This is the best breakfast in Brookfield / Waukesha by a long shot. We've been coming here for 20+ years, and the service is always top notch, the coffee hot, and the food amazing. There is not a bad choice on the menu. All of the omelette are delicious and huge! They whip them before cooking so they come out fluffy, just giants clouds of delicious. Their crepes are tasty, with savory and sweet options - highly recommend the cherries kijafa. Try the Dutch baby! It's delicious, but you have to squeeze that lemon wedge over it, trust me. Divine. But the pancakes - you name it, they have it. They have my personal favorite, the best potato pancakes around. They are simply potatoes, very light, no onions or else with them in the mix, and they serve them with applesauce or sour cream. I get both. They don't have a bad seat in the house; most of the tables are booths, which I love for breakfast seating. read more

First time visiting OPH and was very pleased with our breakfast. I left my choice up to our server between two different dishes. She chose the Apple Pancake and I was in awe when it was brought to the table. I've never taken a to-go box after my early morning meal, but it was humongous and so fresh. I actually had three meals out of it. The service was exceptional and the restaurant was very clean. read more

The Original Pancake House - Apple Pancake. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

I generally liked my food at Pancake House but 3 stars because I'm tired of getting served crappy potatoes. Over seasoned and greasy (are they grilled, maybe they are but seemed like ugg, deep fried). I'm seeing this more lately. Can anybody make decent potatoes anymore? I'm starting to call this out. Really Pancake House, are these the cheapest frozen potatoes you can buy? Sysco Foods least expensive? Does it really save you money? Consider changing vendors. Maybe it is just too difficult and time-consuming for your cooks dealing with REAL potatoes. How about making potatoes that taste like.... wait for it.... Potatoes! Little salt, pepper, grilled nicely. read more

I came here to meet a former business friend and associate for breakfast. I arrived early and was seated in a conspicuous spot to meet my friend. Eric, my server approached and asked it I wanted coffee, while bringing water and utensils. My friend showed up, he ordered coffee and we began to catch up with our lives. Eric came by a bit later and we ordered our food and off he went to get the kitchen staff stared on our choices. A short time later, our Mediterranean omelet and biscuits and gravy with eggs and each being a Coby three pancakes arrived. It was tasty and ample servings for each of us, with me taking the pancakes home to enjoy later . Eric was on top of things, refilling coffee and being pleasant and attentive. read more

This Original Pancake House is a well-oiled machine with awesome breakfast foods and veteran servers. I enjoyed a blueberry waffle, which was deliciously light and bursting with fresh blueberries. It was served with blueberry syrup and a huge dollop of real whipped cream. Heavenly! My dining partner was guided by our server to order a pancake and egg combo. She was so knowledgeable and patient. Our food was delivered in record time. Love this place! read more

Today's brunch adventure took us here. The place is very popular and there can be a bit of a wait. The food was Devine. My waffle has bits of apples stuffed inside and they gave me apple flavored syrup to top it with. The bacon is thick and crispy just like how I like it and my loaded potatoes were so filling I couldn't finish them all. The highlight was the apple pancake and it was humongous! That feed your whole table LOL. It as delicious it tasted like a Dutch apple pie. The service is fast and friendly. We didn't have to wait too long once we were situated. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical for a brunch spot on the weekends. read more

The Original Pancake House is one of my favorite go to breakfast places. I really appreciate that they utilize fresh ingredients such as fresh squeezed Oj and pancakes from scratch. They have such a cozy atmosphere and each time I've dined in, staff has been kind, attentive and efficient- especially on weekends when they get busy! If going on a weekend, i'd recommend getting there a tad earlier as wait times can get long, just fyi. My menu favorites include coffee, oj, bacon, and the fruit pancakes which are served with fresh whipped cream nanas, strawberries, and strawberry syrup. Would recommend, especially if you have a sweet tooth! Overall, I would recommend stopping here if you're looking for a fresh breakfast with a lot of menu variety! read more

The Original Pancake never disappoints. We arrived before 8am on this particular Saturday so we didn't have to wait for a table. If we have waited another hour, the wait would have been crazy. After we were seated, our server came quickly and brought us our drinks. The coffee is always delicious. I ordered the breakfast burrito. The chorizo packed some nice heat, which I really appreciated. The avocado spread offset the spicy chorizo perfectly, while the potatoes added the crunchy component the plate needed. It had been a few years since I had been here but I'm happy to see it's as reliable as ever. read more

This spot is one of my parents' favorites and they have unbeatable crepes. I've seen more GF options on the menu which is cool, but I'd love to see more dairy free options or dairy alternatives on the menu in the future. The service was great and it was a very neighborhood/locals kind of vibe inside. Always happy to grab brunch here when I visit. read more

So we went to the original pancake house last weekend in Cincinnati & definitely had to try it again this weekend. Let me just say, it was delicious & definitely made me search to see if they have some in my area too! (Which they do! have 3 locations in Indy! Nice!) Josh was the best server, he was hilarious & kept everything full & fresh! The place has a lot of booths, but does have some tables as well, we requested a table cause booths just aren't as comfortable for us & we waited a few minutes, but it was worth the wait! I got the apple pancake & it was good, but too big to eat it all. Which is a good thing, my friend got the corn beef hash, she said it was delicious! Definitely a great place to try! read more

The Original Pancake House - Apple pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

First visit with a party of five to this restaurant in 2026. Sunday morning for brunch, just a short wait of 15 minutes in a busy establishment. Service was quick, friendly and accommodating. We sat in a booth near the front door but didn't notice any drafts or crowding from waiting customers. We ordered a variety of dishes to include silver dollar pancakes, Dutch baby, Swedish pancakes, ham and cheese omelette, eggs with biscuits and gravy, stuffed crepes. Sides included orange juice, buttermilk pancakes and a fountain drink. All servings were served on china, with stainless silverware and cloth napkins. All servings came quickly, were hot and large, worth the price. Everyone enjoyed their food with only two comments for improvement, one being the biscuits were too thick for the amount of gravy served and the Dutch baby was a bit undercooked. Aluminum containers were provided for leftovers, which warmed up nicely. There are several pancake restaurants in the area, this one scores as one of the best. Our bill including tax and gratuity came to $127.15. read more

I've always been a big fan of OHOP, but this is one of my favorites and we always go to it whenever we visit Milwaukee. Love the old house vibe in the outside and inside and the service is always friendly and fast. Food is great and huge portions which makes up for the bill being more than I'm used to for breakfast. I nearly always get the French toast and the bacon is the best bacon you'll have at any breakfast place. My son ordered the potato pancakes and everyone loved them. read more

I had been a customer of The Original Pancake House locations across the country for decades, but likely not again. While the eggs were perfect and the thick bacon was tasty, those are the only accolades I can provide. The bacon appeared to have been cooked earlier and was served warm, not hot. I asked for the potatoes to be crispy; instead, they were merely very well done, oily, not crispy, and looked as though they had been sitting on the griddle for quite some time before being served. The orange juice was bottled and not worth the price. The coffee was warm, not hot, and the toast was so cold that the whipped butter would not even melt. The add-on biscuit gravy was tasty, but while it had been warmed, the pork pieces in it were cold. All fo $37. read more

This place is horrible from the out dated establishment to the nasty ass food!! The service is even more unprofessional. Once I informed my server of my experience she sent over the manager named Amy. Amy's approach was extremely nasty and uncalled for. Amy is the most ugliest unprofessional representation of her staff. This is my first and last time. I could have went to IHOP!! read more

Excellent experience. Our group of nine ordered a variety of sweet and savory including: pancakes, breakfast burritos, crepes, deluxe potatoes, and eggs. Eggs were prepared over easy as ordered, the bacon was perfectly cooked, and serving sizes were generous. The only negative was that the regular potatoes were bland and not crispy. The staff was patient and helpful as we inquired regarding food allergies. We were seated quickly and did not have to wait long to place or receive our orders. While the restaurant was relatively busy, we were able to converse comfortably. read more

Recommended, so a friend and I dropped in for breakfast July 25. Wasn't all we'd heard it would be. She ordered eggs over medium which looked like my over easy. Waitress ordered over medium again; still just as runny. So friend only had pancakes which she said weren't all that good. Waitress didn't charge for her meal. We were finished but just chatting when we were asked by our waitress to leave to free up her table! Have NEVER been asked to leave after being in a restaurant for an hour. We were not rude! And we still tipped on two meals. We have since found a perfect restaurant, great service, good pancakes, no rushing customers. Original Pancake House has seen better days...... read more

Food was okay, service was not. Mrs. Brenda had rude facial expressions, was only given one glass of water. Went the last 20 mins or so without anything to drink, pretty much was abandoned. At the same time had numerous tables surrounding us, it was definitely a stereotypical situation. She felt as if she wouldn't get tipped bc of who was all at our table(definitely a race thing) & we all work night shift so we weren't dressed up to the standard I guess , but in all reality she would've gotten a great tip if service would've been up to par! She didn't hear another person at the table ask her something so I said "he had a question as well" & she looked at me, curled her face up & said "what did you just say" just the snarkiest attitude. I don't believe I'll EVER spend money or recommend anyone here! read more

Food over the years has been very good however the lack of any call ahead services like many places have today does stop us from visiting.

Day off breakfast with the hubby. We used live in Madison and went to an Original Pancake house long ago. I recall the apple pancake was really good. We arrived shortly after 9:00 and was seated right away. Both the hostess and waitress were friendly. The menu wasn't too exciting. I ordered the Famous Bacon and Eggs when pancakes with over easy eggs. My husband ordered the Sausage and Cheese omelet. The food was your normal breakfast fare. The bacon and pancakes were good. My eggs were overcooked so the waitress was kind enough to have it remade. The omelet was a bit dry but nothing a sprinkle of hot sauce couldn't help. Overall it was fine and enjoyable breakfast. Personally at the price point, I recommend other places. read more

I've been a couple times with different people. The service was great and friendly, and the restaurant has a really cozy house/diner atmosphere. We went during a busy time, and there were plenty of benches and areas for the kids to play outside while we waited for about half an hour. The menu has some fun types of pancakes and toppings and all the breakfast classics. All the food was delicious, and it was fun to pick out some choices you don't always get at brunch places! Will be back. read more

Yesterday, Dec12. I had a very disappointing apple pancake . The Giant Apple pancake was soggy and had very few apples . Won't go back to that location. Maybe it's the chef?? Taylor Avenue in Winnipeg. read more

The coffee was hot and flavorful unlike a lot of breakfast places. We were seated right away on a Sunday morning at 8am. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant (dark hair, tall and glasses).

Everything was very tasty. Especially with fresh whipped cream and their lingonberries. I love to visit the Original Pancake House anytime I have a chance. Ever since my first visit to their original location in California, it's a must. This was the first time for my girlfriend so we wanted a few options. Overall service was quick and respective of others time. The price tag was a little high but that will happen with additional food. read more

This place is always packed and they have exceptional service. Omelettes are not traditional but oven baked so they have more of a frittata texture and browning on the outside. Bacon is thick and I love that they ask how you would like it: medium or crisp. The potatoes you can get loaded with cheese and other toppings or regular with the house seasoning. The seasoning is delicious but on this visit was a little too heavily applied for taste. There is a large menu with something for everyone here. Always a good stop. read more

Amazing service! Great food. Such a cute place. Fun history with the building as well-ask them when you go!

My kid loved the pancakes. The service was great. The wait to be seated was about 15 minutes, which felt like less due to the nice patio.

Our first time here. And the moment you entered the full parking lot you knew it was popular. We were seated quickly and asked if we would like coffee. Good coffee! We have dietary restrictions and our waitress was very understanding and accommodating. Food portions were LARGE and came out fast. Our waitress checked on us a number of times even bringing my 'doggie bag' to the check out when I forgot it! Prices were moderate, but with current food costs it's understandable. Nice atmosphere and a great family place. read more

Delicious food and a nice atmosphere for breakfast. Exceptional pancakes, excited to go back more!

I wouldn't have known it was such a large chain if not for another review mentioning it. This location seems to be in a converted house so it feels pretty homey and the food tastes so much better than I'd expect from something like IHOP. To be fair it's pricey comparatively but if you're looking for pancakes they've got it all! Pancakes, Crepes, Swedish Pancakes, Potato Pancakes, Etc. Wild portion sizes as well. They definitely seem to shine at the sweet and carb heavy breakfast but my eggs and potatoes were pretty good as well. They seem to use peanut oil just about everywhere and our waitress helped my wife narrow down an option she could have with her allergy, so that's a win for service. Bottom line -- I wouldn't hesitate to go back or try another location down the road. read more
