Just about every weekend you'll find me at one (or both) of the Original Pancake locations in Edina and Eden Prairie. I consider the Edina location the "original" OPH, and it is beautifully decorated with stained glass that I'm told came from an old mansion. It has recently gone through a few renovations that have slightly changed the decor to match the new Eden Prairie location, but it still retains the cozy, friendly atmosphere, mainly due to the wonderful wait staff. They are great at recalling the little details about how I like my breakfasts, and know my friends and I by name. Yes, the wait can be long, and yes, they do have a policy that they only seat full parties, but it just means you need to plan ahead for a wonderful breakfast! Give them a call before you leave the house and they'll put you on a list so that when your party arrives your wait will be shorter. It's worth it to wait for the amazing food - try the Dutch Garden, which was recently added to the menu after much persistence by Raymond Yates, a local musician and OPH fanatic. Or try anything on the menu that fits your fancy; you'll leave stuffed and I guarantee you won't be able to stay away for long! Pros: Decor, friendly wait staff, fireplace, awesome food Cons: Temperature in the restaurant is too cool - bring a sweater

The wait is to long 40 minutes?? The hosts are terrible. The food might be good but the service is so bad. Don't waste your time waiting. I would go across the street and eat somewhere else. Their service has gone down hill and I can't believe people are even willing to wait 40 minutes for Breakfast? Are you kidding me. I recall when the wait was more like 20 minutes. They truly need to do something about this and get a better staff!!

Just want to let everybody know about the RUDEST SERVICE I have ever seen! The table wait was 40+ minutes. We had 7 people in our party-- a 39 week pregnant lady, a 3 year old child and an 81 year old Grandmother. This restaurant has a policy NOT TO SIT any party unless all members are present and boy they will fight to stick to it! When they were ready to seat us my brother was parking the car and in 2 minutes would have joined us. The manager, Heather Zimmerman, would not wait and gave our table away. When we confronted Heather, she told us we could LEAVE or wait for the table. This was as much a matter of principle for me as it was for the restaurant's management, so all 7 of us left and we won't be coming back. We went to Crave, the restaurant across the street, and were promptly seated and treated as guest with a smile all the way. When I go out, I go out to relax. The sitting policy may be good for their wallets, but is terrible customer service and sticking so closely to the policy is just bad for business. While for now their business is good, what comes up must come down and boy will it come hard. Pros: location Cons: crowded,rude,wait etc.

Order a short stack or the huge apple baked pancake. I had the biggest bowl of fresh fruit and berries I'd ever seen. My companion ordered blueberry pancakes that were gobbled up before the server brought me a second cup of coffee. Well worth the wait and the dated decor.

I dont really know what all of you mean. Everytime we go into OPH yes, the lines are long, but dont you kind of expect that from a great restaurant? My family and I have always been greated warmly and we feel welcome, like we are in someones home. I watch the staff run around fast, but they are efficient and great at what they do. They visit with the older people and laugh alot with the guests...I think that is great ! The food is exceptional, Better than anything around. Its not some corporate square...Its a small town restaurant in the city. Pros: Huge portions, Beautiful place, Nice staff Cons: It is warm in the summer

Maybe the breakfast experience is better, but lunch was awful! The place was understaffed and our server was absolutely frazzled. Service was slow and we waited over twenty minutes for five 'dollar pancakes' for my daughter. To top off the bad service, their Cobb Salad made me sick. Definitely not going back.

I have to agree with the others here. The hostesses are horrible. I can usually deal with it up but it send my husband off the deep end. They are wretched and you have to deal with them every single time you go there. Once you get past the ugly gatekeepers the food ROCKS! The pancakes are so good, the butter is amazing, the syrup is delicious. But the best part of the menu is the bowl of raspberries. I have not had any server issues except to say they are over worked. Pros: The food, the rasberries. Cons: The hostesses, they are bad people. The wait.

OHP has excellent food, as I hinted at in my subject line - but let me tell you - there has probably only been a handful, if that, of time they have given me the correct order. There is always something missing - from simply an order of toast, to the worst mistake you could EVER make: Missing Bacon. Its a sham. But I still love the food. My advice to you: Double-Check your orders to ensure consistency and quality service. Thanks
