Reviews for The Original Pancake House in Edina, MN
Amazing breakfast with big portion sizes! Our server was very kind and patient. Only thing that I did not like was that they... didn't seem happy to seat us bc not all members were there. (I've never had this problem elsewhere. Is this common?) Bc we wereon the wait list for 30 min, 2 members of our party of 8 ran to Target quick. But then in 15 min our table was ready. It wasn'tlike I was the only one there to get a table first for my party. Read more
What a charming place! Loved the stained glass, light fixtures, and wallpaper. Very kitschy, but it works! The buttermilk... pancakes and Swedish pancakes were both cooked perfectly. The hash-browns were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside- avery impressive accomplishment. It was bustling at 8:45 am, and by 10 am, the wait seemed to be growing exponentially. I’drecommend getting there early. We arrived at 8:45 am, and we only had to wait 5 minutes or so. The service was efficient and ourfood came relatively quickly. I’d definitely come back for the buttermilk pancakes. Read more
Great pancake house!! Excellent service by friendly server. Always checking that you are ok and your coffee mug is... filled. It’s well deserved to be called pancake house cos the pancakes are super nice. Fluffy and soft. They are a classic!The combo that I ordered came with a steak, wellness medium, that was cooked to perfection. This is definitely on my list ofmust visit restaurants if I am in MN again. Read more
A lot of food! Consider sharing! Food was really good, server was great, only reason for 4 stars is it was so uncomfortably hot... in the restaurant we had sweat beads rolling down our back! Everyone around us was complaining also. Read more
DELICIOUS!!! Decided to go there for brunch and was sooo glad I didn’t go somewhere else. The portions are big but is great if... you want leftovers for the next day. I’m a meats girls so when my sister got the garden omelette I decided to try hers and itwas soooo good! I got the fresh strawberries crepes and it was also yummy. Don’t forget to order a side of hash brown it’sgot just the right amount of crisp. Parking lot can get really packed since it’s in a strip and they don’t takereservations so if you’re going during prime time make sure you go on their waitlist. Read more
Leaving The Great Wolf Lodge we headed here. Kids love pancakes, waffles, my other half loves a good french toast. Myself I'm a... omelette person.... This place is way larger than it appears from the outside, knew it had to be with how packed the parkinglot was. We waited about 15/20 minutes, but there is seven is so we expect that. What I did not like is how on top of each otheryou are. Barely any room between the tables/chairs... Carrying my three year old I felt like I was going to smack someone in thehead with her feet. Anyway... Service was OK at best. We sat and sat and sat till our server dropped off water and said nothingelse and left again. When he finally came back we got the order in, waited some more which again they were busy... When you waitto sit you wait to eat. Dropped the food off, asked if we needed anything and then never brought what we asked for and didn'tsee him again till the check came. Your here for the food review though... It was GREAT!! Two kids had strawberry pancakesalong with strawberry sauce? Idk, but delicious. One had choc chip cakes, another pumpkin. I however got a mushroom and spinachomelette then added bacon. First the bacon is thick and wonderful, cooked perfectly. Second the omelette is four eggs and"fluffy" I think that means a big plop of egg (see the picture) Overall I would say YES try it! Maybe your service will bebetter than ours. Food was worth the ok service though. Read more
An oldie but goodie. It has the warmth and homey atmosphere with great food to create great memories! The waffles and pancakes... were done right, nothing fancy but light and airy, pair with the cream, jams and fruits, a dream! Read more
Really love this pancake house. Found exotic pancakes that I never tasted before. Everything was so yummy... the waffles, the... pancakes, the egg benedict. Will definitely come back to this place when I visit Minnesota again. Word of advice though... thisplace is very crowded so making reservation before hand is recommended Read more
