The ORIGINAL Pancake House

All items made from scratch, high quality and a premium price, but well worth it.

...made with PEANUT OIL.:rolleyes:

Hate to say it, but I'm very skeptical of yeast-based pancakes; it's OK for some kinds of waffles, but for pancakes - the leavener (if any) should definitely be bicarbonate.

Personally, I'd say the best pancakes I've had are still home cooked - fresh picked blueberries (the small, tart New England wild ones from behind my family's summer cabin) in the batter are something I've yet to come close to beating :)

Went to Original Pancake House (Falls Church, VA) for first time based on this thread
 
We got three orders of pancakes (for two people). The 49'ers were excellent--kind of crepe-like, but slightly chewy. Very nice and light, and we would definitely go back for them. We also tried the baked apple pancakes--I didn't particularly care for them; too much like a burnt apple pastry. The wife got the wheatgerm pancakes. Those were interesting--they tasted kind of like challah. One other nice touch is that they have fresh squeezed orange juice too.

Ah yes, I know that place. Never been there, but driven by many times. I might have to check it out.

Yes! I second PJ's in Princeton, New Jersey. I grew up in the area, and love the downtown area. PJ's is the place to take parents when visiting their kids at college.

Glad to see it back up and hopping as usual.

I hope so too...'cuz Pancake Pantry in Nashville is too awesome. Sweet potato pancakes + side of bacon or country ham + hot black coffee = Heaven on earth :cool: Definitely worth standing in line for if you have to!
