Nick's Original House Of Pancakes

We stopped in for breakfast and had a wonderful experience. Quickly seated and was greated by a server almost instantly. The restaurant was clean and felt inviting. The orders were large portions and the came out fast and hot. Coffee was filled regularly and wr never felt unappreciated. The dinning area is open and kid friendly. The noise level was perfect and we were able to talk amongst our table wirh no issues. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food. We left feeling good and will certainly be coming back again.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. The French vanilla cappuccino tasted as if it came from a gas station machine (extremely sweet and watery), and pancake batter had a weird cardboard taste to it unless you drowned them in syrup. The syrup was also heated extremely hot and became super runny as a result. Not a fan of boiling hot syrup. The Southwest Breakfast Bowl was decent - good flavor and portion. But overall, probably would not come back for the price. Staff was great and attentive.

Old diner vibe, but clean and updated (sort of like what Waffle House really needs to do.) I fairness, we did not get the pancakes; however, my breakfast bowl, which included homemade corned beef was a little bland for my tastes and the hashbrowns at the bottom were mushy and without the crispy edge of well done hashbrowns. My wife's omelet was better. If you want super fast service in a bright clean, yet still old school diner, it is worth stopping by. Even though it was busy, they flipped tables fast.

Great place for breakfast brunch lunch. Along with regular pancakes, French toast and waffles, they have specials with various toppings and stuffings. Pancakes have a crisp to them like they're supposed to have.

The place to go for amazing breakfast food! The pancakes were super fluffy, eggs were cooked perfectly to order, and the hash browns were creamy and crispy. My friends and I had a wonderful brunch here!

Cozy pancake spot that’s basically your all-purpose diner and pancake house. My girlfriend and I were hungry after attending service and stopped by here for brunch. Pancakes were good, so was the bacon and sausage and very generous helpings of juice. The presentation was pretty basic, but our server was friendly and the prices not unreasonable. I’d return!

I’m not usually a pancake fan, but I tried their pumpkin pancakes inspired by fall, and they were amazing. Perfectly fluffy, flavorful, and not too sweet. The restaurant has a cozy, inviting atmosphere and friendly service. Definitely a must-try for pancake lovers—or even those who usually aren’t!

The food was delicious, presented beautifully, and the service was excellent. We had a large party and everyone's order was correct and the food was hot. I'll definitely return. Candice was very polite and efficient. I love a place where the food and service are outstanding!

The Bad Voodoo skillet, ordered without sausage, was hearty and filling. Eggs were cooked properly. Overall the skillet was a great item that kept us full for an active busy day. The chocolate chip pancakes were fluffy and super satisfying. Sweet but not too overwhelming.

I've known about Nick's for the last 8 years and used to drive by it ALL the time and yet haven't stopped in for whatever reason. I usually see the parking lot pretty crowded on game day! But, I finally stopped in with some friends for breakfast and I'm so glad! Think local diner in the best way - great service, quick food, chill ambience like what IHOP used to be! I had the Big Fella omelette which had sugar cured bacon, sausage, green bell peppers, cheddar cheese. It was a hefty omelette! I paid the $0.79 upcharge for the biscuit (worth it!) and had it would a side of hashbrown. $16.99 for two meals? Not bad! I'll definitely be back!

To start with the positives, the food was good with very generous portions, and reasonably priced (reason for2 star)That being said, the overall experience was lackluster. To start, our waitress was excruciatingly slow and often absent. After giving us our drinks, she took off immediately and didn't return to take our order for nearly 20 minutes. After ordering, we watched others get seated and finish their meals before our food arrived. When we finally got our food, we never seen our waitress again that is until we had to call her attention for the bill. In this time, another waitress came over, and began clearing our plates that we had just started eating. She nearly seemed reluctant to give them back when I objected, I had to explain multiple times that we were still eating. The establishment was not near to its closing time not that's an excuse. Lastly, the restaurant was not very clean, the restroom in particular was quite nasty. Unfortunately, this one falls under not ever being able to have a second chance at making a positive first impression.

my husband said he hates eating here because every other restaurant is a disappointment!! i couldn't have asked for a more deliciously cooked 'Winter Waffle'!!! and his 'Dublin Benny' is the go-to. our server was phenomenal too!

Good ole fashioned pancake house, nothing spectacular but still pretty good...home style cooking

Ambience was as expected and the service was fine, however, the food today was subpar. We have always looked forward to coming to Nick's but today was a disappointment. This left us wondering if there's a new chef or if they modified the recipes. I first ordered the corned beef hash with eggs over easy. I received two flat pancakes of overcooked, crumbly hashbrowns with tiny bits of corned beef. I swapped that out for French toast with two eggs. With both orders, the eggs were fine, but the corned beef hash was missing corned beef, and the French toast was soggy. I didn't swap the toast out because I didn't want to put the server through an ordeal. My husband had a steak breakfast bowl that was fine. If we come back, I'll order more carefully.

I was excited to try this restaurant however, it didn't fully meet my expectations. I LOVE pancakes and when your business name is such, I would expect the best. We ordered the basics of the menu, eggs, bacon, has browns, toast and pancakes. Nothing extraordinary, yet, it was not the best. That being said, the service and waiting time was acceptable. Our server was very polite and efficient. Unfortunately the food was the best. The pancakes were very dense and burned. The pictures tell the rest of my experience. Just for the service alone, Im willing to give them a second chance. My bill for two people with tip was about forty dollars.

We were looking for Sunday brunch for our group of 5 and came across this establishment. Parking lot was full which is a favorable indicator that the food must be good. It didn't disappoint. The breakfast bowls were tasty and filling. The chocolate chip pancakes are really good. Nick's Club sandwich was excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend for brunch!

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Ann Arbor by far. Portions are abundant and the waitresses are always attentive. This is a place to get your classic breakfasts and there's always something unique on the "specials" menu for the holidays and/or season. I love the location of Nicks, and there's always ample, easy parking! Sometimes the A/C is a bit low, so bring an extra layer if you get cold easily.

They have NO Gluten-free options. The others in our party, said the pancakes were very good. Service was attentive and prompt.

Nick's never disappoints! The banana pecan pancakes are soft and tasty, not greasy and fried tasting like so many other places. Nick's is one place that I'll really miss from Ann Arbor.

Busy place on weekends, but they work hard to get people through. Great service. Tentative, fast, yet personable too. I always get a breakfast bowl / scramble when I go. The perfect amount of food where I leave full, yet I don't leave any leftovers either.

Beautiful. This is what diners should all be like. Excellent food, hot coffee, good service. And you can get it all when they are incredibly busy. The blueberry lemon pancakes are a flavor explosion. I had to go with these since they are a house of pancakes, but next on my list is the pecan waffle. As far as savory items go, their gravy is awesome. My eggs were cooked perfectly. You really can't go wrong here. 10/10

Two pancakes, two eggs and two sausage links was $22 before tip. Tasted fine, but more like $10-12. Objectively more expensive than other places within a mile radius.

Came here on a Monday around 11am. Was seated fairly quickly. Both the host and waitress seemed pretty indifferent not mean, just looked like they really did not want to be there. We ordered the deluxe New Yorker, the fat Elvis French toast, and the fruit explosion pancakes. We waited close to 30 minutes, which I thought was a bit long for breakfast. All three dishes were pretty good, the fat Elvis was my favorite loved the bacon, bananas, and peanut butter stuffed in between the French toast. The fruit explosion pancakes were delicious they did not skimp on the fruit. The deluxe New Yorker had a decent amount of corn beef and with the eggs, hash browns, and toast made for a pretty complete meal. All n all a solid breakfast/lunch place.

My family loved dining at Nicks. The Mickey Mouse pancake was a hit with the little ones, and it was delicious! We got the specials, which were also wonderful. Would recommend. Easy going atmosphere, tasty food.

I like Nick's Original House of Pancakes. It's a nice place to get a hearty breakfast or lunch. I like the vegetarian omelette with hash browns it is good. The service is very good and it can fit a lot of customers. The waitress approaches you and checks that everything is good on coffee or anything else. Because it can hold a big crowd, it can get loud, but for the most part it's comfortable.

Food- ordered potato pancakes, Dennie bennie, country fried steak, and Greek omelet. Ordered side of bacon and corned beef hash. We loved everything except potato pancakes. Also, the raisin toast isn't worth the upcharge of $3. Food = 4.5 stars. Kind of expensive for breakfast. Service - poor service. Dirty plates remained and didn't get much needed drink refills. Service = 3 stars. It looks like they're short staffed. Ambiance - typical diner style. Booths are a little small. Ambiance = 4 stars

They gave me a dirty cup that had lipstick on the rim come the drink h ordered was a glass of milk

Fantastic place for breakfast. This will be our go to breakfast place when we visit our son in Ann Arbor!

Food was cold. I ordered cheese on my eggs and they brought it out just thrown on there and told me they would just microwave it. She asked if I wanted them remade so I said yes. They brought them out and the plate was super hot. Everything else on my plate was cold. I think they threw it in the microwave. They looked gross. But the pancakes. They were good. The last time I was here it was good. But today was not good.

We stop for breakfast here usually on Sundays. You can tell this place has good food from the parking lot being full . I usually get the country fried steak or a breakfast bowl. Both are very very good. Their sourdough bread always tastes fresh as well. Service can be iffy. I've had some waitresses with good days and some not but that doesn't keep us from coming back. It's a great place if you're looking for a good breakfast option outside of the city of Ann Arbor.

A decent price for a decent amount of food. Ordered a side of hashbrowns and it came as an entire plate of hashbrowns so I shared. I got the corned beef that is ground with their seasoned hashbrowns it was plenty of food. Did I say you get a lot? Well it tasted okay, service was okay, so overall okay.

Pancakes are so good. Especially the pecan banana. Highly recommend. Fast service and food is always good.

Good food Fast friendly service Good value Great place to go with a group I'll order carry out if I don't have time to dine in the restaurant

Delicious! And always great service. Great Ann Arbor breakfast/brunch spot. Will definitely go again.

Nothing extraordinary from the food or service standpoint. Experience made it feel like a waste of money.

Busy place, but a good one to get a nice breakfast or brunch. Had a good time there meeting family for a late breakfast. (A).

Nick's was hanging out in my bookmarks for a long time. Finally, I made it over one Saturday morning and I'm so happy that I did! We arrived around 8:45. We were lucky that Michigan (Go Blue!) was away, so it was less busy than we anticipated and we were seated immediately. As soon as we sat down, I saw there were three types of hot sauce at the table and I knew that I had found "my place." Our waitress stopped by, bringing waters and I ordered a coffee. Nick's cup-o-joe is typical diner coffee, which I personally love. The menu has so many tasty offerings that I struggled to decide, so I went with one of the specials: That day, a big German omelette. My husband ordered the two egg breakfast. While we waited, we watched ESPN College Gameday on the large TVs hanging from the ceiling. Our food arrived quickly and those portions are huge! I dove into mine with ferocity, eating maybe a little too fast because it was so good! Overall, it was a great morning! In summary, Nick's serves up some seriously hearty comfort food and I can only imagine is a zoo on home game days. I will definitely be back.

Food is so yummy! I had the corn beef hash! It was flavorful!!!! I would so get that again! My brother had the cinnamon swirl pancakes, yummm!!! I like how the pancakes are just a tad crunchy! It's a special taste! Service is good! We got seated fairly quickly!

Great experience here overall. We loved our server, and while it was busy, the wait time wasn't too bad for a Sunday morning. I got the short stack with scrambled eggs and sausage, and it was all delicious. Will be returning! The perfect comforting Sunday brunch.

The West Virginia omelette was so good!!! Sausage, cheese and gravy in the omelette. The rest of our group devoured their food, everyone left happy and with full bellies! Pancakes are top notch, the bacon is cooked perfectly!

We have been coming here for years. The service is amazing, portions beyond generous. You will have to wait on weekends, but it's worth the wait! Try the corned beef hash and waffles!

I love Nick's! I always come here with my family, so it's a pretty special place for me. Each of us always get the Fat Cat (fresh ground sirloin from Knight's Market sautéed with onions and red & green bell peppers, then topped with Cheddar cheese) and we ask for extra crispy hash browns! We sometimes get a French Toast to share too. The portions are generous, so there's always leftovers to take home.

Food was delicious. Best French toast I've found in a long time. Plus they have breakfast sausage links, and I love that. Super friendly, courteous staff. VERY CLEAN restaurant and bathrooms.

Quite literally my favorite place to get breakfast! It's always busy which means the food has got to be good! We've never waited more than 10 mins for our food to be ready.

We had a delicious French toast, special with eggs and turkey, sausage. We found nicks on yelp and can highly recommend this place!

I thought this place was really expensive for what I got. I ordered blueberry pancakes with eggs and sausage and my total came to like 21.00 for breakfast. Maybe I'm just cheap but I was like damn son. Anywho, the pancakes were really yummy but slightly over cooked. Also I feel like if you're gonna be a pancake house you should have real maple syrup. 6/10

Fantastic pancakes. Simple w just the right crisp on the edge. Highly recommend. Bacon was good. Could have been cooked a minute more but I didn't specify. Waitress there at the ready w coffee. Check them out.

Great sandwiches here at Nick's. With a name like Original House of Pancakes they specialize in breakfast but their sandwiches are equally as awesome. Portions are large and the prices are affordable. I ordered the turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich. The turkey was piled high on grilled rye bread. There must've been 6 strips of thick applewood smoked bacon on my sandwich. Fat slices of avocado, lettuce and tomato were adorned on top. The french fries were thick but cooked perfect with a crispy outside and a soft center. My mom decided on the Rueben and was happy with her choice. Juicy corned beef slices, sauerkraut, and melted Swiss cheese were layered on grilled rye. The thousand island dressing was on the side for dipping. With enough food to take half home our bill of $25 was a good value. Next time I want to try the breakfast here.

I've been here many times. The food is good, but the service is slow and unfriendly. They upcharge at every possible opportunity. I'm surprised there's not a coin operated toilet it's so blatant.

Been here many times and Nick's has never disappointed! Many Sweet and Savory breakfast options available.

Pulling in I was unsure, feeling like this would taste like a Denny's or IHOP. But the food was SO good. The eggs Benedict was delicious (and my husband can be quite picky about his eggs Benedict), and I had the pecan banana pancakes and they were stupidly good. It is not going to feel like a bougie breakfast but it will be casual (perfect for kids) and REALLY delicious breakfast food.

Brunt toast, Brunt hash browns , Overcooked omelette! This meal should not have been plated. I hate when a business doesn't care about the quality of what the customer is paying for.

I've been going to Nicks for so many years now and I just realized that I don't have a review on them. Well I've been going for years so clearly I love them. I'm not going to lie and say they are the most amazing breakfast restaurant in the world, but I give them credit for always being friendly and always being consistent. I always get the classic egg bennies with extra hollandaise sauce and every now and then I'll get the biscuits and gravy. Both of which are delicious! Everything I've ordered here I have enjoyed, minus one thing... the pancakes. Which is ironic because "house of pancakes" I'm not a huge fan of their pancakes. They're dense and not very flavorful, but everything else here, I love!

The food and service was great! Also family friendly atmosphere. Will be going again soon, highly recommend.

Delicious and huge portions! Seemed pricey at first but once we received our meals - the pricing makes sense. You can easily split most any breakfast and be more than full.

Ordered fruit explosion pancakes and came out incredibly soggy.. table was sticky and unclean and syrup was on the floor where my shoes were sticking. Really wanted to like this spot but food was mediocre at best and the restaurant simply wasn't clean. My husband took our daughter to the bathroom to change her and no changing table he had to change her in his lap. Not supportive of single fathers or LGBTQ parents. When I brought this concern up to my server she 100% dismissed my concern as "not a big deal" and was extremely rude. Overall really disappointed.

An array of choices. Very filling and each item was yummy. Our waitress was sweet and speedy! Family oriented diner style. Defly recommend!
