What people say, in short
The Original Pancake House on Parmer draws repeated praise for pancakes, Dutch babies, corned beef hash and thick bacon. One regular visits weekly, another enjoys family visits, and a separate customer praises generous portions. The recurring drawback is the wait: diners report crowds and slow food, though one recommends joining the online waitlist first. One customer finds the room sterile and dislikes receiving each item on a separate plate.
