The Original Pancake House

My family has been going to The Original Pancake House for 20 years. This morning we went for breakfast and ordered the eggs, bacon and pancakes. Plus, a fresh-squeezed orange juice. The OJ, as it always is, was delicious. But my wife's pancakes arrived and were not cooked. The outsides were brown but the entire inside was still batter. The hash browns were too greasy to eat and the over-easy eggs were translucent, runny, and not cooked either. We asked the waitress to redo the order. My meal was fine but it was awkward because my food was there but we had to wait another 10-15 minutes for my wife's new food to arrive. I think that they should have apologized and taken that part of the order off the bill. Anyway, when we asked for the bill to pay, the waitress asked my wife to walk over to the cash register to pay so that she didn't have to go and get a handheld device to run the credit card. It was just not a good gesture after already having had our breakfast ruined. And I would have to say that the worst part of the entire experience was the bill itself. For 2 breakfasts, an O.J., a side of blueberries for the pancakes, and 2 coffees, the bill was $44 without the tip. Just adding blueberries to the pancakes cost $3 and they've now taken to charging additionally for the hash browns. Something like $1.50. They raised their prices and are nickel and diming diners for things that used to be included in the breakfasts. Instead of a good value and go-to breakfast spot, The Original Pancake House is now an expensive and inconsistent dining establishment. We are going to look around for alternative restaurants for future breakfasts.
