Reviews for Original Pancake House - South Park in Charlotte, NC

My boss suggested this place and I am so happy I went. I love all the variety and specialty dishes. The apple pancake is... phenomenal. I do suggest getting it for the table to share because for one it?s huge and two you are going to want to try othermenu options. My friend did not like omelet but no offense to the restaurant i do not really care for chicken in my omelet -nothing against the restaurant- I just think it wasn?t for her. Her daughter got strawberry pancakes not shown - she loved it.Came with jams and whip cream to put on top along with fresh strawberries. I got sausage and bacon to see which was better. Bothare good but bacon takes the cake. The home fries are good but I suggest asking them to make them crispy. That?s just how i likethem. I got over easy eggs and there were actually over easy. A lot of restaurants can?t seem to always get the style of eggsthat you want to a T. I am very impressed by not only the quality of the food but also the service. Read more

Can I just say we need one of these restaurants in North Charlotte! The menu is so plentiful, you just don't know what to order... because it all looks scrumptious. Over a dozen different kind of pancakes and omelets, besides the usual breakfast fare tochoose from. Warm maple syrup is served so your pancakes aren't forced to shiver from cold syrup being poured all over them. Oh,and the coffee is hot and superb. Our waiter, Vito, never let our cups go dry, either. The staff from the front door to thetable busser was all friendly and had a smile. Definitely worth the 45 minute drive to partake in a very satisfying breakfast. Read more

Worst Grits EVER! Service was great. Eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes were acceptable-to-good. But those grits??!!! A crying... shame how terrible they were. Right here in the SOUTH. I know how they probably cooked them. Placed water and grits TOGETHER atthe same time and brought them to a boil. Then they likely added more grits and water to the pot to replenish the supply as theywere running out. YUCK! Good southern quick grits (not instant grits which should be a crime to sell) can ONLY be made one way:Bring water to a raging boil and THEN add the grits. Use about 4 cups of water to every 1 cup of grits. Cook-down for 30 to 45minutes, reducing heat after about 15 minutes of intense boil. Continue to stir until thick. Use less water for thicker grits.Can add a dash of heavy whipping (NOT half n half or milk) when almost done but don?t over do it like a lot of restaurantsdo. Do THIS, and the grits will NEVER separate and become GRAINY and GRITTY and RUNNY like soup in the way these gritswere. And by the way, they served them with a SPOON! LOL! Who does that!! LOL! Good grits is not like SOUP! A good gritrequires only a fork to eat. If you?re ever served-up a bowl of grits and you need a spoon to eat them because they would runthrough a fork, SEND THEM BACK! LOL!!! Absolutely ruined the entire experience. Southern breakfast is just NOT southernbreakfast without a GOOD grit?.not this grainy soup this place is selling. Read more

I have tried to get here a couple times before, but always so busy. I'm glad I decided to wait this time. If you wanting the... apple pancake, just know it takes a little while to make that...roughly 30 mins. It is worth it! The crepes were delicious aswell. I loved the fresh cream. I really loved that they did not have a heaping pat of butter on the pancake when it was served.It was brought separate. That's wonderful for people like me that doesn't want butter on her pancakes.

Food was just ok. The cleanliness was not good. My family including my newborn were sat near an emergency exit door full of... dust. (Pic attached) when we mentioned it the girl, she came out with a rag as if she was going to wipe it down while we weresitting there????. We also mentioned to a manager and he seemed unconserned. Another thing was a bus boy that kept coming in andout the kitchen biting an apple that he would leave laying on a shelf that also held the utensils. Read more

This place literally never disappoints. Grant it I always get the same thing, the chorizo Spanish omelette, but it?s that good I... can?t help but continue getting it. And their pancakes are out of this world, I don?t know what they put in the batter to makethem so distinct but they are amazing. Puts ihop to shame. My waiter was awesome too, I believe his name was Norman. Either waycustomer service was excellent all the way around and always is every time I go in. Read more

Wow! I wish there was one of these where I lived. These were the best pancakes and waffles that I have ever had hands-down. It... was always busy when I did go. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area.My only complaint is that there are a lot of bugs flying around the food and around the restaurant in general and it wasworrisome. Read more
