    I've come here before, but this time I came for my birthday coupon ($10 discount). It was on a random workday so I didn't have much time to eat, but they were nice enough to let me order to go instead of scarfing food in the restaurant! There is actually a very close parking lot to this restaurant that I missed, but a good note for next time. Last time I came I didn't get pancakes, and this time I got the corned beef hash which came with optional pancakes. Oh my goodness I really missed out last time! These pancakes were EXCELLENT. I loved how fluffy they were- I tend to not order pancakes because they feel dense and claggy but these were soft and soft and perfect. Also my meal is going to last me two meals, which means this is also a great price haha! I'll bring my friends next time we're looking for an inexpensive brunch place

    More mold
    Wendy D.

    I truly wanted to give OPH a chance, but after multiple awful experiences, I'm done. It sucks because we really did want to enjoy their food. Most recently, I received moldy pancakes -- yes, actual green and blue mold visibly growing on the food. When I called to inform the restaurant, I was told "we can't do anything about it." No apology, no refund, no concern. Just total indifference to serving unsafe, inedible food. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've had issues here. On a previous visit, a cockroach crawled out in the bathroom. I should have trusted my gut and not come back after that. Between the mold, pests, and complete lack of accountability, this place is a health hazard and customer service disaster. Never again.

    I came here today cause it reminded me of my old job blackbear back in Arizona and it was the decorations, but I'm happy I came over here. The service was amazing. Only waited for like a minute just for the host to sit me down and my service was really nice. She was a good server. She can make a customer service and I'm glad to have a reward program that gives a free drink when you sign up. The menu is not very big, but I like that I got the eggs and meat which include two chicken apple patties, eggs, potatoes and toast for a reasonable price it was all handmade so I love that right there quickly and I got a ice tea as well. I will be coming back over here again. The service was amazing.

    Blueberry pancakes

    Felt absolutely compelled to write a review about this place. I understand it was a busy morning/afternoon, but service was lazy, food took insanely long. Pancakes tasted absolutely disgusting, I don't know how blueberry pancakes can taste that SALTY AND BITTER. slightly undercooked as well. Sausage was gross, bacon was insanely salty, overall everything was not good at all, and for the price, that was insane. Never coming back here again, honestly if you're in Bellevue area, go to chaces pancake corral instead.

    Cute little breakfast spot the orange juice is fresh the coffee is hot - Great service!!

    My favorite breakfast at my favorite spot to have breakfast (Redmond)!

    This is my favorite place to have breakfast. The pancakes are absolutely perfect - the flavor, texture, and thickness are all exactly what I look for in a pancake. The bacon is thick, and crispy on the outside while being tender and juicy on the inside - I wish I could get this bacon at the grocery store! The whipped cream is also made in-house, and is thicker than anything you'll find at the grocery store - it's delicious! I love spreading a little of it on my pancakes along with the butter and syrup. The restaurant itself is very clean, and I like the tables - the finish on these tables feels much nicer than the tables found in Maple Valley. The service is very friendly and attentive - I've never had a hard time getting my server's attention. I only have two complaints about this restaurant, and that would be that it's pretty far away from where I live (Renton), and eating here can be a bit pricey, though anytime I can excuse the expense, I do still love eating here.

    Roasted Georgia Pecan Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, & Seasoned Grilled Potatoes
    Victoria H.

    Wow, wow, wow! That is all I can say about The Original Pancake House! A friend invited me recently to brunch here, and I am so glad I went. This place is incredible. I love the classic country/casual diner vibe of this spot. This is a great breakfast or brunch spot for the whole family! The service was great and speedy, and all of the staff were polite and kind. I had the Georgia pecan pancakes with scrambled eggs, and the seasoned potatoes. All of the food I had was absolutely delicious and full of great flavors. The pancakes were delicious and some of the best pancakes that I have ever had. The seasoned potatoes and eggs also had great flavors. I definitely recommend The Original Pancake House for a delicious breakfast or brunch spot!

    It was all a ok!! The service, the wait... the food. Too slow, too long and not that great of a food. Everything took too long: from seating to order to coffee to main dishes. And even to pay tons while because they seemed to be understaffed. Not busy, just understaffed. Ambiance isn't that great either. Needs some love. Our server was a nice lady but it was her alone for the whole place. Everything was a ok.

    Sourdough Pancakes with strawberry and tropical syrups.
    Cindy A.

    After exploring the outdoor mall, I was ready for lunch. The Original Pancake House sounded good - I mean who doesn't love breakfast food? I looked at all the options on the menu and decided to try some pancakes. I ordered the sourdough pancakes. I wanted to try their homemade syrups, so my server suggested the tropical syrup as well as the strawberry. The 5 pancakes also came with 2 eggs (I got scrambled). All I can say is yum yum! The pancakes were tasty and both syrups were delicious. My eggs were cooked just right! From the friendly service to the laid back atmosphere to the yummy food - I have no complaints. If you are craving breakfast food, try the Original Pancake House!

    Pigs in a blanket
    Erin K.

    I'm really disappointed in this place - the portions are super small not like before. The corned beef hash and eggs were super salty and the "grilled" potatoes were barely cooked. The pigs in the blanket are okay but the pancakes were half the size than they used to be. For $20+ per dish it's a bit much. The orange juice is so small I'd hate to see what a small orange juice looked like. Service is subpar but it was a busy Saturday. I used to love this place several years ago ... for a breakfast place it's now like ihop.

    Do they take reservations for Father's Day?

    No, first come first serve. I waited for 45 mins on a party of 2 on Father's Day. The size of this new place is half big compared to Kirkland location.

There was a tray of a rhubarb crumb that looked good. I asked for that and the chocolate cake. I ordered a large cappuccino, my dad an americano and my mom got a latte. While the coffees were being made someone came in and snagged the whole tray because of Mother's Day. We made a decision to get the carrot cake. Secretly I think my dad was hoping for a Carrot Cake. We enjoyed both cakes and the cake slices were huge! I love baking myself and understand ingredients are not cheap so I believe they are very much worth the price. The space was nice and clean. Everyone's food around us looked delicious. I will definitely be back to try out the food next time I come to visit.

Our family took advantage of the chicken's ability to maintain their crispiness, even for carry-out. It was OK, though a little confusing. Once we settled on KFC for dinner, our hosts (daughter and son-in-law) suggested carryout from 'The Third Place', which was a little out of the way from where we were. It is the Third restaurant opened by the owner, all Seattle area locations known for her KFC (Shin Sung Korean restaurant with Underground Kitchen and the since closed Yeon's Chicken). The chicken was ordered beforehand, and because it is prepared fresh when ordered, it took a bit of time for the order to be complete. There is a limited amount of sauce choices, so we chose Honey Garlic ($23.99) and the classic Yangnyum ($23.99), both marked as Whole Chicken size. Also a side order of french fries ($7.99) completed the order. The fries were good: nice and hot, heavily battered potatoes, providing a nice amount of carbs to go with the fried chicken. The chicken came with pickled radish (chicken-mu) which for me is a must, and it was good. In terms of the chicken, they were all wings, which isn't what I expected: getting the breast and thigh pieces chopped into bite-size pieces, battered and sauced, is what makes it KFC, vs all wings which is more like a Buffalo wing restaurant. So we still got the expected 14 pieces, but they were all wings (flats and drums). I thought the sauces were fine (intentionally ordered mild), and the chicken did maintain a crunch (though not as shattering as the best we've had).
