    French toast  Bacon and Eggs
    Queen E.

    The food was definitely photogenic and smelled delicious. Service was ok. Beyond that, I'll just say my toddler had no complaints about his pancakes. Make of that what you will.

    Info about their special bacon.

    2 large groups for brunch/lunch today and second group was a surprise so group one all shuffled to accommodate group 2. Service was a challenge for same reason but our waiter is given an A for effort...reserved room was so hot when we arrived at 11:00...finally started to cool down about 11:45... Food was ok...expensive but in-line w other Grapevine area restaurants. Very basic eggs and pancakes. Hard to serve food hot w 15-16 orders for each group at the same time. Would I recommend this place for another group meeting....nah. No Senior menu which was disappointing as our whole group was senior citizens. Average cost for 2 eggs, pancakes and bacon $18.00 and coffee was $4.00! Other areas w senior menus are more affordable.

    I love this place! It doesn't matter what I order - the food is always excellent. I met friends here for a post-Christmas weekend brunch, and was surprised that it wasn't super busy like on a typical Sunday with lines out the door. Our reservations were made through Yelp, and I was able to do a partial check in since the whole party wasn't here yet. Once assembled, we were seated quickly. The server was very prompt and attentive - no one's coffee cup was ever empty! I ordered one of the holiday specials: Cranberry Orange pancakes. They were delicious, although perhaps not quite as filling as a regular short stack of pancakes. The atmosphere is always pleasant and busy, but not do noisy as to interfere with a good conversation over brunch. This is a good, reliable breakfast restaurant with consistently good food, great service, and a nice family atmosphere.

    "Toasted" english muffins actually
    Elizabeth A.

    Location Northwest of DFW Parking Large open lot Atmosphere Homey, clean, dining room Service So very friendly! Ask for DeAndre!! Efficient and attentive. The couple at the next table were horrible -rude and nasty and the servers, managers were kind. Seating The host actually asked us where we wanted to sit!! How nice! Not by the entrance- by the window! Low top tables-great for groups. Menu Famous and awarded for pancakes! Omelette made with 4 eggs and baked. My husband says it was the best omelette ever. He had a huge bowl of grits with it. The "butter" was not real butter. The corned beef was fresh made-slices of diced onions throughout. I would've liked it more crispy but thats me-really juicy served with 2 medium eggs. I like the english muffins actually toasted but it skipped through and I wasn't complaining due to the drama at the next table-no jelly option. Iced tea was bottomless and really good. They are known fir the pancakes snd popovers. See menu pictures of apple snd popovers. The apple pancake was HUGE!! Enough for 4!!! Summary Historic and awarded winning pancake house. Outstanding service- great food. Gotta get the pancakes!!!

    Place looked a bit outdated. Server was friendly but did not come around enough to check on us. My hubbys food was a very small portion compared to the price we paid. My entree was actually kind of good. Tried their coffee and it was good as well. I would give it another chance.

    I have always loved any OPH I have been to so I had high hopes coming here for the first time. We arrived at 1020am on a Saturday and thankfully you can check in online via Yelp through Google to get in the wait line in advance. We were 13th when we left the hotel and 3rd in line when we pulled in. I got us checked in after parking and 5 minutes later we were up to be seated. Be sure to use this function if coming in on a busy weekend! We had drinks served fast and orders placed soon after. I got an item I had not seen on the menu before, the healthy lifestyle omelet with a side of 3 ancient grain hotcakes. My wife did the eggs and 2 sides (bacon and hotcakes) and my son did a breakfast burrito with bacon added and a side of hotcakes and potatoes. I crushed my meal and my wife and son nearly demolished theirs also. My only gripe was that the former buckwheat hotcakes were better than the new ancient grain cakes. I usually get those but the server said the recipe changed and they were not as good as before. The ancient grain cakes tasted like any ordinary whole wheat hotcake, still good yes but not amazing. I love how they whip the eggs for the omelets making them light and airy and larger than normal omelets. Great services, quick service, tasty food, good prices, smart check-in process to avoid wait times, all round good experience at another OPH!

    Rainy weekday lunch time was not busy at all with about 5 groups. And I saw only 2 or 3 servers. I took about 5 minutes till they noticed we are waiting for seats. Well food was decent as expected. We came here for Dutch baby!

    Migas

    We came in for a Sunday brunch! It's Always busy but they have waiting area and waiting time is not too long! Coffee is strong and really good! Last time I ordered their omelette and it wasn't my favorite but today I tried Migas MAAAN it was really delicious! Definitely recommend it to someone who loves eggs in their breakfast! Servers are very friendly and kind!

    Ordered delivery. I really just wanted some bacon steak, but it costs just as much by itself as it does buying it with the combo. So, I ended up getting the bacon steak and eggs combo with the pancakes.

    Dutch baby with Berrys and sweet mascarpone
    Warner Kimo S.

    Oh my just a short wait and years since we had been to one. The special Dutch baby special was amazing. With mascarpone and Berrys. Coffee is great the thick bacon or other sides are always the best. Service fine and refills twice. Others rave.

Other than that, everything was great. One thing I really appreciated was how quickly the food came out and nobody likes waiting forever when they're hungry! My friend ordered pancakes along with another breakfast item, and she enjoyed her meal as well. Overall, it was a nice brunch spot with great service, good food, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out.

Because the food is so worth it, you can't find freshness and quality like this anywhere. I will start with the CONS: Food took forever to come out. When it finally arrived we didn't have silverware or drinks. No one came to check on us so we waited and our food got cold. A different server came to check on our drinks and realized we had none and also we had no silverware. She soon brought those out. I asked for salsa, and they brought enough for me, but my husband also had a meal that would typically go with salsa and they didn't bring him any so I had to ration it. We had to remind them we were still waiting on another meal for our kids and that one took even longer to come out. PROS: the staff was welcoming, they were very nice, the atmosphere was very cozy and the music was fun and not too loud unlike most places. The fresh squeezed orange juice was very good as was the agua de jamaica (hibiscus tea) both were the perfect amount of sweetness. I ordered the birria tacos given it is the winter and a cup of warm broth was calling my heart. The birria tacos are actually not birria, they are just steak tacos fried with cheese. Honestly I do not care because the steak was absolutely perfect, not over cooked, and the cheese had an impressive pull. The accompanying broth was topped with plenty of onions and cilantro but was very flavorful I want to inject it in my veins. I keep having flashbacks of me dipping the tacos in the broth. I'm salivating just thinking about it. We also ordered a Belgian waffle topped with fresh strawberries and powered sugar for the table as a dessert and it was the perfect plate to end the meal. This may be our go to Sunday brunch from now on. Glad to have found a place that doesn't taste like Cisco food.

I initially gave this place 5 stars, but after returning recently for the first time in a long while, the experience was extremely disappointing. We came in, got seated, and a guy named Omar handed us the menus. I asked if we could get two hot waters with lemon, and in a very dismissive tone he replied, "Anna will get that," then just walked away. We then saw Anna walk past our empty table three or four times before finally coming over with two glasses of cold water, which we never asked for. I told her we would've requested hot water with lemon, but she barely even acknowledged us. She took the cold water away, turned around, and later came back simply setting the hot water down without a word. When we were looking at the menu, my husband asked what the side options were. She replied in an annoyed tone, "It's right there," while pointing at the menu. My husband then asked if she could just tell us, which she eventually did. From start to finish, there was no smile, no pleasantries, no sense that she even wanted to serve us. Mind you, this was 9 AM on a Monday, and there were only three occupied tables in the restaurant, including ours. When the food arrived, one of the plates had dirt, a dead bug, or something similar on it. We pointed it out, and instead of apologizing, she took the plate away, came back, denied it was a bug, and still seemed visibly irritated. Later, I asked for extra napkins. She returned and aggressively dropped them on the edge of the table without even looking at us before walking away. Throughout the entire meal, she passed by our table several more times and never once checked on us. We left feeling dismayed, disappointed, and honestly feeling like the service did not deserve a tip--so we didn't. This used to be one of our go-to spots after church on Sundays, but unfortunately, that will no longer be the case. Suffice it to say, we will not be returning.

I just did not get the vibe that it was going to be great.

The service was extremely kind and hopeful, but I will say that they cook your food to order so you will have to wait and I think it's worth it. The bacon was superb. I actually ordered some to-go because it was delicious! I had the apple pecan French toast and my God!!!! It blew me out the water!!! My husband had pancakes and bacon, and I actually stole his bacon because it was so good. They serve my favorite coffee, which is Segafredo and it was just a pleasant surprise to eat here!
