The service is horrible. The place barely had any customers, and yet the service was still nonexistent. It took forever to get our food, and it was a mission to get a refill of coffee. The positive thing is that the food is good.

Great place to go with my Grandma and the family! You have to get the peanut butter pancakes, you must however ask to add some chocolate chips. Its like having peanut butter cup pancakes. Another great food to get there is the corn beef hash cannot go wrong! On the weekend make sure you know you will wait a long time because everyone goes there for breakfast!

I love pancakes, and this place serves them as hot and delicious as any other Pancake joint. Very good. The food comes out quick, too. Minor gripe is that the water with lemon is served in too small of a glass. I don't want to bother the busy waitress to refill it two or three times. Great breakfast!

Just do not go. Does not seem like the staff wanted to show up on the day I came. If I just came on a bad day, I'm sorry. But I highly do NOT recommend this location for Original pancake house. While the food came out great, the service was totally not worth it. Every one around us was not getting their orders, was receiving their food really late, and were very angry about that. I commend all the hard workers that were there that day for keeping up with the high volume of customers, but it just didn't work out.

I loved the decor of this place.There was not a wait and this was on Christmas eve morning. The menu was full of different dishes to choose from. My boyfriend wanted to try a particular dish called the Dutch or Danish Garden but was told it would take 30 minutes to prepare. Needless to say he did not order that. I ordered the Huevos Ranchero with a side of grits that were runny and tasteless. He ordered a chicken crepe which he raved about continuously. I will go again but for sure I will order something different. It did get busy after awhile and we waited a bit just to pay...All in all it was still a nice change from the usual Denny's and IHOP.

I have been dying to try this restaurant, as I truly believe pancakes are one of nature's most perfect foods. If I could eat them for breakfast every day, I would. Does it get any better than sugar and carbs for breakfast? I had pretty high expectations for this place because of their pancake specialty. Well, I'm happy to report this place did not disappoint. Fantastic breakfast in an atmosphere much nicer (and cleaner!) than your average breakfast joint. Folks, this ain't no Denny's and it shows. Our waitress, Shirley, was very friendly and full of helpful advice on our first visit to the restaurant. She didn't try to sell us on any of the pricey specials, instead she asked what we were looking for and then recommended accordingly. I appreciated that. You might experience a bit of sticker shock when you open up the book-like menu, but the prices are more than worth it, quality and quantity wise. We tried the 2 eggs/2 pancakes/2 sausage and potatoes combo and the banana pancakes from the kids' menu, both on her recommendation. I was wary about how big the portions would be from the kids menu, but I trusted her when she said there was no difference in the portions. I received four large, delicious banana pancakes with sliced bananas on top, and a tall glass of milk was included. Not bad for $3.99! If you can believe it, the 2-2-2 special was an even bigger portion, so much so that we shared some of the eggs and pancakes. If you don't like pancakes, fear not. They have tons of other specials (remember, the menu is a small novel): waffles, omelets, crepes, french toast, you name it, they have it. If not, they'll probably make it. The menu is slightly different than what you find online, but that's a minor issue. We found the restaurant delightfully uncrowded at 7am on a Saturday, but I would imagine it gets pretty busy around brunchtime. Go early and savor these awesome pancakes, you won't be disappointed.

Great food, very very busy on weekends. It's not terribly cheap, but the food is more than solid. Nothing I've had here disappointed, and while the service can be a little slow (did I mention that it's busy?), it's what you would expect at a popular location during busy times. Don't order off menu though. My wife wanted her meal plus one crepe (standard order is 3), and they charge almost as much for 1. If you are in the area, and especially if it's not Saturday/Sunday morning, it's definitely worth a stop.

This place is very busy Saturday mornings, but that much is expected for a breakfast joint. Their food is outstanding. The portions are very large (especially the omelettes), but they are very generous with their ingredients. My omelette was PACKED and extremely fluffy. My boyfriend had the Eggs Benedict, which he rated 4/5. I love how they have so many options and they are very understanding when it comes to personal preferences. The biscuits and gravy are delicious. You can get the gravy with our without sausage (which I was extremely happy to see, since most restaurants don't have that option). I definitely recommend The Original Pancake House.

Unfortunately my experience wasn't too good. The reason I gave it 2 stars is because the older gentlemen at the door (host) was very nice and friendly. But everything else besides the freshly squeezed OJ was horrible. For the price we paid, for me and my husband, I would assume and hope the food would be phenomenal due to the name and prices. But in my opinion the pancakes were the worst I have ever had. My sausage was burnt and my pancakes were under cooked. On top of it my server did not check on us once, we had to stop another waitress to get a refill. I would not recommend this place to anyone!..

The service is above average. Most days they are very busy with 2 waitresses. Food is very good, love the way they cook the bacon and they use fresh ingredients. Reminds me of a more upscale IHOP.

This location was terrible. I could write a book on the things that went wrong there. From the manager on down. No customer service skills, food took forever to be delivered, no checking in on our service. Very robotic. Food wasn't even good. Sorry, will eat elsewhere.

My husband and I ended up here today after leaving another Coral Springs breakfast spot before being seating because of a bad experience. This place is ok - just like an IHOP or Dennys really. They told us the wait was 10 mins but was actually 20. The waitress took our order then brought our order but never came back again until she saw us getting up to leave. The only napkin I had was the one wrapped around my silverware. We had asked her for more napkins but she never brought them. They over cooked my husband's pancakes and under cooked his eggs - he asked over medium but they were over easy. I only got one refill of coffee and that was when she was taking our order. She didn't refill it even when she brought our food. So - this place should probably be your last resort if you really need breakfast.

Ryan S.
This place is perfect for breakfast. My wife and I have been here twice now, and both times we both left satisfied. The pancakes are a must with any breakfast item you pick. The size of your meal is well worth the price. The place is about the average size of any dinner, and it looks more traditional than most. The staff is super friendly and keep the place well maintained. Waiting for the food is a bit hit or miss. First time it took a while for our food to come out, second time the food was out quickly, both times it was about the same amount of customers.

The have the best corned beef hash. They make it with real corned beef not the canned like most places. Their omelets are also very good they oven baked them to make them really fluffy and are too large to eat in one sitting. Also their orange juice is real fresh squeezed. Would highly recommend for breakfast and will most certainly be back again.

Joanne T.
The food is okay, nothing to go crazy about. The service is inconsistent. One day the service is good, the other day we're standing and waiting to get seated for a while lol so we decided to just get menus and sit ourselves. The place wasn't even busy and all the employees were just staring at us. I still come every now and then with my family to grab some food.

My first time to this location, went to celebrate my grandson's birthday and was very disappointed. 4 out of 6 order bacon but no bacon. How can a breakfast place run out of bacon? No apology, just oh we don't have bacon. The waitress was slow and didn't refill the drinks. They did discount the meal by a few dollars but I won't be going back again.

Decided to head here on a saturday morning after IHOP was as usual had a wait that was ridiculous. Arrived here and had a small wait. Sat outside on the comfy bench and enjoyed the weather while we waited. 10 min later we were inside. Great waitress. Yummy yummy food. The hash browns were outta this world. Cant wait to return.

Edmund F.
Woo. What a goat screw! I ordered pancakes and biscuits and gravy. I thought the pancakes would have a least salvaged the meal on the account it is in the name of the restaurant. Pancakes were burnt. Gross. The biscuits and gravy lived up to their other name (sh!t on a shingle). I'm not against the original pancake house... Just the Atlantic blvd. location. If you want to taste real pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and other delights prepared to perfection I suggest a drive to the broward blvd location. Much better.

Food is what you would expect. We had a hard time getting our waitress to see us at first, she didn't greet us. Just asked if we were ready to order food, didn't introduce or get a name from her. We got water with an empty Splenda packet inside. Got a new glass and it was cracked and dripping everywhere. Coffee was good until we put milk in, it curdled :( Chocolate chip pancakes only had a couple chips on top. On the upside we got bacon inside the bacon waffle and the chocolate strawberry creeps were good.

Dave R.
This pancake house is awful compared to the one in Boca. Lousy, mindless service, smaller portions, and the same price. We had to ask three people for a coffee refill (the manager took care of it for us). If you can, go to the PH in Boca for a better experience.

Food was alright, American diner food and modern theme interior. I had the eggs benedict and honestly nothing to rant about. Only the hollandaise sauce tasted freshly made. Room was a bit cold and affected the food, pancake turned into a brick while pancakes right next to it was still warm.

Tanya L.
Super hungry and we waited 15mins to be seated (not bad) but the best is yet to happen.... It took our waiter 30 mins to bring us the menus and then we waited a long time to have our order taken... then waited for an hour to get our food and watching a man across me lick the syrup dispenser. I was just horrible! I wanted to puke. :( The table behind us was a group of 6 and they received the wrong food so they asked for the manager (which she was there) but kept telling the waiter that she didn't have time to speak to them. It was just all a mess. She was so rude and did not care about customer service. I will never return to this place.

Was there yesterday and had the ham turkey & cheese sandwich. Bland tasting. Thankfully there was salt & pepper at the table to season the food. Nice waitress though. Bad thing is an hour later started feeling ill and spent most of the night fighting food poisoning. Still have some serious stomach pains. I will never eat there again, that's for sure.

This place was awful! Came on a Sunday morning and the line was out the door with 7 tables completely cleaned and empty inside! After waiting 20 minutes we noticed that our name had been crossed off the wait list and the manager said he had "called our name already" even though we were standing directly in front of him the entire time! Waitress was rude when we told her we were ready to order said with a coffee pot in her hand, "well obviously I can't take your order right now". Overall the food wasn't awful but the management and wait staff are terrible!

Just J.
I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon.... was seated immediately and served coffee and water right then and there. I read the reviews while I was waiting. Weird huh? Anyway, the reviews were mostly negative...wait times, bad food...wrong food....bad service. Menu clearly states that some of the items take 20 minutes to prepare....okay, whatever. Probably longer if the place is packed. Don't be a hater just cuz the food is late...but be a hater if the service is bad and the food is bad or wrong. For me...good service, good food (had the Irish omlette, tons of corned beef hash too) and prompt delivery. Will your experience be the same? Go and find out yourself....I will go back here..... and to plenty of other places in the area.

John G.
Food was decent, the waiting time was short but the service was horrible. Our server never came to check up on us, no refill on the coffee and left us with no napkins. Every time I go there is a bad experience, my girlfriend just loves the food, but honestly I'm not going back there rather spend my money where the service is better and I feel im wanted as a customer.

I make the short drive out to the Original Pancake House on at least one occasion every time I'm in town visiting the family. The food is consistently good, from the large selection of crepes (I love the fruit and yogurt one) to the variations of Eggs Benedict (my "usual"). The coffee flows freely, and the orange juice is freshly squeezed using a see-through contraption that allows you to watch it happen. The only down side.... why no bagels? I can't remember the last time I went to a breakfast place (besides this one, obviously) that didn't carry any bagels.

JL Q.
We went here for breakfast on a Friday morning and were seated immediately. The tables in the central dining area were completely empty and there were several empty booths so this was not a busy time to visit. But with the speed of the service we got, that's what you would have thought. It took longer than I would have thought was reasonable just to get our water. Maybe they thought they'd make us wait just for not getting anything that cost money. We both wanted pancakes but I wanted an order of bacon to go along with it. But, the bacon was almost as expensive as the pancakes so I ordered the bacon and eggs breakfast with pancakes i/s/o toast. I also ordered my bacon soft and was surprised when it came out exactly as I ordered it. Since I ate my pancakes before starting on my hashed browns and eggs, I figured they'd be cold but they surprised me when they were still hot, and not warm, either! All in all, I was satisfied with my found as was my husband. But it took over 25 minutes to bring our order out and that was too long in my book.

Homemade cornbeef and hash was great. Best in town! Ham and cheese omelet also great. We were very happy with everything.
(5)
Gio L.
I cannot believe the bacon. It was cooked to order, thick, and full of perfect flavor. No restaurant seems to prepare bacon at the time of ordering. Seems like they all precook it to death and serve it all day long. My waitress was the best. A southern bell full of energy and smiles. Coffee cup never saw empty. Can't wait I return.

Kerrie M.
Service has degraded. An hour & a half for 4 people to get their meals. The Irish Omelette was distinctly lacking Corned Beef Hash. The only reason we received everything was because after an hour we started complaining. Maybe we should have started sooner.

Bad service... and so-so food. Sat at my table Watching a server eating food in the kitchen within view of the guests. Manager came over and asked if there was anything he can do for us. We expected him to comp something but he said "no, I'm sorry, I can not. I comp coffee for you?" Find somewhere else to eat in Coral Springs

Jessica D.
We absolutely love the food here but hate the crowds and long lines of people waiting to be seated on the weekends. I usually order one of their awesome omelettes with pancakes and a side of sausage links. The food here is very good, the service is overall pretty good and the restaurant itself is clean. Like I said once you actually get seated everything is uphill from there. If you don't mind a slight wait then we recommend the original pancake house.

Good variety of breakfast foods and quality, but the seats in this restaurant could use some repair. Seriously, the bench seats looked like an old worn out school bus and I have not been on a bus in 20 years, so I am going off memory.

Joseph M.
Well folks, I wish I could say I TASTED the food, maybe its great or maybe its not, but when I went to this place yesterday, I was seated right away, only to be completely ignored by the staff for over 15 mins. ( After which I walked out) Servers walked right by and did not offer me so much as water or ' I'll be right with you", Were they busy? to a point, but there were also plenty of empty booths and tables. I'll NEVER return and this place has NO CHANCE of getting my business ever again. I'll NEVER forget the experience and I'll be talking negatively about it for the next 10 years. You know what they say, a positive experience makes for a good memory, but a negative experience is something you never forget OR forgive. My review? Don't bother. Plenty of other places in Coral Springs to have breakfast where they will take care of you immediately.

This was our first visit to this location. Our wait time was a short 15 minutes for a Sunday morning. Our waitress was great, the food service was excellent and the atmosphere sort of felt like a family meal. It was quite chilly for my wife but the coffee cups stayed hot and full. We will definitely keep this on our list of weekend breakfast options.

I'm sorry, but I'd rather take my money to Denny's. Syrup is funky as someone said before. Pancakes also not tasty at all. Eggs were ok, but bacon was pretty good... Still how can you mess up bacon? In the end, I'm not coming back.

I honestly don't know how people eat here. The food was very bland, and left me feeling like I just wasted a meal. I was no longer hungry, and yet I didn't have that delicious breakfast that I wake up craving every morning. The only thing that was decent was the pancakes. They weren't very big, but they had a decent flavor to them. Not great, just decent. Although the disgusting maple syrup ruined them completely. Something just did not taste right. The bacon was gross, and the potatoes were lacking (I had them add sauteed onions, and that still didn't help). The only thing I really enjoyed here was the orange juice; it was fresh-squeezed. The wait is insane if you show up after 9am, and I don't even understand how this place gets that flooded with people considering how lackluster the food is. The only thing I couldn't complain about was the service, but considering other reviews, it sounds like I just got lucky. I would give this place two stars, but I got food poisoning from this place, so they get one. To add insult to injury, not only was the food foul, but it made me sick. It wasn't even worth it. I know this because I didn't have lunch, and about 6-7 hours after eating here is when I started getting sick. Right before I sat down at Rok:Brgr to have a delicious burger for dinner. Damn you, Original Pancake House, for ruining that experience for me. I'm still sick right now!

I love the Original Pancake House - used to eat there all the time in NJ, and was very happy to find that there is one here in Florida. The standard breakfast fare is fine, of course, but the real reason to come here is the Dutch Baby, an amazing creation, a sort of huge pop-over with powdered sugar, and best if you squeeze some lemon on it. The Apple Baby is also something else - a huge pancake covered with apples and cinnemon. Tasty! OK, the buckwheat pancakes, sausage, waffles, etc., are all very good, too. Went today (Saturday brunch), around noon, and service was fine. The waitress was quite nice, even while my kids changed their minds a half dozen times.

huge menu huge variety lots of choices coffee was a bit weak. eggs were good, turkey sausage patty was good, home fries good, granola pancakes a true disappointment., looked like someone just poured raw granola on top,. eek ...server was very friendly and nice. bf got some kinda georgia pecan waffle he enjoyed. I think I may be an IHOP girl. but may be back one day

Exceptional breakfast! I'm a huge fan of their pancakes. Their location has moved a few miles away. They are now located at: 10599 W Atlantic Blvd, Coral Springs, FL 33071. They are located in the north-east corner of Atlantic Blvd & Coral Springs Drive in the Walmart plaza.

I took the grandparents and extended family for a 930am breakfast on a weekday - the location had a reasonable number of customers, but allowed for us to easily get seated at an 8-seater (perfect for our group) - they had at least 4 or 5 of these larger tables pre-set, so this was one of the easiest meals for our family for the week we were together. We had good service, with coffees brought out right away and quickly refilled, with server checking on our reg/decaf preferences right away. they definitely know how to keep the breakfast eaters happy! Food came out quickly, everybody ate up and was happy. Great server, kept checking in regularly. There are plenty of large sized meals, I ordered huevos rancheros, which were a fairly reasonable size and I was happy with them.

In Coral Springs, decent breakfast places are far and few between. Dennys or Panera Bread? Now, you don't have to make the radical choice. That's where Original Pancake House stepped in. Pancakes, eggs, breakfast potatoes, all were very serviceable and waitress was prompt. They also have a huge extended breakfast menu including crepes. Mmmmm....strawberry syrup on pancakes. Would come back again.

M G.
I did not have a problem with the food, but would not return due to service. The servers got into a screaming match over non-work issues in the kitchen area and generally hung out there, which made the patrons feel a bit crunchy. It was an hour until mid-day closing, and when we asked for coffee, we were told it had run out (this is a breakfast place!) with no hint that more would be made. There did not appear to be any grown up management in the place. Many restaurants have inhabited this storefront, and I don't think this one will last either.

I feel bad writing this because of the good reviews. I just didn't like the place. The restaurant looks very clean to the point it almost looks new. The service was ok. They had one server working the entire restaurant which only had six tables filled. Our server was friendly, but she was running around at a good clip. My kids had the regular pancakes and bacon. Both of them said they were good. I thought they looked alittle small. I had a grilled turkey, ham, and extra swiss sandwich with hash-browns and some coffee. The server recommended the hash-browns since they were new on the menu. When the server brought me my food she immediately said I can bring you the fried potatoes if you don't like the hash-browns. I saw what she was thinking, the hash-browns looked horrible. They looked like a big blob of undercooked soggy potatoes and they tasted like it. Back to the kitchen they went and she brought me the home fries. They looked much better and tasted ok. My sandwich was alittle light on the meat for an eight buck meal and it tasted greasy. Not very good. The bright point of the meal was the coffee and having breakfast with my kids. The coffee tasted great and the company was even better:) Can't recommend this one ladies and gents, Stay Hungry!

Been here twice, and twice I have received shitty service. The first time we went was on a Saturday morning and it was 8 of us. We literally did not get out drinks for 45 minutes and took another hour and half to get our food. Not to mention that they had the entire order wrong. It's what happens when you don't write the order on paper and think you're the grand master of waitressing. Second time was nearly a month ago, and again another shitty waiter and not a very bright one at that (kept on pouring coffee over my 2 year old niece when I told him not to several times). Took about 30 minutes to get drinks, another hour to get food. Food is good except for their biscuits and gravy. Biscuits are small and the gravy, well it was oily and soupy looking, so in other words, I don't suggest it at all. Will I go back? Definite No, for good food and better service, I'll just go to Denny's or IHOP

If your name is "Original Pancake House" you'd better deliver. This place does. Blueberry pancakes mmmm... crispy Bacon mmmmm... What more could you want? How about pumpkin pancakes that are so good they practically melt in your mouth and strawberry pancakes with fresh (Did I say fresh?) strawberries. Generous portions and attentive (coffee refills) service. Who could ask for more? Nice size portions and attentive service, who could ask for more? How about one in Brooklyn? PLEASE!

The best breakfast you can have in Coral Springs hands down. They have been around many years now and I have never once been upset with any food or service I have received here. Favorite food here is the pancakes, They are all amazing you can't go wrong. They also have amazingly tasty (and very big) crepes that I love. The orange juice is made fresh and is nearly addicting. Seriously, if you have not been here clear a morning on the weekend and check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Eric B.
A group of us stopped by for breakfast on Saturday morning. It's probably the nicest chain breakfast place I've been to; it feels more upscale (heh) than an IHOP or Denny's. We received good service. My breakfast (the Irish omelette - swiss cheese and corned beef hash) was alright but underseasoned. One thing to note - if you're the type that likes to eat breakfast for dinner (or later) then this isn't the restaurant for you; it closes at 4 PM.

Our waitress, Shirley, was very friendly and full of helpful advice on our first visit to the restaurant. She didn't try to sell us on any of the pricey specials, instead she asked what we were looking for and then recommended accordingly. I appreciated that. You might experience a bit of sticker shock when you open up the book-like menu, but the prices are more than worth it, quality and quantity wise. We tried the 2 eggs/2 pancakes/2 sausage and potatoes combo and the banana pancakes from the kids' menu, both on her recommendation. I was wary about how big the portions would be from the kids menu, but I trusted her when she said there was no difference in the portions. I received four large, delicious banana pancakes with sliced bananas on top, and a tall glass of milk was included. Not bad for $3.99! If you can believe it, the 2-2-2 special was an even bigger portion, so much so that we shared some of the eggs and pancakes. If you don't like pancakes, fear not. They have tons of other specials (remember, the menu is a small novel): waffles, omelets, crepes, french toast, you name it, they have it. If not, they'll probably make it. The menu is slightly different than what you find online, but that's a minor issue. We found the restaurant delightfully uncrowded at 7am on a Saturday, but I would imagine it gets pretty busy around brunchtime. Go early and savor these awesome pancakes, you won't be disappointed.

Great food, very very busy on weekends. It's not terribly cheap, but the food is more than solid. Nothing I've had here disappointed, and while the service can be a little slow (did I mention that it's busy?), it's what you would expect at a popular location during busy times. Don't order off menu though. My wife wanted her meal plus one crepe (standard order is 3), and they charge almost as much for 1. If you are in the area, and especially if it's not Saturday/Sunday morning, it's definitely worth a stop.

The reviews are right! The apple pancake was amazing!!!!!

This place is very busy Saturday mornings, but that much is expected for a breakfast joint. Their food is outstanding. The portions are very large (especially the omelettes), but they are very generous with their ingredients. My omelette was PACKED and extremely fluffy. My boyfriend had the Eggs Benedict, which he rated 4/5. I love how they have so many options and they are very understanding when it comes to personal preferences. The biscuits and gravy are delicious. You can get the gravy with our without sausage (which I was extremely happy to see, since most restaurants don't have that option). I definitely recommend The Original Pancake House.

Unfortunately my experience wasn't too good. The reason I gave it 2 stars is because the older gentlemen at the door (host) was very nice and friendly. But everything else besides the freshly squeezed OJ was horrible. For the price we paid, for me and my husband, I would assume and hope the food would be phenomenal due to the name and prices. But in my opinion the pancakes were the worst I have ever had. My sausage was burnt and my pancakes were under cooked. On top of it my server did not check on us once, we had to stop another waitress to get a refill. I would not recommend this place to anyone!..
(2)Missy S.
What a fun and delicious place in another one of Florida's ubiquitous strip malls. We tried the Dutch pancake, latkes, rainbow pancakes, and banana brown sugar French toast and everything was really tasty!
(5)Kent L.
The service is above average. Most days they are very busy with 2 waitresses. Food is very good, love the way they cook the bacon and they use fresh ingredients. Reminds me of a more upscale IHOP.
(4)Alan G.
This location was terrible. I could write a book on the things that went wrong there. From the manager on down. No customer service skills, food took forever to be delivered, no checking in on our service. Very robotic. Food wasn't even good. Sorry, will eat elsewhere.
(1)Amanda P.
My husband and I ended up here today after leaving another Coral Springs breakfast spot before being seating because of a bad experience. This place is ok - just like an IHOP or Dennys really. They told us the wait was 10 mins but was actually 20. The waitress took our order then brought our order but never came back again until she saw us getting up to leave. The only napkin I had was the one wrapped around my silverware. We had asked her for more napkins but she never brought them. They over cooked my husband's pancakes and under cooked his eggs - he asked over medium but they were over easy. I only got one refill of coffee and that was when she was taking our order. She didn't refill it even when she brought our food. So - this place should probably be your last resort if you really need breakfast.
(3)Ryan S.
This place is perfect for breakfast. My wife and I have been here twice now, and both times we both left satisfied. The pancakes are a must with any breakfast item you pick. The size of your meal is well worth the price. The place is about the average size of any dinner, and it looks more traditional than most. The staff is super friendly and keep the place well maintained. Waiting for the food is a bit hit or miss. First time it took a while for our food to come out, second time the food was out quickly, both times it was about the same amount of customers.
(4)Chris E.
The have the best corned beef hash. They make it with real corned beef not the canned like most places. Their omelets are also very good they oven baked them to make them really fluffy and are too large to eat in one sitting. Also their orange juice is real fresh squeezed. Would highly recommend for breakfast and will most certainly be back again.
(4)Joanne T.
The food is okay, nothing to go crazy about. The service is inconsistent. One day the service is good, the other day we're standing and waiting to get seated for a while lol so we decided to just get menus and sit ourselves. The place wasn't even busy and all the employees were just staring at us. I still come every now and then with my family to grab some food.
(3)Kathy G.
My first time to this location, went to celebrate my grandson's birthday and was very disappointed. 4 out of 6 order bacon but no bacon. How can a breakfast place run out of bacon? No apology, just oh we don't have bacon. The waitress was slow and didn't refill the drinks. They did discount the meal by a few dollars but I won't be going back again.
(1)Jessie L.
Excellent breakfast spot! Portions are generous and thr food is tasty! The fresh squeezed orange juice and grapefruit juice are also great! The staff is friendly and the service is quick. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good old fashioned breakfast!
(4)Minerva M.
The skillet is amazing!! Great coffee, pancakes and steak and eggs!! We really enjoy the food and the fast service. Thank you
(5)Mrs. Heidi R.
Decided to head here on a saturday morning after IHOP was as usual had a wait that was ridiculous. Arrived here and had a small wait. Sat outside on the comfy bench and enjoyed the weather while we waited. 10 min later we were inside. Great waitress. Yummy yummy food. The hash browns were outta this world. Cant wait to return.
(5)Edmund F.
Woo. What a goat screw! I ordered pancakes and biscuits and gravy. I thought the pancakes would have a least salvaged the meal on the account it is in the name of the restaurant. Pancakes were burnt. Gross. The biscuits and gravy lived up to their other name (sh!t on a shingle). I'm not against the original pancake house... Just the Atlantic blvd. location. If you want to taste real pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and other delights prepared to perfection I suggest a drive to the broward blvd location. Much better.
(1)Ryan E.
Food is what you would expect. We had a hard time getting our waitress to see us at first, she didn't greet us. Just asked if we were ready to order food, didn't introduce or get a name from her. We got water with an empty Splenda packet inside. Got a new glass and it was cracked and dripping everywhere. Coffee was good until we put milk in, it curdled :( Chocolate chip pancakes only had a couple chips on top. On the upside we got bacon inside the bacon waffle and the chocolate strawberry creeps were good.
(3)Dave R.
This pancake house is awful compared to the one in Boca. Lousy, mindless service, smaller portions, and the same price. We had to ask three people for a coffee refill (the manager took care of it for us). If you can, go to the PH in Boca for a better experience.
(1)Debbi N.
The egg white omlette is huge and puffy. Great service. Great pancakes with good syrup. The menu is huge. Great meeting spot for a mini family reunion. The coffee was flowing and the place is clean and easy to get to.
(4)Tommy N.
Food was alright, American diner food and modern theme interior. I had the eggs benedict and honestly nothing to rant about. Only the hollandaise sauce tasted freshly made. Room was a bit cold and affected the food, pancake turned into a brick while pancakes right next to it was still warm.
(3)Tanya L.
Super hungry and we waited 15mins to be seated (not bad) but the best is yet to happen.... It took our waiter 30 mins to bring us the menus and then we waited a long time to have our order taken... then waited for an hour to get our food and watching a man across me lick the syrup dispenser. I was just horrible! I wanted to puke. :( The table behind us was a group of 6 and they received the wrong food so they asked for the manager (which she was there) but kept telling the waiter that she didn't have time to speak to them. It was just all a mess. She was so rude and did not care about customer service. I will never return to this place.
(1)Julie L.
Was there yesterday and had the ham turkey & cheese sandwich. Bland tasting. Thankfully there was salt & pepper at the table to season the food. Nice waitress though. Bad thing is an hour later started feeling ill and spent most of the night fighting food poisoning. Still have some serious stomach pains. I will never eat there again, that's for sure.
(1)Nathan S.
Great place and atmosphere for the family very friendly waiters and waitresses I recommend this place to everybody.
(5)Jessica S.
This place was awful! Came on a Sunday morning and the line was out the door with 7 tables completely cleaned and empty inside! After waiting 20 minutes we noticed that our name had been crossed off the wait list and the manager said he had "called our name already" even though we were standing directly in front of him the entire time! Waitress was rude when we told her we were ready to order said with a coffee pot in her hand, "well obviously I can't take your order right now". Overall the food wasn't awful but the management and wait staff are terrible!
(2)Just J.
I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon.... was seated immediately and served coffee and water right then and there. I read the reviews while I was waiting. Weird huh? Anyway, the reviews were mostly negative...wait times, bad food...wrong food....bad service. Menu clearly states that some of the items take 20 minutes to prepare....okay, whatever. Probably longer if the place is packed. Don't be a hater just cuz the food is late...but be a hater if the service is bad and the food is bad or wrong. For me...good service, good food (had the Irish omlette, tons of corned beef hash too) and prompt delivery. Will your experience be the same? Go and find out yourself....I will go back here..... and to plenty of other places in the area.
(4)John G.
Food was decent, the waiting time was short but the service was horrible. Our server never came to check up on us, no refill on the coffee and left us with no napkins. Every time I go there is a bad experience, my girlfriend just loves the food, but honestly I'm not going back there rather spend my money where the service is better and I feel im wanted as a customer.
(2)Jeff K.
I make the short drive out to the Original Pancake House on at least one occasion every time I'm in town visiting the family. The food is consistently good, from the large selection of crepes (I love the fruit and yogurt one) to the variations of Eggs Benedict (my "usual"). The coffee flows freely, and the orange juice is freshly squeezed using a see-through contraption that allows you to watch it happen. The only down side.... why no bagels? I can't remember the last time I went to a breakfast place (besides this one, obviously) that didn't carry any bagels.
(4)JL Q.
We went here for breakfast on a Friday morning and were seated immediately. The tables in the central dining area were completely empty and there were several empty booths so this was not a busy time to visit. But with the speed of the service we got, that's what you would have thought. It took longer than I would have thought was reasonable just to get our water. Maybe they thought they'd make us wait just for not getting anything that cost money. We both wanted pancakes but I wanted an order of bacon to go along with it. But, the bacon was almost as expensive as the pancakes so I ordered the bacon and eggs breakfast with pancakes i/s/o toast. I also ordered my bacon soft and was surprised when it came out exactly as I ordered it. Since I ate my pancakes before starting on my hashed browns and eggs, I figured they'd be cold but they surprised me when they were still hot, and not warm, either! All in all, I was satisfied with my found as was my husband. But it took over 25 minutes to bring our order out and that was too long in my book.
(3)Angela E.
Homemade cornbeef and hash was great. Best in town! Ham and cheese omelet also great. We were very happy with everything.
(5)Gio L.
I cannot believe the bacon. It was cooked to order, thick, and full of perfect flavor. No restaurant seems to prepare bacon at the time of ordering. Seems like they all precook it to death and serve it all day long. My waitress was the best. A southern bell full of energy and smiles. Coffee cup never saw empty. Can't wait I return.
(5)Kerrie M.
Service has degraded. An hour & a half for 4 people to get their meals. The Irish Omelette was distinctly lacking Corned Beef Hash. The only reason we received everything was because after an hour we started complaining. Maybe we should have started sooner.
(1)Aaron L.
Bad service... and so-so food. Sat at my table Watching a server eating food in the kitchen within view of the guests. Manager came over and asked if there was anything he can do for us. We expected him to comp something but he said "no, I'm sorry, I can not. I comp coffee for you?" Find somewhere else to eat in Coral Springs
(1)Jessica D.
We absolutely love the food here but hate the crowds and long lines of people waiting to be seated on the weekends. I usually order one of their awesome omelettes with pancakes and a side of sausage links. The food here is very good, the service is overall pretty good and the restaurant itself is clean. Like I said once you actually get seated everything is uphill from there. If you don't mind a slight wait then we recommend the original pancake house.
(4)Bill S.
Good variety of breakfast foods and quality, but the seats in this restaurant could use some repair. Seriously, the bench seats looked like an old worn out school bus and I have not been on a bus in 20 years, so I am going off memory.
(3)Joseph M.
Well folks, I wish I could say I TASTED the food, maybe its great or maybe its not, but when I went to this place yesterday, I was seated right away, only to be completely ignored by the staff for over 15 mins. ( After which I walked out) Servers walked right by and did not offer me so much as water or ' I'll be right with you", Were they busy? to a point, but there were also plenty of empty booths and tables. I'll NEVER return and this place has NO CHANCE of getting my business ever again. I'll NEVER forget the experience and I'll be talking negatively about it for the next 10 years. You know what they say, a positive experience makes for a good memory, but a negative experience is something you never forget OR forgive. My review? Don't bother. Plenty of other places in Coral Springs to have breakfast where they will take care of you immediately.
(1)Wayne L.
This was our first visit to this location. Our wait time was a short 15 minutes for a Sunday morning. Our waitress was great, the food service was excellent and the atmosphere sort of felt like a family meal. It was quite chilly for my wife but the coffee cups stayed hot and full. We will definitely keep this on our list of weekend breakfast options.
(5)Adrianna U.
I'm sorry, but I'd rather take my money to Denny's. Syrup is funky as someone said before. Pancakes also not tasty at all. Eggs were ok, but bacon was pretty good... Still how can you mess up bacon? In the end, I'm not coming back.
(1)Raf P.
The chocolate milk tastes weird in a bad way. The peanut butter pancakes are amazing.
(3)Lena L.
Pancakes good, but everything was flavorless ...
(2)Joey E.
I honestly don't know how people eat here. The food was very bland, and left me feeling like I just wasted a meal. I was no longer hungry, and yet I didn't have that delicious breakfast that I wake up craving every morning. The only thing that was decent was the pancakes. They weren't very big, but they had a decent flavor to them. Not great, just decent. Although the disgusting maple syrup ruined them completely. Something just did not taste right. The bacon was gross, and the potatoes were lacking (I had them add sauteed onions, and that still didn't help). The only thing I really enjoyed here was the orange juice; it was fresh-squeezed. The wait is insane if you show up after 9am, and I don't even understand how this place gets that flooded with people considering how lackluster the food is. The only thing I couldn't complain about was the service, but considering other reviews, it sounds like I just got lucky. I would give this place two stars, but I got food poisoning from this place, so they get one. To add insult to injury, not only was the food foul, but it made me sick. It wasn't even worth it. I know this because I didn't have lunch, and about 6-7 hours after eating here is when I started getting sick. Right before I sat down at Rok:Brgr to have a delicious burger for dinner. Damn you, Original Pancake House, for ruining that experience for me. I'm still sick right now!

Great place for fantastic pancakes. The apple baby is amazing.

Good Food, Slow Service, Good Price....
(3)Peyton B.
May have been an "off" day, but the service and food were sub par. Had to catch the attention of waitress for coffee refills and was never asked about meal after it was delivered.
(4)Kasey H.
Excellent food!! The service was not good. Was slow on refills and the food was slow getting out. Forgot items that we had ordered, but the food made up for it. Everything was excellent!
(4)Chuck M.
Been here twice and never again!! This is the managements philosphy. You dont like the food and had only two bites?? Too Bad!!! Now heres your bill with no discount for the horrible experience. Both times the food has sucked and someone should run a background check on its employees. Place is a dump. AVOID AVOID AVOID
(1)Laird P.
I love the Original Pancake House - used to eat there all the time in NJ, and was very happy to find that there is one here in Florida. The standard breakfast fare is fine, of course, but the real reason to come here is the Dutch Baby, an amazing creation, a sort of huge pop-over with powdered sugar, and best if you squeeze some lemon on it. The Apple Baby is also something else - a huge pancake covered with apples and cinnemon. Tasty! OK, the buckwheat pancakes, sausage, waffles, etc., are all very good, too. Went today (Saturday brunch), around noon, and service was fine. The waitress was quite nice, even while my kids changed their minds a half dozen times.
(5)Monika K.
huge menu huge variety lots of choices coffee was a bit weak. eggs were good, turkey sausage patty was good, home fries good, granola pancakes a true disappointment., looked like someone just poured raw granola on top,. eek ...server was very friendly and nice. bf got some kinda georgia pecan waffle he enjoyed. I think I may be an IHOP girl. but may be back one day
(3)Geoff B.
Exceptional breakfast! I'm a huge fan of their pancakes. Their location has moved a few miles away. They are now located at: 10599 W Atlantic Blvd, Coral Springs, FL 33071. They are located in the north-east corner of Atlantic Blvd & Coral Springs Drive in the Walmart plaza.

I took the grandparents and extended family for a 930am breakfast on a weekday - the location had a reasonable number of customers, but allowed for us to easily get seated at an 8-seater (perfect for our group) - they had at least 4 or 5 of these larger tables pre-set, so this was one of the easiest meals for our family for the week we were together. We had good service, with coffees brought out right away and quickly refilled, with server checking on our reg/decaf preferences right away. they definitely know how to keep the breakfast eaters happy! Food came out quickly, everybody ate up and was happy. Great server, kept checking in regularly. There are plenty of large sized meals, I ordered huevos rancheros, which were a fairly reasonable size and I was happy with them.
(4)Sheila D.
I know that people complain about the service but I go here once a month to meet friends and never had a problem. The food is excellent and very consistent and I have always had good service.
(4)cindy w.
In Coral Springs, decent breakfast places are far and few between. Dennys or Panera Bread? Now, you don't have to make the radical choice. That's where Original Pancake House stepped in. Pancakes, eggs, breakfast potatoes, all were very serviceable and waitress was prompt. They also have a huge extended breakfast menu including crepes. Mmmmm....strawberry syrup on pancakes. Would come back again.
(4)M G.
I did not have a problem with the food, but would not return due to service. The servers got into a screaming match over non-work issues in the kitchen area and generally hung out there, which made the patrons feel a bit crunchy. It was an hour until mid-day closing, and when we asked for coffee, we were told it had run out (this is a breakfast place!) with no hint that more would be made. There did not appear to be any grown up management in the place. Many restaurants have inhabited this storefront, and I don't think this one will last either.
(1)Dan I. C.
I feel bad writing this because of the good reviews. I just didn't like the place. The restaurant looks very clean to the point it almost looks new. The service was ok. They had one server working the entire restaurant which only had six tables filled. Our server was friendly, but she was running around at a good clip. My kids had the regular pancakes and bacon. Both of them said they were good. I thought they looked alittle small. I had a grilled turkey, ham, and extra swiss sandwich with hash-browns and some coffee. The server recommended the hash-browns since they were new on the menu. When the server brought me my food she immediately said I can bring you the fried potatoes if you don't like the hash-browns. I saw what she was thinking, the hash-browns looked horrible. They looked like a big blob of undercooked soggy potatoes and they tasted like it. Back to the kitchen they went and she brought me the home fries. They looked much better and tasted ok. My sandwich was alittle light on the meat for an eight buck meal and it tasted greasy. Not very good. The bright point of the meal was the coffee and having breakfast with my kids. The coffee tasted great and the company was even better:) Can't recommend this one ladies and gents, Stay Hungry!
(2)Jennie P.
Been here twice, and twice I have received shitty service. The first time we went was on a Saturday morning and it was 8 of us. We literally did not get out drinks for 45 minutes and took another hour and half to get our food. Not to mention that they had the entire order wrong. It's what happens when you don't write the order on paper and think you're the grand master of waitressing. Second time was nearly a month ago, and again another shitty waiter and not a very bright one at that (kept on pouring coffee over my 2 year old niece when I told him not to several times). Took about 30 minutes to get drinks, another hour to get food. Food is good except for their biscuits and gravy. Biscuits are small and the gravy, well it was oily and soupy looking, so in other words, I don't suggest it at all. Will I go back? Definite No, for good food and better service, I'll just go to Denny's or IHOP
(2)Elliot P.
If your name is "Original Pancake House" you'd better deliver. This place does. Blueberry pancakes mmmm... crispy Bacon mmmmm... What more could you want? How about pumpkin pancakes that are so good they practically melt in your mouth and strawberry pancakes with fresh (Did I say fresh?) strawberries. Generous portions and attentive (coffee refills) service. Who could ask for more? Nice size portions and attentive service, who could ask for more? How about one in Brooklyn? PLEASE!
(4)Ryan C.
The best breakfast you can have in Coral Springs hands down. They have been around many years now and I have never once been upset with any food or service I have received here. Favorite food here is the pancakes, They are all amazing you can't go wrong. They also have amazingly tasty (and very big) crepes that I love. The orange juice is made fresh and is nearly addicting. Seriously, if you have not been here clear a morning on the weekend and check it out. You will not be disappointed.
(5)Eric B.
A group of us stopped by for breakfast on Saturday morning. It's probably the nicest chain breakfast place I've been to; it feels more upscale (heh) than an IHOP or Denny's. We received good service. My breakfast (the Irish omelette - swiss cheese and corned beef hash) was alright but underseasoned. One thing to note - if you're the type that likes to eat breakfast for dinner (or later) then this isn't the restaurant for you; it closes at 4 PM.
(3)Lourdes B.
great food, excellent service.....wish to acknowledge the manager meybell and the assistant mgr alfredo for their great work....it is the best original pancake house rest. in the area....we felt confortable and enjoyed our breakfast very much....keep up the good work...we will come back !!!!
