The food and service is always amazing :) my grandpa is the once who recommended it and we'd always get the early bird special and so now I'm bringing my friends to have a delicious brunch tomorrow! read more

After church, my son and I had brunch at The Original Pancake House. It's always a good solid breakfast. Our table/dining area was a little tight, and the inside is looking a little dated. I ordered the gluten-free pancakes. I wanted them like the strawberry pancakes but the server said that the kitchen won't add anything extra to the gluten-free pancakes. So he brought me the strawberries and whipped cream and powdered sugar for me to add to the pancakes myself. After I added everything, they were delicious. He also brought us warm syrup. The menu indicated that the flour used for the gluten-free pancakes were Bob's Red Mill, which makes a good GF flour. My son had the cinnamon almond french toast. He said they were good. We both shared an order of sausage patties. The dining room was full but we didn't have to wait for a table. read more

Whilst visiting family in the area, we came to The Original Pancake House for breakfast. We were a considerably sized group at about 8 people. We only waited for a little while before being seated. After briefly looking at the menu, I decided to have the pancakes with strawberries on top. I liked that I could get a combo with eggs and sausage since I can get a bit "sweeted out" with just pancakes. After a few minutes, the food came out. It was sooo delicious. Everything was very fresh and warm as hoped. Everything was cooked perfectly and there was a good balance of flavors. Definitely an ideal breakfast outing! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would be eager to come to The Original Pancake House again. Definitely recommend. read more

The Original Pancake House - Strawberry Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Came by myself and got seated right away. It was a random Tuesday late morning and only a handful of people there, so might get busy on the weekend, unsure. No frill, get exactly what you order. My eggs were cooked perfectly! My chocolate chip pancakes were yummy. I did ask if they can add more chocolate chips, but she said she can bring some of the side. Which I thought was odd, throw it in the batter. Still pleased with my breakfast! read more

I have been going to The Original Pancake House for over 20 years in South Florida and was genuinely excited to visit this location in Alpharetta. Unfortunately, this experience was absolutely terrible and left me questioning the standards of this restaurant. I always order strawberry pancakes and ask for them to be served after my eggs and turkey sausage so I can enjoy them hot and fresh. I have made this simple, reasonable request at countless restaurants, including IHOP and Cracker Barrel, and it has never been a problem. At this location, I was dismissively told, "We just don't do it." No attempt to accommodate me, no effort to find a solution, and absolutely no concern for customer satisfaction. My pancakes were cold by the time I ate them, and the staff showed little to no concern. To make matters worse, my eggs were not cooked properly, and I had to ask other servers for coffee refills. The service was unacceptable, the food was disappointing, and the overall attitude toward customer service was appalling. After more than 20 years of patronage, I expected far better. This location completely failed to deliver the quality, hospitality, and basic customer service that should be expected from a restaurant of this name. I left frustrated, disappointed, and regretting the visit. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this location. read more

I have been to OPH locations between Charlotte, NC, and Phoenix, AZ, but I have to say that this one is the very best. This location has the best décor, it's clean, comfortable, but it can get busy depending when you go. The eggs and bacon here are simply the best probably because they are cooked with peanut oil as the menu says. And that's why if you buy Hormel black label bacon, which is what they use, and cook it at home, it won't taste the same. They offer crepes and blintzes and more unusual things I haven't seen in a long time. I would like to try other things on the menu, but I keep getting the Dutch Baby pancake, which is rather like a soufflé, served with lemon wedges and powdered sugar. They're kind of addictive. The coffee is good and strong, and it's nice they give you a mini-pitcher of cream with it. The service has always been good in my estimation. They always check up on me and ask me if I want refills of coffee (and I do). They've never screwed up my order, nor have they' ever left me feeling abandoned no matter how busy they get. read more

E X P E R I E N C E there's ample seating indoors to wait. outdoor standing space available we checked in online for the wait list and spoke to the host upon arrival. they texted us when our table was ready download the oph app for a reward to apply immediately!

French toast: light crispy exterior three little pigs in blankets everything was cooked to perfection. 5/5 OPH is a classic. The German pancake is a NEED. So dense but fluffy? So eggy.

We stopped in to the Original Pancake House for breakfast and we were very happy to find out it is full service. We haven't found many breakfast spots that are. My husband ordered the Corn Beef Hash and said it was really good. My mom had the peach pancakes and loved them. I had the Georgia Pecan Pancakes with the brandied peaches on the side and they were delicious. I was shocked at the amount of food they served us. Each pancake order had 6 full size pancakes!! I would have been okay with 2. My biggest complaint was the prices were high for breakfast. We dropped 100$ for three people. The food is good but I would prefer small portions and prices. read more

The Original Pancake House - Nutella crepes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Good - nothing to write home about. My pecan waffle had raw pecan bits that did not go well with it. The raw taste of the pecan was in conflict with the waffle, syrup and butter. My son ordered the Georgia Peach Pancake, which was extreme in terms of size. He did not eat even a quarter. He did not like the eggy butter, he said it made him nauseous. He ended up drinking my coffee to calm his tummy. My husband the only one who enjoyed his blueberry pancake. Ambience- it was quite loud with the family next to us speaking so loudly we were drawn in to there conversation unwillingly. Our server was the best part of the experience and the reason for the 3 star. She was pleasant and engaged us throughout. read more

Top notch ingredients and attention to quality make for a breakfast that's consistently better than most (fresh-squeezed OJ, in-house homemade cream, etc.) great coffee in a fun mug and a solid Kids Menu. I had the strawberry waffle with fresh strawberries and strawberry sauce (and of course, the homemade cream) and my husband had strawberry pancakes with a side of bacon. Portions are plenty big and plated beautifully. Cade was our server and one of the best we've ever had. He was never intrusive, but had great intuition to keeping the coffee flowing and checking on our needs. I will ask for him every time going forward. The ambiance is not fancy, but welcoming. It's usually packed and my BEST tip for you is to join the waitlist ahead of time. read more

Always good. I've been coming to Th Original Pancake House (2 locations) for nigh on 25 years. Their Duluth location was a mile from my house and a favorite 'til they closed. Two years ago, I discovered this location. To far for regular stops, but from time-to-time I have a hankerin' for buckwheat pancakes. This is the ONLY place to go. Always great food. Always good service. Always happy upon leaving. read more

Before my wife passed, the OPH was our favorite breakfast, we shared the Apple Pancake every week.

The restaurant is large and can handle plenty of patrons. Our server was all smiles and friendly. We ordered pancakes and eggs and everything came as expected, delicious. Nothing was left u eaten! read more

This is our favorite breakfast place. Pigs in a blanket are the best! The service is always good and they manage the customers well. read more

Parking is a bit limited in the shopping complex. Seated at a table that gives little room to even breath. Not much of a selection for food except for breakfast items. Food portions are good and taste is OK. But don't really feel it's worth the price at paying over $20 (with tax and tip) for breakfast food. read more

I was driving around after a doctor's appointment looking for a quick breakfast. I stumbled upon The Original Pancake House (OPH) and I'm so glad that I did. Tucked away in a shopping center, OPH has a modern feel on the outside, but brings nostalga on the inside. Think old fashioned diner meets your Grandparent's home. Wooden picture frames, old school coffee mugs, and booth seating with cousins and friends surrouding you catching up on life. I ordered the Georgia Pecan Pancakes with turkey sasuage and scrambled eggs. The pancakes were soft, fluffly, and hot. The butter and powered sugar was a nice touch. The eggs and sasuage were cooked to perfection and the coffee was piping hot. My waitress was so sweet. She was attentive and made sure to check in on me as I was a party of one. I look forward to trying this OPH again preferably with friends next time. While I didn't feel awkward alone, I think it would be such a fun time to catch up on a Saturday morning in a nostalgic atmmosphere! Overall Rating: read more

The food was great! The server was nice, but the hostess was terrible. She didn't say a word, and I could just feel that she's didn't want to work. She just killed the good vibe as we walked in. read more

Great food and nice servers. Everything is fresh and made to order. The dining area can be a bit noisy but not extremely

Joined the waitlist and we got to the restaurant and they lost or or deleted it even though we had a text confirmation. Didn't put us ahead and I had 2 elderly ladies who can't sit in those uncomfortable benches. Why offer the option if they won't honor it?? read more

The food was good not fantastic. I really liked our server, Ruth, she was attentive and kind and also informative when I asked about potato pancakes. The eggs were cooked as I ordered them which was nice. The place is old but clean. Overall it was a good experience but being the "Original" pancake house I expected more. read more

The food was excellent, the service was excellent - joining the remote waitlist was perfect. Sweetest server and also the manager who validated my Groupon.

Great and unique breakfast choices. Very good quality and service. Some items seem expensive but the portions are very large and frequently good to share. read more

What's the point of a wait list when you don't seat by it. As 2nd, I saw 7 parties seat in front of us. Then as first, 3 more parties. Great even that it's Mother's Day and you don't want to cause a scene, but is stupid to have a wait list and you don't call by it. read more

The Original Pancake House is located in a nice outdoor shopping complex in Alpharetta. What drew me in was their menu with unique creations for breakfast items like pecan waffles and toasted coconut pancakes. The interior is a bit off as there is a main dining room with tables and booths and an additional smaller dining room in the back. We were initially seated in the dining room in the back, but it seemed not to have any sort of atmosphere and disconnected from the rest of the restaurant, so asked to be seated in the main dining room. The booths seemed a bit claustrophobic with uncomfortable seating, and it seems that whoever designed the layout may have cut some corners not considering guest comfort. Seating aside, the food was good. We ordered both the pecan waffle and the pecan pancakes. Both were delicious and tasty, prepared using fresh ingredients and made from scratch batter. In the taste department, we liked both, but the pecan waffle (4/5) slightly edged out the pecan pancakes (3.5/5) since the pecans baked into the waffle added a bit more eating enjoyment than the pancakes that had a majority of the pecans on top. Their maple syrup was solid and of great quality without being too sweet. Drink prices were a bit on the higher side, as a glass of orange juice was over 6 dollars. Service by Jay was super friendly and she checked in on us just the right amount. Overall, this was a delicious breakfast experience, and one I'd love to repeat to try out some of their other unique variations for pancakes and waffles. read more

Very delicious, huge portions. Great service a bit pricy for breakfast but the portions are so big, you can easily split an entire. They put 6 eggs in their omelets!! read more

The service was fine on my recent visit. The food quality has really declined. I lived in Chicago years ago where this chain has five locations. The meals were great and memorable. My meal today was just average and definitely not worth the 40 minute drive to visit this location. Note for those using a Groupon, an 18% gratuity is automatically added to your bill when the coupon is redeemed. I don't expect to return anytime soon. It's just nothing special anymore. read more

Adriana is amazing and the food is always good. Very consistent and world class customer service!!

Food was excellent, portions great. Service was also excellent, kind of dingy atmosphere.

Victor was an amazing waiter and the good was excellent! I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent service and the check in folks were awesome on Father's Day navigating a lot of people waiting with patience and empathy.

By far the best pancakes I've ever had. The service is always great as well. Can get very busy on the weekends.

Food is always fresh and good. Coffee is a bit bitter for my taste but I have no complaints about the food. The Dutch baby is my favorite. Service is always spot on. read more

Always a winner! We've come here for years with our family. Huge omelettes and a delicious variety of pancakes. Victor was great!

Top notch on every metric. Superior quality food and service. I've been a regular customer for years and have never been disappointed.

From when I stepped into the establishment I was greeted warmly by the staff, and quickly directed to where I could place my to go order. Although I inadvertently arrived much closer to closing time that I have originally striven to (2:15 and they closed at 3), the staff was still very attentive and I at no point felt rushed. Percy was AWESOME - I only wish I had more to tip him for his awesome service. Ordered the 49'er Flap Jacks and the Corned Beef Hash. It's hard to get Corned Beef Hash wrong, so it was no surprise that it was well seasoned and yummy, and the three poached eggs were a welcome addition. The 49'er Flap Jacks were a REVELATION - I'm so used to traditional pancakes, and from the size of these (they're HUGE) to the wonderful chewy consistency and the mild flavor, these are one of the best pancake variations that I have ever had. All in all, just a great experience! read more
