Reviews for The Original Pancake House in Atlanta, GA

This place has potential, but seems to squander it every chance it gets. The food is good, but the service and price point just... make it not worth it. Its not unusual for it to take 5-10 minutes to be seen by a server, and that's just to get coffee anddrinks going. Prices are also approaching astronomical for a breakfast joint. 4 link sausages is $7! Not a meal, just thesausages. And on top of that if you do carry out they automatically add 18% to everything. For those price points I'm justexpecting a little more than what they are providing. Read more

I?d heard great things about the original pancake house but this one wasn?t it. The servers were dressed up for Halloween which... was cute but that didn?t make up for all the problem we experienced.The problems in question included: our table still beingcovered with food scraps when we got seated, the server forgetting multiple things we ordered, and the kitchen taking almost 2hours to get us all our food. I would like to believe these problems were a result of the place just being understaffed but I?mnot going to spend my money here again on an overpriced menu to find out. Read more

We had to wait 30 minutes to have breakfast here. There?s a waiting list to make sure you?re seated as soon as possible. I... didn?t like the rush to make an order and after you?re almost finished because they didn?t even wait for us to ask for thecheck, they brought it when we were about to finish so by the time we had our breakfast we couldn?t get more coffee because wealready paid so we didn?t have more service to our table. Other than that the pancakes were good. My friend was disappointed ofthe banana pancakes because they weren?t in the inside. I really liked the coffee here. The only but: there were ants in ourtable and on the wall. Read more

Service is extremely slow at this location. There were only about three tables eating at the time, but the server would... disappear for long stretches of time. One entree came to the table 30 minutes before the next, orders were forgotten, preparedincorrectly, etc. For example, the burger was brought out with nothing at all that was listed on the menu. Do yourself a favorand skip out on this location. We?ve been to The Original Pancake House locations elsewhere and had a decent experience though. Read more

This place used to be great, but it was soooo disappointing on my most recent visit. I used to really love this place and was... looking forward to the treat. Their scrambled eggs are flavorless and taste like vegetable oil. Don?t get the crepes or Swedishpancakes? they were made too thin, crispy and crumbly and were impossible to eat. I won?t be back. I didn?t touch much and wentto the nearby McDonald?s afterwards. Read more

You can?t go wrong here! Fun, diner atmosphere! Haven?t been to one of those in years and it was an experience. I had the... corn beef hash, eggs over easy and cheese grits. Meal was on point! My friend ordered the pigs in and blanket (I?m not apancake fan) and she enjoyed them. Definitely a place I?ll visit again!! Read more

The inside appearance gives old diner vibes but The food and service is good. Prices are somewhat high in comparison to typical... breakfast spots but if you?re like me eggs, bacon and grits must be perfect and they were. Read more

I typically dine-in here and enjoy it - usually borderline 4 star. Today I picked up for the first time and am disappointed for... several reasons. First and foremost, I noticed that they charge an 18% service fee on pickup orders? why? My meal was an extra$6 because of this. Secondly, I ordered two scrambled eggs on the side and it?s pathetic - uploaded an image to see, it?s barelyan egg. Finally, my wife had requested whipped cream and syrup, neither were included - how is syrup not included when you orderpancakes and waffles? Will not pickup from here again, but will continue to dine-in. Read more
