Chocolate chip pancake
Cesar D.

In town visiting family, my son and I stopped by for a quick breakfast at Ye Olde Pancake House. On west 11th tucked back off the main road you will find a very old building, lots of parking and up front parking by the main door for those that may need a little assistance. The staff was very friendly right at the door and through our meal. The decor is very 70's with high ceilings and exposed wood, they have a long bar top next to the kitchen and many booths throughout the building. We went in right when they opened but shortly it start to fill out, it sounded like a lot of locals stop by, you could hear the staff calling the customers by name, it seem like a good family vibe. The food servings are big, the pancakes are huge and great tasting. I had to ask for a separate plate so I could get to my eggs and bacon. Everything was cooked to my request and the staff came around often to check on use. My son had a large serving of chocolate chip pancakes, with eggs and sausage. It was nice to sit in a very nostalgic place.

It has been years since I've been here. They are known for good breakfast style comfort food. We always had a hard time showing up when they weren't packed, the food there is that good. We got lucky this time and showed up in between rushes of breakfast and lunch. We were seated immediately and drinks were brought out. Staff is very pleasant, the tables kept clean and we were acknowledged by the server as she was busy, but able to greet us. As our orders were taken, the Mrs asked for her hash browns to be extra crispy. I went for the Chicken Fried Steak. Somewhere something skipped a beat because her hash browns were not extra crispy, but my Chicken Fried Steak was one crisp biscuit! 8^D. That actually made me laugh because not only was it crispy, the flavor really popped! Tasty, that steak biscuit was! We enjoyed our meals and the service was great, the coffee kept coming. Really good meals with generous portions.

Banana nut pancakes

I've been here twice now and both times I had a good experience. I stopped by this morning for breakfast with my partner and we left feeling full and happy. I got the strawberry waffles with a side of scrambled egg and sausage. I also got a cup of coffee, it was standard diner coffee. The waffles were fantastic - sweet, fluffy, with a crispy edge. The strawberries were sweet and juicy and the whipped cream was tasty. The eggs and sausage were cooked perfectly. My partner got a hot chocolate and the banana nut pancake. The hot chocolate was good and he said the pancakes tasted a bit like banana bread and he liked them and would order them again. Our server was friendly and attentive. We paid the bill as he dropped it off, allowing us to head out and get on with our day quickly. The hostesses were also nice and seated us immediately. The restaurant is your standard breakfast spot - it's not sparkling clean but it is charming and nostalgic. The decor is simple, it's not too loud, and there's plenty of seating and parking. Overall we had a great experience both today and the previous time we visited and will be back again in the future.

Wow! Service Taste Temperature Portion size Everything was pretty great. Hash browns were perfect! I think they do something to the eggs they taste amazing! Everything was brought out HOT! Not slightly warm but actually hot when does that ever happen?

Biscuits & Gravy
Corinne B.

Even though the biscuits and gravy were not exactly what so had in mind, it was still very good. Good customer service. A great, local breakfast and lunch house that's a great staple in Eugene.

Short: It is a beyond average breakfast place for the area. Since there aren't too many like it in Eugene. Visited week of Dec 25th '22. I arrived with my friend around lunchtime. We waited for a brief moment and was seated. Unfortunately, they seated us at a spot where there was hashbbrowns all over the chairs and floor. This was not a good first impression. [Service]: Despite the unclean seats, our waitress was pretty spot on and provided good service. She asked us if we needed anything, offered us many syrups, told us the specials, and continued to offer us coffee. [Food]: I ordered their chocolate chip chocolate pancakes. The description sounded delicious. Chocolate batter and chocolate chips, covered in whipped cream and more chocolate chips on top. The chocolate batter did not really bring the wow factor, I was expecting a more chocolatey taste, like a chocolate cake. It wasn't. I do appreciate the effort. My friend ordered Boysenberry pancakes. This was a unique offering, and they placed a thick syrup with a bit of the berries in it too. The pancakes did not have berries in them. They were plain buttermilk. They are decent pancakes, but nothing too super spectacular about them. Just fluffy and hot! They offer an array of syrups: Maple, Strawberry, and Boysenberry were the ones I sampled. Our drinks were just coffee and hot cocoa. Nothing too specular, either. Coffee was typical house coffee, and hot cocoa was like cocoa mixed with warm milk. Overall, pretty decent pancake house in the area. Nice size pancakes that were hot and fluffy. It is worth stopping if you want some pancakes and not needing extra pizzazz.

Went to the goth night (ghost something?) tonight and it was a blast. The bar is gothic style too…read moreso it's marvelous. I heard it's usually an alternative / low key queer bar, more like mixed to me, which is nice. I know they recently made a change about free events turning into free with a drink purchase, which is reasonable! I've been low to no income, to where $10 is a splurge for me. I never got to go to a free event, but if I can't afford it I just don't go! Gotta keep the lights on, and $5 for a goth night was perfect for me. I had so much fun, the music was sweet and the outdoor area was nice too. The dance floor is small- kinda as big as their bathroom- but very accommodating, everyone seemed to have space to do their own thing. The one thing that did puzzle me is that they had a sign on the bathroom that said woman and then said it was all genders. I feel like maybe just taking the woman sign off would be simple enough. The message seems to just be "no urinal". The bathrooms are clean and plenty of stalls though!! I can't say anything about the drinks or food this time around, just the vibes which are great :) Lots of variety of events here, I'm sure I'll be back!

However, when the bar was open, the drinks tasted extremely watered down and the food tasted like bagged processed food bought from the local grocery store.

Really great fresh food with some interesting combinations. We came here on a whim (no…read morereservations) while visiting my wife's niece at UofO at around noon on a Saturday. Busy but they had a table for us. Very nice decor, rotating menu. We had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas, dates, and pineapple syrup which was sweet but not overly so since the pancakes underneath were not touched by the syrup ended up being a really nice balance. Bacon was like a cross between pork belly and bacon (very thick) but really tasty. Breakfast Sando was good with in-house ground pork and a nice aioli. We also tried the savory macarons (Brie and truffle) which are delicious. Creamy and a tad sweet. Not too much truffle. Coffee was a bright tangy pour over-not my favorite type but some people really like that style. Oh, and we had a blood orange mimosa which was really good Overall an excellent experience! Definitely going to again when we are in town!

Seven years ago, I moved to Oregon with my husband and our two little babies. We had spent nearly…read moreeverything we had to make the move, and my husband immediately had to start traveling for his new job. On our first morning in our new town, we went to The Original Pancake House for breakfast. It was a simple meal, but one we were grateful we could afford. When we asked for the check, our server smiled and told us someone had already paid for it. That small act of kindness made me feel like I truly belonged in our new home. It reminded me that even in an unfamiliar place, there were good people who cared about others. Since that day, every time we visit The Original Pancake House, we make it a point to pay it forward whenever we can. It's our way of honoring the kindness that meant so much to us and has stuck with me. Beyond the beautiful memory, the food is incredible. It's hands down the best breakfast I've ever had. Comfort food that tastes like it's made with love. You must try the Dutch baby! The ladies who work there are always so warm and welcoming, making every visit feel like coming home. Some restaurants serve great food. This one gave my family hope when we needed it most, and I'll never forget that.

The Original Pancake House in Eugene is a charming, family-friendly spot with genuine warmth and stellar coffee. The casual, lively vibe makes it feel like the proper brunch destination you'd hope for from a legendary breakfast joint. We ordered their hero dish--a side of buttermilk pancakes--and the Irish Omelette. The pancakes delivered real flavor: fluffy, tender, with classic buttermilk tang. My only critique? They arrived cool, likely from sitting in the warmth window a bit too long. Off the griddle, these would shine. The Irish Omelette was more disappointing. Designed to be airy and light with corned beef and potatoes inside, ours was overcooked and rubbery--far from the delightful, pillowy texture it should be. For a restaurant with this history, execution should be consistent. The coffee and service were warm and attentive, which goes a long way. 3/5 stars. Worth visiting for atmosphere, especially if your pancakes arrive hot. Try during slower service to avoid the window-sit fate. The Portland location executes at a higher level.
