Absolutely delicious, highly recommended.

Food is flavorful and some of the best pancakes and breakfast in the area.
Known for their 49er flapjacks which are incredible.
Dutch baby and sourdough pancakes are a favorite of mine.
3pancake shortstack available or regular 6 stack - photos featured are shortstacks.

Service is friendly and quick. Atmosphere is adorable and quaint.
Small free parking lot. This place does gets busy, there is usually a wait however they do utilize a waitlist on yelp.

Buon Appetito, Piatto Pulito 😋

First time going, and the staff was super friendly and attentive! The food was delicious and well worth the price! The bacon is a must!

Definitely not your normal pancake restaurant. From the 49er, which is thin and huge, to the Apple pancake which is super thick and huge, lol..... Great place!

A visit to The Original Pancake House in Whittier during the Christmas season adds a sprinkle of festive cheer to an already fantastic breakfast experience. The seasonal decorations are a great touch, creating a cozy, merry atmosphere that complements the meal perfectly. The pancakes, and the flapjacks in particular, are a culinary delight – light, fluffy, and cooked to perfection. The servers are as friendly as they come, ensuring every visit is met with smiles as warm as the pancakes served. A must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier pancake house that knows how to spread the holiday spirit!

This place is a definite for the Apple 🍎 pancake! It is a sharable portion n a perfect "welcome to our neighborhood" neighborly gift. All the pancake servings are sharable portions. As a fam of 4, it was enough to share n try the apple pancake, Swedish pancake in addition to the Nutella Crepe and the French Crepe and a side of sausage (sausage was very good). Honestly, my kids could have shared one crepe because the crepe is basically 3 long rolls of nutella filled crepes. Though I've had smaller and better tasting nutella crepes, too. I can definitely say the batter of the crepe itself was very tasty. However, the french crepe I found a bit too eggy tasting, but maybe that is the french touch to it, but I could pass on it. The stack of pancakes was not appealing and tasted ordinary to me. I didn't have a chance to try their eggs and bacon breakfast, but I definitely would go back to try that next. Their bacon looked yummie. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service and the Apple Pancake. 🍎 That was the highlight of our visit to the original Pancake House. Overall, the service is great, and ambiance is a family type of feel setting.

Another restaurant that I don’t quite understand what the hype is all about. While the restaurant had a nice Atmosphere, the food was not very good. Maybe it was the dish I ordered. I had the chicken fried steak. It was very thin and dry. It came with a side of pancakes that were beautiful and fluffy, but were very salty. Yes, “salty”. I tried the hashbrowns and they were extremely buttery to the point that they tasted cheesy. I was in a party of about 10. When the waitress and her assistant brought our dishes, they did not know whose dish belonged to who. I thought that was very poor service on behalf of the waitress who took our order. I’d give this place another try because maybe I just didn’t order the right dish.

It was my first visit and I was completely satisfied. Had an AMAZING waitress, although they were very busy she was very attentive and met all our needs in a timely fashion. The baked veggie omelet was very very good, would definitely have it again!
