Original Pancake House

If you asked for my opinion the food was all right, I don't think the food is any better than a average diner that cost much less. But the service and environment was great. Don't get me wrong the food is good but it wasn't amazing. Would I go back? No. going there once it's good enough.

Could not say enough about the food and service. Our waitress handled a party of 15 flawlessly. Constantly checking in and double checking everything is okay. Our food was equally as great. The oven baked omelette were jaw dropping. Highly recommend this place.

I can say that it was one of the best experiences in my life. The staff’s reception was beautiful in a way that I cannot describe. They were very nice. We ordered 3 things and they brought us 3 for free. The food was very delicious and the waiter’s suggestions were the best. The waiter : Diego The manager : Mary

Love it here! Been going since they were in Fort Lee and though I don’t love the location as much, their food and service is what keeps me coming back all these years!! The hosts and servers are always so efficient and kind and the food is consistently Phenomenal!!!!

Hands down one of the best breakfast places we have been to. The food , coffee, and OJ! What a great meal. Our server was great , so attentive to what we needed and checked on us. He was also so friendly and we laughed w him a lot during our visit.

Original pancake house literally serves the best pancakes in all of bergen county. I've been coming here for over 5 years and the quality and taste hasn't changed one bit. I love bringing visitors and friends who stop by the area bc of how good these damn pancakes are! Highly recommend

The pictures I provided are of my leftovers but I felt like taking pics so the Pancake House is aware of my satisfaction. First things first, their bottomless coffee is one of my favorite things I love about the Pancake House. You can request any milk of your choice on the side steamed, foam, extra foam whatever way you like it they will do it with no hesitation. The food and fruits are always fresh and most importantly it tastes of good quality. I love how you can take a coffee to go as well which is included in the bottomless deal. The food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS, cooked well, and made perfectly by the chefs. The inside of the restaurant has a rustic, modern, floral vibe to it. ( I do miss the old location and the old-school vibe it had when it used to be in Fort Lee but I understand restaurant's progress into being better). The service is outstanding! The servers always look groomed and well-put together, they have common sense, and they are polite and friendly. The uniform they wear is cute too. Many restaurants should take notes on this establishment because they know how to run a business. Nevertheless, this restaurant is the best breakfast/brunch spot in Bergen County. I love the Pancake House!!!!!!! 🥰❤️💕😘

Had the Fresh Fruit Pancakes (F: 6 pancakes) & added Nutella for $2. Total came out to $17.59 after tax and before tip. The waitress was lovely and offering different kinds of water (hot water, room temp) when I shared I have a slight cold and would like warmer temp water. The taste was great and the pancakes were nice and fluffy. I’d like to try the crepe and flapjacks next time :) They seem to close at 3pm on weekdays! And there are plenty of parking available at the plaza. Will likely return again

Not bad great breakfast. Good people work there. I've been there before and I went back because it was worth it.

We wanted to grab some pancakes and were looking for a family friendly restaurant in the area. We decided to give this place a try. We had a great experience... were seated right away, our waitress was so nice and made sure that we were comfortable. Great menu and the food was really good. The pancakes were soft and fluffy and everything we ordered was delicious.

Heard that the portions were on the larger side so decided to share among friends. Ordered the vegetarian omelette and it was indeed stuffed with mushrooms, broccoli, onions and Swiss cheese. It's baked and looked like a fat egg calzone. I think I would have liked it more without the cheese. It filled me up quickly and I feel I would have eaten more without the cheese. We also ordered the fresh fruit crepes. The topping was strawberries, blueberries and bananas. It comes with a side of mini pancakes. Usually not a fan of pancakes but these were chewy and not mushy and I actually liked it. Server was great - hats off to Island!!! Friendly and full of good conversation. Very attentive and a big smile! Place was clean. Make a note that this is a brunch house so it closes at 3p. All in all a good experience.

Really chill place with amazing pancakes, which were light, fluffy and yummy! Server was super nice and attentive. Will definitely come back.

i'm have been coming to this location for more than three years, and this is almost every weekend it has consistently been good . today we were seated close to the open kitchen. I noticed a prep person making whipped cream fresh from heavy cream and a large mixer. I observed him cutting fresh mushrooms, and other vegetables by hand I saw stacks of potatoes I saw large stacks of egg crates and this just confirmed that everything that I was eating and being served could not be any fresh er and nothing was frozen or prepackaged. My only comment otherwise would be that there Canadian bacon and regular thick, sliced bacon we're a little too salty from my taste. Otherwise, I very highly recommend this location for a great breakfast treat

The second I walked into the restaurant someone came to help seat me and my mom down, the service was quick and helpful. They were also very friendly, coming to check up on us. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very clean and overall gorgeous. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful. I also did try the garden Dutch which was also very good. Overall loved everything, will be coming back.

Such a cute interiors and food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I had to order the mini pancakes again because it was so good I've craved it for more!! Nice brunch place around the town. Goes well along with cups of coffee :) must try!! became my favorite brunch place!!! BEST PANCAKES!!! 100%

My family's go-to breakfast/brunch spot. Have tried several dishes on the menu and every time it's fresh and delicious! If you're looking for a sweet plate, highly recommend the fresh fruit pancakes. Our favorite server, Octavio, is always extremely attentive and kind. Always exceptional service from him. This place builds quite a line on weekends but it moves along quickly and it's worth the wait!

I have been going here for many many years even when they were in fort Lee. The food is excellent! Love the pancakes, whipped cream, bacon, omelette, coffee (medium or dark choices) the hot is better than the iced though. Iced is not strong enough. Great menu selection. Service is really good. Quality of food is great. Place is nice inside. Nice decor and spacious. Prices are fair. Overall one of the better breakfast/brunch spots around.

So I was in the mood for pancakes today and I wound up at the original pancake house. I was talking to a friend and I mentioned another pancake place in the area and they told me that I needed to check out this place. They said that the pancakes are, definitely on point. So here I went to give them the pancake test. And let me tell you they did not disappoint at all. The pancakes at the original pancake house were definitely better. I ordered some pancakes and eggs and they satisfied my craving. The pancakes were not super huge, but a perfect size. They were light and fluffy. Definitely not super thick. Which was fine with me. Great flavor. They were just perfect. And the eggs were scrambled perfectly. They were not burnt, which is what I don't like. They were just perfectly scrambled. I did want some toast with my meal at the same time, but they must have missed that request. so the toast came out a bit late. By that time I had finished my pancakes and eggs. Besides that everything was great. Service was on point. The venue itself was beautifully decorated with florals. Very nice dining area. it was average. A bunch of patrons and enjoying themselves, conversing. So if you're looking for some really good pancakes, I definitely suggest that you visit the original pancake house. You can thank me later for that. Have a great one y'all ! -Ray

Pancake house never disappoints! They are opened on July 4th with limited hours. I ordered an omelette with onion, tomatoes, avocado and cheddar cheese with a side of little pancakes. The omelette was gigantic! Pancakes were buttery and delicious. Husband had his usual, sunny side up eggs, sausage links, and home fries with a side of toast. Solid breakfast spot! Always a wait, but it usually goes by fast.

Great service and even greater pancakes! The ambiance was definitely busy at 10am on a Friday. Felt like a Saturday at 11am with how packed it was. The menu is LARGE and can be overwhelming with soo many options. Nonetheless I knew what I came for and that helped lol I had the walnut banana pancakes and wow 3 large pancakes plus sides! I was full for pretty much the whole day. If you have a sweet tooth this is definitely the place for you with all the wild pancake creations and toppings. Would like to go back and try other unique creations and non-bkfast options too! It was worth the hype. Bill was about $50 for 2 orders of pancakes, sides

- BYOB, and they provide the wine glasses - no reservations - although there was a line there was fast turnover on a Saturday afternoon - regular pancakes are phenomenal - super large portions - dutch apple pancake is huge very egg forward going to feed me three times it did not have great reheat value - alright potatoes - delicious thick cut bacon - strawberry orange juice FTW! - hot chocolate is great and has great presentation - good lattes - sunny environment - family friendly - great staff

I love this place specifically for the coffee and one dish I always order: original skillet. The service is also amazing every time. Would recommend!

Updated review: Had pancake house again recently twice and definitely enjoyed it more this time around. Tried the breakfast combo, apple dutch, and skillet. While the breakfast combo isn't the most interesting of photos, they make some solid well cooked bacon. Potatoes overall at this place are good and portion sizes are big. I would definitely say this is my goto brunch place in the edgewater area. Would not suggest the chicken and waffles

The place is nice, and if you come early you can avoid the queue. The stuff is kind, service is fast. I love the pancake and even the smaller portion is more than enough to feel full.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and ended up waiting around 30 minutes to get seated (party of 2). I got the apple pancake, which was so large and came out warm. You could tell it came straight out of the oven. The pancake was covered in this sweet and delicious glaze. I absolutely loved this dish and would come back just for this. Saw a lot of people around me sipping on the orange juice. Seems like that is a popular drink from here so I'd definitely want to get that next time. Interior is very cute. Love all the flower decorations. Bathroom is clean as well.

We visited this place on our way to a tournament. The wait wasn't too long and the food came out quick. The pancakes were delicious. The potatoes lacked flavor but would still return.

Delicious brunch food in Edgewater! It's a classic for a reason! The pancakes are supple, sweet and a treat! The fruit syrups are homemade and great. They have blueberry, strawberry and banana! But if sweet isn't your thing, my favorite savory treats are the home fries and corned beef. I tried the Original Skillet for the first time the other day and it was massive! There were so many home fries mixed with bacon, avocado and eggs over easy. Tasted great! They have gluten and vegan friendly pancakes that are not clearly listed on the menu. They are tucked in a small word bubble in the corner. Also, most of their dishes are made with peanut oil, which is only in the fine print as well. The service was quick. And the ambiance is casual. Prices are on the pricey side, but given the portions, they are not too bad. The wait was lengthy on a weekend, brunch time. There is a line for 1-2 diners and then another one for larger parties. No reservations. Looking forward to trying something new next time! tldr food 4/5 service 4/5 ambiance 4/5

I had an enjoyable experience at the original pancake house. It is spot on. First, the Kona Hawaiian coffee is so good! Not many places have Kona coffee, so that was impressive. The service was good. The Dutch garden dish was delicious. The mini pancakes were very good. I would definitely be back.

I love this place and their food is amazing good. The natural juice blow me out of this world the strawberry and orange delicious. My favorites are their pancakes. It's usually crowded because of how good the food is. Great service too

Nice restaurant with generally good and reliable food. I personally don't think they are mind-blowing but they are one of the rare restaurants that open as early as them and that offer as many options. The service is pretty good. My only complaints are: their coffee is surprisingly bad. The coffee ground they advertise is pretty good, so my guess is they don't know how to brew the coffee and it's always burnt. Plus they should consider creating some shade for the tables outside and stabilize those tables. Finally, they should add more protein options other than ham/pork/bacon.

Came here to a packed restaurant and a line that moved surprisingly pretty fast. This spot was recommended by a friend and I can see why. You can smell the sugar in the air. I ordered a full stack of Chocolate Chip Lovers Pancake ($16). Don't even need the syrup to enhance the flavoring, that's how sweet this was and that's in a good way for you chocolate lovers. My gf got the Strawberry Dutch ($16). We both never had a dutch baby before, so this pretty unique to us. Has the distinct egg taste. The lemon butter glaze that came on the side I found didn't really do much besides make the food more fatty with the butter. The strawberry did enough to add the sweetness. The only thing I would say could improve upon is the service. I had ordered coffee and trying to get someone to refill my coffee was a bit of a struggle. Other than that, this is a spot I'd stop by again for breakfast.

We came on a Saturday morning and it was so packed. I believe they don't take reservations so be aware of long wait times. The food was okay nothing out of the ordinary. The Orange juice is freshly squeezed which I love and I really enjoy. The restaurant is family friendly. The server was very kind and patient because we had 4 little ones. Kevin was a great server!!

Came here on back to back days during a vacation with my family. This place is an absolute hitter. Everything fresh. You watch them squeeze the oranges for the orange juice and make everything in the kitchen. The caramel macchiato if you like creamy tasty coffee. The chocolate chip pancakes fire. The pumpkin pancakes fire. The only thing I didn't love was the lemon sauce for the Dutch baby. But if you love lemon you'll love it

Downright amazing-best breakfast ever Pancakes hands down make the Brownstone's taste like cardboard What was Guy Fieri thinking ??? Scrambled eggs were perfect Actually light and fluffy not like a plain overly browned omelette Even the sausages were excellent Only next time I need to ask for split and well done Service was on point -couldn't have been better-staff knowledgeable and friendly Best is the space is large yet inviting Can't wait to go back Looking forward to trying the Eggs Benedict

Pancakes so good. Western omelette so good. Flapjacks so good. Skillet so good. Bottom line, food, service, ambiance, price; everything exceeded my expectations. We'll definitely be back.

Even though it is always crowded the wait isn't usually very long. The food is delicious, our server was very attentive. Please put up a shade to block the sun in the front windows. It's very uncomfortable trying to eat with the sun beating down on you. I kept moving my chair to get out of the sun. I saw a guy put his hood up to block the sun.

My boyfriend and his family always go here because they swear by it. I came for the first time the other week. They don't take reservations and at first it looked like a long and scary line but to my surprise the line went by very fast. I got the California omelette which was huge. It was very good and I enjoyed it! Their freshly squeezed orange juice is actually freshly squeezed and was very good. Our server was very nice and it was super busy! I definitely recommend it here!

Everything was fantastic, the food and service, but when you have to pay. If you have the chance, pay with cash, because they have a credit card service charge. Which I get, and they have on the front door, but who's going to read a paragraph before walking in? Plus, it's covered on my receipt so I didn't see it either. I'm not going to even show photos of food because that just left a sour taste in my mouth.

The original pancake house was me and my fiancées favorite breakfast place in the area. The vibes were always amazing with a happy atmosphere and music playing. The service was always quick and the waiters/waitresses always so kind and helpful. And the FOOD the food, never disappoints. The banana chocolate chip pancakes are some of my favorites ever, and if you're in the corn beef hash mood that is also one of their best dishes. This restaurant is a must try!

Great food, and great service! Would recommend it to everyone! Great for Family and Birthday celebrations!

It's good to be home and my brother loves this place so I'll do whatever he tells me, that's how much I love that boy! I ordered a turkey bacon egg and cheese sandwich which was delicious, their omelets are insanely big, like a 5lb omelets which unless you're bulking up, it's unnecessary lol. I love how they decorated the place, they added flowers all over the place. The staff was friendly, make sure you go hungry, you've been warned lol.

Came in around 12:30 pm and got seated within 10mins! We loved the ambiance and the service was super friendly and welcoming. They even had us try the blueberry buttermilk pancakes on the house because we have never tried it! I loved their coffee mugs & coffee too. I'll definitely be back for another brunch date

Very cute inside, good service, decent food. VERY packed on the weekends and parking can be hard to find. I like to go during the week when it's less packed. I always end up coming back here for breakfast.

Delicious breakfast! I love the french crepes here and the service is good. Helpers look that they're happy here

Huge disappointment! This is supposed to be a pancake house but yet the pancakes were not good and food was served cold. Skip this place as there are better quality places to eat.

This place was awesome. Good food, good coffee (including the coffee cup its a must buy). We had the Apple Pancake, hash brown eggs, potatoes and pancakes and more. Would definitely recommend. When we went the wait was a little long but inn the end it was worth it.

Always always a winner. Best breakfast place by far. Never ever disappointed. Have the hash!!!

Many years ago, I went to an Original Pancake House in Minnesota, so I was delighted to find one in Edgewater. Busy at 8am on a holiday weekend, but I got seated right away. I couldn't pass up the pumpkin pie crepes as we enter the fall season, and , wow these were a hit! Plentiful serving so I get to enjoy these again at home. Note that they are charging a service fee for credit cards.

The best pancake place around! Every dish is amazing and great Hawaiian coffee! It's our favorite breakfast date. High recommend.

This place never disappoints. The food is always top notch, staff is always friendly, and the vibe is laid back. Definitely my go to spot for a satisfying breakfast. Everything about this place is spot on.

i've been here a couple times. the food is always good. there is always a wait but line goes pretty fast. love coming here to get breakfast

The original pancakes here have a lot of flavor. You can tell they add salt to the pancakes. Yum. I had pancakes at this spot twice (years apart) and was pleasantly surprised both times how good the pancakes are. The dutch baby pancake was kind of tasteless imo compared to the pancakes. I wouldnt order again The volume of food is great - everyone around us was getting to go boxes at the end. I ordered a strawberry banana dutch pancake but a plain one (mini) came out. Im 99% sure that they just went back and put strawberrries on top. I'm not sure if the pancake size was supposed to be bigger.. since the one came out was called mini. Still filled me up but my eyebrow was raised Service is where a star falls short. The staff just seemed so busy and we had to continuously flag folks down. However, they did offer a whole new to go coffee at the end of my meal.

Service was great Parking isn't bad super early in the morning but other times it's hard to find parking so you'll prob have to park under ground and it's better in the summer time cus your car will be cooler Breakfast taco- they don't have salsa. We asked and they had salsa verde but no red salsa. The salsa verde made it much better. Veggie cheese one of the Dutch baby pancakes- more like broccoli and veggies with cheese and a thin pancake. Not bad but wouldn't get it again

Hands down one of the best breakfast spots in Edgewater. The menu has many great options, quick and friendly service, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Def a must try if you're in the area.

Food is great, an awesome breakfast restaurant. Stick to what you like and you'll never be disappointed. Explore and you will be delightfully surprised. Fluffy pancakes, deep pocket waffles and huge tasty omelettes all made to order. Service is welcoming, friendly and professional. Seating is adequate with a view of the kitchen for all to see. The decor is like sitting in a friend's patio to enjoy a tasty breakfast. Just wish they would purchase better maple syrup... but still 5 stars.

Honestly I could do the nj suburb life if it meant being able to have the Dutch baby from here whenever... it's just so good and I can't find anything like this in nyc... got the strawberry banana and friend got the apple and both were sooooo good I'd go out of my way to get it again. Service is good, wait during brunch can be a lil long but it was worth it for me. Huge portions, honestly might be my new fave thing

Want to have an amazing breakfast with good service and a simple but open space ambiance? This place does not disappoint, pancakes and crepes, with or without fruit, omelettes with what you want if not prefixed in menu, fresh (some fruit preservative) everything as if your mother made it for you. Worth the wait there sometimes and every penny. Tell them Angel The Realtor sent you Enjoy.
