The Original Pancake House

Arthur Chin

awesome! went here twice while in town for the marathon. everything was good and quick. very diner feel. You get to choose if you want 3 pancakes or toast, and you can add fillings / topping to the pancakes instead of having just plain. our table got the skillet / corned beef hash / crepes / eggs + sausage and everything was good.

If you're used to have breakfast (substantial breakfast, not just coffee and some bread/bagel) before 11 a.m. and you're in or near the magnificent mile in Chicago then this place is for you, reasonable prices, exceptional service and a great variety of dishes to choose from. The amount in every dish is generous and with a decent flavor.

We've eaten here two days of our vacation (so far). The western skillet, the veggie skillet, the Santa Fe omelette, and the build-your-own skillet are all great choices. The buttermilk pancakes are so good. The service is friendly and FAST. Dress accordingly because it is very warm inside because it's a small place that's usually crammed with people, but that's always a good sign for a food place. There was a line one morning but we were seated almost immediately because we were a party of two. You do share tables with other people but I never felt like we were on top of each other.
