The Original Pancake House

We have been here many times the only thing that really changes are the prices. They seem to go up quite dramatically. $7.85 for 4 pieces of bacon seems a bit overpriced. Strawberry crepes were amazing as always. Out server Stacey I was incredible she stopped over many times to check on us. The food and service is always top notch just very pricey. Wait was about 20 minutes to be seated on a weekend.

My father took me here when I was 5 (1968-ish). Still a nice place for breakfast when in Williamsville. The place was packed. Breakfast was good. Nice place to sit and chat. Server "Stacey I" is wonderful.

A very consistent establishment that has been around for years. The quality and taste are very good. The service over the years, had always been good, and if you don't get there early, it will be packed

Went here for my partner’s birthday. We got the waffles and sausages. Waffle was soft and tasty. The sausage had a great texture and the eggs complimented the waffles well. I got the rye bread as a side and it was great!

Amazing experience! We came here Sunday morning around 9am. My husband and I were seated within 1 minute. Our waitress, Lila was very attentive and friendly. The staff kept the hot coffee pouring too. I had the blueberry pancakes and eggs, my husband had the strawberry pancakes with eggs and they were both some of the best we have ever had. The fresh squeezed orange juice was cold and refreshing! The atmosphere is open and inviting and bright. We were very pleased with our breakfast here and look forward to coming here when visiting Buffalo again!

We came before closing for some late breakfast. It was great. I got the Trio Crepes and my husband got the pigs in a blanket. Nothing was overly sweet it was perfect.

Corn syrups for Maple syrup ruins a lovely idea. I wouldn't recommend this place for pancakes etc. We liked the Dutch baby as it was light and buttery but the rest were heavy and doughy. We didn't like the signature apple dish and the pumpkin pancakes didn't have much flavour. The service was really good though!

I usually don’t do reviews on restaurants because I do my best to understand but this time I gotta say I was heavily disappointed. I chose to place an order for pick up here strategically because I knew original pancake house was a respectable place for a nice comforting family breakfast. Having a baby whom I struggle to feed because he can be so picky, I thought there’s no way my selection of items could be messed up. The spinach feta omelette was burnt and dried up. The Spanish and the fetta were carelessly thrown into the omelette, same with the salt. Some bites were particularly salty :/ I was so excited to have my toddler try the home fries as they looked so good in the pictures. They were so burnt! Literally black! I threw away half of the food because it was not good to eat. For all the money I paid and the thought that went into choosing where to eat I was very disappointed. Too expensive as well! Not right.

Stopped in for a late breakfast/early lunch. That's the great thing about all day breakfast spots, it doesn't matter what time you're there, breakfast is always a good choice. When we walked in, it was a little busy but a lot of people were heading out. We sat down at our table and got water and menus. I ordered an orange juice which was delicious and tasted fresh squeezed. We gave our order and waited for our food. My friend ordered himself an omelet with pancakes while I ordered two eggs, sausage, and pancakes. We waited a pretty good amount before our food came out. We both blamed the omelet for taking too long jokingly but still didn't think it would be as long as it was. The food was delicious. The buttermilk pancakes were incredible and tasted so much better than any pancakes I have had lately. I love the vibes here too. It has that classic diner feel but just a bit elevated enough to make it feel modern. The staff and servers were great. We will definitely be back.

Came in for a super quick breakfast after Record Store Day, and we had a nice time! We came in on a super busy morning and were excited to be seated pretty quickly for how busy it was inside. Our server was super nice and attentive to our table as well as answering questions about the menu and rewards program as it was our first time there. The ambiance was defiantly lively and not a quiet breakfast experience so keep that in mind if that's what you are looking for! We didn't mind and thought it was a fun atmosphere. The food here I do have to say was expensive for breakfast food, check the menu photos for prices, and it was all pretty good. I got the bacon and eggs with three buttermilk pancakes. The pancakes were fabulous! So golden and buttery, but the eggs and bacon were more standard fare. For $15 I would've hoped for better.

I love the omelettes and pancakes here!! I think I've been ordering the same thing for 20 years. Omelette with cheese and peanut butter and strawberry jelly pancakes. The eggs are fluffy, cheesy and everything you could hope for in an omelette and the pancakes will knock your socks off. If you liked Pb&J as a kid(I obviously still do), this is a must try. The strawberry syrup is just the perfect topping for the peanut butter pancakes. As long as you are ok with sticky tables and little substitutions available, the service and the food will be worth the wetnaps. Ample seating, place can def get packed around breakfast time. Pro tip- dinner time is way less crowded and breakfast for dinner is just as delicious as breakfast for breakfast ;)

What a great breakfast spot in Williamsville, NY. I'm so glad we tried this place, very busy restaurant, hostess are friendly, the waitstaff go above and beyond. Monique is amazing!!! I ordered pigs in a blanket, one guest ordered French toast, and another the buttermilk pancakes. They were delicious, covered in a bit too much powdered sugar for me. The next day we went had Monique again, what a doll! Crepes with strawberries and cream, French toast, eggs with turkey sausage, huge cheese omelet. Absolutely amazing! Coffee is so good and never empty coffee mugs...Bright and cheery decor, tables comfortable, dining room can be loud. We will definitely be back when in Williamsville!

Good fast kitchen and waitresses, which is necessary given all the people wanting to eat here. I had a great 2 by 4 (2 scrambled eggs, 4 pancakes) and some OJ. Marnie loved the buckwheat pancakes (which she felt tasted better than expected) topped with fresh strawberries.

Great breakfast for a party of 8 during the week. We had to wait only a few minutes for the team to put some tables together before we were seated. The restaurant is easy to find and has parking on the side. If you are facing the building, parking is on the right side of the building. The restaurant is accessible though could be tight maneuvering through all of the tables & chairs on a busy day. Male/Female-specific bathrooms are also accessible and located down the back hallway. Our server took great care of us and got our drinks and food orders in quickly. She was efficient and checked on us for beverage refills regularly. A highlight of the meal was my nephew's blueberry crepes - he loved them - and the side of bacon was thick and well-prepared. My spinach and feta omelette was one of the best I've had, and I appreciate that the side of pancakes were NOT enormous. They were 5-6 inches in diameter - perfect size to go with an omelette so I was not overstuffed afterwards. We would definitely return when in the area!

I went to The Original Pancake House for late breakfast in Buffalo NY on my way between work in Rochester NY and a flight out of Buffalo. The place was still very busy on a Thursday morning around 10:45am and service was friendly and very good. Eggs over medium cooked perfectly with a little runny yolk but not in the range of over easy. Egg quality was better than average as seen by the yolk color. The bacon was also a better quality of thick (but not too thick) and crispiness, but still tender and very tasty. The pancakes were pretty good as well - golden, not overdone and not undercooked. Coffee was pretty good too. I would return again if in the area!

I had a wonderful experience here last weekend with my sister. She treated me for a sisters day out and along with the shopping and car concerts, we had brunch at Original Pancake House. I ordered the strawberry pancakes and a side of home fry potatoes. DELISH! The pancakes were light, fluffy and sweet, cooked to perfection. The homemade strawberry sauce to compliment the fresh strawberries was executed perfectly. Last but certainly not least was the perfectly cooked home fries that my sister and I agreed must've been made by a Spud PRO to achieve such crisp yet fluffy perfection!!

The service was meh a way too. She did kind of just drop the coffee on the table, but she did own up to her mistake and fix it. The place was very pretty and clean and the smell was pleasant.

Food is always good but pricey, I had crepes and bacon with a pop and my bill was $26.92 before tip. The service depends on which server you get, could be good or could be slow.

Brunch was delicious today this place, not only has parking on site but friendly waiting area with a lot of space. My food was delicious 8/10, not a big fan of the home fries, but the pancakes, omelette, bacon, and waffles were amazing! I haven't been here in a few years and the remodel is beautiful. The lighting and the staff were very friendly.

I recently went to the Main Street location and Tammy was my server it was a very upsetting experience to say the least!! Tammy was VERY rude when I had any questions about the menu! then our food came took a long time and was cold!! when I told Tammy she paused and rolled her eyes walking away from us!!! I then saw her walk to the back and be rude to one of the minority workers!!! I will NEVER EVER be back!!! I also heard they are infested with roaches!!!!

I LOVE sour dough pancakes but these tasted like rubbing alcohol which was extremely off putting. It is likely due to a bad or over fermented starter. The sides were expensive so I skipped those. I asked for banana in the pancakes and was denied (not a big deal but very strange). I did get seated and served quickly but unfortunately the food was not good. I won't be returning.

Absolutely avoid!! They have no clue what they are doing. Manager asked us two minutes after we sat down how everything was!!! The water hadn't even arrived went downhill from there. Food was served piecemeal got my COLD muffin after I ate my eggs. 3 waitresses couldn't get a 2 person breakfast order right. Don't know what happened but since the interior was remodeled the place is terrible. Staff clueless, food bad, a ship without a captain. Never going back, do us a favor and close the doors!!!! Lastly $65 dollars for a crappy breakfast!! No way

Walking into this restaurant felt like stepping into a time warp--in the worst way possible. We were seated and I asked for hot water, which never arrived, even after I brought it to the manager's attention. Four of us were dining, yet only one person's food came out--and it was terrible. When I finally asked to speak to the manager about the poor service, she arrived with a condescending attitude. Interestingly, the rest of our food suddenly appeared right after I made that request. Unfortunately, it didn't get better. The bacon was undercooked, the pancakes had a strange aftertaste, and the omelette was a disaster, some vegetables were overcooked, others were raw, like they'd mixed leftovers with fresh ones. To top it off, another group who came in after us received all of their meals at the same time, hot and ready. Meanwhile, our experience felt completely disregarded. The manager showed no concern for the quality or timing of service. Definitely won't be returning. The only reason they have this star is because I can't give the the zero they deserve

We love breakfast for dinner, and we're thrilled to find a place open late with pancakes and the fixings. Delicious food, big selection, clean atmosphere and friendly service. Will go back again next time we are in Buffalo!

I really like the food and we've been coming for a while, however sometimes they bite off more than they can chew and we end up waiting a while for food, which is fine bc I like to talk but might annoy some people

This is a great spot to go for breakfast! It does often get really busy and have a wait, highly recommend walking to Glen Falls while waiting for your table and they'll text you when it's ready. I've tried their pancakes and omelets and loved both. The blueberry pancakes are my favorite.

Quality service Wish they had KID FREE OHOP :)))) Kidssss sooooooo annoying Love the apple waffle w pecan Kids overrated!!!!!!

WHAT HAPPENED??? Used to be my favorite Breakfast place. Horrible Horrible Horrible. Hostess (angry) doubled as bus person, food came out cold (missing items) service was ok but man their management sucks along with their food. Found potatoes and spinach in my crepes. Monique our waitress was AMAZING BUT OTHER THEN THAT

I've got no complaints. A good old pancake house. I guess you could say the pancakes are a bit teeny but they do allow you to get the half portion for exactly half the price of the full portion, which felt so genuine...no scammy vibes! The whipped cream was homemade and delicious. A pricey 2 extra dollars but they give a strawberry so what can I say. I do think about these pancakes time to time so I gotta admit this was a great breakfast for dinner experience.

Large parking lot. I had the broccoli/cheese omelet. It was huge and very good. The broccoli was nicely al dente and even though the cheese was processed cheese food, it did not seem salty. The saltiness might have been cut by the fresh broccoli(not frozen and thawed! The side offered is either three pancakes or toast. I ordered the pancakes. These were also nice and hot with a dollop of whipped butter melting on top.

The food is fine, but there's not a large variety of the pricing is a little expensive pancakes are high for the area, but the food is OK and good

It's ok not the best pancake i've had in my short lifetime . However, the service & ambiance for a Saturday morning breakfast rush was 10/10

Had a terrible experience tonight, Friday March 14, 2025. 5:30 pm the restaurant was half empty. We were a group of 6. Friday fish fry. They took way coleslaw and ran out of Mac salad. They substituted potato chips for the Mac salad. I had two two inch long pieces of kielbasa and two small eggs for 15 dollars. Our waitress couldn't care less that we were there. We had to ask for coffee refill and then we got a look like we were bothering her. We asked for separate checks but were told she was too busy to do that. The restaurant was half full. She also never came back to ask how our food was. We will not go back.

Was sat at 5:50pm, ordered fish fry and server came back 45 minutes to tell us they were out of fish. Meanwhile, the two tables that came after us had their fish fry. Is it server fault? Is it management fault? During lent you should be prepared. We are a long time customer and go there weekly. Very disappointed will not be going back. No picture to post because we did not get food!!!

It was a busy place but well worth the wait. Friendly service and good food at decent prices. They provided great service for being so busy and continued to check in. We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. The location is good also and not hard to reach. Good menu and lots of selection so they have something for everyone.

Went with me and my family and we got sat down instantly. Ordered some very decent food, the waitress was nice. Customer service was very nice. It felt very classy themed. Food was 10/10 Customer Service 9/10 Ambience 8/10 Sanitary 9.25/10 Overall 9.1/10

The food was fantastic and service was amazing. It has a great diner atmosphere and very family friendly.

We always drive by here and the wait is spilling out to the sidewalk, so we haven't stopped. Now that we've finally made it here, I can see what the fuss is all about. The interior is a very large open room, but the noise level isn't that bad. The staff was friendly and helpful. I decided to order the Dutch baby and was informed it's a 20 minute bake. I decided since it's not something you could order just anywhere, I'd take the wait. It was so worth it!! It's a large oven-baked pancake, served with lemon, powdered sugar and fresh strawberries. The texture in the middle is dense and creamy. I would go back just for that!!

Stopped in for breakfast this past week. Yeah, it was good, not great, but definitely good. Server was friendly and fast. Our food was hot and it was good, but not great. I had the Dutch baby, it was hot, if not for the toppings, it really would have no flavor. My husband had the Apple pancake, which might have been as big as his head. Super hot, super sweet, and could've been mistaken for dessert rather than breakfast. We would come back and give it another try, and maybe order something else, just not those two items.

Big food, smaller prices, throw your diet out the window. This spot has been here longer than memory, located on the Main Street of Williamsville not far from the old mill. It has a late 1960s/70s vibe but the atmosphere isn't a wink to last century's heyday, it just hasn't been updated (you could say the same for the waitresses' uniforms). Food is good, filling, memorable mostly for its portion size though the side potato pancakes with sour cream were unexpectedly delicious. Though hungry, I didn't eat more than half my breakfast. Better-than-basic, fits the budget, reliably good- recommend.

The original Original Pancake house! Yup it's still there and nothing has changed except for the dividers between the booths are taller. The fresh orange juice machine has disappeared some where. Even though they still serve fresh squeezed orange juice , you just can't watch the oranges go through the machine one by one till they add up to a full small or large cup. They still make Dutch Babies, those delicious puffy soufflés with strawberry, lemon wedges, powdered sugar, butter and fresh strawberry sauce that manage to last two meals and you can only order when you are with a patient friend! And they are still delicious. Yes there are crepes and omelettes and Steele cut oats and English muffins and all the other goodies you either know and love or should know and love. The service is always busy and you still have to try to catch their attention for extra napkins. But they are still always cheerful and more than happy to get more coffee or Splenda for you. So why four stars? Well I'm no spring chicken and pancake house hasn't changed since I wore hip huggers!!! It really needs a face lift , a pick me up a new dress or new low rise jeans ! It's time to cheer the place up a bit. It's time.

Always always always a hometown staple. The breakfast food is consistently delicious and the service is great. The dining room fills quickly and sometimes you have to be put on a table list. Today I was on a 25 minute list, however within 15 minutes I was sitting. I've had pretty much everything in this restaurant in the last 20+ years and today I decided to have their crispy and delicious potato pancakes with a side of bacon. I'm full to the brim and I don't regret it. The prices are reasonable and I like that.

My favorite place for breakfast when I'm back in Buffalo! The best waffles! Just be sure they bring it while it's hot. Perfect thick sliced bacon! Awesome eggs! And I mean real, fresh eggs. Be prepared for a big meal. You cannot go wrong with breakfast here. Fast, friendly service. There is one thing: the women's bathroom is gross. When they remodeled they should have addressed that bathroom. And, they need to clean it better. It's always gross...

Back in the area again after 30 years. The 3 visits our family has made to The Original Pancake House all were great. The sides of bacon may look pricey but it's a generous serving of tasty bacon. The omelets here also are second to none. My wife loves the strawberry pancakes. You can't go wrong with the potato pancakes either. Recommended.

Amazing place with a great busy buzz surrounding breakfast .. if you can ? Try the Dutch apple , but have someone help you.. I went for the flat ones , delicious as can be . My friend had an omelet that was big enough to choke a horse .. food is plentiful and tasty .. used to go here 35 years ago as a special treat.. and today ? It's still special .. great service too..

I do enjoy it here. I love their coffee with fresh cream. I usually get an omelette, because no matter which one u get, you won't be disappointed. I've only been to this location twice, as I usually go to the one in Orchard Park because it's closer to me. I was out this way, so I figured I would treat myself. Food was great, very clean, decent parking options considering the location. Everyone was friendly, service was decent. I sat with an empty coffee cup a time or two. And I needed a to go box, but I couldn't find my server, so I had to bother another one and I felt bad about it. Yes, I would go back here. I'm usually not able to go due to my schedule, and their hours.

Cool breakfast place. Their omelets are huge. I tried their Bacon and Cheddar Omelette. You can share that omelet with someone if you want to try their pancakes or crepes. I tried Blueberry Crepes. That was delicious and more than enough.

Found this gem while on vacation and it did not disappoint. Jessica took our order on a Tuesday morning and kept our coffee cups full while we had the tastiest blueberry and swedish pancakes and eggs. If you're looking for a place to have a conversation with staff while you eat this wasn't our experience. Our experience was being waited on efficiently and professionally and allowed to enjoy our food in a down home comfortable atmosphere. This location is only 9 minutes from the Buffalo airport so if you're traveling you get both great food at value prices and convenience.

I grew up coming here and only to this location for Sunday breakfasts and whenever I visit home I always have to eat here. My top 3 favorite dishes are the Dutch baby, strawberry crepes, and ham and broccoli omelette with short stack of buttermilk pancakes. Be prepared to wait in long lines on the weekends.

The food here is excellent. The ingredients are fresh, the coffee is bottomless and served with real cream, the pancakes are served with real maple syrup and real butter, and there's nothing on this menu that is not first rate. Every time I fall in love with a particular dish, it vanishes from the menu. Clam and egg cakes, and the seafood omelette are two examples. The service is excellent. This place is pricey but worth it. I've been coming here for 40 years and will continue to. This place never disappoints. There are some menu items that are absolutely splendid like their Dutch Baby and Apple Pancake, but you should call ahead to order those because they take extra time.

I went here with a friend who has been coming to this location since they were a kid and they absolutely raved about how great and amazing the food was. I personally was not a fan of any of my food, possibly because I ordered what was recommended and not what I would've liked. I ordered the apple pancakes and it just wasn't what I thought it would be, I thought it would be nice fluffy pancakes with a nice amount of apples and glaze but it had some sort of egg batter between the layers and I wasn't a fan of it. I also ordered a ham and cheese omelette (which I would never order again) it was extremely fluffy, bland and just big.. I will try again but I will order things that I personally prefer. The customer service was great, it was clean and they took the proper COVID precautions for the safety of everyone.

AWWWHHH SSHHHIIITTT OOOOOHHHH GGGOOOOOOODDDD let's get one thing straight: this place makes good pancakes. of course it is implied in the name that they are the specialty. i had strawberry pancakes which were great, good coffee as well. restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere and the staff were pretty good. i like this place! wakey wakey! eggs and bakey! wakey pancake coffee orange juice good morning toothpaste. pancakes are good holy cow omg my god soooo good i love strawberry strawberries strawed berrys yummy maple syrup and butter and coffee and flap jacks and pancakes and pancake batter and pan jack flaps. strawberry egg toothpaste good morning america pancake.

We went to the Original Pancake House for breakfast today. They did some renovations, I like the new look but I miss the old one. I had the strawberry pancakes, they were good. I expected the strawberries to be in the pancakes but it was just plain pancakes with powdered sugar and strawberries on top. But I like it better like that anyways. The pancakes had strawberry syrup on the side that was okay, it was a little too sweet for me. The service was good but they changed how you pay. Instead of going up to the counter someone comes to your table. I'm not sure if that is just for the weekdays or something or if it's a permanent change. I'd give it four and a half stars but I can't do that. - MS

We went here before thanksgiving day. Had the mushroom crepes, chef was Keith. DELICIOUS. Thank you. 10 stars.

It was crowded, seating tome was reasonable. Good table service. Popular place on Main Street. Would recommend it.

The food is great as always but the redesign is so ugly. It smells and tastes like home but looks like I'm eating in a hotel lobby. Very upsetting and ruined my experience tbh. Y'all had a cozy little green Barnes and Noble/Cracker Barrel aesthetic and now it looks like a sad beige Hilton. You're in a HISTORIC VILLAGE EMBRACE IT!!!! Anyways I'm going to breakin eggs now for the atmosphere. RIP because I loved your food :/ womp womp
