So, while I did give it 3 stars, since my family and I went there for my Grandma and she likes it, I would say a 4-star review is also appropriate. Anyways, the service was great, the restaurant was clean, and the seating was big for the 5 of us. That being said, the avocado tasted almost sour, another dish apparently tasted reheated, and the so-cal eggs benedict I had was okay. It is also necessary to note that the coffee they serve is on the darker/bitter side. So, if you enjoy coffee like that you'll have no problem but if you don't just be aware you might not enjoy it.

I ordered the egg and pea meal ham plate ( Cdn bacon) and a pancake. The egg was cooked just right, there were 3 good pieces of ham and the pancake was good.

Original Pancake House has by far the best side I've ever heard of when you order an omelet:…read moreinstead of boring old toast, you get pancakes. These pancakes are magical...the buckwheat gives every bite a nutty and slightly sweet character. So why not just order pancakes? You could do that, and I guarantee you'll love them. But...yeah, the omelets are also magical. They whip the eggs to make them fluffy, which makes the omelet seem larger and somehow light at the same time. I love the spinach omelet with cheddar, but what really makes it sing is the creamy sherry mushroom sauce. I don't mind admitting that I went mmm mmm mmm with every bite. Order an extra side of sauce...you'll want to dip everything (except the pancakes) in it. They also do an excellent scrambled eggs and bacon, which my wife ordered. Service was solid: we never had an empty coffee mug, and the food arrived reasonably quickly despite how busy it was. This location was always busy years ago, and it still is, which is a testament to its excellence. We're going to need to find an excuse to visit Grosse Pointe Woods more often.

My boyfriends apple pancake came out a little burnt, but we aren't complainers so we didn't care. Teri saw the burnt pancake, came up to us and took it off our bill AND gave us another one on the house. she was seriously so amazing, we will be asking for her every single time we come back. The food is always amazing when we go, just this time it was a little busy so we are sure that is the reason the pancake was a little burnt. The atmosphere is so cute in there too, we just love going there as a couple! Seriously, if you want everything to be amazing, get Teri. We have had her twice now and just adore her to pieces!

Another place on my childhood food tour. I have been craving their food since a small child. I love…read morethis place and it hits the spot each and every time. There is absolutely nothing bad on the menu. There are so many delicious items, I have a hard time picking what I want since I want everything. First, I love their coffee. We came for lunch and I had already had my morning coffee, but we had not been here in so long, I needed my Original coffee fix and ended up having three more cups. Their coffee taste great all ways, black, with cream, with cream and sugar, so good! My child had a strawberry lemonade. They limit you to only one refill, but they were very kind and asked her if she was ready for her second cup. We love their specialties, which they do warn you takes extra long to bake, about twenty minutes, but it is always worth it. I ended up getting the baby Dutch garden, which is baked. It is so good, so underrated, I love this one every time. It is like an omelette inside a German pancake. It is perfection. I always also need something sweet, so I got a half order of blueberry pancakes. The batter is so good and they give you a side of blueberries in syrup. My child got the baked apple. This is the most iconic treat and a must order if you have never been here before. Again, it is baked sugar, apples and cinnamon inside a German pancake. We both had leftovers. So, each of our meals was like two meals. My husband got the broccoli and cheese omelette and a side of chocolate chip pancakes. They have hands down the best chocolate chip pancakes in the area and their omelettes are so fluffy and delicious. Personally, when I get their omelette, I get the spinach and cheddar which is amazing. Other items I love include the 49ers. Those are the best pancakes, they are a hybrid crepe and American pancake, and if you have never had one, you need to try them, they are ginormous. Their buckwheat pancakes are also so good. Their orange juice is typically fresh squeezed and worth ordering, and there are so many other items I have never tried because I do not have enough room in my stomach. This is a must try for everyone. There is usually a long line, but it tends to go quickly. Service is always friendly.
