I'm shocked this place has only a 3.3 star average. I think it's one of the best local breakfast places I've ever had. The pancakes are delicous, made from scratch, and semi melt in your mouth. They're a good size too, as an athletic guy I can only eat 1-2 out of the 3 in one sitting. The eggs are freshly cracked on site and they give you LARGE eggs. The service is good. The kitchen forgot the 2 cheeses in my scrambled eggs and they quickly re-made the eggs. Prices are very reasonable too. read more

Comfort food at it's best! I love coming here. I usually go for the German Potato pancakes, and they are perfectly prepared and served with applesauce and sour cream. I can also get a half order so I don't waste food. I like that. There are items you have to wait 1/2 to cook. I pass on those. I also pass on 6 egg omelets...can anyone really eat 6 eggs at once? Not I. Service is great, coffee is Kona and bottomless. Prices are reasonable. Eat here...you can thank me later. read more

My FAVORITE breakfast place. If I could give it ten stars I would. Ordinarily I don't like eating alone but I feel comfortable here. The service is quick and they eventually start to remember you. The coffee is to die for. Hawaiian coffee, Kona blend I believe. You'll never be able to drink anything else. The food is fresh and hot. It's a relaxed atmosphere yet elegantly embellished with classical music in the background. This is by far my first choice and first recommendation for anyone looking for a meal in the AM. Hours vary into the early afternoon to close depending on the day. read more

Vistited on a busy Sunday around brunch time, but we're seated fairly quickly given the crowd size. Food was exceptional. Best breakfast that I've had in years. Service was great also. Highly recommend this location. read more

Pancakes were flavorless. Bacon was good, but nearly $8 for 4 pieces? Service less than desirable. Waitress never came to ask how everything was or see if we needed a coffee refill. This is our first and our last visit. read more

This is the best breakfast around! It is my absolute favorite place to eat. If there's a line to get in the door, do yourself a favor and patiently wait. You will absolutely be rewarded with delicious food. The ambiance is pretty standard restaurant layout, nothing flashy. read more

Food was so bland. No flavor to the omelet. In fact they may have forgotten the cheese. Very disappointing. I know it was only a mushroom omelet, but I expected more. Plus the table was sticky. Ugh read more

Blueberry cafe had 90 minute wait and hubby didnt want to wait so we came here. We waited an hour and neither of us were thrilled with our breakfast. Omelet was too big .. 6 egg and was nothing exceptional. I got the apple pancake which is similar to dutch baby but with apples and cinnamon. It takes about an hour to cook. Its large. Truthfully we decided we would rather have went elsewhere. This place is very expensive for breakfast. read more

First, service was decent. But... Sausage Pattie's were over cooked and had the consistency of jerky. I ordered eggs "over easy" but it was undercooked. I should have ordered over medium like my sister and hers was undercooked for her. There shouldn't be clear whites like that... it doesn't show in picture but the layer around yolk was running clear too... read more

Original Pancake House is not up to our Gatlinburg and Sanibel standards. While it is neat to have a pancake house in the south suburbs, we recommend management and servers take a field trip to Gatlinburg. and Sanibel. Original Pancake House is a favorite in the suburbs; and we are neutral on this small chain of pancake houses. Lots of parking, often crowded, small dining room; and very slow service... Well, this might mean Original Pancake House is very popular and priced right. Blueberry (Bellbrook) is a much better choice Meals are fine, service is slow, and Original Pancake House is here to stay. Pancakes, et al. Years ago we learned the delights pancake houses in Sanibel and Gatlinburg. Original Pancake House chain does a great business. Dining Three Star Service Three Star Ambience Three Star Original Pancake House is experiencing post- Covid difficulties; we are having patience as we hope this pancake house will soon exhibit higher standards. Always a high vibe ambience. Abundant parking. Caveat: Call for reservations, and specify dining area. The tariff is appropriate for the fare. read more

Always the best option around Dayton! Fresh and not expensive at all! One of my favorite restaurants

VERY Expensive (2 eggs and 5 little half dollar pancakes) worst excuse for pancakes I have ever had and way overpriced! Will not be going back! read more

Five stars! We had an incredible experience at The Original Pancake House in Centerville, Ohio. Our server, Melanie, was incredibly sweet, helpful, and so hardworking--she truly made our visit memorable. The coffee really hit the spot and paired perfectly with my scrambled eggs and bacon, which were cooked to perfection. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her eggs over medium with sausage, and she was just as impressed with the quality and flavor. I can't believe I hadn't written a review for them previously; hopefully, this one makes up for it! Thank you for the fantastic service and great food. We're already looking forward to coming back soon! read more

I have heard great things about this restaurant so decided to try it out when I was in Dayton. The place is lovely and clean. The wait staff were attentive and polite. I had sausage links and two over medium eggs with pancakes. I was with my husband and a friend. One had an omelette, delicious. The other had bacon and eggs, delicious. My eggs were worse than over easy and my sausages were burnt. My pancakes were delicious. I did not complain to the server as it's something I just don't do (most of the time) and it took so long to get our food in the first place that I did not want to wait for a replacement. Would I give them another shot? Probably? read more

I took a stab coming here on a Saturday morning as it's usually busy and I got lucky. I ate here several years back and didn't like their rude attitude and my food came out cold and burnt. I was hoping they changed so here I am. I waited for only 5 minutes and got sat in a booth. The place is clean as usual but the acoustics are always loud. I was quickly greeted by my waitress and she is super friendly. Poured me a coffee immediately and took my order. First of all, huge perks for having heavy cream for coffee creamer. My favorite and speaks volumes about the quality of this place. Secondly, the waitress was very communicative and jovial which is another perk in a restaurant. A good restaurant always has great staff that holds it up ( and good, high quality food). She kindly shared that the 6-egg veggie omelette may take a while but I was impressed with the wait. I got my usual cream of wheat (I know, sucker for an old fashioned hot cereal that tastes like my grandmothers) and that entertained me while I waited for the rest of the food. The food came out rather quickly after my hot cereal appetizer and I'm very impressed with the veggie omelette. It came out hot, chock full of veggies and cheese, and with a homemade salsa. Surprisingly, it comes with a side of pancakes. How generous. The pancakes are fresh and I can distinctly taste sourdough? I loved the flavor of the pancakes and only for a small fee, I upgraded to add fresh strawberries. That was an outstanding idea. The strawberries weee very fresh and sweet and that whipped cream was to die for. This place doesn't skimp on portions! I was fed well and my coffee cup never stayed empty. My waitress was very attentive. I had so much to take home as leftovers that the waitress quickly provided box and bag without asking. I'm impressed. You made me change my mind about this place and I'm happy I stopped on a whim. Keep up the great work, OG pancake house and kudos for my outstanding waitress. read more

Always a great place to eat. Very busy, so don't expect to be in and out in prime times like Sunday morning. The staff is always very helpful and a great variety of pancakes and crapes. Omelets are decently sized. read more

I ordered eggs fried done the yolk done, and not burnt. I got my eggs and the yoke was runny. I asked the waitress to take them back and have them redo them. 15 minutes later she brings them back and they were burn up. It was the worst breakfast vis I have ever had. I would be very reluctant about going back. The best breakfast restaurant is Cracker Barrel, hands-down read more

The Original Pancake House - This is what the eggs look like. I wouldn't serve that to my dog. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

The place was super busy at 9am on a Saturday morning. I had to wait 20 min. The place was loud. My server was exceptional and her recommendations were spot on. I got the Cherry Kijafa Crepes (single). The cherry had a decent amount of sweetness but the crepe was a bit sweet for me. But it was very good. I also got the Danish Garden (5/5) very very nice. Amazing flavor, fluffy like a pillow and had a nice bite to it. It's a must try item. The coffee was also good. Overall a great place, but be prepared to wait. read more

Went here for breakfast this morning. The staff was very friendly. The waitress was very outgoing and helpful. There was a lot to choose from on the menu. I just went with the scrambler. It was good. You get to choose up to 3 items to scramble with your eggs. Then you get pancakes or toast with your meal. Food good but I really did not taste the pepperjack cheese at all. The price for drinks was a little expensive. I think the tea was $3.19 and so was the coffee. I could have saved $6 if I just had water. read more

Over the years I think the pancake house has waxed and waned in quality. Recently we came and got pancakes and potatoes, it was just bang average. I also strongly recommend against the bacon pancakes, was basically under cooked chops of bacon throw on the pancakes. Service is good, ambiance is generally relatively busy. Wouldn't recommend if you have other options. read more

Love this place. I love breakfast food so this place is perfect for me. I love there food they serve. I like the servers too read more

Great food, great selection, great ambiance. Slightly more expensive but well worth it. Recommended.

Service here is always good. The menu for breakfast items is outstanding. And all items are very well prepared. Waffles are spectacular because they are fluffy. Crepes are also quite good. And someday I will order the Dutch Baby. Coffee is constantly poured, always hot and fresh. This is MY kind of breakfast restaurant. read more

A very good breakfast this morning. I love the omelets at the OPH but I love the "Dutch Baby" even more. Bummer, but only the omelet works on the keto diet and that's okay. The omelet was huge, well stuffed and delicious. I managed to eat the entire thing, probably because I skipped the toast and potatoes that don't work on the keto diet. So yummy. One complaint. There was a LOT of shouting between the staff. There's a prep area between the kitchen and the dining room. This is a restaurant, not a library. I don't expect silence but I would hope for "inside" voices. [Review 11463 overall, 1241 of 2019.] read more

This is my favorite place to go when I'm back in my hometown. The pancakes are so obviously delicious and fluffy. They have so many types of pancakes but the Almond Cinnamon French toast is SO SO GOOD (on cheat days ) and the Idaho potatoes are always delicious. I'm also a big fan of their crepes (also everything else on the menu). The staff is always so friendly and great about topping coffee off at all times. It is such a delicious breakfast place to bring family and friends, I'm never disappointed when I come here. read more

It was okay. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The service was good but there was nothing exceptional to write home about. A little on the greasy side for my taste. read more

This was delicious, but the portions are insane. Be prepared if you want apple pancakes or the Dutch baby to wait 25-45 minutes depending how busy they are. The service was excellent and they have fresh squeezed OJ. The apple pancakes was delicious and definitely worth the wait. Wished I lived in the area to enjoy this place more often. read more

This is the third or fourth Original Pancake House to which I have been. These places are generally pretty good breakfast spots with several hearty offerings to get the day started properly. This particulate location on Miamisburg-Centerville Rd., in one of the ubiquitous strip plazas on that boulevard, is conveniently located. The storefront is probably not sufficiently prominent as it was not as easy to spot as one might like, though it's far from the worst I've seen in that regard. The interior was typical of this chain as it was pleasant and well kept. The staff here were generally friendly and accommodating on the Sunday morning we patronized the shop. We were greeted and seated right away when we entered. Our server, Brittany, was prompt and pleasant and did a good job taking care of us. The menu had many tempting selections. I opted for the Egg and Salami Scramble and was happy enough with the taste, though the portion was a bit small. It came with toast, which helped a bit. My daughter had the Spinach and Feta Omelette and, by contrast, she had more than enough to take home. Her boyfriend had a single waffle, which was likewise good for him. My wife ordered a la carte and had two eggs and a Mandarin Orange Crepe, which she liked quite a lot. Our final bill with drinks, tax and tip was $60. At $15 each, this was a reasonable deal. I will probably opt for something next time with a bigger portion but, overall, this was a good choice for us for breakfast. read more

I love pancakes, so I always slept coming here. The different flavors of syrup was my favorite and I didn't have to get whipped cream or anything. I could get them the way that I like them. I appreciate their service and they always were kind and sweet to be taking care of me, and I went to eat. read more

I saw a raw piece come out of my egg and the banana crepé tastes amazing AND I love the service but please cook the eggs better

Average breakfast joint in a strip mall. Not the fastest or cheapest food but the service is friendly and the dining room is clean. The blueberry pancakes were very good, the bacon is decent, and the Idaho deluxe potatoes were flavorful but very greasy and didn't leave me feeling great. Overall, not a horrible place for breakfast if you have some time to spare but there are better options in the area that cost less. read more

I can't believe this is 2023 and this customer service is horrible. I've been here with American friends and didn't feel discriminated but come with Latin friends speak Spanish mostly and get the worse service. I ordered 2 omelette which were dry and unflavored and a blue berry waffle which was 6/10. But the service is what killed me. Waiter kept giving us the stink eye and took 4X as much time to bring us stuff compared to the other non Latin folk. Tables sat ate and left and we didn't get our food. I tried to get the managers attention but he seemed to busy to talk. I would never come back here read more
