My a/c stopped working yesterday. We decided to go to our favorite pancake house , stay cool and eat well. Brunch was delicious, however the a/c in the restaurant wasn't working properly so rather than staying cool we became totally uncomfortable. We asked our waitress to make it lower and she said we've had a problem with it etc etc etc. Knowing that they should gave informed us when we arrived, which they didn't. Needless to say, it wasn't a good day. The food, GREAT. The rest is the reason for 3 stars. read more

The pancakes were fine - They tasted a lot like box mix pancakes but that's what I make at home so I can't really judge! The service was very slow and it wasn't super busy so I'm not sure what happened there. I would probably try it once more to see if I just got a slightly off day. read more

. Review: Service? Five stars. Food? A tragic one. Imagine a diner that forgot to have a soul--that's this place. The only thing keeping the lights on was our server Vivian, who somehow managed to be warm, gracious, and attentive while basically running the whole floor solo. She deserves a standing ovation (and probably a raise). Now, the food... yikes. I almost never give two-star reviews, but this was rough. Pancakes that taste like baking soda, "banana chocolate chip" that really meant "sprinkled on top and hope you don't notice," and everything fried in oil so cheap it left its calling card in every bite. It's not that the meal was pricey--it's that it wasn't worth any price. Money down the drain. Sure, kids eat free here. But when even your toddler turns up their nose at pancakes, you know you've hit a new low. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. And if you're a restaurant owner reading this--hire Vivian immediately. She's the only thing this place has going for it. read more

Classic breakfast place. Over 55 menu varied and good. Service was ok. Some of the new trendy beakfast places are too loud.

Dirt and mold on near air vents. Asked manager if he's the manager, he said yes, i just pointed up so he could acknowledge the lack of care to cleaning the air vents and ceilings, he looks up really quick, turns his back does not say one word and walks straight back to the kitchen. I don't want nothing for free. Just trying to help all the patrons not have to breathe in mold but this guy could care less. Toilet #1 occupied, toilet # 2 has a broken lock. I had to go so i moved the garbage can in front to block the door for my privacy. I wonder how long the lock has been broken for. Maybe we should ask the manager with the white pony tail. Nice guy he is. read more

Service was great! First it took forever to get our food. Then it was the worst breakfast we've ever had. Ordered eggs Benedict, I couldn't eat most of it because it was full of broken egg shells, then we ordered hash browns- black burned is what we got. Sad experience! read more

Went for Mother's day since my wife loves their apple pancake, Apple Pancake, oven baked with fresh granny smith apples and a cinnamon glaze. Huge portion and she took half of it home. I ordered the Santa Fe Omelet, Western omelet with jalapenos, served with salsa. Comes with a choice of pancakes or toast. Just ok. I feel that it is overrated and over priced. read more

I enjoy the food and the atmosphere. I come every week and get my favorite strawberry pancakes with whip cream. April the server is very nice read more

Our waitress Jamie P. was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. All of the food was delicious! We ordered the crepes, 49er flap jacks, blueberry waffles, pumpkin pancakes & hashbrowns. Can't wait to go back! read more

I ordered the Shells, which are crepes rolled. The description says lemon with powdered sugar and it had neither. No flavor whatsoever!

The breakfast menu is extensive, and the food is served in a timely manner. It is the only place locally that I can order Swedish pancakes, which are like a crêpe. And they are made exactly like they should be. The servers are friendly and professional, and always explain the details of the various breakfast dishes and can customize your order. I have been fortunate to sit with April whenever I go there and she is extremely helpful and professional. In addition, the bus boy that works on the weekends when I go MICHEL is always helpful and ensure that my coffee cup is never empty. read more

My fav breakfast spot, family and friendly crew including mgr. Many friends both employees and customers.

49's da best. April da best fast convienient comfortable atmosphere am a steady at least once a week customer that looks for April and gets the service that we enjoy. A plus for pancake house. thank you Debbie H read more

I eat there several times a week and Viviana is always amazing! Fast, friendly and on top of her game always. Highly recommend! read more

Love OPH they actual know how to make pancakes right. Most places use biscquick which is an all purpose flower not pancake mix. Eggs are always cooked correctly not browned or overcooked basically the best breakfast place you can go to that's a chain. It's a breakfast place so ambience? No. But you can get a rude server once in a while, I shouldn't say rude. They're just not friendly. read more

My husband's gluten-free pancakes were good, but my "regular" blueberry pancakes were chewy and tough, and I was also disappointed that they don't offer a "short stack" option. In addition, it was freezing cold (I would say about 60 degrees) and it took quite a while to get our food. We won't go back. read more

Just and ok experience. Overpriced $ 19.00 for omelet, $7.00 for a burnt side of bacon. The service wasn't good . Always had to ask for more coffee . Never once came over to find out if we needed a refill. The omelets were to big and oven baked. The waitress didn't explain anything because if she did i would never have ordered it. I usually go to the one on Lyons and Glades rd. Much better and cheaper. Two people $ 54.00 without the tip. Ridiculous prices. This place will never see me again. Breakfast should never cost this much. It's a joke. read more

I love coming to the Pancake house during the week and getting the French Yoast and Bacon. Great meal and always prepared very well. April always has a smile and is so nice. Thank you so much for a great breakfast. read more

Waited a bit to get sat at a sticky table Thought it was weird they charge separate for hash browns and toast with ordering an omelette you'd think it would come with something.... Not a fan of the omelette! It was super dry and it didn't have much flavor. Pancakes were decent Hash browns were good But not going back read more

I loved the chocolate pancakes. Thanks Rich for your recommendation I hope to return next week.

We go to OPH for PANCAKES and CRAPES and for what it is that's fine It's not a 5 star restaurant! Unfortunately this location is CLOSING after this weekend December 17 2023 read more

We enjoy Perkins much more, very crowded and didn't like their Pancakes. Much more expensive and pancakes were not as fluffy and smaller portions. Will not be returning nor recommending. read more

The food, and service, was, for a breakfast/pancake house, excellent. If I had any complaint it would be that the food provided on my ordered omelet was way too plentiful. My Western Omelet was huge and delicious and came with 3 large pancakes served with what tasted like real maple syrup. I heartily recommend The Original Pancake House for your breakfast needs - I just wish its operating hours were longer. read more

What a joke. Truly the management staff here could not care less about its customers. Insanely long waits, open tables, backed up kitchens and the manager doesn't care. Instead of seating people and apologizing the manager said "make em wait". To be clear the time and date is December 29th at 1152. Waiting nearly 45 minutes for a table of 3 adults and 2 kids. Tons of open seats. If management is this careless with staffing and customer service you have to worry about his lack of attention in the kitchen. Stay far away. read more

I have been a loyal customer of THE ORIGINAL PANCAKE HOUSE for over 55 years. The OPH in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI is absolutely wonderful. Five stars all the way around. The franchise in Delray is absolutely terrible. The menu, quality and pricing is pretty poor. I don't know why?? If you have any expectations for this OPH make them pretty low. The Delay property is just another run of the mill pancake restaurant. Nothing special. The OPH in Grosse Pointe is and has been a wonderful treat. My personal recommendation: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY at this OPH!! read more

We passed by the other day and knew we had to try this when our daughter got into town. It was a great idea. We all wanted to try a few things and share them all. We knew we all wanted to try the Dutch baby (we forgot to tell them to bring out the other items first so they plan the meal around the DB 30 min timing - makes sense). We sampled those, Swedish pancakes ( we are all used to lighter versions ) these were cooked crispier with a different taste / texture then we have had before. We all liked them. We also got a simple Belgian waffle - it was cooked perfectly. I had my piece just the way I like it. Butter and whipped cream - no syrup. We had plenty left over for tomorrow! read more

I bring my autistic son here 2-3x per week. It's expensive and 30-min from home but one of only 2 places he will eat. The wait staff is delightful - couldn't be kinder or more accommodating. Occasionally, the chocolate chip pancakes are overcooked. Mostly we overlook it and he just doesn't eat them all. Recently, we alerted the staff of an overcooked order and asked they remake them, emphasizing that my son likes them soft and fluffy (usually what one expects out of pancakes anyway). After probably 10 more visits (ordering the same exact thing and being served by the same staff each time), again, the pancakes were overdone and actually crispy in some areas. We tried to pull those pieces out and he tried to eat as much as he could but I then (not wanting to throw away $14.50 again) told the staff that once again they were way overcooked. We asked if they could just remake two of the three, since he had eaten some. Clearly agitated, the manager immediately appeared with the plate in hand complaining that we had sent them back one other time and that if this were to happen again we should alert them right away because "now that (we) cut them up we can't give them to someone else." He was obviously very upset. I explained that my son didn't know until he started eating them and that we tried to just get past it. The manager still had not agreed to remake any, so I asked again if he could just remake two. He went on chastising on how wasteful this was and that we needed to specify when we ordered that we wanted them soft if we wanted to be able to continue to come and not have problems. It sounded like he was alluding to refusing to serve us. In disbelief, I asked him to clarify if he was implying that they would refuse to serve us in the future. I explained that my son has autism and a host of sensory issues and that it is hard for him to eat crispy, dried out food. I said that there was another restaurant in the area that went out of their way to try to accommodate him, knowing how challenging it is having this disorder and so many food restrictions. His response was that they (OPH) were a "private" restaurant and could refuse whoever they felt necessary. I am extremely offended and saddened that such a well-known, otherwise-friendly restaurant would treat a loyal, special needs person who regularly patronized them, with such disrespect, insensitivity and disregard. In my opinion, this is absolutely DISCRIMINATORY behavior. We now may be down to only one restaurant to ever eat at. read more

Usually come here once or twice a year when I'm in town visiting. Today was very substandard.Took 10+ minutes for the server to first wait on us. I got the sausage and eggs. My over medium eggs were overcooked and my toast was burnt. My companion's pumpkin pancakes weren't cooked all the way through. No better than the national breakfast chains. Not going back. read more

This is our new favorite!! We wish we had one of these where we live in central Florida! I had the eggs Benedict and my husband had a spinach crepe. Both were excellent. The hollandaise sauce is house made. It is wonderful! We both got the shredded hash browns!(crispy) and they were cooked perfectly. No greasiness! The crepe was especially good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Prices are good! We will be sure to visit again!!!! read more

Visited on a Monday. The place was clean and steadily busy. The waitress , was prompt. Food was good. Although the potatoes were cold. This often happens, why don't they heat them before serving them?‍ read more

The Original Pancake House - Scrambled eggs with pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

I have been coming to this location for over 10 years and always order the same thing! Ok first they have a machine which squeezes fresh orange juice to order. It starts the party in your mouth! I come specifically for the potato pancakes with applesauce and sour cream. They are thin with grated potato and slightly crispy from the grill. They are more like a Hanukkah latke but thinner. And every deli thinks a giant deep fried oversized hash brown is a potato pancake. Too greasy and heavy and no amount of applesauce and sour cream can save it! The service has always been good but avoid Sunday mornings unless you've got a lot of patience. read more

I don't go to The Original Pancake House often, but normally, when I do, it's with my Dad and the food is solid. On my recent excursion, I met up with him and my Stepmother for a little breakfast. I ordered the oven-baked ham & cheese omelet, which I was told by the waitress would take 20 minutes because it was a specialty item. I didn't think an ham & cheese omelet was a specialty item, but ok. Granted it didn't take 20 minutes for them to make that, but they should have waited to put in the orders for my Dad and Stepmom to coincide with serving mine. As a result, my Stepmom's waffle came out cold, and needed to be re-heated. The waitress seemed a little annoyed to do this, but she went ahead and got it heated. Additionally, I didn't like when she was refilling the coffee mugs, she leaned over to the point where her sleeve was practically touching where my side plate of pancakes were sitting on the table. Needless to say, I wasn't that pleased with the service, but my omelet was fluffy and scrumptious, so at least there's that. The side of buttermilk pancakes were pretty good -- the side I ate anyway. The omelet was probably the fluffiest and most satisfying I've had in a while. While the restaurant doesn't offer iced coffee per say, where they brew and have a pitcher chilled ready for serving, I still was able to order some where they took hot coffee and poured it in a cup of ice and added more so it would be cold. While it was cold, I wasn't fond of the coffee they brew. Granted, this is no the Breakers, so you can't expect anything great, but I found the coffee pretty watered down. Still got caffeinated after three or four glasses. They're located in a convenient spot on Federal just south of Linton Boulevard, and parking is plentiful on at least three sides of the building. If you don't get anything that's baked and will need "20-30 minutes", you should be in and out of there fairly easily with a full stomach. Even if they say it will be that long for one of the oven-baked orders, depending on the dish, it won't take as long as advertised unless they are slammed. While there was steady traffic on this particular Sunday, there weren't any delays. Anyway, if you are in the area and need a reliable breakfast fix, they will do. read more

They have changed so much. The butter is now just the same old stuff you can anywhere. They still have a huge staffing issue. They don't have enough people. They are OK considering being short staffed. The food still tastes good and the Apple pancake is still worth the wait. Long gone are the days when the little old lady use to walk around and refill coffee. read more

We had a great breakfast for three this morning with excellent service on top of that. We had our baby Godzilla with us and our server was very caring and understanding to make sure we were happy and comfortable. We ordered scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, and plenty of pancakes... everything was delicious! Our baby loved the blueberry pancakes and couldn't stop eating them. We will definitely be back again read more

This place used to be the elite of breakfast restaurants their recipes and quality was beyond excellent, what has happened ? it is simply terrible now, there are no words to describe how poorly these places are run today, if you remember it from a few years ago we couldn't wait to stop at The Original Pancake House, we would even drive 50 60 miles out of our way just to have breakfast there, never ever ever again, you would be better served going through the drive-thru of McDonald's, pathetic and sad. read more
