Don't judge a book by it's cover.
The Original Pancake House flanks the end of a strip mall and sounds like a chain. While that may be the case, it just doesn't feel like a chain for some reason. Inside it is cozy, cheerful and clean. It's always packed with locals and the service has always been great.
The menu is extensive and portions are huge. I've been here multiple times and each time I go, I try and order something new. Everything on the menu looks amazing and I haven't been let down yet.
