| - My visit here started off badly when the host took the name of the two women behind me before he took mine. Being a gemtleman (stop laughing!), I didn't dispute it. It was crowded on this Saturday morning but the wait was surprisingly short. The ambiance was cozy and family style and the noise level fairly high. My server was a sweet and friendly and very efficient young woman. The coffee was quite good. My cup was kept full by a variety of servers. I wonder if that's the norm or if it was just because I was seated next to the coffee machine. The menu of pancake flavors was very tempting, but I opted for the Farmer's Scramble because I prefer the protein. The ingredients in the scramble were satisfactory but overall it lacked seasoning. Since this is called a pancake house, I knew I had to choose the buttermilk pancakes to go with the scramble. They were good, but nothing spectacular. Looks like I'll have to return for some of the more exotic ones to make that determination. One of the things I wish more of these breakfast places offered is grits as a side dish. I've taken a liking to them but of the places in town, only Cracker Barrel and Taffies (huge portion) offer them and I'll not be returning to Taffies. But I digress. The Original Pancake House was a pleasant experience and comes recommended.
RETURN VISIT: Enjoyed a nice breakfast there this morning. The place was packed but free coffee is provided for those waiting. Was seated and waited on immediately. Couldn't choose between the Farmer's Omelette or the special Pumpkin Pancakes until the server told me that for an extra fifty cents I could replace the standard buttermilk pancakes that accompany the omelette with the Pumpkin ones. Sold! As with last visit, my coffee cup was kept filled. The food was quite good with the omelette being very big. It needed more seasoning and texture but sufficed. The Pumpkin pancakes were delicious and I hope they keep them for awhile. This place will become part of my breakfast rotation, replacing the now anathema Sammy's.
UPDATE and MORE KUDOS: This has become one of my two favorite places to go for breakfast and I am here three times a week. From the owner to the managers, hostesses, wait staff, and busboys, everyone is friendly and efficient. A favorite waitress takes care of me and everyone treats me with courtesy, friendliness, and respect. But I am not alone. I can see that the staff here treats everyone well. The food is great. I have my set choice but have also tried all their pancakes and have never been disappointed. Favorites are the potato, bacon, and Swedish ones. Starting in October they have their pumpkin pancakes which are delicious, especially with the apple syrup my waitress introduced me to. I have been having my pancakes with bacon and eggs lately and the bacon is cooked to perfection. Being a regular, I also see many familiar faces on a consistent basis. That says something. When people keep returning, something good is going on. I wish everyone at OHP continued success. This is an unsolicited and unpaid testimonial. Unfortunately, no free pancakes were given in exchange for this review.
