Original Pancake House

Original Pancake House Review

The original of what's now a franchise with more than 100 branches, this pancake house is the real deal. Faithful customers have been coming for close to 50 years to wait for a table at this bustling, cabinlike local landmark, and you can expect to find a contented crowd of locals and tourists alike from the time the place opens at 7 am until afternoon. With pancakes starting at $7.25, it's not the cheapest place to get a stack, but with 20 varieties and some of the best waffles and crepes around, it's worth the trip.
