Strawberry Pancake(4)
Jerran N.

What a pleasant surprise. I came to the mall and saw this place in the cut leaving out. I was hungry and figured I'd give them a shot. We walked in around 1:30 and were quickly seated. Waitress came over shortly after being seated and took our orders. I ordered the French Toast works with home fries, eggs and bacon. My daughter ordered the apple cinnamon French toast and my wife ordered the strawberry pancakes. The food came after about 15 minutes and I was surprised at the amount. The Strawberry pancakes were 4 fluffy almost plate size pancakes with fresh strawberries on top. The Apple cinnamon French toast had really delicious apples. A good portion as well. I personally had the French toast works. The eggs were just right. The home fries were warm but could have had some more seasoning. The bacon was thick and crispy. The French toast was a nice portion I just wished they were hot instead of like warm. Overall I enjoyed my experience here. I'd definitely come back and ask for hot syrup to warm up my toast or pancakes however the Cracker Barrel coming across the street will make it difficult.

First timer at the Original Pancake house for breakfast. The restaurant looked clean and it was a quiet Friday morning there. The customer service was okay , I wished the server would have vocally checked in more especially as a solo diner. I ordered the strawberry waffle and the strawberries tasted fresh and the waffle was just your average waffle you probably could make at home.

Who needs IHOP when you have The Original Pancake House, so close to home?! Stopped by today for Brunch with my mini me and they did not disappoint. We were seated right away, our server was very attentive and our food was brought out quickly. My son switched things up and went for the Waffle works with a Strawberry Chocolate waffle today and let me tell you he was loving every bite. I opted for my normal Pancake works with Strawberry Pancakes, which were also delicious. It's just something about that Strawberry Syrup and fresh whipped cream! We did have a mishap with the ketchup bottle, so both our hash browns got a little extra love :) All in all we had another great visit and definitely won't be our last!

This is attached to the mall so there was plenty of parking available. The customer service was really good and everyone was very friendly and helpful. I ordered Swedish pancakes and I'm not sure exactly what I received it seemed like thick crepes. I asked them and showed them a picture and they mentioned that this location wasn't aware how they were made at the other locations. It was too thick and not good, so they offered to replace them. i was pretty disappointed because they were the entire reason I went there. I got the regular buttermilk pancakes. They were fluffy and delicious. I asked foresee strawberry puree and they provided me with sliced strawberries. I think this would be a great place with good food for the basics. But I'm not sure how the food will be of it varies outside of french toast/pancake territory.

This is a casual breakfast experience, but they have loads of pancake options and friendly service. So it's giving as advertised, which I love. Luckily I found this place when I did. We were originally heading to a brunch spot that only opened in Sundays. So I love that this Saturday late morning I was able to do brunch. The sliced strawberries was not for decoration, but flavorful impact.

My hunnie suggested we give this place another try before writing them off. Really wanted this to be our go to breakfast spot since they have strawberry crepes!!!!! I just love strawberry crepes minus the eye lash/hair mine has come with in the whip cream!*** I mean fool me once...but I guess since the 2nd time was his sour cream, he suggested we just give them another try... So we decided to order for pick up and hold the whip for me! Hahahaaa!!! & hold the sour cream for him. Today's order was ready when I arrived and was even better when I made it back home to enjoy!! Happy Yelping!

This was my first time @ The Original Pancake House at Annapolis Mall. I had passed it several times & always wanted to visit, so while doing some shopping, the Wife & I said: what the heck. Why not? Keena got Steak & eggs w/ Hash Browns, Banana Pancakes & Coffee. We nibbled off of each other's plates & while her steak was delicious, the star of the show was those pancakes, which I admit, I judged & wanted no parts of. I admit it, I was wrong bc those things were amazing. I got the Country Fried Steak & Eggs w/ potatoes & Blueberry Pancakes w/ a Hot Chocolate(bc it reminds me of what I'd get as a kid - don't judge). My meal was fantastic. I can't pick a winning dish, bc truthfully? The winner was me. The sausage gravy on my steak perfectly complimented it, and my eggs were cooked perfectly. My service was great too, and for as much food as we ordered, there wasn't much of a wait. The vibe of the location was pretty good as well. It was crowded, a little noisy, but nothing that bothered me. Everyone seemed happy & so was I. We'll be visiting again whenever we're in the mood for a good breakfast.

My mom orders from here all the time. I've had solid experiences here in the past, but yesterday was a bit of a let down. Listen -- I get that with delivery, the food might not be piping hot. I am fine with that. However, this was a quality thing. I ordered a burger from here yesterday. And while it was fine, I was disappointed to discover that the hamburger patty wasn't the "half-pound steak burger" I was anticipating. I guess technically it fit the description, but normally when restaurants describe a burger like that, it's a hand-formed, higher quality cut of meat. This was essentially a well dressed Bubba Burger from the super market. I felt cheated. The bacon on the burger was the best part. I also opted for onion rings -- they were solid. I won't be ordering this again and will probably stick to my normal order going forward (the chicken and waffles).

It's located in the mall and it's a bit of a hidden gem when you want a quick reasonably priced brunch or breakfast. Sure it's great anytime of day but we went for brunch. The food came out fairly quickly and was good. Our waiter was great. And it's a pretty good place for families to get together. It's located in the mall so you have lots of options nearby but I'm pretty sure this is one of the anchor restaurants in the area. They do brisk business and the popularity is well earned.

My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time this morning. We were seated promptly upon entering the restaurant. The restaurant is very clean and inviting. After we had been sitting down for no more than two or three minutes, our waitress, Nikki, was over to offer us coffee while we looked at the menu. She was very pleasant and personable. I ordered these strawberry crêpes. When I ordered, Nikki asked if I would like any sizes and when I asked her how large the crêpes were, she said it would be very filling and so I opted not to get any size. She was correct! The portion was huge. My husband ordered the chicken tenders and waffles. He is a bit of a chicken and waffle snob so he prefers chicken thighs over chicken tenders, but if the breading and flavoring is decent, it helps make up for it. He said that the breading was very crispy, but could have used a little bit more flavoring. The menu has a lot on it! So, we will definitely be back to try out some of the other options that they have. If you like pancakes, and the other usual breakfast fare, you'll definitely want to check them out.

I've been wanting to try this location out for some time, and we finally got that chance! I've actually only been to one other location in Virginia, and that was years ago, so I went in without much of an expectation or recollection of any other experience. The vibe in here is pretty chill! They have almost diner (Denny's) -like booths with VERY yellow cushions. It had a nostalgic feel about it. The mugs for coffee are shown on the wall and are those hand-thrown looking ceramic jobs... very nifty! We weren't sure what we were getting coming into the joint, but we each found something we liked. The kid got the M&M pancakes off the kid's menu, my wife got the strawberry-nutella crepes, and I got the Hawaiian pancakes. Wife and I got the above as specialty add-ons to breakfast combo meals (eggs + meat kinda deal). Everything... and I mean everything... was delicious! The pancakes by themselves were not sweet, which was perfect! The add-ons and syrup add enough sweetness, personally, and you can adjust to your likes. So, these were a huge win. Mine were AWESOME! There was pineapple in the batter (yum) and the tropical syrup was so good (double yum)! I got mine with eggs over medium (slightly undercooked, but not a deal-breaker), bacon, and fruit (instead of potatoes). These were all great too. But, you know what's special about this place? They have SCRAPPLE!!! LOL! I know I might be in a very limited crowd here, but I really do enjoy scrapple, so I'm always happy to see it on a menu. Plus, they clearly cooked it on the flat top grill, not deep fried like some places do. That gives it the perfect consistency! Not gonna lie, this place was fantastic. And I wish I'd gone exploring for it sooner. It's in a somewhat busy place in between the Cheesecake Factory and California Pizza Kitchen, but it's less crowded before those two lunch-dinner joints open up. Just watch out for the crazy brunch crowds on weekends. Overall, a great breakfast spot with a ton of flavorful options for your standard pancake breakfast. Looking forward to going back!

Bottom Line: Consistently good service and tasty breakfast. Many months ago my husband and I tried the Original Pancake House on a whim thinking it would be a "one and done" for us but instead it's part of our breakfast rotation. Service has consistently been attentive and friendly. While we're not ordering fancy breakfast, the meals have always been satisfying. I typically get a black coffee and the 2x2x3 which is two eggs, two pieces of sausage or bacon and three pancakes. I get the classic buttermilk pancakes but they offer plenty of pancake flavors including some seasonal flavors. Original Pancake House is located at the Annapolis Mall on the end where Nordstrom used to be and next to California Pizza Kitchen.

The menu confirms that B&B takes vegans and vegetarians seriously. The amount of fresh vegetables…read moreand fruits included with items confirms that. I arrived around 1pm on a rainy August day, and on-street parking was readily available nearby. The atmosphere was maritime cafe. You order at a window near the front door and then pick a table or, if available, padded chair. With a beverage, it'd be possible to get a couple of hours of work done. I ordered the vegan crabcake. It came with a small, fresh side salad with homemade dressing. The sandwish was filling and tasty. The crabmeat substitute was made of jackfruit and included the appropriate spices and toppings. I'd definitely hang there next time I'm in Annapolis. I would plan to arrive in the morning to sample the intriguing breakfast items.

Their breakfast sandwiches are also delicious and made with really good-quality ingredients. We tried the egg, bacon, and avocado sandwich, and it was very tasty. They also have vegan and gluten-free, allergy-conscious cookies, which is a great option for those with dietary restrictions. In many of the sandwiches, you can substitute the regular cheese with vegan cheese, making it easy to customize your meal. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor area right by the water. The outdoor seating area is well maintained and clean, and the bathroom was also very clean. Overall, the food is tasty, there are plenty of options for different dietary needs, and the waterfront seating is a nice bonus. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I ended up going with a cheesesteak sandwich and I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect balance of bread and filling. Flavourful and juicy and cheesy. I added salt to mine but I like salt. They have a 6lb colossal milkshake challenge! I wasn't up too it, but would consider if I didn't eat all day beforehand.

They have additional seating upstairs, but I grabbed a seat at the bar and was immediately taken care of. One thing I really appreciated was the Faces of Valor wall and how many of the menu items are named after local figures, politicians, firefighters, and other members of the community. Around 8:30 AM, they invite a volunteer to lead the Pledge of Allegiance, which I thought was a really nice touch and a reflection of their strong sense of patriotism. (9:30 during the weekend) I ordered the Annapolis Cheesesteak Omelette, and it was pretty good! The ambiance is very much an old-school diner, with pictures covering the walls and plenty of local history and personality throughout the space. It has that classic, community-centered feel that makes the experience more than just grabbing breakfast. Service was another highlight. Despite how busy it was, everyone was fast, attentive, and welcoming. You pay at the counter, which keeps things simple and efficient. My only complaint was the bar stool! I'm pretty short, so my feet were dangling the entire time, and there wasn't a footrest like you'd typically find on other bar stools. By the time I finished eating, my feet were pretty much numb LOL. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're vertically challenged like me! Overall, I had a great experience! Between the friendly service, classic diner atmosphere, and unique local touches, this is a great spot to stop by for breakfast in Annapolis.

I wasn't even aware of that regular corn beef hash came out of a can so although that's not pictured here, that was definitely something to know!

The table included a shaker of old bay which was a nice touch. Coffee was decent. We also got one each of their daily special muffins to go (pecan pie and coffee cake) but we haven't eaten them yet. Will def be back if we're ever in this part of town.
