This was my first time here because I save the breakfast trips for when other people want to eat that early. This time it was my mom, we both ordered hot tea which warmed my soul. My mom got the oven baked 5-egg omelette with shrimp and some modifications and pancakes. I got the ham, eggs and silver dollar pancakes. The omelettes are a pretty penny but can definitely be shared amongst two with ease so it's worth the money. Our server was training, she was great but her trainee Harold just seemed like he's in the wrong field. Didn't get any pictures because I hadn't seen my mom in a while, but some of the best memories are those we don't capture on camera.

Over cooked potatoes and bacon.

Several years I gave this place 2 stars. The food I received then vs today is light years different. I had the BLT with fresh cut fries. I've been here several times in the past few months, my regular server Julie is great.

Gluten free blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup. YUM!

This gem is located in Midtown, right by the Kroger near Mall Boulevard on Hodgson Memorial. They've got a small parking lot out front (shared with a couple of other restaurants) and additional parking behind, which is convenient for busy weekends. The staff here are absolutely fantastic--super friendly and always on top of refills. They understand the importance of coffee first thing in the morning, and you won't have to wait long before your cup's topped off. They're open for both breakfast and lunch, but if you're heading in for breakfast on the weekend (especially after church), be prepared for it to be a bit busy. That said, the food is totally worth the wait. Portions are HUGE, the bacon is perfectly crispy, and if you're gluten-free, you'll be thrilled to know they offer both gluten-free pancakes and waffles! While they don't offer fancy coffee drinks or dairy-free options, the star here is definitely the gluten-free pancakes. So if you're looking for a solid breakfast with great service and a satisfying meal, this place has you covered!

Tea and they sell these cute mugs in 3 colors.

Im.pretty sure they had 12 kinds of pancakes! Plus lots and lots and lots of other choices for breakfast. It's usually very easy for me to decide on breakfast. Not this time. I finally settled on Georgia pecan pancakes. He had eggs Benedict with home fries and one biscuit (can you add a little sausage gravy? Sure thing, honey.) Lots of Southern charm found at this place. My pancakes were Big. Too big, I could only eat two. His breakfast was delicious too, and of course we sampled each others. Will definitely make this a monthly stop when we move here. Our service was great until billl time came. For sike reason actually getting the bill and then paying the bill took 20 minutes. They were that dang busy.

I wanted to this place while I was in town for work. I got the country ham and eggs meal. The meal was cooked well and came out pretty quick considering they were busy. The waitress was on top of it and made sure we got our drinks refilled without asking. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming.

Avocado  Toast

We were greeted and seated upon entry! Our server was very attentive! I believe Nuri is her name! I ordered the avocado toast. I was slightly disappointed because the avocado seemed prepackaged but it was okay. I'm glad that the hollandaise was on the side. I enjoyed the breakfast potatoes and the smoked sausage that my Dad I shared very much! My Dad enjoyed his pancakes, bacon and eggs! The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to sit inside. The menu has a wide variety of options.

A few weeks ago, my Sister-In-Love and my beautiful nieces came for breakfast. This visit was extra special because it had been a while since we have enjoyed a day together. Our wait time was less than ten minutes. Our waitress took our drink orders, giving us time to peruse the menu. I already know what I wanted - the crabcake omelet. My first visit was more than five years ago, and I never forgot how rich and decadent this delicious omelet tasted. So, for the second time, I ordered the 5-egg crabcake omelet with a side of pancakes. My sister-in-love ordered the crabcake breakfast with scrambled eggs and a side of hollandaise. Beauty Queen Number 1 ordered steak and eggs over easy, and Beauty Queen Number 2 ordered the banana pancakes with a side of bacon. My omelet was epically delicious - a gi-normous, meaty crabcake cradled within a fluffy cloud of eggs, accompanied by a side of hollandaise and a nice stack of tender, fluffy pancakes. Kudos to the chefs for providing such generous portions. If you leave the Original Pancake House hungry, that's your fault, lol! Because it's impossible to leave this place hungry. If anything, you'll be so full and satisfied that you'll wish there was a sofa to sleep off your imminent food coma. Needless to say, we enjoyed our food so much. We're looking g forward to another visit, but not too soon because at almost two thousand calories, my calorie allowance was blown away, with enough for the next day. Our waitress was very nice. I would have loved for her to be more prompt with the coffee refills, but nothing was seriously lacking. My only concern is the space of the dining area. Seating was a little tight, but manageable. There's an outdoor seating area, but it was so hot, dining inside was much more preferable. All in all, we really enjoyed our breakfast. We'll be visiting again.

The Original Pancake House is a local breakfast staple in Southside Savannah. It is quality food, well done, and semi quickly dependent upon what you order. The service is always great. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The food comes out quickly. Yet again depending upon what you order. There are a few items on the menu which staff will tell you are not quick to cook. The restaurant has a variety of seating. When you enter you will see a bar directly in front of you with stool seating. There are also tables and banquets throughout the rest of the space. The bathrooms are directly to your left when you enter the front doors. Pancake is in the name, and the pancakes are awesome here! An entire page on the menu is dedicated to them. I am personally a fan of a classic with maple syrup. Their maple syrup is served warm here by the way. But there are a variety of mix-ins and syrups offered on the menu. I am generally an espresso person. This is one of the very few places I actually will order a plain cup of coffee. They have good coffee. I also love their mugs! They are made out of ceramic. Also shaped to fit your hands. Your coffee does not get cold quickly and your hands will not get burnt by the mug. My go to meal for breakfast is the eggs and bacon. You will choose how you like your eggs. They always come out perfectly. The chefs in the back are egg masters. I ask for extra crispy bacon. And finally you get pancakes too! Or you can switch to grits, toast, or another side of choice depending upon price. The grits are delicious here too! Go grab yourself some pancakes, crepes, eggs, or grab a sandwich! Because they are only open for breakfast and lunch. It is worth a visit.

Corned beef hash Benedict
Tanya J.

Yum!! Finally gave this spot a try for breakfast on a Saturday morning around 10:30am, and it was packed!!! From families leaving Saturday sport events, older groups meeting up to hang, and young people dragging their feet from the night before (and everyone in between). Definitely a "come as you are" kind of place, and I love it. We waited about 15-20 to be seated, and almost slipped on our way to our seats. The services here are quick! For good reason, but one almost tackled me as I rounded the corner. The place could be a bit cleaner, but I will say it gets the job done. I'll definitely be back, the food tasted so good! Don't have high expectations here, but know you'll leave full!

SAVANNAH, GA 31406 / BREAKFAST/ MULTIPLE VISITS +The customer service was beyond superb; Mandy really took care of us. +The corned beef hash is made in-house. +The thick-cut bacon wasn't too salty. +Everything we ordered was delicious. +The place was pretty clean and the staff work really hard to provide an amazing customer experience. +Plenty of parking and the Wednesday and Thursday we went wasn't too busy. -The fresh cut fries could've been a little bit more crispy. Get the Dutch Baby!

Had seen this place so many times and finally tried it out I should have sooner. The food was great everything tasted delicious. Arrived at the table hot , pancakes were delicious, pork chops were amazing everything was delicious. Our server Noel, was friendly, funny very professional stay up with our table made sure we had refills and everything we needed. The restaurant was crowded with families and business professionals. It had a relaxing feel at home atmosphere. If you're over by the mall I recommend checking them out.

I've been to Savannah three or four times now, and somehow I had never tried this place, even…read morethough it's such a staple! I'm so glad I finally got to try it on this trip. We had a group of about 14 girls on a bachelorette trip, and we showed up around 11:00 AM. There was about an hour wait, so we went and walked around for a little bit while we waited. Once we finally got seated, though, our server took care of all 14 of us SO efficiently. He was absolutely running around doing his best! Getting everyone's drinks, taking all of our food orders, and making sure everyone was taken care of. The food came out pretty quickly considering the size of our group, and he was even able to split up all of our checks for us. Overall, the service was amazing. He was great! The vibes inside were really cool, too. We were seated in a corner area where we could see people coming in and out and watch everyone walking by outside the window. There was also another bachelorette group sitting near us, so it made the whole experience even more fun. And then there was my food... SO GOOD. I got the chicken sandwich, and it was HUGE. I honestly don't even think my picture does justice to how much food comes with it. Surprisingly, the fries were really good, too. But the chicken was what really impressed me. Sometimes when you order grilled chicken, it can be super dry, but this chicken was SO tender and juicy. There wasn't a single tough or dry spot. I was full after eating half of the sandwich, but I almost ate the entire thing because I genuinely could not stop eating it! I will absolutely be back here the next time I'm in Savannah!

We stopped by for brunch on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It was not very busy, probably because of the…read morerain and probably because we came for a later brunch. I love that the menu encourages you to try duck in different ways than you may be used to. I don't typically like ordering grilled cheese out since I make a pretty good one myself at home, but the duck grilled cheese called to me. I'm glad I answered because it was delicious! It had the right combo of cheeses, and the caramelized onion gave it that little pizzazz it needed. It went great with the tomato soup. My sister's duck tacos were also very good. They do a great job of cooking the duck well, which I don't think is easy. The bellinis weren't groundbreaking, but they were very fun, since there's different flavors to choose from and they come garnished with a little rubber duck.

These are a must try if you like wings. Chicken and pancake tacos were delicious. Pancakes had a touch of sweetness. Fried chicken inside with a spicy mayo.

One had fried banana peppers. The other side more classic with toppings. Son said it was really good. Others had the ahi tuna salad. Tuna was perfectly rare.

The whole place is designed to feel like the inside of a trailer--spray-painted antique chandeliers, old pictures of different trailer parks, and random little details everywhere. It's kitschy, but very intentional, and honestly pretty cool. We came in late after a 4h drive into town after work, and the staff was still super friendly and accommodating. No "we're about to close" energy, which I appreciated. We started with the creamy collard dip, which is basically their take on spinach-artichoke dip, but with collards. Really good. I do think the chips were a little too heavy for the dip--a thinner chip would've been perfect--but that's a small note. The chicken pancake tacos were probably my favorite. The chicken was fried perfectly and still really moist. And at this point, I'm convinced Savannah just knows how to cook chicken. Everywhere we went, the chicken was consistently good. My partner got the grilled apple pie sandwich, which has fried chicken, grilled apples and bacon. He's not even a big pork person, but that bacon was so crispy and the whole combination just worked. Even the waffle fries were good--crispy, fresh and actually seasoned. We had the Grateful Dead and Wicked Kiwi cocktails, plus a couple of shots, and the drinks were strong, good and reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't have a ton of notes here. It's not trying to be some elevated dining experience. It's just a really good late-night spot with good food, strong drinks, friendly service and a fun atmosphere. We sat inside because Savannah in August was not about to have us sitting on anybody's patio. Definitely recommend, especially if you're looking for somewhere to eat late. It was a vibe, the food was good, and it did exactly what it needed to do.

The atmosphere looked really cool and like a great place to relax, so we decided to sit outside. My only complaint about the outdoor area was the smell--it definitely gave us some New Orleans vibes, and not necessarily in a good way. When we went to say hello to the bartender, the first thing we were told was that we needed to order soon because the kitchen closed at 11. Then our server greeted us by going through everything they were out of, which unfortunately felt like half the menu. Our group still ordered and made the best of it, but the way the experience started definitely took away from it. I completely understand that we arrived late and they were getting ready to close, but maybe instead of starting with "here's what we don't have," it could be presented as, "Since it's late and we're getting close to closing, let me tell you what we still have available." Same situation, but a much more welcoming experience. Overall, the service was okay and the atmosphere inside looked fun. I might give it another try at a different time, but I personally wouldn't choose the outdoor seating again.

Every ingredient complemented the next, creating the perfect balance of savory, smoky, cheesy, and just a subtle kick from the jalapeño.

Been here for both dinner and lunch. All this said, I think my approach to this review is comprehensive. With regard to food, I think they have a decent (not expansive) selection of food, which I think lends itself to quality. They do most things really well. This said, I do think there is inconsistency based on staff at the restaurant. On one occasion they have accommodated a request, and on another I was denied the exact same request. I found this frustrating. On one occasion I've also seen management talk down to staff here, which is a big no no for me. All people (especially staff) are due respect and this rubbed me the wrong way. This was an isolated incident but it definitely made my dining experience uncomfortable. Especially because I was getting excellent service from the server!!! I've always had quality service from servers here. In the future, I would come to Rhett for convenience as a hotel guest (the hotel is lovely), but would likely not spend my money if I wasn't staying at the hotel. Overall- it's good food, decent ambiance... but there are soooo many good options in Savannah. You have to be exceptional to stand out in that city.
