    OJ
    Maddy K.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Great stop here again. The wait was less than they told us. Our server was friendly and attentive (brought water and coffee as needed). Food was hot and delicious.

    Sausage and Cheese omelet

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - The Original Pancake House

    Do they serve hash browns?

    No, the serve country potatoes

    Is there a waitlist or can you call ahead?

    Unfortunately there is nothing available over the phone. You have to physically come in and put your name on the waitlist. You can however call and ask how long the wait is.

    Can anyone tell me what brand of sharp/aged cheddar is used here? I love it and want to find it for myself.

    Do you guys have a volunteer service in the Brookfield location?

    Unfortunately we do not.
