Reviews for The Original Pancake House in Gig Harbor, WA
Not impressed. I ordered the Irish Omelette. Corned beef and cheese. The picture says it all. Was not an omelette at all.... Basically an egg roll-up sparsely sprinkled with \"beef\" that had the consitancy of breakfast sausage. Overpriced for thequality. Portion sizes were okay and the staff was nice enough. Don\'t recommend and will not be back. Read more
The food was great and some servers were polite.\nAlso I was told that they \"ask that young people sit at the breakfast bar... because old people dont want to use the QR code.\"\nIt was very rude and I do not know why they felt comfortable saying such athing. I just wanted to sit and have my order taken.\nEdit: the plates are back to normal, but service is still absolutelymediocre. Read more

We went for lunch & decided to try the breakfast bar. The new place looks great, with a 50\'s diner feel to it.\n\nThere was one... other person having a meal. You order your food via your phone, which was a bit awkward. We didn\'t see any employees for closeto 10 minutes.\n\nWhen our food came the two employees never smiled & barely had any contact with us, & they almost left withoutus having any silverware. I have no idea what you\'re supposed to do if you need something, because there was no one in sight tohelp.\n\nThe food was delicious.\n\nWhat we didn\'t like is that you\'re asked to give a tip before you even see an employee orget your food!\n\nOur breakfast for lunch for 2 people was close over $40, and that\'s without drinks.\n\nIf we go back, itwon\'t be to the breakfast bar side of the restaurant.

The food was okay I ordered the light fair biscuits and gravy , I got one biscuit and a pitiful amount of potatoes , there was... hardly any gravy on the biscuit , I can get more at IHOP on their light fair , my fiancé got country Benedict and there washardly any food or gravy on his plate as well, serving size doesn?t really match the price. We also waited 50 mins for our foodand had 0 refills on any of our drinks. We did get seated quickly and got drinks fast enough but waited forever for the littleamount of food. Picture I posted is one small bite of my biscuit. Prices not worth the quantity of food even with the risingcost of supply . Read more
So being Fathers day you have some basic expectations. There will be a wait time, service will be somewhat slow, and orders may... get a bit messed up. The Gig Harbor restaurant friggin NAILED it. Yes the wait time was 45 minutes but it was organized and wecould hang out inside or chill in our car. That was a comfy option. The food took a little extra time but well worth the wait.Everything was perfect and amazing, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was beyond excellent. I have lived, worked,and eaten in various countries around the world and by far food preparation and flavor at the Gig Harbor location exceededexpectations. Thank you for a wonderful Father\'s Day and experience. Read more

20$ Per person for breakfast?\n\nTotally worth it!\n\nThe place is pretty big with booths and dividers to get rid of the empty... warehouse feel. The place was well-furnished (but not fancy), clean and just the right lighting. We were only the second tableseated but it was getting pretty busy as we left.\n\nI scoffed when I saw my price of their one split biscuit with gravy platewas $16+ and a cup of brewed coffee was $3+! But my platter had fresh cut potatoes, the scrambled eggs were done right and theywere liberal with the gravy. It also came with a short stack. My kid got the waffle and a ham steak with glass of OJ. Her mealwas almost as expensive as mine.\n\nWell my pancakes were so delicious that I had to ask. Yup, they used a sourdough starter andmade the pancakes from scratch. The biscuit was better than authentic?I think they toasted it before the gravy went on. Again,delicious. The coffee was brewed but served with fresh cream.\n\nThe ham steak was big and juicy. The waffle was made from thesame delicious batter. The 12 oz glass of orange juice was fresh squeezed this morning and served chilled without ice.\n\nOurserver was nice and attentive. They weren?t walking around with a pot of coffee to top you off but we were in a hurry so Ididn?t ask for a refill.\n\nNext time I?m in Gig Harbor I won?t consider an alternative. They have a great menu?so I might tryone of their Benedict platters next.\n\nThanks again for the great meal! Read more
