I heard many amazing things about this place and went to check it out last weekend for breakfast. I must say, they have a very extensive menu but the food is mediocre, especially considering how much they charge! The crepes are so overpriced and they aren't even cooked properly; they were doughy and my strawberries were half brown. The potato... More

I expected a wait in line on a Saturday morning with a party of at 9AM but happily we had a table in just five minutes. FYI by the time we left there was a line out the door. However, if you do have a wait they offer snacks. At the table the orders covered the full range of breakfast... More

The Original Pancake House used to be our go-to breakfast place in Kirkland. They had consistently good food at a good value and there were few choices that were nearly as good. Unfortunately, now they have upped their prices considerably and reduced what you get for that price. For example, the Home Fries and Eggs was my main pick. At... More

A good old fashioned diner feel, both in the service and ambience. Maybe a tad more upscale than "diner", but just barely. It has a warm, friendly feel and good breakfasts!

Busy place; but coffee and teaser treats while you wait!! Efficient staff and never ending refills on decent (not your typical pancake house dirty water) coffee. Multiple cake choices and fluffy Omlettes that look like your own egg cake! I'll be back, soon I hope!

Good food, some healthy choices. We went in for breakfast. The omlettes were unbelievable , but there was a note in the menu : during busy hours, be prepared to wait about 45 minutes.... Would go again for a casual good American eat.

Okay, first the toasted coconut pancakes are incredible! Off the char outstanding! The pancakes are terrific and taste like they are made from scratch. It's probably the best breakfast spot in Kirkland if you want a very large, well priced meal. It's certainly an outstanding value. The biggest downside is the wait. They have a huge waiting room for that... More

Breakfasts are a treat here at the Original Pancake House. A large variety of pancakes, waffles and egg dishes are included in their large menu. I tried the Swedish pancakes and they are offered 1,2 or 3 to an order! With the berry sauce, they are a real treat. Swedish pancakes are similar to a crepe and these come very... More

OPH has a great selection of breakfasts, and the best strawberry waffles in season; get there hungry, and ready to wait a while - always a line on weekends.

While the Original Pancake House is a chain, each one has their own flavor. As a couple, and now with the kids, we like the Kirkland OPH for both the atmosphere and the the food. While you wait for a seat, which you will, they have apple pancake slices to keep you from starving. Heavy on carbs and calories, the... More
