The Original Pancake House

This place is right up the road from us and we decided to pop in for our traditional Saturday breakfast. I know this place is a chain, but the servers and regulars here were so welcoming.
Our daughter wasn't having the best of days and everyone was so nice in chatting and playing with her.the food was unreal and I think never really looked at the full menu before. Really different breakfast options along with great classic dishes.

I've been going here since the place opened waaaaay back in the 70s. It's become a tradition for me to go here around my b-day for my favorite pancakes and Toledo's best bacon, hands down...

The waitstaff is always on their game. Very fast and efficient. Always kind and eager to please. Even the bus folks will re-fill your water if needed. Really nice! Oh, it's super clean too!

My go to breakfast here is the 49 Flapjacks. These are almost like crepes. Really thin with a nice chew. They're as big as the plate they're served on, served with GOBS of delicious butter. These things are slightly sweet, golden brown and absolutely delicious - INSANE! The maddening thing is I can't figure out how they make them... God, I wish I could. The closest I can come to are Swedish pancakes, but they're just not the same. The other essential part of this breakfast is their bacon!

I don't know what brand of bacon they use (I was told Hormel Black Label, but I don't think it is...). It's thick sliced and cooked to absolute perfection, every time. Not too crispy with just the right amount of chew. Very smoky and slightly sweet. GOD, I WANT SOME RIGHT NOW!!!

Their coffee is also delicious. Those of you who like that insipid, weak, "hot water coffee" should probably get something else. Original's coffee is strong, full-flavored coffee.

Sooooooo, 1 thing about this place - it's expensive. That's why I tend to go here once per year. There are a few things you can do to cut down on the price...

Order a half order of the pancakes. It's plenty for a nice, hardy meal. Also, get a half order of bacon. Again, it's plenty for a nice meal (OK, I know I could eat waaaay more, but let's not be piggish!). A half order of pancakes, bacon and coffee will set you back $15 bucks. That's a lot for breakfast, but you can't get this stuff anywhere else. You either pay the price or go somewhere else and weep...

I've always enjoyed the original pancake in Toledo,Ohio must try the Dutch baby pancakes.there pancakes in general are the best tasting. Love the Ambiance, the service is amazing,

Been driving by this place for month and always wanted to stop today I said screw it im super hungry im gonna stop. So it's got a big parking lot it gets super busy up in here. Im here around 715am and it's pretty slow not a lot of people. The inside is all brick walls look , tables are wood and booths even move so fat people like me can sit. I ordered banana pancakes breakfast for right around ten dollars plus sit down get waited on so add $2 for the tip. So litterally under $13 for one meal . See pictures .

We've been frequenting this establishment for years! The best breakfast in Toledo! You really just can't go wrong! Staff has gotten friendlier over the years. Definitely try this place if you haven't!

Our waitresses name was Jenifer and she was very attentive and nice! Here there are many booths and smaller tables for all. The prices are quite reasonable and the food is good, I will not rave over one item but good is a great way to describe it!
Only complaint would be the entrance area and how it was a little confusing to get seated

This place is not vegan. There is no vegan menu. However, most of us vegans are skilled at piecing a meal together and that is what I did. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant itself has good space and is is bright. The food was hot when it came to the table and was delicious. It is a lot of food.

Great selection of pancakes and breakfast favorites with consistently good service in a clean, ho hum environment.

First time here was a success! Cute decor, good customer service, delicious food, reasonable prices. I will definitely be back.

The service was good and the pancakes and crepes were delicious.
The place is a little small but cozy
