I Loved It!! 4/19/2010

I took my family over the weekend and we loved it. The line was out the door but only took 15-20mins to get seated. Our food was delicious. Server was nice and friendly. I didn't expect a lot because she was very busy. We will definitely be back. It was nice getting a Groupon coupon!! Pros: Food was tasty Cons: Waiting, but it was Sunday morning more

Worst Dining Experience EVER. 11/29/2009

To begin with half of our order was mistakenly brought out to another table. Our server, who happened to be the only positive about our experience, informed us of the mishap and assured us that our order would be out soon. Over a half hour later the other half of our order was brought out (which had been ready the whole time and was therefore cold) and we were told the rest would be out shortly but still took about 10 more minutes. By the time we finally got everything we were extremely disappointed with the quality and taste of the food. Our server told us she would talk to the manager and see what they would do about it. The only thing they did was comp the cheapest food item on our bill (which was actually the only item we enjoyed - the pumpkin pancakes) and we still had to pay for the other two entrees which we didn't even eat. Not once did the manager come out and talk with us or ask how everything was. I have worked in the restaurant business for many years and frankly if this is how this establishment operates, I can't possibly see how they are still in business. We will never again dine at this restaurant. Don't waste your time or money. Pros: Nothing. Can I rate negative stars? Cons: Customer Service, Food Quality, Wait... more

You'll have to wait, but the food is great! 5/29/2008

Far and away my favorite breakfast joint, period. I used to like First Watch, but recently their food has been, I don't know, bland. The OPH has the most delicous breakfast food around. Their Banana Crepes are out of sight. I've never had a bad meal at the OPH, so I'm a little confused seeing a few have. If you have never been here, do yourself a favor and go. Pros: The food, quick for the # of people there Cons: The wait is a little longer than other places more

No longer our favorite 7/8/2007

We have been regular customers since 1997, and in the last six months, we have noticed a change in the once exceptional customer service. Pros: Great food Cons: Decling customer service more

Are you kidding me? 6/8/2007

I tried this place for the second time and was hugely disappointed yet again. The first time I tried it was more than 10 years ago because I always saw a line there so I figured it must be great. It was a long wait for my friends and I for average food. We were so disappointed we never went back. After reading the reviews on here I thought I'd give it a second try....wish I had not. Again, much ado about nothing. While I was there the table next to me were discussing how disappointed they were too. I understand the food takes a while to prepare, but for the lenght of time it took you'd think it would taste good. Our server never spoke to us except to ask what we wanted, the rest of the time she frowned and treated us as if we were a bother.There are much better places in this city for breakfast, thank goodness. Thumbs down! Pros: Cant think of one Cons: Too many to list more

#1 Breakfast in Cincy 2/12/2004

This place is AWSOME! Though you may have up to an hour wait, it is so worth it. Get there early and be one of the first in line. The food is great!!!! It takes a while to make so, I suggest to read the menu while waiting in line so you know what to order when you get seated. I would highly recomentd OPH to everyone. HUGE portions of food you don't go home hungery. Yummy!!!! Pros: Affordable, Family Atmosphere, Great Food Cons: , Service is average more

Principle, not Policy 5/20/2003

My pregenant wife enjoyed the food so much that, after giving birth early on May 2 (at Bethesda North Hospital), she requested I get her an TOPH omelete. After standing in line for over thirty minutes, the manager informed me their policy was not to do ""to-go-orders"" when busy. I could sit and eat, but not place an order for my wife. I explained my situation, and was appalled he insisted she would not get anything to eat from them. I went down the road to First Watch and was in-and-out in 15 minutes. I understand the concept of a ""policy"", but the basis of any good business (especially in the service industry) should be ""Principles"". Things such as ""the customer is always right"", or ""making an exception in a special situation"". I have a ""Principle"" : 'You don't want my business, you don't get it' Pros: inexpensive Cons: crowded, no reservations more

Must visit! 1/1/2003

This definately deserves to be number one on the list. The menu is exceptional! They have a whole host of unconventional breakfast pancakes like apple smothered and dutch boys, which I highly recommend! This is a must visit! Pros: amazing food, excellent environment Cons: slightly pricey, longish wait more

outstanding food 10/20/2002

With a huge menu, the food is awesome. The Apple Pancake is my favorite, but the omelettes and crepes are outstanding too! Great servers and they really keep things moving when especially busy. Wait on my most recent Saturday visits was about 15-20 minutes. Pros: food, value, service Cons: often have to wait more
