It doesn’t matter where you’re from. Pancakes are certainly for everyone!
Whether you want a nice sit-down Sunday brunch or you’re looking to take a heaping plate of fluffy buttermilks to go, The Original Pancake House is the place to eat with your family.
The Champaign-Urbana location of this national treasure opened in 1976 and has only seen two local owners since its beginning. Current owner Eric Faulkner appreciates his customers and staff so much that they all “feel as if OPH is our second family.”
Just a little way west of campus, The Original Pancake House boasts a homey atmosphere with a diverse array of breakfast delicacies. The restaurant is almost always bustling with customers eager for the pancakes they dreamt about the previous night.
The Original Pancake House is particularly busy on Moms and Dads Weekends and will likely only grow busier with this year’s verdict for Best Family Restaurant.
As soon as you know a family member is coming to town, be sure to visit! And if it’s busy, make sure to join the waitlist to get those pancakes.
