going to the Original Pancake House for years. It is always a perfect choice when choosing to go out for breakfast. Surprisingly, since having kids, we've only taken them here a couple of times. And this last time, a week ago, was just as good as the first time we went. Service is always quick and friendly (even if there's a little wait for a table on busy Saturday and Sunday mornings) and the food is consistently fantastic. The wife and I shared the Eggs Benedict ($20.95) served with potato latkes (pancakes) and their version is really one of the best. Oftentimes at other breakfast places, the Hollandaise Sauce, which can make or break a perfectly good poached egg atop circles of Canadian Bacon and English Muffin, just isn't up to snuff. But not here at the OPH. Theirs has a slight lemony richness that is just near perfect. And those latkes are thin, slightly crispy and served the good 'ol Jewish way with apple sauce and sour cream. These suckers aren't your Nana's potato pancakes; they're amazing. The $20.95 pricetag has increased over the years but since we shared (and it was enough to do so), I was fine with it. The kids both ordered pancakes as if they believed they had no other choice at THE ORIGINAL PANCAKE HOUSE even though I kept telling at least one of them to order the Apple Pancake or Dutch Baby. But they chose simplicity instead and thoroughly enjoyed theirs, one with pineapple and coconut (the kids' Hawaiian for $9.95) and the other with bananas ($9.95). They also ordered a side of bacon ($7.99) and turkey sausage ($7.50)...and I was glad they got the kids portion which was absolutely plenty with ample left over to take home. The total for the four of us for breakfast came to $78.65 with tip which is a far cry from what the two of us paid back in 2001 when we had moved to Redondo but this is the world in which we live these days and it doesn't look like there's any turning back. I certainly wouldn't deduct a star because of this. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND for a yummy, fun breakfast outing every once in awhile.

    Went here on a Wednesday morning so it wasn't packed still busy but was sat right away! The staff were all so kind and I felt really comfortable. The potato pancakes were so tasty! I loved the strawberry pancakes! They came with so many that I got a half order! I was shocked with how many strawberries they had on them! They definitely don't skimp! So tasty I highly recommend

    I always have a good experience when I come here-- great service and yummy food! My favorite things to get are the corned beef hash and potato pancakes. The omelettes are also a great choice-- huge and so fluffy! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and always around to refill your coffee before you run out :)

    BUTTERMILK PANCAKES TWO EGGS SAUSAGE PATTY COFFEE PECAN WAFFLE orange juice

    The pancakes don't have flavor. They say it's buttermilk but even with syrup they don't have flavor. The coffee was bland. Customers service was amazing tho. They actually come to you every little while to ask if you need anything. Big plate of pancakes looks so pretty. The waffles are fireeeee. Love them with pecan and syrup. It's super loud but it's an awesome place. No waiting in line if your party isn't fully there they won't sit you.

    Our server was Maria and she took great care of us. Our water/coffee were constantly refilled. She came by a few times to check up on us. We got the strawberry pancakes, Dutch Baby, Eggs Michael and Eggs Benedict. All were good! The canadian bacon on the Benedict tasted a bit off to me when I tried it, but my daughter said she liked it. Potato pancakes were nice. My son put ketchup on it lol. Coffee definitely had lots of flavor, brewed superbly, not sour but full-bodied. We'll definitely go back. Spent $97 for four meals and 2 coffee.

    Some creative way to serve an omelette!!! You build your own if you want... it's fluffy and flavored, mine was with mushrooms, bacon, spinach and jalapeño on the side, accompanied by strawberries!! Awesome. Service is great with offering you coffee every five minutes everyone friendly and welcoming. It's like those old coffee shops of the 60s... if you decide to visit them be sure they have an extended menu of different delicious breakfast items...

    WESTERN OMELETTE
    Landon S.

    Great time at Original Pancake House. This was my first time back here in a very long time and it did not disappoint. Our waiter Isidro was extremely nice the whole time. He continuously came back to our table and asked if we needed refill on coffee or water. Very friendly. Our food was delicious and a great portion size. The wait time was also very minimal. The standard western omelette comes with 3 buttermilk pancakes which I had upgraded to sourdough pancakes. All of which were very good. The service here was very extraordinary and I will return soon once I'm back in the area.

    Dollar Pancakes, aren't they supposed to be 12 smaller pancakes?
    Ariana S.

    First time coming here, I was craving pancakes so decided to give this place a try. Service could have been better. The lady that was taking our order took my and my boyfriend's drink order then didn't even finish with us when turned and started taking the food order of the family next to us. As she was getting ready to leave I had to remind her to take my kids drink orders too. She was very distracted. My son ordered orange juice with ice and she brought ice on the side then later came and filled it up with water and said she forgot he had gotten his ice on the side. Also, my boyfriend ordered the dollar pancakes. Aren't they supposed to be 12 smaller ones? Well she first brought him a regular plate of 3 buttermilk pancakes , he corrected her, she checked the receipt and went back to get his order straightened out but brought him his place with 6 medium-ish pancakes... I'm confused. My boyfriend decided to just not tell her anything and keep them. I got the Dutch baby and wasn't a fan.. was too much egg for my liking. The pancakes were okay. I really liked my scrambled eggs and bacon tho! Orange juice was great too, did taste freshly squeezed! Was great for a first and only time coming here or maybe next time I'll try a different plate. Came in on a Sunday morning at 9, wait was only 15min. But as we were leaving it was more packed with families outside waiting to be seated. So come early! Ambiance was okay, reminded me a lot of ihop.

    Quick "I Was Here" shot LOL

    My "Soul Tie" decided to treat me to breakfast on December 19th, 2025 at this location. We found a parking spot upon a customer just leaving. The place was jammed packed but not to the point of uncomfortability. This location in my opinion pampers their customers. My friend and I was greeted and given service by Jefani and Mauricio. From the time we sat down Mauricio was right there to take our order for drinks. He not only poured coffee for my friend but was right there to refill it without her needing to call him over. These staff members go above and beyond to cater to their customers. I've never seen this type of service before and in a crowded restaurant at that!!! The music they played was at perfect volume. Jefani is the one that took our order. Good looking, pleasant and professional. Any questions we had concerning our order she answered. I had never been to a location like this so I went with the apple pancakes, scrambled eggs and turkey sausage with a grapefruit juice. I was very impressed that they served grapefruit juice as that isn't an option at most locations. It was very good. When my apple pancakes were brought out, I wasn't sure what I was seeing. In my opinion it was way too much topping for a pancake. Honestly it was more like an odd tasting apple pie than breakfast. I didn't care for it and regretted my order but went ahead and gave the eggs and sausage a try. They were perfect and on the money. My friend who ordered a waffle was happy with it but wasn't too thrilled at the fact that it was a thin buttermilk styled waffle and not the traditional american style. My pancake on the other hand taste soggy and weighed down. It even a hard overly crispy ring around it that was hard to cut through with a fork. I just couldn't with that pancake. I was going to take it as a loss. What happened when we decided to leave is what helped my decision to return. Patty who process the orders, greeted us in warm friendly manner. She even asked if we enjoyed our food. I was going to shrug it off as a loss. My friend spoke up and shared her concern about the way my pancake tasted (she gave it a try herself) and described to Patty what and why we didn't care for it and also that we didn't finish it after a couple of bites. Patty apologized sincerely for the experience and removed the pancake from the order. I was beyond shocked. That helped me to see that this location care deeply about customer service. I was beyond impressed. I want to give this location another try. I just hope I can talk my "Soul Tie" into returning or I'll just ask my husband who would be a first time customer.

They had two girls one named Bella and she was so sweet along with the other young lady. 5yrs.... I've enjoyed this location. James was another great barista. There's a blonde female that has bangs that I think is an original from the last 2-3yrs (she use to have deep black hair when she first started). I haven't seen her in a bit. The new staff is super harsh or just straight rude to a lot of customers. Sometimes impatient with new customers that stand too long trying to figure out what to get. My very last issue was a staff member whipping sweat from her uncovered head as she was making my sandwich. (I'm still waiting for that drink and sandwich refund from MONTHS ago) from corporate. I sent it back they brought the same sandwich out. They have been making the drinks incorrectly (because they are always training new staff since the fall and it's almost spring). Then that staff leaves after a short stint. They keep flying through managers since Daniel T left. One left after just a few weeks without warning. If you go in the left bathroom (I'm not trying to be crude) but, there has been oxidized period bl00d for two years now. No joke. It's on the wall by their orange trashcan from a woman probably tossing their tampon from a seated position. Their tables are often dirty lately. They did recently get new seats. Coffee beans are very good but, when you can't enjoy the location anymore it over shadows everything that's good. I spend 200-300 at a time for coffee beans. I can't even walk in to get a bag without your newest male staff member being very short with you at the register. I'm not sure why. I miss the smiles. I miss the baristas that really got to know you. What happened?
