It was quick. Delicious and cute! Staff was friendly and efficient. Prices were reasonable. Food was hot !

This place was so, so good! We stopped here for breakfast on a road trip throughout Oregon and this was one of our best meals on the trip. The place was packed, so that was a great initial sign. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated and our waitress was very prompt. I had the Dutch baby, which takes a bit longer to cook, but was well worth it! It was so filling and tasty and I would 100% order it again. My fiancée got a cherry crepe and bacon and they were also quite good. We would definitely come here again! read more

This is an old-fashioned pancake/breakfast place. Nothing fancy, but it does what it does well. My cottage cheese pancakes and my husband's buckwheat waffles were delicious. The bottomless coffee and prompt service round out the picture. Highly recommend! read more

This place never disappoints. There are other chains but I swear this is the best. My favorites are the green chili and cheese omelette, apple waffle (not pictured) and chocolate chip pancakes. The service is great. Parking can be a challenge and the wait can be long but it's worth it. This place is right in the heart of University of Oregon. read more

The Original Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I went there for branch with my wife on Monday while visiting Eugene and since we are regular customers at the Portland location we decided to try the Eugene location after being seated we waited 10 min till a server showed up when we started to order our regular we wanted the Apple pancakes and vegetarian omelet I was told that the oven is off and can't do apple or peach pancakes and no omelette and no Dutch baby so we decided on pumpkin waffle and pecan waffle they can as thin as a pancake the pumpkin one has nothing but a small ramekin of butter and the waffle did not test like pumpkin at all the pecan one also very thin waffle (if you want to call that a waffle) came with pecan pieces and dusted powder sugar we both ate them in two bites we left hungry for this overpriced thin waffles very bad experience I would review the Portland location with 5 stars but Eugene one no thank you read more

I was really excited to eat here, we had a big group and wanted to place a to-go order. I called right when they opened and asked to place a to-go order. The lady who answered said "oh we don't do that. We are done-in only" and hung up on me. Terrible service. read more

We tried the original pancake house today for breakfast, we were looking for a local breakfast joint and were so glad we decided to stop here. I ordered the pecan pancakes, my husband ordered the Hawaiian pineapple pancakes and a green Chile omelet. We also ordered some breakfast potatoes. Pecan Pancakes 10/10 so yummy Hawaiian Pancakes 10/10 Green Chile omelet 10/10 Breakfast Potatoes 3/10 "the Potatoes were ok, they could've been seasoned alittle more" read more

We love going to the Original Pancake House! There is something different about their pancakes, I believe they use a sourdough starter in their batter which makes them scrumptious. Services is great read more

Great pancakes! I don't like pancake very much but their pancakes are really soft and delicious! They have half order so we tried several flavors. Chocolate chip pancakes are our favorite! Mushroom omelette is served with creamy mushroom sauce which is awesome! Four stars because of the long waiting, slow service and pricey food. read more

The Original Pancake House - Chocolate chip pancake, coconut pancake, buttermilk pancake and mushroom omelette. All tastes great! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Early Sunday breakfast at the Original Pancake House was satisfactory but not fabulous. I'm a vegetarian and hoped for a non meat product to go along with eggs and pancakes. I give it a resounding meh! read more

Expect a wait on the weekends because this is right near campus and it's a Eugene classic! I recently had the Dutch Baby. It sort of reminds me of a thick crepe. It was decent just like all of their pancakes, but it isn't really worth a long wait for me. I also ordered their fruit bowl which once came with seasonal fruits and a generous helping of their delicious homemade whipped cream but now comes with a tiny dish of whipped cream. The only reason I order the fruit bowl is for the whipped cream! It certainly is not for the under-ripe strawberries and sliced bananas. This seriously used to be the highlight of coming here for me, and now I have no motivation to come back. This may seem like an attention-seeking overreaction, but I'm actually serious. It was the only thing that I truly loved here. read more

The Original Pancake House - Dutch Baby - it's alright. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Had a very good Nutella crepe for breakfast (with banana on top). The coffee was decent if unremarkable, and the waitress efficient and friendly. My sister enjoyed her pancakes & sausage too. There was no wait to be seated at 9:30 on a Thursday. The restaurant is right at the edge of the University of Oregon and this morning it was chock-full-'o-students in here. The waitress was wearing an Oregon Football T-shirt, and the walls are covered in campus athletic memorabilia so I think that's a common occurrence. Good alternative to a hotel breakfast, and walkable for us. read more

Right away this place had great social distancing and had signs for clean/ sanitized table areas. Everyone was wearing a mask. We got our food fast and it was delicious. My husband got eggs, pancake and bacon.. there was so much bacon, and it was big and perfectly crispy. I got the crepes and they were delicious. Serving size was big enough for me to bring home to enjoy later! read more

The Original Pancake House - Nutella Crepes , Full Order ( 3 Crepes ) with added strawberries and bananas - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

OH THE BAKED APPLE PANCAKE!!! I've been waiting for about a decade to have this and it did not disappoint! THANK YOU. The 49'ers were great too. The OJ was terrible as was the coffee but maybe to be expected? Thank you as well for having real maple syrup; I do not mind paying for it! Your whip cream is also better than most as it doesn't seem to be mostly air. Ambience was very basic and it smelled like bleach when we arrived as it just opened but at least it seemed clean. read more

We've been coming here for 50 years. Always get the apple pancake. The best!!! You can call in. Bd order it ahead. So many wonderful pancakes, plus other great breakfast options. read more

Wow. I am very sad I hadn't tried this place earlier. Everything was great from the orange juice all the way to the ketchup. First thing to mention was the service. The nicest lady was our server, and she was QUICK and efficient. The food was also out pretty quick. Now on to the food. FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE that was super good. Huge menu with lots and lots of options. Great prices. All the food was great. Home fries, pumpkin pancakes, great bacon. And they had my FAVORITE ketchup (Portland company ketchup). I am looking forward to going back and trying their famous Dutch baby. Definitely one of my new favorite breakfast spots in Eugene. read more

Growing up in Salem with the owners of the Original Pancake House made their Salem, Eugene and Portland restaurants an old favorite standby. Breakfast today brought back fond memories but recent menu price increases were very evident. The food and service was good, as usual, but with a moderate crowd the blueberry waffle was less then hot as the butter wouldn't melt and the very tasty Special sausage paddy was a little over done. Nevertheless always filling and tasty with great Duck memories on the walls. read more

The handful of times I've visited this location it's been hit or miss. I'm a bit disappointed by my food today. I tried the biscuits and gravy that are newer to the menu, and they weren't really my cup of tea. Gravy was slightly more on the watery side versus thick, and is mildly spicy which was not what I was expecting. I'm not sure if a spicy sausage was used or if there was a ton of pepper in there...? I wouldn't call it bad, but I personally don't like anything spicy at all and it was not noted on the menu that it was. I also ordered the chocolate chip pancakes which were good, but I was bummed out by the fact that the chocolate chips weren't actually in the pancake, they just poured them over the top of plain pancakes and forgot the powdered sugar dusting. Overall, the Original Pancake House is ok, just not a go-to place like Glenwood is for me. read more

You can't be near the university and not try this place. It's local and students all over eat here. If you want one of the dishes that take longer to prepare order it right away! read more

The pancakes were undercooked as were the eggs. The wait staff are mostly no longer the kind, friendly women that used to staff the place. Been going there for more than twenty years. Never had a bad experience until now. Something is not working there as it used to. Last few times there's been increasing change in quality of food and service. read more

Very disappointed with the quality of Apple Pancakes and French crepes. The Apple Pancakes are not even appealing to taste. The French crepes was wrapped with strawberry jams. No fresh strawberry and whipping cream at all. read more

This is a typical pancake house with cheap flour and gross meats. The staff is always quick and friendly, but the food is just not good. I've stopped going here because the quality is just so poor. Perfect for college students with little money, a hangover and low expectations. read more

This place is a household name! You may have a bit of a wait, but it's worth it. The service is great and I love the diner atmosphere. There's plenty of parking too. The food is good, they will make it how you want it and it comes hot and fresh! I come here for breakfast at least once each time I am in town (once or twice a year). It's great for kids! read more

Great service, yummy pancakes, in a simple restaurant. We took the kids on a recent trip to Eugene.

If you ever come visit Eugene, please stop at the original pancake house. This is a must stop if you want amazing breakfast. My goal is to try everything on the menu by the end of 2020 that's how good it is read more

Just want to add - their sausage is very high quality, from Long's meat market (local butcher). Highly recommend.

The server said there could only be one to go order per person. It doesn't make any sense when they serve 3 person tables? The server said it also condescendingly which made the whole experience confusing. Unfortunate experience because the reviews seemed so good! read more

Spectacular is no exaggeration! Omelettes, pancakes, bacon and coffee all exceeded our expectation! Move in week is an emotionally charged time! Emotions are high. Our breakfast on the last day in town was spectacular! Half of an omelette went to a new U of O Juniors apartment for future consumption. Blueberry compote was awesome! Highly recommended on all counts! read more

Very poor Business, they don't believe in Customer service. I drove 45 minutes to get to the restaurant to eat. They advertise close at 2 pm. I arrived at the restaurant at 1:45 pm. The place is open, many people still eating, The owner said we will no longer be serving today. I said you close at 2 pm, the owner was rude, saying we are closing early today. Not a good place to go. read more

I loved the is place! I've been wanting to try it since the first time I visited Eugene about two years ago but haven't had the chance. I finally made it! The helpings are generous. The food is tasty. I wanted a veggie omelet but didn't have the time to wait so the very nice server suggested I turn it into a scramble! Presto-it was perfect! My daughter had the eggs Benedict. Delish. Not fancy, just perfect. Fluffy sauce and perfectly done. The restaurant itself has UO duck athletic paraphernalia and is light and clean. I will return. read more

It's always delicious. They truly make the best pancakes I've ever had. The staff is attentive and friendly. The service is quick. The food comes straight from the kitchen to the table in no time flat. read more

Very full house. I ordered pretty simple. Service friendly and fast. However, it was somewhat pricier than the other place I had been in the past in Eugene. Went here by mistake when I thought I was going to the other! read more

This place never disappoints, I have ate in Chicago and Indianapolis and the food is always consistent and very good. The service was amazing, best in Eugene. You cannot go wrong with this place for breakfast. read more

Come here a lot and they never disappoint! I always order the Dutch baby and though it takes longer to cook it's always worth the wait. It's soft in the center, and crunchy on the edges so it's a great combination. Very delicious customer service is also great! read more

The Original Pancake House - Dutch Baby - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This place while the food might be good, the customer service sucks. Sign inside says 'wait outside or in your car and we will call you'. We were told 15 a 20 minutes. 30 min later I walked in and asked how much longer. Our party of 5 was 6 feet from the door and the staff claims that they had called our name. Even the people on the bench next to the door did not see nor hear them come outside. If we were in our car, we would never have known that they called our name. I totally get the stresses of Covid in the food business as I own a restaurant. Sorry but I doubt I will be returning. read more

You really can't go wrong with The Original Pancake House. The only downside to this place is how busy it can get. We are early risers so we arrived shortly after they opened. I had bacon, eggs and hash browns while my wife ordered the full stack of banana pancakes. The service was good and the restaurant was clean. Thanks for a great meal in Eugene! read more

Happy with our breakfast, but nothing to write home about. Definitely would eat her again, maybe will try out something else. This time I ordered the coconut pancakes. Eggs and taters were yummy. Tried their cottage cheese pancakes and did prefer them to the regular ones. read more

They fry everything in peanut oil and the cross contamination is a nightmare. And the staff are rude and condescending towards the people waiting. read more

My husband kept reminding me we needed to eat here for what seemed like months, until we finally made it. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks. I was impressed. It's bright, airy, and not at all cramped. It's also very clean. Which I always appreciate. The food is good. I had diced ham and scrambled eggs. I think my husband had bacon, eggs, and pancakes. His bacon was cooked perfectly, the pancake was fluffy. My eggs were scrambled perfectly. Everything was done to order, cooked correctly, and served fresh and hot. The service was on point as well. The waitress was an older woman, and she clearly had experience. She was friendly, smiled, checked on us at the correct intervals, without being annoying or ignoring us. The restaurant clearly gets busy, as there was a line waiting when we left. Parking is tricky, as it's a small lot for the business they do. Will I return? Absolutely! They serve a great breakfast in a clean restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. read more

Haven't been here for quite a while as always so busy.. but, arrive early before students get out of bed and no waiting, prompt seating. My Swedish pancakes were excellent and I might suggest you order a free side of Maple Syrup to go along with the excellent fruit jam. Very filling and wonderful texture and flavor. My friend had Eggs Benedict and the flavor was good but the sauce was too runny to be categorized as "great".. but we'll be back. read more
