| - The name "Original Pancake House" suggests that it's a pancake house. That is correct. I think you would be remiss to come here for anything besides pancakes, although they do a few other things besides pancakes here. Are they good? Yes, more or less. Are they better than what the ordinary American can make at home? Maybe. Their pancakes are pretty big and fluffy and good, and at least coming here means no dishes to do at home. But I was not blown away by the food or anything else. When I came, there was a massive line outside. Luckily I was a party of one, so I could slip in and get a seat at the counter, but best of luck to you if you're a party of two or more people. The place dresses itself as a diner of breakfasts, although I was disappointed at what I felt was a somewhat short menu. I got three pancakes with eggs (I did over easy) and a sausage patty. They were OK. That is how they were neither offensive nor remarkable enough that "OK" is all I can garner to describe them. And for pancakes, this place is not cheap. Finally, it took them a while for them to get my check.
Yelp defines three stars as "A-OK". That is exactly how I would describe this establishment. A-OK doesn't mean that this place is bad, it just means that I won't be regaling my friends about the meals here. A-OK is something that you do when, with three kids in the back of the minivan after soccer practice, you and your spouse want to go somewhere where the kids can have a simple and yummy meal without fuss. In my book, IHOP is A-OK. Target is A-OK. Feel free to judge this place as you wish, but I give it a solid "Neutral".
