1st off we decided to come to this place due to the fact that Ms kim had amazing responses to the reviews that needed to be addressed. My wife and I read all the reviews and responses for about 3hrs across the street from the pancake house laughing and enjoying the responses. When we decided to come we had Brian as our server he was amazing friendly and most of all helpful. He answered all of our questions and concerns. We ordered banana pancakes and French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Drinks were oj, milk and water. The food was definitely the hype that was given through many of Kim's responses we were pleased with every bite and even took bites of each other's plate. My wife says "10 out of 10. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND". we will definitely be back hopefully we can meet ms kim. The manager Alexis was amazing and friendly although you can see she works and can multi task. We spoke with her before we left and the entire time we sat there all staff that was there showed a good customer service side even if they didn't serve you. THANK YOU MS KIM FOR ALL THE RESPONSES WHICH HELPED US TO BECOME RETURNING LOYAL CUSTOMERS. 💯🥰💙🙏🏼

Undeniably a chain, with 1953 origins in Portland OR and the famous Walker Bros location in Wilmette IL, Las Vegas’ The Original Pancake House has been owned and operated by Kim and Stephan Freudenberger since 1995. Created by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke, over 120 Restaurans from coast-to-coast making their name with high-quality Butter, pure Whipping Cream and grade AA eggs, it is from 7am until 2pm that guests can usually expect a brief wait to be seated amidst homey confines featuring smiling service. Not just Pancakes, the cost of Eggs recently raising prices for baked Omelettes and plates like “The Traditional” served with Potatoes and Meat, Coffee is freely-refillable and pretty basic for $4.99 while additional beverages include Coke products and freshly squeezed Orange or Grapefruit Juice. A Beard Award winning concept, Vegas’ only location since a store on Charleston burned down in 2012, fans of The Original Pancake House will assuredly recognize both a German Pancake and the smaller Dutch Baby offered with DIY Glaze and a generous rise surrounding the Souffle center. Opting to also share Bacon, a fluffy Buttermilk Short Stack and crispy Potato Pancakes cooked like a “Smash Burger” online reservations circumvented a wait thus allowing plenty of time to enjoy the signature “Apple Pancake,” a piping hot pile of thinly sliced Granny Smiths teaming with Cinnamon and Sugar atop a buttery golden base proving as much “Pie” as Pancake.

One of my all time favorite breakfast places. The Original Pancake House! I order the corn beef with potato pancakes that are thin with crispy edges that crunch. Two eggs over medium that I use toast to soak up the egg yolks. The sour crème with homemade apple sauce is wonderful in the potato pancakes. My friend order the crepe trio with cherry crepe, chocolate crepe and a continental crepe with an orange sauce. Almost full here. Other originals is the Dutch baby, apple pancakes, the omelets are over cooked and fluffy. Our server was Julie was awesome and made wonder menu selections and called us my name. A wonderful way to start your day at the Original Pancake House.

The food here is delicious! We had a party of 7 that walked in, and the staff was courteous and prompt! Our server Julie was wonderful. She memorized our order by heart! ♥️ I had the best Belgian waffle I’ve ever had. An overall wonderful experience and highly recommend this breakfast spot!

If you’re looking for a memorable breakfast experience, the Original Pancake House won’t disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the staff, setting a positive tone for our meal. The service was attentive without being overbearing – our server checked in frequently, ensuring their coffee was always hot and our needs were met. The portions here are truly generous, which is perfect for anyone with a big appetite. Their signature pancakes are fluffy and flavorful. We also ordered the omelet, which was perfectly cooked and packed with fillings, making every bite deliciously satisfying. The sides – bacon and hash browns – came in ample servings, cooked to perfection and brimming with flavor. Whether you’re a fan of classic breakfast dishes or crave something sweet, the Original Pancake House has something for everyone. Their commitment to quality and generous portions make it a top-notch dining choice, especially if you want great service in a welcoming atmosphere. For breakfast lovers, this place is a must-visit. Suggestions would be the omelette, mini pancakes, and French toast.

For over 10 years this has been my go to spot for our Anniversary and WVERY Vegas trip. As usual we head over as we celebrate 10 years. Every encounter BEFORE this one was excellent. I mean...I had my son bringing me orders to Cali when he comes to visit. My daughter brought me an order from a Vegas trip in March. The entire order was wrong, so I called and was told they would make it right. Fast forward to Anniversary breakfast...every plate came from the kitchen wrong. The manager that was assisting our nice waitress who tried to make it a great day, was rude, short, and just could not get it right. Then when I brought up the last error and promise of making it right, he asked what did I order...well this time around I ordered the traditional combo w/strawberry pancakes that he still got wrong. His reply was "I didn't charge you for the strawberries" so on that note...that was my last visit to this once great place. Guess my business is not wanted here, so I will take it elsewhere. Along with no recommendations to any of my clients, friends or family. As a travel agent, I was always referring this as a must to try. Not anymore!!

My Favorite place for Breakfast!!!!! Excellent service ALWAYS. Super friendly and efficient. Amazing food. My favorite is the Dutch baby German pancake and the crepes, and eggs Benedict! They're apparently celebrating 30 years in business, and going strong. My server today was "Diego", and I loved him. Please stay open for another 30 years. Love you guys!

This place was amazing! I went here over the weekend with my husband and we were pleasantly surprised! We were able to walk right in and sit down immediately on a Saturday morning. Our server, Edgar, was amazing. He was so prompt and attentive. Our food only took about 5-7 minutes to come out- it was so quick! I was seriously impressed. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the corn beef hash (which is homemade) and a side of strawberry pancakes. The pancakes were probably the best I've ever had- light, Fluffy, and flavorful, but also not too sweet. The only negative is that the coffee was burnt, so that was kind of a bummer. Can't wait to go back and try more pancakes off their menu.

My husband and I ate brunch at The Original Pancake House on Saturday. It was our first time there. There was a small wait when we checked in at the podium. It wasn't a long wait before we were seated in a booth. My husband ordered a diet soda and I asked for coffee with creamer. Upon perusing their wide variety of meals on the menu; I chose a banana crepe with a side of scrambled eggs and my husband ordered two fried eggs, bacon and white toast. We enjoyed our breakfast. It was delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The bacon was crispy. My crepe was sweet and filling. I recommend dining here if you are looking for a good breakfast or lunch place. It's worth trying and we will return in the future.

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time, well today I did and let me tell you I was not disappointed at all. first of all, Kim was gracious enough to give me a booth seat, which I really appreciate, especially knowing how busy Sunday mornings can be. And my server Mary was excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful in helping me with the menu choices. I love the ambience very clean very elegant with comfortable seating. So I decided to order a cherry crêpes which were absolutely amazing!!!!, a side of scrambled eggs and a side of German hashbrowns which were both delicious! The coffee was fresh , hot and very good and the freshly squeezed orange juice was phenomenal!! I will definitely be revisiting this establishment soon!!!

This place isn't really for me. Customer service was just fine. The gentleman that served us did a fine job. So I cannot say anything negative on that end. However, the food is lackluster. My mom loves this place because she loves a Dutch baby. I, however, don't care for pancakes in the least and ordered a BLT. I'd imagine, like any other BLT I've ever ordered anywhere in the city, it would come with at least mayo on it. Nope. DRY. Nothing. The fries had no seasoning but were fresh and hot so I will give them that. To me, since I live on the other side of town, this isn't a place I'd go out of my way to eat it. There's so many better breakfast spots in town. EDIT: Kim, with your attitude the way you respond to people you will continue to alienate people from your business. I've read your other responses. Take the feedback. Not to mention I'm NOT a senior. And I don't care how they order their BLTs. I simply stated this place wasn't for me. And truth be told your attitude for customer service is something to be said for. No wonder this place wasn't jammed packed like so many other great breakfast places in town. Management attitude tells it all. I'll be sure to continue to tell people to skip this place! And downgrade you to a 1 star for your snarky reply. Let me add this isn't my mother's favorite restaurant either. She just enjoys your crappy Dutch babies EDIT 2: Kim continues to show her a$$ to be the jerk she is and not taking constructive criticism. What a poor excuse for an owner. To treat anyone who has something to say about improving their experience you brush them off. You've done it to countless people. Your business is a bully and you can't be too successful considering you were NOT packed at PEAK breakfast hours. What a joke the way you respond to people. I should report your business for absolute harassment. Take the constructive criticism like I said Kim. Or you'll continue to run your business in the ground. Continue to show people how horrible you are as an owner by the way you respond. People do read these and will see how you've treated anyone with a grip. Have the day you deserve

Had to try a new place for breakfast and stumbled upon OPH. First, my husband and I are not pancake fans but knew they would have other options that would satisfy us. Second, and yes, they did. We were seated immediately and our drink orders taken quickly. The service was good, not great as we had to ask for refills but in all fairness, our server's area became quite busy as we waited for our food. Husband ordered the corned beef hash with potato pancakes. After one bite, he says, "oh, we'll be back." The portion was very generous. I ordered the spinach omelet which I have never had one baked before. It was delicious. The spinach was fresh, and the omelet was nice and fluffy. After seeing the various pancakes that were offered and served, I may . . . have to give them a try on our next visit. Even for not being a pancake fan, they looked fantastic. My only annoyance? A slight charge for using a credit card. There is a cash price and a credit card price. Who carries cash anymore? While we ordered two breakfasts, coffee and an iced tea, this was not a cheap meal. This is a sign of our times. Happy holidays to the staff at OPH and thank you for a delicious meal.

We went here for breakfast on Saturday morning. They open at 7am and we arrived right around 7:30am. We were greeted and seated promptly. Brian our server was friendly and took our order right away. They have a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options but I knew pretty much right away that I wanted to try their famous Apple Pancake. I also ordered a side of two eggs scrambled and coffee. Everything inside is clean, albeit a bit dated on decor but no complaints. The restroom was clean and well stocked with soap and paper towels too. The menu says to allow 18 minutes for Apple Pancakes but our order arrived much sooner than that, presumably because we arrived before it got busy. The pancake is massive, dense, and delicious. It has a cinnamon sugar glaze on top and is very rich. It felt more like a dessert than breakfast but I knew what I ordered. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the coffee was great too. I ate as much as I could and still took half of the pancake home. I'll certainly be back since they had several other breakfast options I would like to try. I would absolutely recommend giving this location a try.

HORRIBLE experience here over breakfast one morning. It was so deplorable that we will never visit here again! Firstly, the female server forgot to put my son's order in first, after i specifically asked her to do so. My toddler was starving after his soccer game. We wanted him to enjoy breakfast, while my hubby & I take our time to read the menu. Our server apologized & alleged that the kitchen would put a rush on the kids banana pancake order. Secondly, I ordered one of the most common breakfast items for myself, which was apple cinnamon waffle. When the waffle came out, it was underdone with disgusting watery apple cinnamon "sauce" sloppily thrown all over the waffle. The diced apples were undercooked as well. Immensely disappointed to say the least! The waffle was so gross that I sent it back. The server insisted on remaking it, to which I declined & decided to consume some of my son's pancake (it was a huge portion for a kids item). Talk about "when it rains, it pours" situation! One of the pancakes was NOT cooked through, the wet batter was very conspicuous! My husband & I told the manager, who apologized & asked the kitchen to remake it. I AGAIN tried to decline, but they insisted.. At this point, I completely lost my appetite, so did my husband. My hubby walked up to the cashier & wanted to pay for the adjusted check, in which the server forgot to take off one of the items. While my husband was waiting for them to fix the check, the kitchen manager was there & was defensive by saying that the waffle wasn't undercooked. REALLY??!!! How dare she try to argue with a customer & tried to be deceitful!

So I am being nice because the original pancake house has a positive place in my heart for breakfast, but the fact that they added a to go fee does not make any sense. But today I got the Dutch baby because I was craving something crispy and Gooey at the same time I did add whip, cream and syrup just in case I want to switch up the flavors because my usual, go to choice is the 49ers pancake. The younger hostess in the front was amazing She gave great customer service! The diner itself is just how I imagine it gave it a homey vibe, classic! First bite was amazing. The only con I have with it. It needs to be eaten fresh. They also forgot the powdered sugar and lemon but it's alright, otherwise amazing specialty pancake. Just note it is more on the egg custard side. For anyone who wants a classic breakfast, check it out

Family friendly breakfast spot and spacious. Went here before church and after reading reviews, thought we had to try too and it was on the way. The Dutch baby pancake was our fave, you have to try it! The rest of our entrees was ok. Service was excellent.

I always enjoy The Original Pancake House. Their food is very creative and the portions are generous. You can take your remainders home and enjoy them for breakfast the next day too I had the Spinach Omelette. I love that they bake the omelette. It was moist and tasty. I am usually a big fan of their pancakes (which is what I always look forward to) yet on this visit the pancakes were not thin and tasty like I like them they were thick and dry. The service was very good. Our waiter was very attentive and quick to remove plates so that we did not have empty plates or trash on the table after we had eaten and our coffee cups were never empty. The restaurant was very clean, bright and welcoming . The restroom was clean and in good repair. I would recommend this restaurant.

Great great place for breakfast! The food was good, the service was great, the ambience filled with the aroma of pancakes and syrup. We had the buttermilk pancakes and eggs over medium with sausage and bacon and the German hashbrowns. Julie was our server and she was the best! She was able to anticipate and comply with our needs without us even having to ask. You don't find service like this much anymore, rare and few, so we appreciated it. Friendly, sweet and memorable experience. We will definitely be back when in Vegas. Outside of the strip but worth it! Good prices, good food and great service. Highly recommend!

Wow, I feel very yucky after having visited here today. I've been coming here nearly my entire adult life. How long's this place been here? 20+ years? Well that's how long I've been coming. The potato pancakes are my favorite and you can't find them anywhere else like here. So I brought my mom today for lunch. I also have a service animal (dog). His name is Chaga. We sit down and the waitress asks if he's a service animal. I say yes and she says ok he can't be on the booth. Ok, he's not, but noted. Then 5 min later, the owner comes from the back and says, oh he slipped by. I said, no the waitress asked us about him. The owner said, I don't care. (Just ready to fight.) Is he a service animal? Yes, he's a psychiatric service animal. Emotional support? No. What's his job? Tactile touch for grounding. Well emotional support animals aren't allowed here. He's a psychiatric SERVICE animal. Ok, we'll make sure he stays under control! And then turns away disgruntled. (There are times when I experience extreme anxiety. It's 100% within my lawful right to have a psychiatric service animal for grounding me in those moments.) Very cold, no hi. No welcome. Just plain rude and with energy like, oooh I just hope he gives me the wrong answer so I can kick them out. And a clear pre-conceived notion that I'm probably lying. Looking back, the energy from our waitress felt like she was sick of the owner's bologna too. Cause right when we sat down, we were like she seems in a bad mood. But who wouldn't be under tyranny? So we order and our food comes. Maybe about 2 minutes in to taking our first bites the owner comes out of the back and says if you can't keep your dog under control you have to leave! I was legit shocked, like excuse me, what are you talking about? She says, he needs to be under the table at all times!! I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU ON CAMERA THIS WHOLE TIME. Ok, let me explain what was really happening. Chaga was within a 1.5 foot radius next to our booth the entire time. He maybe repositioned once or twice in between lying down, and at one point he was maybe laying 1.5 feet away from our booth with the leash a little taught. Not blocking the walkway but a little out, nothing crazy. Then he put his front paws on the booth while his back paws were still on the ground and I started giving him a back scratch. (He's a short lil 12 pound dachshund poodle mix.) I was kind of doing this on autopilot as I was talking, not thinking much of it because he was being good. That's when the owner came out and scolded me because his front paws were on the booth. She was watching me like a hawk on camera I guess, just waiting for me to make a wrong move. How unsettling. (I feel bad for her employees, imagine how she must watch them on camera.) She said, he can't be begging and has to be under the table at all times!! And then proceeded to kick us out, causing a huge scene in front of the whole restaurant. Wasting a whole table of food and screwing her waitress out of a tip. In reality, Chaga wasn't begging at all, he just had his front paws up as I was scratching his back and he was sitting *next* to our table, not *under* the table. And he was actually sitting under the table between my feet maybe half the time. He wasn't disrupting any other customers and he didn't make a peep. The owner just seemed psycho and totally unreasonable about it. A great shame, she'll probably be able to ride out her downfall a little longer because she owns a breakfast institution and can afford to be rude to customers. But we'll see how long it lasts. It really makes me sad because I didn't even get to eat one bite of my darn potato pancakes!! Ughhh. Legit the meanest restaurant owner I've ever met. Edit: Zero integrity from this owner. She is lying through her teeth. Refused all requests to control him? NO ONE SAID ONE THING to me about him the entire time I was seated. NOT ONCE. Except the waitress and owner initially asking about him being a service animal. Honest to God's truth. Saying he was begging at other tables - complete lie! Sniffing other tables food? That doesn't even sound possible. I hope her employees are reading this so they know how phony she is. Like I said, the worst was he was maybe lying 1.5 feet away from the table with the leash a little taught. And then I walked back in and recorded a 1.5 min video completely by myself, didn't say one word to anyone else and then left. I've now included that video as proof. Tell me if I was screaming and making a scene. Just because I've been coming for 20+ years doesn't mean I have to be a regular and the waitstaff knows me. I only come when I have cravings for potato pancakes, which happened to be today. POST RECEIPTS OR IT NEVER HAPPENED. I would love for you to post the surveillance tape you were watching. Let the people decide! If I'm wrong, I'm willing to admit it - are you?

If you have "pancake"!in your name you better have great pancakes! The best pancakes I have ever had in Las Vegas! The omelettes were very delicious with generous fillings, the portions are large so if you hope to finish your pancakes you might want to share. The banana crepes were good enough to prompt my friend to drive 35 minutes across town 2 weeks in a row. This restaurant is totally worth the hype.

Came here to try the Dutch pancake but once I saw how MASSIVE it was ( could literally be split between 4 plus people) I opted for a traditional breakfast. As I viewed the menu I could understand why this place was so popular for breakfast. Their breakfast dishes (eggs, bacon, pancakes, optional hash browns and toast) come with 4-6 pieces of bacon. This is unheard of as most breakfast establishments barely give you 2 pieces of bacon. Also they are only open from 7A-2P EVERYDAY. Service was friendly, timely and very welcoming. The breakfast was good, I especially enjoyed the pancakes they were soft, fluffy and just nostalgic. Ambiance is your typical early morning risers and coffee drinkers. Ha!

I was SO EXCITED to find an Original Pancake House in Vegas - the first one I'd found since I lived in Chicago. Always a favorite because the food and service was always exceptional. This location was no exception to the very high bar set in my memory. I had my (thank goodness it was still on the menu) Eggs Michael which is basically a Benedict with sausage and mushroom sherry sauce served with the most delicious potato pancakes. I ordered soft poached eggs and they came out harder than I wanted, but Jeremy took care of it immediately, had the eggs prepared perfectly and brought more sauce. They were perfect. I cleaned my plate. M ordered the classic apple pancake with a side of crispy bacon which he said was the best bacon he ever had. The pancake? Delicious. I didn't get a picture to begin with but grabbed a little bit in our to-go container. The coffee was very good. The fresh squeezed grapefruit juice was heavenly. The service was perfect. Loved everything about this foodie stop!! Thank you!!!

UPDATE: After today's experience I will NEVER be back here. I was a huge fan of OPH and was loyal for so many years, but the way even the manager addressed my issue today tells me that they don't appreciate a loyal patron. My issue is on principal and due to all of my past dining experiences. I always order the Swedish Pancakes. It comes with butter, lingonberries, and syrup. I always ask for them to bring extra lingonberries because it doesn't come with enough and never an issue. Server brings more with my Swedish Pancakes. I have to repeat - I always ask for extra lingonberries. Also, again, this is the only dish I ever eat here. Today, no exception. I order the same. As a party of two, we both ordered the Swedish Pancakes with extra lingonberries. We ate our food and when the check came, I was taken aback that there was a charge for 2 x Lingonberries at $5.49/ea and a total of $10.98! I have never been charged for extra lingonberries and nor did my server mention there is an extra charge for it. I wasn't expecting a charge because a) I have never been charged for it and b) server never mentioned. So, I decided to discuss with the cashiers who just shrugged their shoulders. However, a manager in a white tee shirt overheard me and inquired. I recounted the situation again citing that I had never been charged for extra lingonberries before. She said they ALWAYS charge for it. But, I let her know that no server ever in all these years has ever charged and whether it was policy or not, if I have never been charged for it before then as a customer I am under the impression that it has no extra charge. Again, the server today never mentioned the extra charge which would have given me the option to proceed or decline. The manager seemingly wanted to challenge my prior visits to ask if I knew who my servers were. No, I don't know their names but I described at last the last two servers I had. I can even likely find the receipts that did not have a charge and to prove I did have extra lingonberries (not charged) that day, just look at my Yelp for the approximate visit date and in that picture is the extra lingonberries. The manager proceeds to mention it's a fireable offense for any employee. Fine, be it as it may, I was just stating that the impression provided by every single prior visit with this identical scenario did not have a charge assessed. This wasn't a $3 extra charge, I was charged a total of $10.98 extra - almost an entree amount. I also do not see a side of lingonberries on the menu so again, having no server prior charge me and not seeing it on the menu, I am under the impression it is provided. The manager makes no concession on the bill - not even so much as taking it off one time but that I do know for the future that there is a charge. For all the reasons above - OPH from a customer service standpoint will never have my business again. Goodbye forever. To all future customers - you better ask for your own sake if there's a charge for anything you might ask for because it's clearly not disclosed and they don't care that they didn't tell you either! MY REPLY to the manager's response: I have no issue paying for something that is disclosed. This is my point. I'm fine if all OPH's have a charge for it, but I'm just saying that your own staff in all my past visits did not follow your policy which is why when I have asked for it in the past - it was never a mention of a charge. The first server to charge me today never mentioned or disclosed this upcharge. A good server would inform that one can add more but it will be extra or you can sub an item for an extra cost. Full disclosure is what I'm asking for. It is not listed on the menu so as a customer if it is not disclosed by the server, I would not know. This is my point. My policy is to patron businesses that are transparent with their customers.

live in LV 3 yrs now when we want 49'er we always come here and we only order 49'er,but this time for Mother's day was a disappointment for us! it was like the texture and richness of 49'er was not there,I could make this at home it was just like crepe and the size was small they stack up on plate to even out the plate size they just put on plate uneven just so the plate look full of 49'ers and even the coffee was lack in coffee flavors.if OPH tryna cut back on recipes they shouldn't everyone know things R getting expensive but if we like your food we are willing to pay for the price.too bad

Good service but a bit too crowded for my tastes. The pancakes were amazing and a great value. Bacon was slightly overcooked but that's on me. The next day I had the basic breakfast of eggs, german hash browns and sausage. Fine meal but pancakes is why you come here

It's been years since I've been here but we were craving pancakes and if the business name has "pancakes" in the name, you'd think the pancakes would be bomb af. They weren't. They came out lukewarm and my butter didn't melt when I placed it on them. It was 1250 when we entered and they close at 2. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it but our pancakes seemed old, possibly reheated. We also ordered a burger, which was fine- seemed to be cooked fresh and instead of a pickle a thick-sliced cucumber is served. The waiter was nice enough and the restaurant appeared clean. Would I be back? NO. I'd rather go to any other pancake place for buttermilk pancakes than here.

My family has been coming here for years now and it is our favorite spot to eat on Sunday mornings! The service is always exceptional, food is wonderful and fresh. Edgar is one of our favorite waiters and he is super funny! Julie is a wonderful waitress as well and her memory is impeccable with remembering orders! I love the fact that it's family owned and the ownership is always up front and kind as can be. Thank you pancake house! -The Chavez Family

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Stephan and Kim Freudenberger, owners of The Original Pancake House in Las Vegas are amazing! Today was special as it is Christmas! Yes, they are open pretty much everyday of the year! Kim always greets customers at the door with a smile. If you can catch Stephan he also stops by the tables and speaks to customers. What a great story he told our table today about Christmas and his sister. Loved it! It's what Christmas is all about. Thank you for sharing your story. Ok, the food was incredible! Had my first egg white vegetarian omelette, suggested by the wonder and beautiful Julie. WOW! Huge and delicious. Never saw one like this. Not your "regular omelette." Had to take half home! Swedish Pancakes so light and delicious served with lingonberry and sour cream. Pancakes always fluffy and who doesn't like pancakes! Spinach egg white omelette also a winner! And you can't go wrong with their hot coffee! Service impeccable! A surprise, met Santa and his Elf assistant. Mrs. Santa worked the other side of the restaurant. It was a huge hit for all the customers and the candy canes were multi-colored. What a festive time at The Original Pancake House on Christmas Day. Thank you Freudenbergers and wishing you a great Christmas too! Definitely highly recommended!

This is my favorite breakfast spot in Vegas. Period. Hands Down. - quality of everything on menu is superior to pretty much anything out there. they PROMISED me there were no calories on Tuesdays so when I go I eat as much as I can. - I don't believe them but I have to take them at their word. - Service is always top tier and most of the time they go above and beyond to make sure the experience is memorable. The Dutch Baby is addictive ...no way you leave the restaurant with a frown on your face after that. Bacon is GOD level. So is the Coffee and fresh squeezed Orange Juice. - the pictures of the food are authentic so that is literally what you get. - you can feed the world with a few apple pancakes and have some left over. - also it stays super hot for 35-40 min after they put it on yoru table.

This is one of my grandfather's favorite breakfast spots but I was disappointed. I ordered a waffle with eggs over hard. My egg was still running loose a little, so I just ate around it and I did not complain. The tipping point for me that made me not to ever visit this restaurant again was the waitress. She was acting a little weird and was not very kind especially towards the end. She was acting as if we were an inconvenience. The restaurant was clean but I do not think I would visit again any time soon.

My husband and I came here for breakfast a couple weeks ago and enjoyed our food a lot. The restaurant is usually packed on the weekend mornings, but they have a lot of tables so the wait is never too long. My husband ordered a bacon omelette which is cooked in butter. It was big, fluffy, and tasty. It comes with choice of pancakes or toast. My husband ordered the buckwheat pancakes which are gluten friendly. I asked the server if they had any other gluten friendly options and she suggested French toast made with their gluten free bread. Yum! I'm so glad I went with her suggestion as it was delicious. I also ordered a side of hash browns (home fries) which were tasty as well. They have fresh squeezed orange juice they make daily. Always a great experience at OPH!

Found out this was one of thee old original Las Vegas classic pancake spots so we just had to check it out and boyyyy does this place not disappoint!!! Our server was very attentive, informative, quick and straight to the point! Wish I remembered her name but she was awesome! We got typical Belgian waffle, the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and just had to try one of their signature pancake dish-- The German pancake!! Cooked to perfection they were so delicious! Our server also brought out more lemons, strawberries as well as powdered sugar to add as toppings to our liking-- very generous! Will most definitely come back! Wish I knew about this nostalgic restaurant sooner; would've been writing this review years back lol

Back again for more pancakes. Showed up about 5 minutes before my reservation and we were seated right away. Julie was our server and she was amazing! We really liked her. She had an amazing attitude. I tried out the western omelette today and it did not disappoint.

Our son is flying home from Baylor for the holidays and our first stop today will be OPH. OPH NEVER fails to delight our family and is our go to destination when friends and family arrive in Vegas. Their recipes, quality and service always wins. Thank you OPH! See you soon

This is a great family breakfast place. Our sizeable group all found something to suit our tastebuds. German pancakes to a BLT. I had an omelette that was made to perfection. I love the fluffiness of the omelettes that are baked to perfection. The staff was fantastically friendly. The welcoming atmosphere will have us enjoying another breakfast soon.

Diner vibes inside the restaurant. Our server was really sweet. The pancakes were fluffy and yummy! That's why we were there in the first place. But I was disappointed with the crepe Lorraine. I was expecting a savory dish but it seemed way too sweet. Not sure if it's the hollandaise sauce on top or if the crepe batter was more of a dessert crepe but it wasn't very enjoyable. I took the half home but didn't even go back to eat it. As for the potato pancakes, not sure what I was expecting out of that one but it was just okay.

I drove 30 minutes for this? The pancakes were terrible. I returned them and got the same overcooked and warm pancakes instead of hot and fresh. I was excited to see that Vegas has my favorite breakfast spot, but to be met down was highly unfortunate. The Original Pancake restaurants in the Midwest shatter this place. Sorely disappointed!

My favorite all American breakfast spot. Try their fresh squeezed orange juice when oranges are in season, and you'll be hooked. Nothing I've had here is bad. Service is amazing, especially when you get served on by a specific gentleman who's been serving for over 30 years. And he doesn't even use a notepad to take your order. Try him out, you'll be surprised.

... I should have drove the extra 20 mins to a different location. Cynthia C was the waitress, host, & food runner. So I completely understand being overwhelmed. The service was already TRASH but then my 10 year old started ordering for herself & stuttered & Cynthia said "Jesus" under her breath as if my 10 year daughter was an inconvenience. Extremely unacceptable. Our food was cold. Our service was rushed. & our silverware was dirty.

We were in a mood for a traditional breakfast and this place hit the spot. We visited on a Sunday morning (around 9:30) and there was no wait time. However, I have gone here at later times and it can get pretty crowded and busy so I would highly recommend visiting before 10am. The staff is always friendly and the service is great. After placing our order, the food arrived in less than 10 min. My husband and I both ordered the "Traditional" egg special that comes with 2 eggs (style of your choice), sausage, or bacon, or Turkey bacon AND buttermilk pancakes. However, I upgraded mine to the pumpkin pancakes for less than $2 and I HIGHLY recommend. I crave these pumpkins ALL the time. They're so fluffy and full of flavor. Their prices are fairly reasonable the only downside is that there is a credit card fee of 2.9% per transaction so make sure to take cash.

The original pancake house never disappoints. This Las Vegas fixture only has one location and I pray it never goes away. You can always count on the food to be consistently delicious. Whether it's breakfast or lunch you crave, you're in for a good meal at a great price. Plus, this is the only place in town where you can have such a wide variety of European style pancakes, and omelettes. My favorites are the potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce, and the crêpes. There is always a wait, but reservations are available and even walk ins don't have to wait too long. The service is quick, the vibe is always happy and you'll leave with a full belly.
