The Original Pancake House

I have been here at least half a dozen times and I always hesitated to write a review. The food here is good. There, I said it. You cannot knock the quality of the food. That does not make up for the horribly slow service and outrageous prices. Some of the meals you get a lot of food, but at least half the menu is overpriced. A side of 4 bacon strips is $8. And with the sausage. Most crepes are $13 and you only get one filled crepe! The owner is a penny pincher and never hires enough wait staff. There are always too many water boys sitting around near the coffee pots, and too few waiters taking orders. I keep coming back because the food is good and hoping that my previous experiences were a fluke, but life is too short.

The food and service was excellent no complaints. I now know why no one has ever ever recommended this place. There is no reason I should be paying 9 dollars for 3 rather small pancakes. There should also be no reason a breakfast meal should cost over 50 dollars for 2 people. An omelette should not cost 17 dollars, 2 extra strips of bacon should not cost 5 dollars.........

We moved from an area where The Pancake House was one of the best breakfasts in town (large metro area), so I think my expectations were skewed. This isn't that. It's a diner, basically. If you come with that expectation, I think you'll be pleased. Friendly, willing to chat, and a general diner vibe.

We ate there this morning and I've been sick all day because I had a very greasy poorly served omelette. We hardly visit because it's WAY too expensive, the staff is usually rude and because we have a lot of very good options in Fremont like Skilletz, The country way, Baldie's caffe heck even Nations burgers has it better. We'll never going back!.

Waiter asked if we wanted coffee, I said no the my boyfriend said what he wanted and the waiter walked away before I could tell him what I wanted. A small glass of orange juice was $3 and it was about 8 ounces. The corned beef and hash was $17 and the corned beef was cheap lunch meat. My boyfriend got to the bottom of his meal and found a hair. Bad service and over priced, cheap food.
