"Sure, Original Pancake Houses have sprouted up from Ohio to Osaka, but this Southwest Portland colonial-style home with a candy-cane-striped awning is the O.G. And tearing into a perfectly light and eggy dutch baby, dusted with powdered sugar and kissed with lemon, just hits different in a wood-paneled room with decorative plates lining the walls. We advise sticking to the sweet side of the menu, like that signature dutch baby, spiced pecan waffle, or the massive glazed apple pancake that’s heavy on cinnamon and sugar and tastes like an apple fritter." - krista garcia

"The original Original Pancake House was born in 1953, and the family-owned business that resembles a cozy cottage has since spread its glorious, batter-built gospel worldwide. For decades, hordes of Portlanders have flocked to the Southwest Portland cafe for the giant, puffy, eggy Dutch babies baked with sauteed apples. Those looking for traditional buttermilk pancakes will find those here, as well." - Rebecca Roland

"A Portland brunch spot that offered a playful high–low mix—Swedish pancakes and glasses of buttermilk served alongside French 75 cocktails—illustrating the Northwest's relaxed elegance and its ability to combine humble dishes with a touch of sophistication." - John Birdsall
