I came back because everyone was telling me about the Dutch Baby pancake and that I had to have it. When I met up with my cousin for lunch, we were told they were sold out, and that we need to come early. So we met up for breakfast at 6:30. We were one of two tables that early. The Dutch Baby takes 20 minutes, so order breakfast and by the time you're halfway done, the Baby will arrive. It's almost like a cake but with the texture of a crepe. It was very good! I didn't understand what to do when it arrived, but our server said to put butter on it first, squeeze the lemon all over it, and sprinkle the powdered sugar. This was really good! I mean, the flavors all worked well. It was worth the wait. But seriously, go early and get it. You won't be able to after 12 noon! I really love coming here! It's got a great old school vibe and all the aunties are so sweet! Mahalo OGP! read more

Usually go here for brunch with the fam, wait time isn't that long when we go (pretty sure days vary). The service is always good, there's this one Micronesian waitress (didn't catch her name). Very attentive, friendly, and patient when my brother takes long for an order. The food portions are medium sized but you'll be surprised on how fulfilling it is. Definitely prefer their pancakes over iHop. Loco Moco is great too. The restaurant itself gives old school style, nothing that bugs the eye when you're looking around. But the aesthetic of the restaurant definitely matches the name. I heard this specific location, has been there for a while now. Mahalo! read more

Get there early before the rush! Everyone in there is nice and attentive. They refilled our coffee often and made a fresh pot while we were there. Classic breakfast restaurant decor with wood tables, chairs, and paneling. We ordered a Loco Moco, Potato Omelette, and a Dutch Baby. Loco Moco came with a homemade patty, but the gravy tasted simple (like instant kind). Potato omelette has hash browns in it (I was hoping for diced potatoes, but still good). And came with this sour cream sauce, it really tasted like a white gravy - super good! Never had a Dutch Baby before, they tell you that they take 30 minutes to cook. I think ours was a little under that time because the crowd wasn't in there yet. Chewy, layered, with butter, powdered sugar, and lemon slices. Gotta add the lemon, idk why, but it really cut sweetness. read more

Weekday Holiday Wait is Long as expected, be sure to put your name down and hang around the front door to hear your party' name called. We got a great parking spot right outside the door se we could sit in the car with windows down and hear the names being called. Our host sat us down but our waiter was very Overwhelmed. Took 15min for our waiter to bring waters and coffee, 15min more to order, and 30min Moore to get food. Kitchen was very backed up, we could tell by all the other tables waiting on their food so we were (kind of) understanding- it just sucked. Coffee/water Refills were few and we had to flag someone down each time. It could help if the host would stagger on sitting tables to help with timing for waiters/kitchen. Food was okay, we got meat and eggs- nothing super special. read more

One of the breakfast restaurants on island. I've tried so many and these guys are quick, welcoming, and their hospitality is above the roof.

Came here on a Thursday morning and it was quite busy! This place is casual and has some history. All the staff were friendly. It gives out the family business linda vibe. It's a pancake house so how can I not try the pancakes?! I got the broccoli cheese omelette and it comes with 3 pieces of pancakes. The pancakes were so soft and tasted great with butter and syrup. The omelette was not bad as well. And they were so generous with the portion! I was only able to finish half of it and had to take the rest home. I ordered coffee and they do free refills. Love it! Overall really good quality and amount of food for the price you pay. And plenty of parking outside. Will definitely come back! read more

Very slow service.... Had to ask repeatedly for refill of our drinks. Wasn't that busy but took a very long time to get our food. Waitress had to be waved over to us, never checked back on us. Very disappointed read more

Amazing customer service from the moment we stepped in, these ladies treat every customer like a regular. The decor is very old-timey, dark and cozy, reminiscent of old European restaurants of the past. We ordered a loco moco and a Dutch baby pancake. The loco moco was perfectly seasoned, not too salty like most places. It was our first time trying a Dutch baby, it was perfectly crispy around the edges and the texture of the inside reminded us of butter mochi. 2 breakfast entrees came out to under $40 which is pretty reasonable in this crazy economy. Will definitely be back again! read more

Food is still delicious, but it took really long to arrive at the table. There were only a few other diners in the restaurant at 745am. Service was also behind, however, friendly. We waited quite a while to get take out boxes once we were finished with our meal - that of which we needed to flag someone down for since our server never came back for over 20-30 mins. Sort of bummed out because usually it's not that delayed. Ambiance is old school and nostalgic. The restrooms tho -- gross. After years of not eating here, the bathroom is still extremely off putting and smells like sewage. Pretty disgusting if you stop in before your meal. I wish they would do something about that! :( read more

My Fiance and recently went to check out the original pancake house and I was left with some mix feelings. The staff were very friendly, the food was okay but took a while to come out, and the restaurant was very clean. Starting off with the food, I ordered the special of the day which was luncheon meat with eggs and rice and my fiance got the Portuguese rice and eggs, and we both shared the coconut pancakes. The luncheon meat was two slices that were very thinly cut, to the point where you could hardly get any flavor from them, I was definitely thinking I should have just ordered the spam and eggs instead. My fiance said she enjoyed her Portuguese sausage and eggs though. The coconut pancakes were very good and the haupia icing was the best! I definitely want to try the other pancakes they have there too. The staff were very nice and you could tell they kept the restaurant very clean, we didn't wait long to be seated either. We ordered pretty quickly but our food took a little over 30 minutes to come out, we looked around and noticed that other people who had gotten there before us were still waiting too. We also barely saw our server the entire time and had to ask other staff for help when we needed something. Over all I don't think the Original Pancake house is a bad place, I really wanna come back and try the other dishes. Hopefully the wait times aren't too bad though when we come back. If I had to recommend it to other people to try I'd definitely say to come through, maybe we just went on an off day! Until next time! read more

This has become my go to place for whenever I'm craving pancakes and am too lazy to make them at home. We come here at least once a year (thank you wifey for the father's day breakfasts, lol). Parking isn't really much of an issue as the parking lot they share is pretty accommodating. However, because of all the construction on Dillingham it can take a little longer to get here. Also, expect a wait. Everytime we've gone its been at least a 10-15 minute wait. Which says quite a bit about the restaurant already if there's always a line. Interior is pretty dimly lit, but cozy. Staff is super friendly and helpful. And the tables (at least in my experience) never have that sticky-old-syrup feel to them. They're actually wiped down properly. Food is delicious and no matter what I end up getting I'm always satisfied. Unfortunately you can't upgrade the kids meals to include fancier pancakes, but the waitresses are always ready to help find a workaround to accommodate which is always super helpful with 2 little kids who like to whine and complain, haha. The ONLY thing I will say negatively about this place is that the bathrooms, while relatively clean looking, have always smelled absolutely foul. But that's minor as we're not here to use the restrooms...although you might be. You do you. Is there a yelp for bathrooms? read more

The service was good and we didn't have to wait too long going here for breakfast. The corned beef hash met my craving but did leave me looking around and wishing that I ordered something else. The banana pancakes were tasty but would kinda fall apart when picking them up. Overall I enjoyed my breakfast but for the price I would go somewhere else. I would give the steak and eggs a try because when another table ordered that I was definitely jealous. read more

Come early if you don't like waiting in line. They are busy during peak breakfast hours. Not sure how long we waited but it didn't seem like a very long wait time. They were pleasant and courteous service. The atmosphere was comfortable and I was wearing a jeans jacket. We ordered the Dutch Baby as soon as we sat down since it takes quite a while to make. I ordered bacon and eggs and my husband ordered corned beef and eggs. I ordered extra crispy bacon and soft scrambled eggs. The eggs came out soft scrambled not scrambled. The bacon came crispy with some parts on the soft side but I like my bacon crispy all over. The hash brown was frozen patties. The Dutch Baby was soft in the middle and crispy on the outside edges. It was good, delicious with just the powdered sugar. read more

I am rating The Original Pancake House 5 stars because it's a classic breakfast place consistently serving scrumptious breakfast options as long as I can remember. It's very casual, older style vibe, but that is its charm. They have a wider selection of pancakes (Dutch pancakes, 49er flapjacks, French pancakes) you typically won't find at other breakfast places. Note: Dutch pancakes take 20-30 minutes to make, but I heard it's scrumptious!!! For my breakfast, I went with sweet bread French toast combo. Everything was great including the service! Be prepared to wait to be seated as this place can be very busy especially on the weekends. Limited hours from early morning until early afternoon. It's in a strip mall type of complex with ample free parking. read more

We haven't been there for a while and decided to go because it was a week day and the weekends are normally very busy with lines waiting to get a table. This time we walked right in and were seated, it was pretty empty with only a few tables being occupied. I ordered the Canadian bacon with scrambled eggs and pancakes it seem that the pancakes were not as fluffy as before it was thin and watch out for the maple syrup it is not thick if pours out like water, they must be using an imitation maple syrup. My wife had the bacon and eggs was okay with pancakes the pancakes was not like before. The coffee and service were very good, but the breakfast was a disappointment. read more

Great service but weak dutch baby. Maybe the batter or pan was too cold? Or maybe too much batter for the pan? They said it would take a 20-25 minutes to make these, but the first and second time they made it took way less. Probably shouldn't rush these things. read more

The Original Pancake House - apple dutch baby ! - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We have always come to The Original Pancake House Dillingham location over the years for their breakfast offerings. Egg dishes, pancake selections.m, there's something for everyone. Eggs with homemade corned beef patty are a favorite, as is the dutch baby and also the apple pancake which both require more time to make. They got through the pandemic and are a nice meal relief in the crazy Dillingham construction area. More breakfast than not, worth the hassle to get there. Lots of parking but it can get crowded during peak meal times. They are open for breakfast and lunch, not dinner. Great service with a local kine vibe, nice choices and delicious grinds. read more

Forty Niner Flapjacks....mike drop! What more is there to say? It's just simple food done right. Light, chewy goodness. Don't have the time to sit and eat, so it's carry out for me. All good. Tons of free parking in private lot at 0600 hrs. Restrooms located at the rear of the restaurant. Wait staff are always friendly and helpful. (I need to tip more!) Corned beef has patty is hime made, not supermarket canned kine. Nice ratio of corned beef to mashed potatoes to diced potatoes. Not just potatoes. Portuguese sausage is sliced nicely. Not skinny, leather like slices like their neighbor has. I can eat this one and it has really good flavor, like it should. Dining room is empty at 0600 hrs, so it's a nice place to meet up w co-workers for a breakfast meeting before work. I'm so happy this location didn't close after the pandemic, even though they were struggling to find workers. As long as I still work in the area, I will continue to get my flapjack food here. No one else comes close! read more

I've never been to this restaurant and I believe this location is the last one in Hawaii or at least on Oahu so I had to come for breakfast. First of all, the Denver omelette I ordered was huge. Filled with ham, onions, and bell peppers, I added cheddar cheese for a small additional charge. It also came with hash browns, toast, or Buttermilk pancakes. I had to get the pancakes. Sorry, I was so excited when my food arrived that I forgot to take a picture. There were 3 pancakes that arrived hot and fluffy with a huge amount of melting butter on it. Light and fluffy, I ate about a quarter of the serving and got full so after trying a few bites of my omelette and finding it delicious, I boxed it up and took it home to enjoy later. The place is dimly lit with dark wood paneling, and it was packed when we got there around 10am. Families with young children and seniors were enjoying their meals as well. Plenty of parking (it is located in the same complex as McDonald's on Dillingham Blvd. (Tip: We took King St and turned on Waiakamilo to avoid most of the traffic and construction on Dillingham.) Reasonably priced for the amount of food, remember to bring cash if you don't want to pay the credit card fee. read more

A very popular spot to enjoy breakfast in Honolulu. I had the pancakes, eggs and bacon platter- everything was delicious and the pancakes were humongous. My significant other enjoyed some delicious French toast, eggs and Portuguese sausage. We arrived around 11 AM on a Saturday and it was fairly busy and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. A decent place to have breakfast in Honolulu. read more

Yes, the wait can be long--but trust me, it's so worth it. I never thought I'd be raving about plain pancakes or French toast, but there's just something about them here that's out of this world! Omg, they're so buttery, soft, and rich--it's hard to explain, but you'll know what I mean after the first bite. Both the pancakes and the French toast were phenomenal. Simple, yet unforgettable. I'm already dreaming about my next visit! read more

Great old-school restaurant. I always get an omelet that come with 3 pancakes! So good! Wait times vary as it can get crowded peak times, but it's worth the wait. The inside is on the darker side as the tables and chairs and siding are all dark wood, but it's meant to look that way, old-school charm. Waitresses are the best too! Food is great, service is fast and friendly, prices are not bad. Beats out the "trendy" breakfast places. read more

It's good simple classic food with the sweetest service. Happy yelping! read more

The Original Pancake House - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I absolutely LOVE this place! There is a large selection of brunch items. My favorite is always the 49er pancakes which are very thin chewy pancakes. The staff are friendly and there is ample parking. Their servings are generous and it's best to bring your appetite! So many selections for sweet and savory, even for pickier people, you are sure to find something here you would like. I also recommend the Apple Pancakes if you don't mind waiting an extra 30-40 minutes. They bake freshly sliced apples and bake them into the pancakes. It's almost like eating an apple pie. So worth the wait and excellent for sharing. I have been to this restaurant in AZ, CA, CO, and HI and the restaurants are consistently nothing special but the food is consistently delicious. read more

I've been going to the Original Pancake House for all of my life! It's a favorite of ours. We love the staff and the food, especially the Dutch Baby. The ONLY reason I gave four stars is because of the bathroom. There is an awful sewer stench and the toilet and floor are dirty. I don't like going to the bathroom there because it makes me lose my appetite. Please please please renovate your bathrooms and keep it clean. We had family from out-of-town and we brought them there because we love it there, but they were turned off by the bathrooms. . Still love you though, always will read more
