A Hearty Delight: Steak & Eggs Breakfast

If you're looking for a breakfast that will truly satisfy your hunger and tantalize your taste buds, then look no further than The Original Pancake House's Steak & Eggs Breakfast. This dish is a harmonious marriage of juicy steak, perfectly cooked eggs, and an array of mouthwatering sides.

As my server placed the plate before me, I was immediately captivated by the appealing presentation. The steak, cooked to perfection, glistened with its juices, and the eggs, cooked to my preference, were adorned with a sprinkling of fresh herbs. Accompanying the main components were golden-brown hash browns, a slice of buttered toast, and a side of vibrant mixed greens.

The first bite was a revelation. The steak was tender and succulent, bursting with flavor. Each mouthful was a delightful combination of savory juices and the subtle smokiness from the grill. The eggs, cooked to a flawless consistency, added a creamy and velvety texture to the dish, complementing the steak beautifully. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, providing the perfect balance of textures. The slice of toast, with its warm and buttery goodness, was the ideal accompaniment to mop up any remaining juices. And the mixed greens, fresh and vibrant, added a refreshing touch to the overall ensemble.

What impressed me most about the Steak & Eggs Breakfast was the quality of the ingredients. The steak was sourced from top-quality cuts, evident in its tenderness and rich flavor. The eggs were undoubtedly fresh, and the hash browns were cooked to perfection, striking the delicate balance between crispiness and tenderness.

Beyond the remarkable taste and quality, The Original Pancake House's attention to detail was also noteworthy. From the friendly and attentive service to the meticulously arranged plate, it was evident that every aspect of the dining experience had been carefully curated to provide utmost satisfaction.

Beautiful views out the front windows, especially if you're seated in the lowered section slightly downstairs and to your right when you first walk in.. If you like churches,or perhaps even if you don't, then you might still like this splendid view portrayed in the wonderfully robust architecture of the church visible from the front windows of this restaurant.... The atmosphere is friendly inside as you take your seat, and the warm and welcoming staff reinforce this feeling of friendliness as they bring your menu then serve you your choice of drink. It is cozy but roomier than most of the bigger known breakfast eateries,such as Denny's and wafflehouse,with a charm that sets them apart from all of their larger chain counterparts, as well as a flavor and substance that resonates like homecooking but at the same time is very professional and clearly held to a high standard by management. As if the place didn't already have enough high points to recommend it, on top of all this like the proverbial whipped cream and cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, The Original Pancake House also has fair pricing set at the same rate on some items, and even lower on other items, than their large named competitor's such as wafflehouse and other fast food style eateries of the same ilk. When the food is priced competitively at the same price or lower than their nearby well known competition,With the spaciousness of the restaurant ,its overall sleek and professional look, paired with the charming atmosphere of the establishment and the warmth of the staff, partnered well with the cozy at home cooking made in the best possible way, yet still somehow managing to stay at a more reasonable price than its well known competitors around the corner ; how could anyone who values such qualities visit this place and not fall for all of its appeal . The Original Pancake House has potential to become anyone's permanent breakfast spot ; a permanent local hangout for friends and family in need of a 2nd home to sit , relax, catch up with each other and enjoy one of the best meals you'll ever find from a menu overflowing with endless options. To anyone who hasn't eaten there before : I promise that if you try them , even once , then you'll wonder why you haven't been eating there...

our server ELIZABETH (whom we had not known what her name was until we got our receipt because she failed to introduce herself) was beyond awful. As a server of 16 years and currently serve at one of the best breakfast spots I was horrified. You always repeat the order back to make sure you're writing it down right and the customer agrees its correct. I was going to order strawberry pancakes but Elizabeth said I couldn't order just one I'd have to get 4. My sister ordered first and told her she wanted the strawberry pancakes with her meal. So once the server told me I'd have to have 4 I said "no thanks I'll eat one of my sisters strawberry pancakes". She brought my sister plain pancakes. We told her they were supposed to be strawberry she slapped her waiter book open on the table, read the order and rolled her eyes. We say "we're fine with just recieving the toppings". She then storms off brings back a ram of strawberries. Upon her return she insisted I was the one who ordered them not my sister. I'm mortified at this point because she's literally interrupting our meal to argue with us because she wouldn't accept her simple mistake and move on. She was visibly upset when other tables walked in. You could tell she hated her job. We were sat right by the kitchen, we then can hear her being rude to the cooks and saying what she wasn't about to do to other staff. Like she lacked the concept of teamwork. Did I mention the way she spoke to us. "So yall paying together or what?" She was verbally unprofessional and aggressive at our table and away from it. When my sister and I go out to eat our bill is always under $50 but we still tip $20. Our server definitely was not about to a 20 out of us. $7 on $35 was the best I could get myself to do today.. It was our first time eating here this afternoon and the food was amazing, the cooks were nice, another employee prebussed our table and the host was sweet. We will be back soon but will NEVER want to sit in her section again. P.s best corned beef I've had in a...
