    Not toasted toast and refried poraroug
    Tiphanie S.

    I am honestly just plain sad to be making this review. My family and I have been going to The Original Pancake House for breakfast at least once a week since we moved to Maple Valley over 20 years ago. We raved to just about everyone we know about the food, the service, the portions and even the person on the other end of the phone when we would call in an order was like speaking to a little ray of sunshine. Now its almost impossible to speak to a human when you call here. Im not sure when EVERYTHING started to change but it seems it was around 3-5 years ago. My husband gave up on this restaurant a couple years ago but I have been a patient fan and hung in. Today I Quit! Its not because the side order of toast was not close to what I called toasted, had no butter and the condiments I made sure to ask for apparently no longer include any jam or jelly. Now ive spent momey on a side of toast that has no butter, not toasted. was not toasted and come without butter or jam. I hi were 50% not quite done being cooked and the other half had obviously been re-warmed so many times the fork couldn't stab them and I thought I had chipped a tooth. I am not removing this family restaurant from being an option because the people Ive interacted with no longer wear smiles and are extreemly defensive from the word Hi. Im not recommending this restraunt because I am no longer able to pay 7 bucks for a few ounces of juice that is sent with no straw. Not one order or trip in has been pleasant or issue free. Its as if everyone involved no longer has pride in their work or the restaurant. Last time I was in I was walking on someone's scrambled eggs that had not been cleaned off the floor. I am quitting this restaurant because management doesnt return calls or apologize when mistakes have been made. Its "my fault" the toast wasnt toasted or that I dont like potatoes that were originally fried days ago. I am quitting this establishment because I have not had a pleasant experience here in years and they have proven many times in the last 3 years that they do not care if we return or not. Bottom line is I give up and no longer recommend The Original Pancake House in Maple Valley even though we loved them for over 20 years.

    Diaper station in ladies room. Toilets are low - great for kiddos. :)

    Family friendly breakfast spot. Hostess seats you. Reservations recommended. We needed a high chair with our party and the hostess set one at the table before we were seated. Kids menu is paper and includes crayons. Sweet. Menu has a variety of items including chicken sausage, breakfast sandwiches and burritos, corned beef hash, Eggs Benedict and of course pancakes. The 'maple' syrup is not actually from a tree. Our waitress Maisie was excellent. Friendly and attentive, she did a great job. She took our drink order right away (coffee, water and juice), and kept the coffee and waters filled. A food runner brought the beverages over with cream for our coffees. Sugar, salt & pepper are on the table. Another food runner brought the meals. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Eggs were prepared as ordered. Nice casual ambiance with a fireplace in the diningroom where we were seated. High chair safety buckle was broken so if your little one need that check it out. We arrived shortly after opening and when we left about 90 minutes later the restaurant was filling up fast. Restrooms are clean, a diaper station is in the ladies room and the toilets are a little bit low accommodating children more easily. Love that! Parking is shared with other businesses in the shopping area.

    Ham and Cheese Omelette

    We had a great time here around noon on a Saturday. The staff were extremely friendly and several servers complimented my dad on his hat. I was thoroughly impressed with our service the entire time. The food was excellent with big portions. The omelette was almost the size of a large plate. It must have been a 4-5 egg omelette. My chicken fried steak was tasty with enough country gravy to smother the potatoes too. Pancakes were big, fluffy and had plenty of whipped butter. They were indulgent and delicious. My mom had the corn beef hash and ate it all even though it was a large crispy portion. (And she barely finishes a plate at any restaurant.) Just the slightly burnt way she likes it. Overall I was extremely happy with everything. It felt worth what we paid for it.

    Their idea of biscuits and gravy
    Johnathen V.

    Okay so we tried it again for the third time. To start we had to register and wait for a table for 15min. That would have been fine but there were empty tables everywhere. Then the waiter asks if we wanted anything to drink, Two coffees please one with cream. He asks if we needed more time, well we did just sit down so yes more time would be nice. So we ordered a Chicken fried steak,eggs over medium, a side of biscuits and gravy and a side of bacon. The chicken fried steak was "okay" at best. Gravy was not very warm, eggs were over done. The biscuits and gravy came and again the gravy was cold and barely covered the biscuits. I'm sorry but for $9.26 for one biscuit it better be smothered in gravy. The bacon though were a good amount was over salted and who deep fries bacon? Ever heard of a broiler? The waiter comes back and asks if everything is good. I say no, bacon is to salty and gravy is cold. He says he can get more gravy and dose so.Then we get our bill, what breakfast restaurant charges $4.29 per cup of coffee? Really??? All in all the waiter was just okay. The wait was to much to the point that we almost left and went to McDonalds. Probably should have! The bill ended up at $51.36 before the tip. NEVER AGAIN! My advice, save your money! Food has never been worth it any of the times we've been there! Ambiance is good.

    Always wanted to try this place and boy I'm glad I did! I have been to other franchises before but in my honest opinion this by far has been the best for me. We were greeted with Audrey whom was extremely happy and we felt her very good energy. Right away we knew we were going to have a great experience. Tod, the general manager showed up and he was exceptionally good humored that brought smiles to our faces. Food was delicious and portions were good. I suggest the pumpkin pancakes for people trying to cut the carbs, extremely tasty and so sweet not necessarily needing syrup. The ambiance was nice and felt like home. Definitely worth trying, I will be back

The issue is what you use for your breakfast doesn't correlate what you charge I ordered chicken and waffles, eggs, scrambled, and two orders of grits The whole order came out to about almost $50 I understand that the price of goods have gone up, but if you're going to charge people more than use fresh products or better product products the fact that you're charging over 6 dollars for grits that are literally the packet grits not even instant grits which you can't even tell their instant but you guys are charging that for a packet of grits so I paid $12 for the Quaker oats packet grits, which is insane The waffle was undercooked, and the chicken was cooked well but as dry as all get out. I did eat the eggs so that's the only win! I get it. I totally do, but it is super insane and I am livid about the grits as a southerner to sell people packet grits for that much is basically robbery. One order pays for literally a box of them or two boxes. I'm so disappointed.

Right off the bat, the hostess stood out. She was genuinely engaging and welcoming (wish I had caught her name), and we were seated immediately in the bar area. It was a little past the lunch rush--around 2 PM--so it was nice and relaxed, which made for a comfortable, easygoing vibe. We went back and forth trying to beat the lunch cutoff or just lean into the happy hour menu, and ended up doing a bit of both. We split a Caesar salad, which was fresh and really well done. For the main, we had the bacon avocado chicken wrap with tots--great flavor, definitely a solid choice. The only knock was the tots were a little on the cooling-off side and didn't quite hit the mark... although I still managed to finish them. To drink, I went with a Sky Kraken Pale Ale, which was excellent (and yes, there's photo evidence). Hey I'm retired now, I can drink at lunch!

I'd get mailers for this place all the time, but just ignored them. I used to get my Prime Rib and pie fix from the Shari's in Kent, but they closed down. After a long work week, I wanted that and I really did not feel like driving really far. So my wife got out of work earlier than usual and we decided to check this place out on a Friday night. It was about 7:45pm when we got there and most diners were already on their way out. Personally I like that cozy, country decor plus they have Prime Rib and pie! My son is also a picky eater and most places he only wants the salmon of which Stockton's has a kid's meal. The hostess greeted us pleasantly and seated us. They also have a bar next door with live music and I like that the volume from there isn't so loud that it drowns out the dining area. It took a while for us to go over the menu, but I appreciate being given time to go over that especially to a place I've never been to before. When we ordered the drinks, we got them right away. When we ordered our food, it came out really quick in under 20 minutes piping hot. I ordered buffalo chicken wings and the prime rib dinner. My wife ordered the burger and tots. My son ordered kid's salmon and fries. My wife said that it was one of the best burgers she's ever had so I've got to come in again and try that. This is huge because she rarely compliments quality of food. My son also found the salmon was good. I also really enjoyed the prime rib and appreciate the fact that my slice wasn't mostly fat. We got our pie slices to go. Kudos for have an amazing chef and great wait staff! I was a bit confused if this place is cash-only, but I paid in cash anyway. I also read the reviews online on all other sites prior to coming here and there's this one from a weirdo posting on every review site with a one star and it turns out they were just an angry Karen that didn't get their way. Don't let that dissuade you from coming in though. Based on our first time experience, we'll be coming in again.
