There are not a lot of positives to say. Food was average, and service was so so.

Well, I usually go to either the Yorba linda location or the Whittier location which is the best. In my opinion there’s sourdough pancakes are so Kraev specially at the Whittier location and they carry those delicious.They also carry the delicious hashbrowns and not all locations carry, which is very disappointingThe orange location is not as clean and service isn’t as good as Whittier California

Regrettably, the combination of small portions and unpleasant taste, and the lack of acknowledgement from the waiter has led us to the decision not to return to this location. We hope this feedback contributes to improvements for future patrons.

Went here with my brother and friend around one on a Sunday, and it was not packed. We often go to the one on Lincoln Ave, but the wait list for that location can vary from 30 minutes to an hour. Overall, I was happy with my visit to this Original Pancake House location. I had the eggs Benedict with buttermilk pancakes, and the eggs were prepared perfectly. The pancakes weren't as good as the Lincoln location, but they weren't bad, still very tasty and soft. The service was fairly quick, and our waiter came and refilled our drinks several times while we were there. The atmosphere has photos of the historic Original Pancake House on the walls and shelves with their signature mugs in them. Still, it's a good alternative for those who want to enjoy the Original Pancake House without the wait.Parking: The parking lot is in a shared complex with many other stores. Plenty of spaces to park.

The Swedish pancakes are amazing and this place has some of the best bacon ever! Nice thick cuts that are perfectly crisp. The portion sizes here are pretty good. I always have left overs or don't finish. The omlettes are huge.

There is a reason this place almost always has a wait, and no one cares. Because its that good. And their Apple smoked bacon? OMG!If you have never eaten at an Original Pancake House, treat yourself and go! They take breakfast serious, and they have large portions at fair prices, and they are laser focused on you being satisfied when you leave.We've eaten at the Orange and the Anaheim stores many times, and we've never been let down.

waitress suggested famous apple pancake.Told us order was delayed because cook forgot the sugar.Finally got our order and brown sugar topping was burned from being under the broiler too long. Apple slices appeared out of a can. Pancake appeared undercooked and soggy. Horrible mess. Ordered side of bacon thick and hard to chew. Not fresh and crisp.Will go elsewhere.

Where's the Dutch Baby? Otherwise nice clean place that has gone beyond a broken in look and is approaching broken down. Time to paint and update. Maybe some more pics on the wall wouldn't hurt.

My favorite thing to get here is the full stack Swedish Pancakes. It is one of my favorite things to order. The service was decent but slow. I think it's because they had a help wanted sign and needed more people to work there. They also can work on the interior design. But this place overall is good. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Always busy but the waitstaff are kind and the Yelp waitlist is handy. Solid American breakfast items. I like something savory with a little bit of sweet on the side and they've got plenty of options for both. We rolled ourselves out of there as happy campers.

Absolutely love coming here for breakfast food. From the omelets to the pancakes and the crepes, you cannot go wrong. I love coming here to indulge in all my favorite breakfast foods. And of course coffee, refills included.

The absolute most disgusting thing i have ever been served at a restaurant. Inedible spinach and mushroom crapes. Tried to call the server over to take it off the bill, was ignored. Paid but never, ever again. I’m a former cafe owner and would not have let a customer leave with that experience. Revolting.
