Original Pancake House

Went to one in our old hometown numerous times throughout 20 years and loved it there. So it was a little bit of nostalgia hitting us. My hubby had the chorizo omelet and the tropical pancakes and loved every bite. I had the «egg supreme (beaters» omelet w/​lots of veggies. I had some great whole grain toast w/​it. A bit burnt, but still good. Coffee and waitstaff were great and the hostess was a doll.
It was a 45 minute trip for us to get there-​but it was a nice treat.

Food was pretty good but the wait for an omelette and some French toast was long, it’s also really small inside

Excellent food and excellent service. Thank you!!! Loved the mandarin crepes and home fries.

Went to try this restaurant after passing it so many time. I tried the ham and cheese omelette and the flavor was great, but the egg on the inside was too watery. The serving size is good. It is pricey for the place and the service was not that great. I also found a strand of my hair in my food so I only ate half of the omelette it was a dealbreaker.

What can I say? This place is hands down my favorite breakfast place. The blueberry waffle blew me away and the crispy bacon was perfect! They have anything you could possibly want for breakfast.

Husbands choice– Hun lets go to this original pancake house in Scottsdale your gonna like it! Okay, Let’s go!
As we were driving towards the fashion mall we were pulling up on the side of Motel 6. I told my husband «ugghhh where we going? Why are we here?» Lol. He says no Hun the restaurant is inside trust me! Lol, ok.
We came inside the restaurant and was greeted immediately but, their nice hostess and the service was nice. The breakfast brunch was not bad at all it was really good tooo good I wanted to go back home and go back to sleep! Lol…

Absolute garbage food. Went here as a local recommended it last night, he must have been drunk as hell. We left our food on the table. 2 bites out of each and we could stomach no more. This must be a regular occurrence there as the staff seemed not to notice the full table of ‘food’. Begrudgingly paid the tab and tipped, as it wasn’t the severs fault the chefs are from Craigslist. I can only imagine that this is what soup kitchens during WWII were like when food was rationed and meals were cooked on the same grill and instead of butter they used axle grease or lard from dead prisoners.
Do. Not. Go. Here.

OMG. Sounding like a teenage girl
I Screeched with Excitement (in my mind)
as this Hill of Fluffiness Arrived at my table.
The Omelette so Light it Seemed to Hover,
Yet Filled to Capacity Inside With
perfectly cooked seasoned and Proportioned
Ingredients. As i took My first Forkful the Ham,
onions.peppers, bacon, Cheese and Eggs
Serenaded my Senses. Light is Right, as the
Pancakes served with the omelette Proved.
This House is better than Home.

This place has been around a long time. It’s a place you must visit while you are in Scottsdale AZ.

I live near this restaurant and always wondered if it was good, on Easter morning I decided to try it out. The food is super bland, over priced and over-​cooked. Does that look like a «ham steak»?? I would have been better off going through a McDonald’s drive thru — disappointing!!!

We’ve been to this long established restaurant many times. The food is great, the waitstaff is awesome. The hostess is rude to the point that this will be our last time here. Luckily we have many great choices for a nice breakfast dining experience.

Don’t get anything but pancakes. They don’t do eggs well, the bacon wasn’t good. Stick with pancakes. That they do well!

Very retro cool dive vibe to it. Waiting in line for breakfast on a Wednesday morning. Pretty clean for an older place. Not cheap. The food is beautiful! The cheese bacon grits are the best grits I’ve ever had and I live in the south!

This is a must for pancakes. My husband loves the strawberry pancakes and I’m a fan of the 49ers and potato pancakes. No frills just good food.

They are in my top 5 spots for a great breakfast. Sometimes the wait can be a little ridiculous but the pancakes make it more than worth it. 49er flap jacks all the way!

Ok food. I have been here 4 – 5 times since I moved here. I like diners and this feels like an old time diner. The food is edible if not great.
Today however will be my last visit. The way I was treated by the hostess made me turn around and leave. I was headed for becoming a regular in spite of the fair to middling food and prices. But she gave me the push I needed to find something better. For these prices, I can definitely do better

We ate here the lady time we stayed at the motel 6 behind it, but last time it was much better. This time I got an omelette, which was crazy fluffy, but tasted like nothing. I pretty much just enjoyed my pancakes, which are pretty tasty. Husband got a different omelette, thought the same. Very unexciting. Fluffy heavenly blandness. Next time, I will get fancy pancakes… I should have known by the name what I should be getting.

Waiting to be seated and the greeter helps someone else cause my wife was on her phone playing a game (not talking) so she helps the next person. Which they said she was rude. So she helps us. But i will report her to the mgr.
Just for the rudeness they get a 1 star forever. .if my food is wrong they will never get and I will remove my star.
Oh one more thing this place hates cell phones. I will place a picture of it. What did I just walk in ?? This is a time warp dimensional! Where cells phones are hated!!! Good lord

Good customer service, good menu, quality eating, so-​so parking. This pretty much sums up my visit to OPH. Although I’ve been to other locations across the country, this one off of E. Camelback is no exception when it comes to quality.
If I had to change one thing, it would be within the parking lot. When you make the left turn off of E. Camelback (coming from Phoenix), you can almost miss this place due to its close proximity to the Motel 6. In fact, I’m certain that Motel 6 sold the OPH property it once owned. The table that I sat at faced the Motel 6’s pool. Not a bad thing, yet this property can be easily missed from the road.
If I were OPH, I would place signage that clearly distinguishes this from the Motel 6. Altogether, a pretty good place to stop by to get some good eating!

Finally made it to the Original Pancake House, never been, but have heard they do carry a selection of different pancakes. I have wanted to check out this place, I host an monthly breakfast club that runs on Sat, and though that this could be a cool place to check out, but when reading the menu it clearly states that they can host parties of up to 30 people, but on WEEKDAYS only, well guess this place is out of the BC loop. When I 1^st walked in a few things hit me
1) Plenty of signs on the door, inside the place and around the place that elude you to believe it’s a cash only place and they have an ATM inside the joint, but on the door it states they take Visa & MasterCard, yep skipped the ATM fee and I ponied up the Visa
2) Did I just go to Miami? The inside of the place is painted as a cool little beach diner, white/​cream and aqua colors, but like a 50’s cool diner, this wasn’t an new place
3) Signs stating to turn off Cell phones, um ok, I understand that in a small room it would be sort of rude to carry on a conversation, but people can text, and well play games, my phone was set to silent and while I was waiting to be waited on I did text & play a game
4) Hope the people around you are friendly because they are sitting just an elbow bump away, but it was ok with us, had a nice couple next to us and he commented on how it’s like dinning on a cruise being close to fellow diners.
5) I being 40 felt like the new kid on the block, so I’m guess my daughter who is 22 felt really young haha
Also, again on being close to everyone you can hear what others are ordering or not ordering, and on the menu it stated that the house specialty is the Apple Pancake, and I was interested in trying it, but overheard another table inquiring about it and they were told it was a 45 min wait for the Apple Pancakes, and it’s not that I was in a rush I just wasn’t into waiting 45 mins to try it, maybe call a head for it?
After checking out the menu, and yes they have a few different types of pancakes, but nothing really wowed me, but I did see a Bacon stuffed pancake and you betcha that’s what I ordered and ordered a side of home fries. The pancakes come with real butter and 2 ounces of syrup, for me that was not enough I like a little bit of pancake with my sweet sticky maple syrup, I did ask for more, but it still wasn’t enough, some/​most of the pancakes were dry, and I don’t like them that way, but the bacon was a thick slice bacon, so very good, bacon and maple syrup is the best combo ever! The home fries looked amazing, but they were under cooked, the potatoes were a little to hard for me.
Service was slow, it was weekday morning, so the place was semi steady, we were not check on to see if we needed/​wanted anything but after 5 mins of getting our food our bill was presented to us and I was told we can take care of that at the front, kind of felt like it was a hurry up eat and get out kind of thing. Glad I finally stopped by to check them out, but even with the few types of pancakes, I’m not sure I’ll be back.
