The Original Pancake House

I'm not from Dayton and wanted to try a local brunch place. A gentleman took a phone order kindly and went to the restaurant about 40min later to pick up the order. Went cashier, and I had to initiate the conversation which was fine. I said I'm here to pick up the order, and she goes, "for..?" instead of saying can I have your name and such. I paid with a card, and she asked if I want a receipt, I said no, and she goes "ok...?" I was hoping to hear something like "someone is going to bring the food out here" and such, but no instruction was given. She was ready to take the next customer's bill behind me. I had to ask because I was standing awkwardly not knowing if the food is ready or not. She finally brought the food and I came back to my hotel room. They got the all food right, but there are no utensils and no napkins. I ordered scrambled eggs, and it was leaking from the white to-go box. If this was my home, that wouldn't be a problem, but I had to go down to the hotel lobby and get some utensils and napkins. I could tell that they don't do much take-out service. Food contains potential water or liquid they should put them in foil before putting in to-go box. Don't get me wrong, food was great. I got a strawberry pancake and it was great, if I'm coming back again to town, I might try dine-in, but not take out. Overall, it was pretty crowded around 11 am, there were 6 people waiting to be seated. I think they have enough parking space though. The pancake was good, but just a little lack of professionalism in customer service.

We got there about 930 am. The service was good, friendly and timely. The food was so good. Portion size was quite large. Coffee was good. Pricey, but I will go again for sure and would definitely recommend the Original Pancake House.

We took our daughter, who had never been there. We had a great time. My build you own scrambled eggs with cheddar, bacon, and sun dried tomatoes were amazing! Did I mention that three small pancakes came with the order? Our daughter ate a Playa crepe, and my husband ate build your own, with ham, cheddar, and mushrooms. His also came with three small pancakes. Wonderful breakfast. Great service, too!

I come here every couple weeks to meet a friend. This is his favorite spot. The food is good. I usually just get a basic breakfast. It's good every time. The service is fantastic. It can't be easy dealing with the public early in the morning. The servers are always pleasant, smiling, and take great care of their tables.
