The Original Pancake House Maple Grove

J.A.H.F

The waiters here are some of the best I've ever encountered. They were quite lively,easy-going, and especially helpful. Dara in particular was the key to my enjoyable experience. The food was filling as well. During my visit I ordered their signature apple pancake and it felt as if I had bitten into a thick cloud. Savoring each bite, I myself could only finish 3/4 before asking for a to-go box. While eating, you're played light jazz that provided a relaxing, swanky tone. If you're looking for the perfect sit down breakfast palace, look no further because with The Original Pancake House, satisfaction is guaranteed!

GET IN MY BELLY! This egg salad sandwich is unbelievably good. But, wait, there’s more. The fresh fruit with cream is divine. Our waitress behind the bar was a ray of sunshine. What a feel good place, belly up to the bar and have a great day.

Short review: Best breakfast in Maple Grove. Longer version: Many years ago you could get a buffet breakfast at a local hotel that was just stellar and would take the prize if it still existed. But OPH takes the crown now. The Maple Grove location is a large, clean establishment with a pleasant, professional staff. Despite being somewhat busy, I thought service was slow. Since this is a common problem these days due to the industry-wide staffing shortage I'm hesitant to be too critical. Two years ago I would have docked them a star. On our most recent visit the food was flawless. I ordered possibly the most perfectly cooked over-medium eggs I've ever had. Pancakes were delicious. Orange juice is fresh-squeezed which takes it to another level. the biggest surprise to me was the coffee: I don't remember it being this good. A bag of this coffee would make a nice gift for a coffee lover. Seriously. The restaurant currently has a crowdsourced rating of 2/5 ($$) for price. That's a little low I think. It's a bit pricier than other chain breakfasts like Denny's or Perkins, especially for meat sides. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but it is more expensive. I'd give it 3/5 ($$$).

Busy! The staff were very friendly even though the place was packed. The food was incredible. They have so many pancake options. I love the Baby Dutch, but you can choose from almost anything you can imagine. We sat at the counter and really enjoyed it.
