Original Pancake House

This is absolutely one of the best places for breakfast in Central oregon. The food is fantastic the service is great and the atmosphere is very nice. Sometimes there's a wait and it can become difficult to find parking nearby. But it's worth it every time. The veggie omelette and buckwheat pancakes are to die for.

We always dine in, with that said, we also live in Redmond and frequent that one often. Bend has good food; service is okay from the waiter/waitresses there. Not a lot of engagement from them and they add the gratuity/tip onto your ticket for parties of 4 or more. Redmond does not do this, therefor we tip bigger at Redmond branch. Also, Redmond staff, we have found are much more engaging with you/us. I take my clients there, I have staff meetings there, all in all Redmond is better. Bend location does have fairly quick wait times, their orange juice and bacon are the two best items on Original Pancake house menu in both locations. You can't go wrong with their omelets and the marionberry syrup is fantastic! Highly recommend asking for that. Atmosphere is relaxed, shorts, t-shirt, no need to dress up here, come as you are.

We loved the traditional diner environment, including the wait staff’s uniforms with aprons. The menu was mostly pancakes of all varieties, which makes sense. I prefer savory so I got sausage Pattie’s, eggs and potatoes. My husband got similar but with bacon. Both meals came with pancakes. Everything was very good. My husband wants to visit again and order the Apple Pancake, which looked so delicious. Plenty of parking, no wait, but there was a waitlist when we left.

40 minutes wait to get in on Father's Day. Worth every minute. No frills on decor but the menu is a different story. Great variety, even some low calorie options! But the bacon is the highlight for me. Thick and cooked properly. Service was attentive even with the crowd. Blueberry pancakes are exceptional don't need more than the 3 stack.
