Edit to add: Got Swedish pancakes to go this morning. Such a treat!! One of the most challenging things is choosing just ONE entree from the menu.ORIGINAL POST: I havent been here in quite awhile because the weekend wait can be gnarly. The food is still as great as I remember it. Basted eggs. Swedish pancakes. Dutch baby. Good coffee. The waitstaff is friendly and professional. The food is prepared quickly but perfectly.But, this restaurant has been totally ruined for me because they remodeled the interior. It used to be this funky orange/brown/gold 1970s time capsule. It was special because it was like eating at a blast from the past. A warm, friendly cocoon.Now its this bland tan/beige/blue cold, noisy, sterile environment. Horrible. What was unique, charming and specific is now a generic public space. I could be in any random fast casual restaurant or doctors office. Its like they purposely tried to make it as bland as possible. I cant myself coming back here again. Its just too boring. Its like showing up at Disneyland and both Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion are closed. Meh.
Decent pancakes, delicious bacon. We ate outside so the food was served in to go containers, so that was the only downside. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bananas on the top.
This is a decent small chain of breakfast restaurants. The portions are large and the food is good, but pricey. This location has recently been remodeled and looks nice. My biggest issue is with the kid’s menu. If you have kids, ignore the kids menu entirely. If you have only one kid, a half portion makes sense I suppose, but you pay more for the half-sized portion and it doesn’t even include a child’s drink. Someone needs to seriously rethink this portion of the menu. Just stick to the regular menu and have the kids share. I enjoyed the 49er flapjacks. They were smooth and tasty. The coffee is your Denny’s diner quality level. The place is a bit loud and usually very crowded, with wait times, but we were seated quickly. Other than the issue with the kid’s menu prices, it was a good dining experience.
Good pancakes 🥞 , great blueberry waffles, topped with good service in Aliso Viejo, CA. the place closes at 2pm. It’s usually packed on weekends. Plan for more of 30 minutes of wait. It’s a great experience. You will like it. Alexa is the best.
A favorite of our family from when we lived in the OC. Met friends and enjoyed vegetarian omelette. Great service, large generous portions, and fresh.
My wife and Sister in law and my there today good service our server and the Waite staff was friendly and polite food was good. My family and I will be back
Had my first American breakfast at this famous pancake restaurant. Wow..... terrific food and so much of it! Served by the lovely Tyler! Overall a great experience! (Think Ill be missing out on lunch today!)
Great dining experience. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Our server was very attentive and did an excellent job. Will be back again.
Amazing breakfast place in South OC. It’s certainly a classic place to bring the family on the weekend.The favorites are definitely the potato pancakes, the apple pancake and the specialty egg dishes like the corned beef hash.There will be a wait on the weekend but it is definitely worth it!
I just paid $15.50 for an apple pancake that was basically just EGG. I tried calling back to see if they could fix it and after 7 tries, no one answered the phone. I have been getting the apple pancake since i was 13 years old, i am now 35. I have never had one so bad, this is disappointing. There was barely any apples and ZERO brown sugar glaze. Its even the color of eggs. I was excited there was an Original Pancake house so close to me, sad to say i will not be coming back. What a shame.
The original pancake house is a overall very good restaurant. Great for families and small groups alike. It can be quite busy at times but is typically worth the wait. They use their own blend of coffee reasonably high quality. Their pancakes and omelettes are quite fluffy. But some of their waffles are deflated. As such, this restaurant is quite good, but has its flaws and definitely earns a solid four stars.
What a huge disappointment to find this “once” great Original Pancake House a dismal failure. I went there with 4 others & ordered each person’s long standing favorite menu items. Each & every entree was unrecognizable, and also very bad. Also noticed there so few other customers which was unusual for this place that was always a mob scene. I don’t know if the whole chain has been bought out & totally changed? I know I won’t risk another horrible meal at any other restaurant with this name! Don’t go to this one or you will regret it.
Love coming here, hard to make up your mind what to order. Everything is delicious!!! Love the new look as well and staff is friendly.
A long time favorite of my husband and I. Food is always great. Large portions are aways appreciated. Although its always busy to when your waiter comes buy make sure to tell them everything you want. You might not get another chance.
We have been wanting to stop as a family at Original Pancake house for some time now, but usually the wait was too long for our toddler. Ended up going this last weekend and the food and service was amazing. If going, be sure to go very early or plan for a long wait. Great for families.
Very good, too much food. Nice ambiance, waiter was a bit English challenged but otherwise a pleasant breakfast
The service was ok, the food was not anything too special, they do not offer breakfast combos and their coffee was actually pretty bad. We were a party of 4 and out total was $65, we didnt order any extras just something for each one so not the best prices either...I dont think I would want to go back
Pancakes don’t taste like buttermilk pancakes, they’re very dryTheir Hollandaise sauce is weirdEnglish muffin isn’t good
We got there at 7am and had the luxury of not waiting so long for a table (peak hours start after 8am). The wait staff is always great and you get great portions for your money. Our favorite is the apple pancakes and the mushroom omelette. We make sure we go here at least once a month.
Amazing breakfast is here!!! Their cheese omelette is this giant puffy half sphere and their blueberry pancakes are something out of this world.

2022-05-22Ive never had a breakfast so big and delicious in a long time. We had a 20 minute wait but it was worth it. It was fast, delicious, every dish was well made. The crepe had so much fruit in it and the right amount of Nutella. The western omelet was perfectly made with lots of veggies and súper fluffy. And the apple pancake was so yummy like a apple pie but better. I recommend this so much. And also the waiter was so friendly and was attentive with us.

2022-06-05I thought I took more photos than these but I scarfed down that cup of freshly squeezed orange juice too quickly... so heres a photo of my husbands cup of juice behind the sauces.I ordered the blueberry waffle with a side of bacon strips, and the hubby got the eggs michael. We both finished everything since it was that good! The blueberry waffle syrup was PERFECTION. Not too sweet, and still had that refreshing fruity taste unlike most syrups.The staff was also super friendly and gave off a warm, comfortable vibe. Feels like home dining here and food tastes home made (but better since I cant cook to this level at home lol)!Came here on a Friday morning for brunch so the wait wasnt bad (about 15 minutes). Be prepared for a long wait on the weekends!

2022-03-23This place is decent but the service could definitely be better. You have to ask for things several different times before they are brought to you. Coffee is way overpriced especially if the server doesnt refill your cup until youre done with your meal despite asking multiple times. Probably wont be back.

2022-06-13Visiting family, we ate here twice. I enjoyed a traditional egg combo the first visit and then tried the pecan pancakes. Both meals are excellent. My suggestion is split the pancakes it was impossible to clean my plate. I will be back.

2022-04-10Massive, quality fair. This place never disappoints. I always make sure to get the in-house made corned beef hash. I havent been able to find a better hash. I have looked. Since I first tried it here 18 yrs ago, I have looked. I brought a friend today, it was his first time. Hes hooked. He said hes coming back. The hours of this place is short. There is always a line, but I have never waited longer than 45 mins. Please believe me, its worth the wait. This place also has a knack for making you feel like youre home. Welcome home, sit, eat. How was your day?

2022-02-20OMG! Best brunch place. For food I would give 5 starts!! Service could have been better- longer wait time time one thing but rushed service is another, just kills the buzz. But otherwise FOOD was GREAT!!! One of the Best pancakes, waffles and omelette we ever had. 🧇🥞🍳

2022-03-23I went there yesterday first time with my friend to try y out the pancakes..We ordered gluten free blueberry pancakes and added bananas on the top.The service was good but the pancakes were not good at all.. They were super thin, blueberries were very small( couldn’t taste the blueberry) and very expensive! I would never go back to original pancake house!

2022-06-10An OK original pancake house. The pancakes tasted off. The service is great and its really clean inside, but the food was just meh. There are better ones like the one in Anaheim.
