The Original Pancake House

Although they were full and very busy we received excellent services. My Swedish pancakes with lingonberrries were delishes. Large and with 3 I was able to share. Lee’s eggs and sausages also very nicely prepared. I asked for a order of whole wheat toast first and our food came out so fast we got it at the same time. All great. Coffee with flavored creamer very nice. Can’t wait to go again.

Just went there and I ordered 3 strawberry crepes and when I got my plate it only came with two. When I asked the waitress about it she said with frozen strawberries you get 3 and with fresh you only get two. No where on the menu does it say that. Then we wanted to substitute some side buttermilk pancakes for biscuits and gravy. when we got the bill she forgot to mention that it’s going to cost an extra 3.50 to do that. The lack of communication and the sneaky things they do for already high prices is ridiculous.

EGGcellent!
My husband and I stopped in late on a Sunday – Father’s day!
The staff was friendly and seated us even though it was close to closing time. They even want through the trouble of making fresh iced tea because it was 112 degrees outside!
The omlettes here are the fluffiest I’ve ever seen! It’s not a greasy mess like The Broken Yoke.
The pancakes were smaller than I expected, but that omlette was so HUGE it didn’t matter.
I’ve been to The Original Pancake House in Chicago and this location, service and food blows it way. That’s saying a lot coming from a Chicago foodie.

So far not good… very disappointed. Got here about 9:30 and got my orange juice at about 9:53. Lol my daughter didn’t like it so we asked for Apple juice and got that about 10:15. Never waited so long for a drink.
Now food. Just ordered french toast. Nothing crazy and omg! The WORST!!! Just tasted like sourdough bread. Couldn’t belive it. So after waiting almost an hour for bread and juice. They remade my order stating it would just be a few minutes… hmmmm then why did I just wait an hour. So but not to be surprised round 2 was just as bad. Given I didn’t pay for it, but no manger came over, nothing. So now I’ve wasted over an hour, still hungry and I’m pregnet. …
It’s a tues morning, not busy so what’s the problem???

Just had the WORST experience EVER! Checked the menu on their own website prior to arriving at the restaurant and my husband and I decided on our selections. The restaurant is rundown and not very clean! The food was good, but it didn’t make up for the sticker shock when our bill arrived! Every item was 30−40% more than stated on the website. For example, coffee was $ 2.85 instead of $ 2.00, 1 egg was $ 2.85 instead of $ 1.65. Buttermilk pancakes and the 49ers were also atleast three dollars more per item! There was not a manager onsite to speak to and the kitchen manager advised us to pay now and call later! Rude and ripoff describe our experience! Do not ever go there. We aren’t!!!

I was excited to come here since every breakfast spot in the Temecula/​Murrieta area has disappointed me. You can add this one to the list. Some say you can tell how good a place is by how packed; however, this is simply not true.
The menu filled with breakfast favorites is set up to make you indecisive. Still if you’re here for the first time, getting the pancakes is a good start. I say that begrudgingly because this place does not live up to the hype.
Not only is it overpriced, the food is only a half notch up for what you’d get at Denny’s. Don’t let them fool you with the freshly squeezed orange juice, probably the only good thing because that thing you swear is 100% maple syrup tastes a lot like aunt Jemima: sweet and synthetic. Let’s not forget that disgusting frozen honey ham.
And the pancakes, undercooked and fell apart on my plate. The hint of sourdough was nice, but overall failed to impress my palette. I didn’t attempt to bring them home because I’m not wasting good maple syrup on that.
On the way out I was asked, «How was your breakfast?» Big mistake.

What a waste of money. Half the food was inedible. The service was terrible as well except for the beverage girl. She was brilliant.
Very over priced for food that is not good.

Love, love, love this place! The service is great. There is constantly someone to fill your coffee. The food is ready quickly and it’s the best breakfast in town. It is somewhat pricy but if you’re going to go out you might as well have a great meal. They’re bacon is amazing.

Great pancakes, waffles, Dutch and German pancakes, blueberry compote is deeeelish, home fries are good, and their bacon is cooked perfect everytime. Coffee is strong and they refill it as you drink it. My husband and son love their country gravy (it isn’t perfect like mine but my son dipped just about everything in it) we’ve had great experiences when we have dined there. Ooh and their whipped cream is perfect as well daughter had it over her strawberry waffle. They serve their syrup warm just like I do at home. Great meal. kinda pricey. (husband doesn’t mind … but I do) but very well worth the price. The price adds up because the specialty items like the waffles or Dutch or German babies don’t come with anything and my kids neeeeeeed a complete meal… ie. Bacon, eggs, potatoes.

Horrible! A Hair in the pancake… Asked for the manager (MICHELLE DEVLYNE) and the server told us she was busy and asked if they could bring us more pancakes… after politely declining and waiting for the manager, she would not come out of the back to talk to us. Poor management and customer service!

We love OPH! The food is excellent, portions are huge, and the staff is great! Can’t go wrong with anything on thier menu.

I am NOT exaggerating when i say these banana, nut pancakes were absolutely delicious! They slathered them in butter & i was in heaven after the first bite. I ordered the eggs benedict combo which came with smaller sized pancakes as my side. It was a perfect portion because i was craving a sweet & salty meal. But most certainly i will be back to order just a big a** stack of them all by themselves with a large ice cold glass of milk! Yummy!
The service was great. They constantly topped off our coffee and we came in at a perfect time… about 45 minutes before closing. No crazy long wait and the food came out in a flash.
My bff, loved her meal. This is definitely one of our favorite breakfast spots. They have such a huge selection of pancakes /​french toast it’s still has me wanting g to go back for the strawberry /​banana french toast. Definitely next time.
The restaurant has plenty of parking surrounding the entrance and it’s located in a great shopping center. After your meal you’re able to run those errands that you’ve been dreading. …

We came here for brunch with the kids, foregoing IHOP to try something new. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was nice. Beyond that the place was simply average with prices that states they felt they were above average. Orange juice was $ 4.35 a glass. My daughter ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs, bacon and toast for $ 14.25. The bacon was thick and the rest was simply average café food. My son got chocolate chip pancakes for $ 10.25. The pancakes tasted like flour covered with chocolate chips and powdered sugar. He was happy with it, however. I got crab cake Benedict with potato pancakes. The potato pancakes were slightly cold and the crab cake was more filling than crab. 3 meals with 2 coffees (no juice) ran $ 47.68. Next time we’re craving pancakes for brunch, we will go to IHOP.

My husband loves this place! Pumpkin pancakes and thier thick cuts of bacon make early mornings tolerable because I refuse to go later than 7:30am; the wait times are insane on the weekends!
Sans 1 star for the wait time, the price, not having hash browns, and serving not-​so-​great omelettes– they were just «eh”-stick to the pancakes!

This is by far one of the better breakfast locations you will ever find in this area.
It seems that people have forgotten what real freshly squeezed juices, fortunately this location hasn’t. The have freshly squeezed juices and of course every single pancake you could possibly imagine. I ordered eggs over easy and they were perfectly cooked.
If it’s morning, you’re hungry and willing to deal with a line. Head over to pancake house, you will not be disappointed.

I love this breakfast place and Temecula. It is my favorite place to get omelettes. I usually don’t get on that when I go out, mostly because everyone messes them up or puts fillers in them. Not this place!
My favorite omelette is the turkey bacon avocado omelette. It is so amazing! It’s jam packed with all the ingredients that you want in it. I even ask for broccoli, and my boyfriend kind a looks at me like I’m funny, but who cares, it’s amazing! They have a special process of how they put the omelette together so they can get all your ingredients in there without having any fillers and it still being fluffy. The omelette is so huge that it fills an entire dinner plate! It could probably feed 2 to 3 people but I usually eat half of it and take the rest home.
Their orange juice is fresh squeezed. I really have trouble not drinking the whole glass of orange juice before my meal comes out. Ha ha!
They also have other options like pigs in a blanket, gluten-​free pancakes, plenty of other pancakes, and so much more!

The food is amazing and so is the service! Portions are big and reasonably priced! I had the crepes and they were delicious! I will be back soon for something new to try.

The pancakes are so good and I’m very picky about my pancakes my favorite pancakes are at Fairmont hotel in Newport Beach and have tried other places locally for a good pancake like Fairmont’s and no luck until I went here the pancakes are almost the same so happy and the omelettes are good and huge you can share it and their potatoes very good the best breakfast place in Temecula totally! The service is very very good they all work together and the entire staff is very attentive.

Love love LOVE love the coffee! I don’t know what they do to their coffee but it is the best we have ever had! Mix it with the fresh whipped cream and it’s a bit of heaven. We have begun to purchase the ground coffee for home use too but I always find an excuse to come here at least a few times a month. Often we come in and buy coffee to go when we are running morning errands.
The food is also amazing (large portions) and staff is always a delight! The bacon is next level (my husbands favorite) and the 49er flap jacks are beyond delicious! The old fashioned oats with while whipping cream, brown sugar and fruit (bananas or blueberries) — this is absolutely delicious and my go to! I always recommend this place when people ask for local breakfast spots, thumbs up!

Dear Avocado, Turkey Breast & Bacon Omelette: you are amazing!!! Super fluffy and flavorful. Recommend it 100% if you love avocado like me.
Added 2 toppings to my buttermilk pancakes: bananas & pecans… Amazing! The actual pancakes were good, but not as fluffy as IHOP’s. But everything tastes great, so I still loved this place.
Coffee was good, and our server was very nice :)
