Everything was exceptional - service, food, and atmosphere! It's our favorite breakfast place

Coffee, pancakes, and half a farmers Farmer's Scramble
Caleb H.

The best breakfast in Austin. Huge portions, amazing pancakes and eggs, decently priced. This is the spot to go for breakfast foods in town.

Bacon Pancakes
Justin M.

I came here for breakfast on Sunday with my mom and son and it was very delicious. I got the biscuits and gravy which came with eggs, bacon, and a side of pancakes which I chose the bacon pancakes. The biscuits were very fresh and fluffy, and the pancakes were good also. This place was also very busy which should tell you just how good the food is. Definitely a fairly frequent customer.

Step 4 add syrup
Christopher C.

Great breakfast diner serving particularly tasty pancakes and bacon. Wait times on weekends can be long so I'd suggest arriving early. Leaving a review to provide a suggestion to the 3 pigs in a blanket dish. Each pancake wrapped sausage is a bit bland on its own and needs some more flavors inside. The following concoction fixed these complaints and was the tastiest bite of food at the table: 1. Unroll the pig in a blanket 2. Smear some butter inside 3. Break up the bacon and sprinkle it on 4. Pour some syrup onto this 5. Wrap the whole thing back up If you're worried about looking like a four year old playing with their food, rest assured the outcome is well worth it. 4/5 would visit again

Service is attentive, responsive, and friendly. Our waitress gave us great suggestions, especially when eating the Dutch baby pancake. Cut like a pie topped with powdered sugar and lemon juice! We also tried the maple syrup way on another slice. Part crepe, part pancake, and part sweet quiche is the best way the Dutch baby pancake! Inside the pancake house is a warm, rustic, and welcoming environment. Perfect switch on your breakfast or brunch routine.

Ok, I think this is my second review and I must say I think I've figured this place out. 1. As soon as you think about eating here, get on the wait list. This joint is quite popular on the weekends. 2. Expect to be blessed with their choices. 3. You will have the best servers, so treat (tip) them properly. We dined here on the Sunday before Christmas 2025 and it was busy, yet nice at the same time. They offer something for everyone, even "Gluten Free" options. Our serve was the best. I took this shot while he was running around refilling coffee and busing tables. As much as I hate to bring extra business, you have to try this place. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx.

Corned Beef Hash
Salma S.

It's not super often that a restaurant is worth the hype. But lemme tell you, this place is 1000% worth the hype. Staff is super friendly, servers are great, food is great - not like tons of butter fake make you sick kinda great, but like it's good real food and cooked beautifully and the value for what you get is fantastic. $35 for all this and it was enough to feed at least 5. You can't even get that kind of value with fast food!!! Super busy but they keep it clean. I am looking forward to my next trip to Austin to try something else on the menu. Corned beef hash was delicious, pancakes and French toast... chefs kiss! And those eggs fluffy somewhere between regular scrambled and soufflé. And I don't like eggs at all.

Bacon & Eggs
Samyukta S.

Grateful to have always lived near a location of The Original Pancake House - California, Illinois, and now Texas! This location is fantastic. Love that they have the Yelp waitlist option. We added our names to the waitlist before leaving home, and after checking in with the host upon arrival only had to wait for 5 minutes for a table! The wait is otherwise insane. After being seated in a cozy booth, we enjoyed hot coffees and perused the extensive menu. After much consideration, we decided to order the banana pancakes to share, along with a bacon and eggs combo. The bacon and eggs combo came with hashbrowns. The bacon was too chewy for my personal taste, and hash browns lacked salt/flavor. The eggs were cooked per our request just fine. The banana pancakes were the star of our breakfast. Served hot off the griddle, these pancakes were soft and fresh. They came topped with banana slices and were served with fresh butter + syrup. Absolutely delicious and IMO the best pancakes in town. 10/10.

Original

First time I tried one of these was in Vegas and was really happy with it since I love pancakes. Yea this is a typical diner like ihop or dennys but their food tastes good unlike the other places. These are literally best pancakes you can get at a place like this. Really good. I got the original and son got Swedish. They even have lingonberry very impressed. If you are a pancake person this is the place to go.

Dutch pancake
Kimberly C.

If you are looking for a place with large servings, reasonable prices and delicious food this is your place. The wait can be long so I highly suggest you join the Yelp online waitlist. Once seated, service is unbelievably fast. If you plan on ordering the Dutch pancake it takes about 40 minutes to cook, so order this immediately once seated. You definitely won't be disappointed. The portions are large and shareable if you wanted to try a few things with multiple people. The berry crepe is extremely fresh and was more than enough for two people. If you are in the Austin area definitely check this place out. They have multiple locations as well.

Apple Pancake

Thirty years ago there was an "Original House of Pancakes in our neighborhood. They moved away and we never did understand WHY? We missed them very much. We finally went to the one on Partner Lane to introduce our Grandson to the Dutch Baby and Apple Pancake! He LOVED them and the special experience. "Bigger and Better" than expected!

Delicious coffee
Laurie N.

Stopped by this place. Ordered the Farmers omelette, Pigs in a Blanket kids plate, and silver dollar pancakes. The omelette filled up the plate with a bed of hash brown underneath and ordered French Toast so fluffy. The service was great. Coffee was delicious for me. The kids loved their breakfast. The ambience is casual. This place gets packed. I recommend if you want an American hearty breakfast. Next time i will order the Dutch Baby pancakes. Looks enticing.

apple pancake
Victoria W.

one of the best pancakes i've tasted in my life! dishes we got: regular pancakes apple pancake combination plate (bacon, eggs, hash browns) the apple pancake is one of their specialties (takes 30 minutes to make), but i thought their regular plain pancakes were the best. nice little hack: they have a yelp waitlist, so i joined about an hour before i wanted to go and didn't have to wait in line there. they do require everyone in the party to arrive before getting seated.

Parking lot is very large. It's in a shopping center with other stores and restaurants. I walked around the maze of different rooms and themes, bedroom, office, kids play items, etc. thankfully they have arrows on the floor to guide you through. I did find the storage containers and was really happy about the glass being a good quality. And they had 2 different types of lids. Plastic and bamboo. I've been pricing containers and these were close to half the cost at other places. And I love the ones I got because they are much deeper, so chili's, soups, mile high lasagna, will fit perfectly. Great price and quality. The store is very clean. Everything in its place. Everything marked with a price sign. I used the self check out. I think they did away with actual cashiers. So now they have cashiers standing there watching you do the job. So I scanned an item, had to ask for help. The gentleman did his thing with a code and whatever, and then scanned my item for me. Then he said I could also order food from the register and pick it up at the food court they have just beyond the self check out registers. As I finished with my items, sure enough, a screen popped up asking if I wanted to purchase a hot dog and other food items. I by passed that screen, paid with my card and printed my receipt. And I was on my way

I ordered a 72 inch round Carrera marble white table for our dining room on the first week of…read moreAugust. Delivery took two full weeks to arrive and when it did it was the wrong table top but the correct base. The delivery team packed everything up after giving me a phone number to call and send photos of the error. They also immediately called a supervisor Sally who could care less to let her know about the mixup. The delivery guy asked me to speak with the supervisor and give her info while he put everything back on the delivery truck. When I spoke to Sally she said: " yeah yeah I get it, we sent you the wrong tabletop. If you stop talking to me and get off the phone I could get to ordering you the new one ". At this point we no longer had a dining room table since we were expecting to have ours that next day. When I saw that the truck was for sure arriving the next morning I got rid of our old table right then and there( habitat for humanity is where I take all good condition furniture BTW).I then call customer service with our claim number because I was told that they could give me a 5% discount for my troubles. I had heard from somebody else within the company a while back when I was in the store that I could actually ask for 15% if anything came in wrong and so I asked. Now I had to wait another two weeks which is a total of four weeks for them to rectify the situation. At this point another two weeks pass and the delivery team was back. September 1,2026 they brought the replacement table. Once again the guy opens the box and goes "damn not again". He comes over and says"you're not gonna believe this they sent the wrong table again". At this point, I thought he was joking, and I went and looked and sure enough it was definitely the wrong table. The issue is that the holes on the bottom of the table they kept sending me are for a different a round base and the base I got is X shaped so the screws that fasten the table to the base do not lineup. When I looked at the instructions to the table top they sent and the instructions to the base I walked them over to the delivery driver and asked him if he could please get another supervisor on the phone and show them a picture so they could actually have something to reference. The supervisor still thought that somehow I had been at fault and that I switched my bases or table tops mid order which is impossible. I reminded her it was the second time doing this, and that the first time she had been rude to me and dismissive and asked what her excuse was now. I told her it was in her best interest to actually write things down and listen to me so she didn't mess up a third time. Another thing to add is they don't leave the base even if it's the correct one, if the table top is wrong they take the table and the base every time. So this whole time we're sitting here thinking are we ever going to have a dining room table to eat on? It's like a recurring expensive nightmare. They could care less about how fast you're getting anything and told me that they were in the process of seriously looking over their SKU numbers to make sure it didn't happen a third time. This time they had a specialty team tending to my case. In other words I was going to wait a very long time. They told me they would give me 48 hours and call me back with a solution. This was September 1 after the second delivery incident . It is now September 3rd and I had to call them and remind them that they were supposed to call me. I was told they're still working on it and I'll probably have to wait another 48 hours for a response, not even the solution. This means 96 hours before they can even give me another two week shipping date! My new delivery date for the third delivery attempt is now September 22, 2026. Update:3rd delivery attempt on Sept.28 was the wrong item again! I contacted the email on the response to my review on Google and nobody responded back it's just to make them look like they care. What a joke! 3 failed delivery attempts and two full months with no dining table.
