Server Afgani guy got an attitude, he should be more nice to customers. Instead of apologizing for serving burned food to a customer he is showing an attitude. That is not professional and acceptable!! Give them train before letting them start their job!!

This operation has been around Falls Church forever and is a staple for a good breakfast and lunch. The reason I gave four stars is that, for some time now, they have added a nuisance fee to the check entitled "TEMP Inflation". Newsflash to the owners: we all have had to deal with inflation without being able to collect extra money for doing so. The pandemic is over, inflation is under control, and it is time to remove this junk charge.

We have visited this restaurant multiple times and have always been pleased with the food quality and generous portions. It's our go-to spot for satisfying our cravings for a big breakfast. After reading other reviews, we agree that the food can take some time to be served. In terms of the restaurant itself, it's clean, but the decor could be more memorable.

Crepes were freshly made. Though they did not look appetizing, they were surprisingly light and tasty. Hash browns were nice and crispy. Loved them!

I absolutely love these apple pancakes. I was so happy to be visiting in the area. I stopped twice for the pancake within a two week time. ?

Had a delightful experience at Original Pancake House! The egg with turkey sausage was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. The pancake side was decent, nothing extraordinary but satisfying. The notilla crib complemented the meal nicely. Only downside was the wait time for the order, but overall, great food and friendly service.

The quality of the pancakes is unique, the flavor of coffee is super, the pancake syrup is the best, the fruit is fresh all the time, the overall appearance is super clean including restrooms. The serves very polite and the owners super nice. I visit every week. The portions are plenty and they also offer a senior menu and of portions being smaller . The orange is fresh and the chocolate milk is unique and delicious. Great family or eat out. No I don’t order from any place in the area or dc. The huevos rancheros are better than Ted’s a

This is a great place to go for breakfast. The corned beef hash is one of my personal favorites, as well as their chocolate crepes. I haven’t had the Dutch babies yet, but it can be hard to find Dutch babies, so I highly recommend coming here if you are looking to try them. Servers are always so nice and there’s a lot of stuff on the menu. In my opinion, tjr food here sometimes beats IHOP-quality, and IHOP quality is pretty good. ‘

I love this place, and I'm not a breakfast person (but my husband is).We've only ever gone there to have breakfast and like to bring visiting friends/family because the portions are great (sometimes a bit too big).I think my only problem is that it closes early in the afternoon, so I haven't been able to try out some of their lunch staples (which are only served during the week).Honestly, if you are a breakfast person and want a local spot to call "home," this is it!

Terrible experience. Eggs were wet, egg shells in my wife’s eggs and the list goes on. This place is nothing compared to the other locations that we have been to. So sad.

Stopped by on a whim and glad we did. The food was great! Good portions and they have non-pork options and almond milk. Restaurant was clean. They were clearly understaffed this morning which delayed being seated and getting refills and napkins.Parking: Located in shopping plaza so no concerns with parkingWheelchair accessibility: No steps and has ramp way on side walk

Not impressed by this spot. Food all seemed overcooked. Nothing special. Only thing I would go back for is the Dutch baby just because they are hard to find. Service was very disappointing.
