Original Pancake House is by far the best breakfast spot in Bend, OR. We have an OPH in Seattle and it pales in comparison. I spoke with the owners and told them that the difference between the two franchise stores is night and day.\r

OPH in Bend makes EVERYTHING from scratch. The pancakes and omelets are the best you'll ever taste. There's nothing in a package and everything is prepared to order. Some selections take long than others and you can bet that at 10am on a Sat. or Sun., you're gonna wait for a seat.\r

My wife and I travel to Bend 2x per year, and we always visit OPH as many times as possible. In response to the previous review re: Sodas pop. You have to remember that this is a traditional breakfast house... and if it comes in a bag or a box to be served, you won't find it here.\r
\r
The owners (their names escape me) work side-by-side with their employees. We've seen little turn over in their employees from year to year.\r
\r
Whether you're filling up for a day on the slopes or the trails, you can bet that you'll play right through lunch as the portion sizes are large. I usually save half my omelets for lunch if I get hungry... the pancakes will keep you coming back. They're beyond delicious.\r
Pros: The best breakfast in town
Cons: extra large portions
