    Most important EVERYTHING is made from scratch and locally sourced, farm to table. Out of this world delicious!! Ordering the Florentine Benadict fresh tomato, spinach, and the best hollandaise sauce I've tasted. It comes with a side of french toast, made with fresh brioche brought it daily from a Baltimore bakery. Thick cut and the center tasted like creamy custard, paired with homemade strawberry syrup and fresh whipped cream. We also tried the Shrimp Skillet, fresh jumbo shrimp on potatoes with avocado, spinach, peppers and two eggs your way. There is a wide selection of all things delicious on the menu that will definitely have us coming back for more!! Our server Kate was awesome!! She made excellent and honest recommendations such as the Florentine Benedict hyping the up French toast as it deserves. OPH closes daily at 2:30 but you'll want to get there early, certain menu items are made to order and will be a 30 - 45 minute wait. They are also happy to accommodate large parties!

    Veggie omelette with egg whites

    Keeping in mind that this is a chain restaurant, the food is actually pretty good. The vegetables in the omelette were fresh as were the blueberries in the pancakes. The pancakes did have an odd flavor, maybe baking powder/baking soda, which is a shame because otherwise they would have been really good.

    Conveniently located at Westfield Annapolis Mall. A nice affordable and quick breakfast, then off shopping! Lol!

    I swung by last Thursday morning after hearing great things about this restaurant. It was very quiet inside with only about 4 other parties seated. It took a little bit for us to flag someone down to be seated. The interior has a rustic diner feel. It almost felt like there was construction needed in some parts of the inside. The ceiling is covered in exposed pipes and some of the decor felt dated. There were both booths and tables to choose from. It looked like there used to be a bar inside but was clearly no longer in use. Our server said almost no words. Despite being mildly unfriendly, she did take our orders quickly. After our food came out she never checked on us & we had to flag her down for the check. I got the eggs benedict, the English muffin was chewy & very hard to cut through. The hollandaise was a funky consistency but tasted great. I wish the poached egg was runny in the middle but both were overcooked. The pancakes were the highlight as they were light and fluffy. My friends chicken sandwich was standard.

    We recently attended for a friend's birthday for a hearty breakfast. Our server Johnny was amazing!! He had a beautiful spirit and was so patient with our table. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The portions are big for the price point. I was so full and did not eat again for the remainder of the day. I can't wait to return again.

    Came in on a gloomy Tuesday for some pancakes . A friend of mine had mentioned this place , so I figured I give it a try . Came in around noon and the place was empty, yet very clean. The smell of hot pancakes was every where . . I ordered the 2x2x3 meal (pancakes , eggs and sausage ) and it was just okay . The pancakes had a weird after taste to it that I couldn't quite out my finger on . My scrambled eggs could have been scrambled a tab bit harder and was sausage was great as is. Overall my food was just okay . My friend said his waffle was on point ! So basically the food was okay ( not bad nor great) . Our waitress was nice and attentive . I would come back just to try other items like their French toast

    I will say the service here was a highlight. Our server was very friendly, which made the experience bearable. The food was just okay, and there was just so much going on in the dining area. It was hard to enjoy. They don't take reservations, so be prepared for a wait if you come during peak hours. GLOWS: -Our server was great. GROWS: -Leaking ceiling was already a red flag at the front desk. -The french toast was not good at all. -The dining room was slightly uncomfortable. The way the booths were positioned and the space between the tables and chairs was odd. -There were lots of loud kids, lots of coughing , and overall I was just ready to go (not so much a restaurant issue, but it speaks to the crowd present)

    I ordered the "Pancake Works". Definitely no issue when it comes to portions sizes. The only thing I disliked were the Eggs. I like them scrambled, but they come out a little runny every time. The sweet tea is AMAZING! If you are from Baltimore and familiar with good bodega (carry out) sweet tea or half & half... it's THAT GOOD! The service is ok. Sometimes that waiter/waitress will forget about you. Other than that it's a cool spot. Better than IHOP or nasty Bob Evans.

    Cute mugs!

    This only happens to me: I walk in and I'm standing by the front door. This gorgeous woman is walking towards me. She smiles and says hi. I say, one please. I follow her and she was a customer! I start laughing, small talk happens and finally someone escorts me to a booth. Once I'm seated, it's go time. Coffee is poured and my order is placed. Pecan pancakes with sausage. While I'm waiting for my breakfast, The Original Pancake House looks like it needs a refreshing. Dark woods and an empty, dusty bar isn't very inviting. But it seems the place is jumpin' with lots of customers. My food comes to the table. I'm told there are two syrups, one is tropical fruit and the other is warm syrup. Put it all together and that was one tasty way to start my day. Warm, comfort food at its finest. The slogan is, pancakes as you like them. My breakfast was really good, I'm glad I stopped in. My lady friend? After she pays her bill she comes to my table and tells me have a nice day. Baltimore is a beautiful city

Tomato and burrata/mozarella, and prosciutto and melon. Delicious. 10/10. Prawns: so good, so flavorful, and I typically am not a shrimp/prawn girl. Skirt Steak: this was such a juicy and moist (sorry) steak. I don't like chimmichurri (cannot spell that omg) but it was good! The fries were also a winner. Moroccan Hen: this felt like a cookout bbq to be honest but in the best way. It's super flavorful, very smoky, and SO juicy. Drinks: watermelon marg, orange espresso cocktail, and I cannot remember the blue drinks name but all delicious. I fear this is my fav espresso martini to date. Dessserts: the Poe's nest and the Ruby & Emerald. Delicious. No notes.

My friend said I had to come here. We did. As soon as we stepped out of the Uber the adventure began. The building is so out dated but the entrance door held its charm. Neon lit Edgar portrait reading from a book his Annabel Lee. Complete with a bouquet of flowers. To the right more words of the writer surrounded with a few tables and chairs for those willing to chill in the cold. Inside was no different. Several crows, skulls everything you'd expect. And a well stocked bar. Many writings on the wall, articles, awards, etc all added to the vibe and theme. And of course dimly lit but you could still read the menu. We were guided to the back for our party of 5, in a corner away from everyone else. That made it easy for us to converse as we perused the menu exclaiming this and that of the dreadful names used and deathly ingredients mixed in. It definitely made it more appetizing. After working all day I was ready for a drink and settled on the To Isadore; gin, lavender syrup, lemon squeeze topped with segura cava. That hit the spot. Unfortunately, I had eaten quite a bit on this trip and forced myself to order the Chef Salad. Nothing more to say there. My wife, though, ordered the seafood lasagna. Never had that and it didn't sound like something I could get into. I was wrong. This is Baltimore. The seafood here is astounding. It was delicious and had to take a couple spoon fulls. My friend ordered the double beef patty burger. I was jealous until he offered me a bite. That was really good too, and juicy. If you're looking for an experience and are not too afraid you may want to visit Annabel's. I do recommend it and do insist coming after the sun has been well down.
