Excellent breakfast joint. Seems to be busy at all times, which is generally a good sign! It was packed but easy to navigate and didn't feel overly loud. I really enjoyed my chipotle Benedict and side of bacon! I was very impressed by the flavors. Please try them out if you're in the area! read more

We came in on a Sunday....Mother's Day no less, and thanks to their waitlist, we got in and out quickly. We were coming from an appointment in Edina and assumed we'd be waiting for a while, but that wasn't the case at all. We walked in, I ran to the restroom, and they were already ready for us. The Edina location does feel a bit tight, I'm not sure why, but I would definitely recommend using the waitlist during peak times or you'll likely be waiting (there are several benches available to hang out on if you are waiting). The sourdough French toast is always my go-to, especially paired with their bacon. I should have gone with the short stack this time. That bacon is so good. I'm not sure were they get it from, but I'm a fan. Our food came out really fast. We were in and out in about 35 minutes. Typically, OPH is a five star experience, and based on the food alone, it absolutely still is. For me, the service fell a bit short this time. Both our server and others seemed a little off. For example, as we were leaving, I paused to let a server finish dropping off food at a nearby table. It was taking a bit, so I carefully moved past, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. She turned and almost ran right into me, and the look I got in return just felt off. That said, it was Mother's Day, so giving some grace. Just not quite the usual experience. read more

Classic breakfast place. Delicious food. Great service and a cozy seating. Came here on a Friday morning and it was completely packed. Locals know it's a great place. read more

Staff was so friendly and kind!! Brought everything we needed and kept our water glasses filled. Coconut pancakes were perfectly fluffy and sweet. Potato pancakes were savory and they provided plenty of sour cream. Home indoors, many tables and food comes out quick. Good for groups. read more

Haven't been here in a few years but still had a great experience. The decor is 20th century old fashioned. The service was friendly. We waited less than 5 minutes for a table for 2. Everything tasted home made. I really appreciated the maple syrup with our pancakes and French toast. Definitely will be back. read more

This restaurant is so good for breakfast. They have delicious gluten free options including many flavors of pancakes and waffles! Large parking lot. Pro tip- put yourself on the waiting list before coming in for a much quicker wait. Service is always fast and friendly. My nephews loved the hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream. The black coffee is surprisingly really good instead of typical diner coffee. read more

Average breakfast. But excellent hash brown! Big selection , good service! Very good coffee

This is a charming, old fashioned place. The decor is like Grandma's house! Our server was very kind and efficient. Our food came out quickly and was delicious!! The portions were large and I enjoyed my leftovers. The only pitfall was that is was freezing cold in the restaurant. read more

The Original Pancake House - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

I came in to have a gluten free pancake ordered a short stack, which was three, pleasantly surprised. One was darker so I kind of pushed it aside. I cut up the others but they were so dry half of them soaked up the small container of syrup. Not that it mattered they were the worst pancakes I have every had. I didn't even get through 1/4 of them. When the waitress came she saw me reaching for my wallet and stuck her had out to just grab my credit card. Said "box?" I said no thank you. She grabbed everything at table and took it and zero questions. Wouldn't that be a clue if most of the meal was on the plate to ask. I will not be back! Bonus I got to listen the the manager firmly displining a younger gentleman about a black stapler. Is this office space, crazy horrible. read more

It's not cheap it's pricey, but there's something on the menu to please everybody whether you're a vegan a vegetarian or a meat eater. The German potato pancakes are to die for and their corn beef hash is wonderful and their blueberry pancakes are good everything there is excellent. read more

On Thursday, October 15, 2026, we ate at the Original Pancake House in Edina, Minnesota. It was the first time I did not bring any of my meal home, and I left feeling hungry. One person in my party had ordered the pumpkin pancakes, and he said they tasted like regular pancakes. The size of the pancakes was significantly smaller and no butter was served with our pancakes. The prices were the same, but the portions were significantly smaller. read more

Love the pancakes here! - My go to are the 49ers and Chocolate Chip Pancakes! Located in a plaza with plenty of parking spots. Service can be a little slow sometimes but the staff is always friendly. Decor and furniture (the side of the booth I sat on during my visit yesterday on a large crack on it with duck tape over it) can use some improvements. read more

Great breakfast spot in the area! I recommend joining the waitlist online before you arrive since they don't take reservations and wait times can get long. I had a peppermint hot chocolate--WOW! Nothing over the top, but honestly one of the best I've had this season. Breakfast was solid, and I love that they can make any of their specialty pancakes gluten-free upon request. Definitely worth a visit for a satisfying start to your day! read more

The Original Pancake House - Eggs and Bacon with Hash-browns (Cinnamon Roll GF Pancakes- not pictured) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Came here with my family and had an amazing brunch. The service provided was great and there was no wait for a table on a Wednesday, yet it was still a good amount of people dinning. I see why there is a wait-list on the weekends. Really enjoyed the blueberry pancakes and the kids meal portions are regular portion sized so plenty of leftovers for my little one to enjoy! read more

If you are coming during peak hours, you may want to make a reservation, otherwise there is a waiting area which offers people watching. The menu is very easy to read. I ordered french toast, eggs and sausage. They gave a generous portion. I took the rest for left overs. Parking here is a breeze. They have a big lot read more

My husband and I went to The Original Pancake House on a Tuesday morning. Even at mid-morning this place was packed. As we left the entire front lobby was full of people waiting for tables. Always take this type of popularity as a sign of good things to come. I ordered the garden omelet (Broccoli, mushrooms, green peppers, tomatoes and onions with cheddar cheese) and a side of pancakes and my husband ordered the fresh berry waffle (topped with fresh seasonal berries and whipped cream and berry syrup). My omelet and pancakes were fantastic. My husband's waffle came with more fruit than I've ever seen before. This was a terrific experience all around. I highly recommend The Original Pancake House! read more

The food is always good. I've tried two different locations and found the food to be consistent across them both. The service is some times hit or miss but that is part of the human element. The service is usually good. I have had some issues with the seating when it's busy and there is a call ahead list. But that might be the chaos of busy times. The ambiance is not something I've noted. read more

This was my first stop in my mini midwest tour! What a great way to start the trip. The vibes were very cutie old diner, the food was delicious, and everything was super speedy! The only downside was how cramped it was, but that was just because everyone was frequenting this establishment! It's a tradition for my friend to bring her airport passengers here after their flight, and I'm so glad I got to reward myself with a fulfilling, yummy breakfast post red-eye. read more

- Our server refilled our coffee mugs frequently (i think it helped we were right next to the entrance to the kitchen.) - We got there right after they opened mid-week and there wasn't a wait but it started to fill up as we were leaving, it seemed like there were lots of regulars and senior citizens - we've been later in the morning and it's been packed with huge families. - An impressive variety of pancakes (with the option of a short stack!) and other breakfast foods and meats (ie pork, turkey, and chicken sausages both patties and links; thick cut bacon; corned beef hash.) - The parking lot isn't the biggest especially considering everything else in the strip mall. - The potato pancakes are pretty unique - very finely minced potatoes, not shredded like in latkes - cooked perfectly, so soft and crispy/lacy, would order again. read more

I've been to 10 separate oph franchises by far this was worse. Food was a 5, with the exception I didn't get the egg whites I asked for. But service severely lacked. Ordered water and coffee, got the water. Had to order the coffee again (actually timed). Never got a refill which is on par. At the end of the meal she took the plates and asked if I wanted a refill. 5 minutes later she came back snd asked if I wanted a refill. Evidently the universe did not want me to have more coffee. Again food was a 5. Service a 1. read more

Bacon!! Best in the game. Other then the long wait times this place is #1 for a family breaky gathering

The only palce i can get Corned beef hash, where they DONT use hash browns !! They use potatos not hashbrowns. Fantastic. Service great. Come early its very popular . read more

Fast service, called ahead to get name on the list. Food was great. Only thing we talked about was having more combinations French toast with something, eggs, bacon, or hash browns. Something to break up the sweetness. So instead of three French toast do two with one of the other options. read more

Awesome place for brunch! More than pancakes! My friends and I met here for brunch on a Friday. Short wait. One of us got pancakes, I had the half salad with soup and another the half sandwich with soup. Amazing food and service! After brunch we walked off the calories by just crossing over to the Galleria next door. What a lovely day! read more

The food and the service were exceptional. Never had to ask for another cup of coffee or a refill on beverages.

Wow! There was a little wait at the door, which now I know for next time to get a reservation because around noon it was still busy ! The parking lot is big so there are plenty of parking spaces. I was impressed by our server that had over 10 tables in his section and was still fast and efficient. I ordered the meat lovers omelet with pancakes and my buddy got the waffle. The food was very good. The places was clean and very welcoming. I will definitely be back soon! read more

The food is amazing! Every time I visit I have the apple/ pecan crepe. The wait time can be long so I suggest you call to get on the list. You can also get on the list online too. The staff are courteous but always on the move. That's a good thing cause you get your food fast. Love the way the restaurant is decorated. The Tiffany lights are gorgeous. The omelets are gigantic, I think made with 4 eggs. Their menu is large with lots of choices. read more

This is an update from a prior review- The food has always been and continues to be good, tasty, probably because the ingredients they use have always seemed to be high quality. (Other than watching the prices climb over the years like other venues) the food has always been EXCELLENT!! The service (other than one particular server who has been long gone for probably 8 years) is and has always been EXCELLENT! As almost always, if one wants to get a seat, get there early. The place is loved by many who are loyal customers! ---- During COVID they had a tent set up, outside and the food and service continued as usual continuing to be EXCELLENT! ---- Other notes: Gone through about a dozen "regular" servers over the years - several others here and there, but can recall about 6 regular servers.. (must be a good place to work too!) the servers are generally EXCELLENT. - Been coming to OPH Edina since the 80's when "My Pie" was around.... Now over 40 years for us. (Now almost 1,300 visits) read more

2024 Update: In the heart of Edina by Southdale, this OPH offers countless traditional breakfast favorites, excellent coffee and tons of pancake options. Unfortunately, service is incredibly slow. Expect to wait at least 15-20 minutes after being seated for your server to arrive. Have your order ready otherwise you'll be waiting another 30 minutes for them to come back. Food is fine but decidedly average. The wood paneling decor is charming, but on closer inspection is dirty and dusty. read more

A lot of beautiful built in wooden furniture and trim, a nice cozy fireplace and beautiful chandelier, with floral wallpaper. read more

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed this place until now. I have eaten here countless times but for some reason never posted my impression. What can I add to the many previous reviews and the number of assigned stars? I feel as though most everything has been thoroughly covered but nevertheless here goes nothin'. I really enjoy the thin, gooey 49er flapjacks. The standard buttermilk or blueberry pancakes are pretty tasty. When I was on a bit of a health kick I thought the oatmeal (with raisins) and the sliced bananas (with cream and brown sugar) were excellent (though hardly austere) options. The corned beef hash is delicious. The omelettes are very good. But my go to breakfast has to be the thick sliced bacon with over-easy eggs and a side of rosti (swiss-style golden hashed browns made with butter and a touch of onion). I prefer to place the eggs atop the rosti and let the yolk flow into the potatoes creating an extremely flavorful (if not particularly attractive) mess. I usually add some sourdough toast generously spreading the slices with strawberry preserves but will occasionally choose the side pancakes (and extra syrup) asking that the cakes be brought out after I've consumed the rosti/eggs combo and most of the bacon. FYI: I find that the delay results in fresher, warmer pancakes. If you haven't already guessed, the toast or short stack serve essentially as (breakfast?) dessert. The staff has been prompt, professional and courteous. The coffee is strong and great (offered free while you wait). And wait you might unless you come very early or at a rare lull. Noise levels can interfere with communication (especially in certain parts of the restaurant). Parking is free but the lot can become awfully full making closer in spaces a dicey proposition. The only quibbles have been regarding the menu and pricing. There has been some confusion over the cost of certain things and exactly what accompanies the various choices. I have left only to discover that I was charged for items that were free sides according to the menu. Maybe the wait person was unfamiliar with the extensive menu. Honestly on those (thankfully rare) occasions I felt ripped off. But the high quality food caused me to overlook the faux pa and hasn't prevented a return. However one might want to review the check before paying. I have no reason to suspect anything malicious. Still, better safe than sorry (or something to that effect;-). Don't be discouraged by having to add your party to a fairly lengthy list. If you have the option to wait then I think this establishment will be well worth your time. read more

Been coming here for years with my whole family the food is always delicious it is usually really busy on weekends and in the mornings and the waiting room is pretty small and it's usually very crowded and loud but the food is definitely worth it read more

Everyone seems to rave about this place so I had to go check it out. I got their pigs in a blanket, coffee, and a side of hash browns. The coffee was...unfortunately...not good. My coffee tasted very burnt, to the point where I decided to not bother drinking it because it was so bitter. I just got their plain drip, and maybe I got a burnt pot...unsure. But I was disappointed regarding that. I love good coffee with my breakfast. The pigs in a blanket were very yummy. Super filling. The pancakes were delicious, very sweet and flavorful!! It's hard to find genuinely good pancakes that have flavor (in my opinion). I usually go for savory breakfast options because I've so often found this to be the case. But luckily, these pancakes defeated the odds. The best part about the meal BY FAR was their hash browns. Oh my GOD. Incredible. Show stopping. I think about them all the time. I am a sucker for potatoes and this place KNOWS how to make a killer hash. I'd come back and just have the hash browns honestly. You get SO MUCH good with every meal, so I have a tonnnn of leftovers that sustained me for a few more meals (which I LOVE). read more

I don't eat a lot of pancakes because I try to stay low carb. That being said they have a pretty good selection of things you can get if you want to see a little carb and stay fairly healthy and high on protein. I got the veggie omelette with a side of fruit it was fairly light on the calories in high on protein. Very tasty veggie omelette nice and fluffy with lots of fresh vegetables. I also had their coffee which was better than I expected. This location seems fairly busy in the morning especially with business people and the service was quick and all the staff were super nice. read more

Meh food. Standard chain breakfast food ambiance. But the service was good. The staff hustle and deserve better pay than they get.

Alllll the stars! How have I not been to one of these yet?! Be warned: this Edina location is bumping on a weekend, so be prepared to wait a bit! But the food is soooo worth it. Here's what won me over: - Service was friendly, quick, professional, and she knew that menu by heart! - They have TONS of gluten-free options: pancakes, french toast, crepes, etc. - Their chocolate chip pancakes? UNREAL - They have Cry Baby Craigs available for hot sauce - So many inventive flavors and toppings! - The Dutch Baby and other unique pancakes really make them stand out - Lots of parking in the lot - Cozy decor inside with a fireplace and classic decor - I love that the "eggs and more" or "omelette" plates come with a short stack (3?!?) pancakes! Get a cheaper options from an incredible bang for your buck - Warm syrup - Endless coffee refills - This is peak diner vibes! Truly, what's not to love here? Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meal and we're already making plans to go back soon! read more
