I got the Farmer's special and I typically don't like American breakfast like that BUT this was one of the most delicious omelettes I've had. The tomato in the omelette was super fresh and the ingredients weren't unique but it was cooked so well. Servers were very friendly and attentive. read more

TL;DR: Average diner. Average food. Lack of staff. Thick cut bacon is good. Parking: public lot or street parking around the shopping center. Located on the second floor of the Redmond Town Center. There is elevator access nearby as well as an escalator and stairs. Atmosphere: very small old school diner feel. Music quietly playing in the background Service: I was a bit disappointed in the lack of staff during lunch hour on a weekday. I stood in the front for almost 10 minutes with two kids before staff even acknowledged my existence. There was a lady working behind the counter just a few feet away from us the entire time and she didn't even muster a "welcome in, be with you shortly". We were just completely ignored until a different staff member emerged from the back much later to seat us. The place was practically empty except for a handful of occupied tables. Menu: no photos just walls of text -- item names and short descriptions. Pretty straight forward. Food was just your typical breakfast/brunch diner food. Nothing wowed me too much. I did however appreciate the thick cut bacon. For such a "big" diner chain, I was really unimpressed. Kid Friendliness: There is a small kid's menu with crayons and booster seats available upon request. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. It's American fare and they truly have great pancakes. It might be silly but I had the chocolate chip pancakes one time and that's all it took to get me hooked on them! Now I just ordered it every time We also had the sausage and eggs with breakfast potato I will say the potato definitely needed another 5 minutes as they were waaaaay too pale and a few were just plain under BUT the service is always great and the food is yummy Also shout out to the location love that it has big big windows looking out on to Redmond square and we always get a booth table. It's a place I take anyone who's coming to visit and in need of comforting breakfast read more

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. read more

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. read more

We spontaneously decided to go despite the low ratings. It was very busy and lots of people were waiting for a table. The inside is bright and cheery and the service is good. However, the food is straight up awful and a notch below IHOP. The chicken fried steak is perhaps the worst I have ever had. It was flat like a pancake with no discernible texture. It was tough and without the crispy texture that you would expect. The scrambled eggs were way overcooked and literally dripping with grease. Finally, the original pancakes were fine except that both of the ones I ate had an egg shell in each. I don't recall ever encountering that before. There were too many firsts in this meal and none of them were good. read more

The service was wonderful, everyone was very friendly, very attentive. I ordered Swedish pancakes and I've never had them served like this. Dry and crispy, with a small cup of berry sauce in the middle. No powdered sugar. No flavor it was like eating a tortilla for $17 read more

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! read more

This felt like a money grab! I adore the original pancake house in the Suburbs of Minnesota. I do not love this one in Redmond WA. If there is more than one and I'm on the wrong page it is specific to the one in Redmond town center. They mention fresh salsa on the menu. I asked for a side of salsa and a side of sour cream for my omelet. Salsa was $3.50 and sour cream was $1.50. They didn't tell me there was an up charge. I figured there would be one but it was a little excessive. (They do make beautiful fresh salsa at the MN locations) I learned later on my bill they use a chipotle salsa. I asked if they had another kind as I would never have ordered a chipotle salsa and that I did not like this one at all. She said, nope --just the one kind and no where in the menu do they use the chipotle description. Also it was not fresh , so false advertising to boot. The sour cream came in a side cup the size of a tiny ketchup cup. (I didn't need more than that, it was just clearly an over-charge for the amount given. They did not put in our Dutch baby that we ordered and when asked about it when our main food was delivered. We were going to try to share that for the table. Like a starter. Also when they brought the bill it had like a $96 or $98 total. When I put my card in it and it came back it was a higher total. They didn't bring back that original slip. Only the new one. Like $111 or $115, I can't remember. It turns out the waitress had forgot to put it in and Instead of comping it or explaining that she forgot just kind of left us wondering when we saw tons of Dutch baby's delivered past our table time after time. With the item coming after our meal not at the beginning they must have just added the $17 Dutch baby after they had my card. It seems she never put it in yet was totally surprised we had not yet received it. Her mistake. This was really bad business practice and very deceptive to the consumer. To bring one bill with a smaller amount and then return a higher amount after the card was rung. We also did. Not get an apology. Nor any apology or coming on the salsa not being fresh, what was false advertised and not very good. Terrible actually but I don't like chipotle peppers. Whip cream was an up-charge on my daughter's a-la-cart waffle $17 for a-la-cart waffle and another $3.50 for whip cream. which we ordered from the adult menu and it was a size of a kids waffle. And pumpkin pancakes were an up charge on my other daughter's meal. Totally fine and came with whip cream! For $3.50 or 3.95 trying to do this from memory! drip coffee was over $4 Last year I did have two meals when they were featuring crab Benedict and I had a nice server both times. But that was seasonal. It will probably be my last trip to this one unless I randomly cross its path during crab week! They had a few opportunities to comp the little stuff or the forgotten Dutch baby but it was more like take, take, take. There were opportunities to help us be ok with the mistakes but they didn't take it upon themselves selves to see it from the consumers perspective and they used the deceptive business practice by adding something after the final bill was delivered with no explanation or apology. We still tipped $22% but it was not worth that especially after feeling Nickle and dimed. I cannot recommend this restaurant for any family seeking a quality meal for a good value. read more

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. read more

I've never had a worse omelette in my life!! Not even recognizable......this big brown hunk of something. I guess they cooked it so long it ended up like dried bread. Also there was hardly anything inside. Ordered the sausage and pepper jack although I couldn't tell. They must've asked someone off the street to come in and cook...someone who had no idea what an omelette was. I should have refused it but it would have caused a problem with the party I was with. Will never ever go back there!!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I have a love-hate relationship with this place. The food is absolutely amazing, but it's definitely on the pricier side for breakfast. Still, I find myself dining in or ordering delivery at least twice a month because it's that good. My go-to order is the meat and eggs combo with bacon, over medium eggs, and I splurge on both the buttermilk pancakes and grilled potatoes. It costs extra to get both, but trust me, it's worth it. The buttermilk pancakes are hands down my favorite. I've tried the strawberry pancakes too, and they're equally delicious, but sometimes I like to stick with the classic. The service and coffee can be hit or miss, but I keep coming back because the food never disappoints. read more

Food is tasty. If they get something wrong don't expect them to credit you. They just sort of brush it off. The service stinks!

Have eaten here a few times in the past, food always good. Today, they were busy but wait was only 15 minutes and service great. Food was another matter. "Spring Menu" included crab Benedict and crab omelet. Omelet was advertised as being stuffed with crab, asparagus, mozzarella and topped with "shaved parmesan." Prices were $24.95 & $26.95 My wife got the benedict, I ordered the omelet with pancakes. Came out relatively quickly. Benedict looked fine. My omelet was large but didn't show any signs of parmesan, shaved or otherwise. I started eating, and coming in from the edge was not surprised to find no filling. But closer to the middle it was still sparse so I flipped it open and found two small morsels of crab, and a couple ounces of cheese. Plenty of asparagus but all stems, no tips. I think the tips go on the benedict and the stems are chopped up for the omelets. When server came by and asked how things were, I said the omelet was lacking crab. She came back and said she checked with the manager and "omelets have 2 1/2 ounces of crab which we measure out. But since you did not get what you expected, we'll give you a discount." Well check came and they took 10% off the omelet. So I paid $22.50 for an asparagus and mozzarella omelet with essence of crab. Picture attached of opened-up omelet after I ate the two bites of crab I could find. Doubtful we'll go back, but also doubtful they'll cry any tears as they seem to always be busy. read more

Ambience - 2.5/5 - Pretty average looking breakfast place. Food - 4/5. We ordered Sweet Bell Peppers Omelette. They come with 3 regular pancakes. With an additional $2.5 you can choose any other pancakes (if you don't want the regular ones) we ordered chocolate chips pancakes. The portion was huge and can be easily shareable with 2 person. The pancakes were soft. With chocolate chips it had a perfect semi sweet taste to it The omelette was fluffy and stuffed well with cheese. The salsa was a good touch on the top with sour cream. Service - 1/5 - The service was bad, very slow and all the servers had a grumpy face in the morning Overall - I would recommend this place if you want a decent breakfast and don't care about the service. read more

I have weekly standing appointments in Redmond Towne Center so walk by this place a lot. When they first opened I wanted to support local businesses and had breakfast at The OPH here. Left a little disappointed. 2 years ago, out of the area friends wanted to eat here and I reluctantly agreed - I should have tried to change their minds and go elsewhere. Just a few days ago, I had a craving for a waffle breakfast. And being in the vicinity, against my better judgement, decided to go here. Once again, should have listened to my past experiences. Upon arrival, no one at the front desk to seat you - even though sign says to wait for someone to seat you. I waited and waited and waited - servers walking around, I saw staff in the back - so many staff saw me yet didn't do anything - ended up waiting like 10 minutes to be seated for a party of 1. Ordered a waffle breakfast - 1 waffle, 1 egg and bacon - crispy. Took nearly 25 minutes to get my order - and no, the place was not super busy - it was the middle of the week at around 10:30/10;45am. Read my book I had purchased at the local RTC bookstore (Brick and Mortar Bookstore) and actually read like 4 entire chapters before breakfast arrived. And it was quite disappointing. The entire breakfast looked like it had been pre-cooked and reheated in the microwave. The waffle was 'warm' and entiredly soft - not a crispy edge anywhere and the whipped butter didn't even melt - just sat on top - it was that lukewarm. The bacon was crispy as requested, but once again, it was 'warm' but certainly could tell that it had not been just cooked since there wasn't even a hint of grease on it...like it had been pre-cooked and reheated. The egg was weird - I asked for over easy - and the egg looked like it had been dropped in water with a runny white topside and bottom side - certainly not cooked on a grill. And although I understand that eating out has increased in price, paying nearly $30.00 (including tip) for this lack of quality breakfast is just not acceptable. I really really want to support this business but I do believe I have finally learned from my mistakes and will not be returning - no matter whatl. read more

Poor first time in person experience between 11:30-12:30pm on 7/7. 1. It would be nice if all employees had name tags. 2. Our server only took our order but never came back to check up on us. The restaurant was not busy. 3. Rude hostess. She doesn't know how to smile. As I walked up to her I had to say hi first. She just stared at me. We waited almost 15 minutes after we checked in as we were on a waitlist. She is better off working in the kitchen or anywhere where there is little to know interaction. 4. Most of the staff did not look happy. The restaurant was not busy but there were so many empty tables that were not cleaned so it took awhile to seat the next customers. Thank you to the server who delivered our food. She was the only employee who smiled and was very friendly. Unfortunately I don't know her name. I won't go back to this restaurant. read more

The Original Pancake House - Garden Fresh Eggs Benedict and Avocado Toast - Pancakes Near Me - Redmond, Washington

One of the gyms I go to is at Redmond Town Center, so my friend and I were searching for a place nearby for brunch after our workout. We saw that The Original Pancake House was part of the town center, so decided to check it out on a Sunday morning. Sunday funday brings all the brunchers. It was pretty busy when we arrived, but we were able to be seated immediately for the two of us. The restaurant is what you'd expect from a place that specializes in breakfast, as it has that homey feel to it and no alcohol. The menu had several classic dishes, from its namesake of different pancakes, to eggs made in every way, and lighter options, like oatmeal and fruit. I ordered the country eggs benedict while my friend had the strawberry waffles plate. The food takes a bit to get, but good food is worth the wait, right? By the time our food arrived to our table, they brought out a country fried steak meal for me instead of the country eggs benedict, so had to wait a bit longer for mine to be remade. But what was nice with many of the entrees here is that you get a side of bread or pancakes, and of course I had to get pancakes. So I ate my pancakes until my main entrée was ready and have to say, I forgot how good pancakes were. I hardly ever eat them, but why the heck not? They were buttery, soft and had a hint of vanilla. Even without syrup they were solid. When my country eggs benedict did arrive, I thought it was A-OK. I was disappointed that the biscuit was not soft and doughy, like how I prefer my biscuits. And the piece of the chicken fried steak on the biscuit was thin and lackluster. Gravy was also bland. Yet, the poached eggs with that broken yolk was solid, especially with some hot sauce. I wouldn't order this entrée again, as it was disappointing and not worth the wait. Everything on the plate sounded good with chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, but they all fell short. Stick with the pancakes here and you'll be satisfied. read more
