I have lived in Madison for nearly 5 years and for some reason I always wrote Original Pancake House off as a sub-par or generic chain of breakfast places like Denny's, but man...this place does it right.
I ordered the 49er Flapjacks because so many other people have raved about them on here, and holy crap...how is it possible for pancakes that big to be so delicious!? Absolutely the best pancakes I have ever had.
Other highlights were the perfectly crispy hashbrowns, the thick cut and perfectly cooked bacon, and constantly refilled cup of tasty and locally roasted coffee.
The only negative was that it was incredibly busy and had a 45 minute wait before we sat down. The great service and the fact that our food came out in less than 10 minutes after ordering made up for that, though.
I will definitely be back soon!
