The Original Pancake House was founded in Portland, Oregon by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke. Today, we’re bringing their vision of serving authentic pancakes, waffles, eggs and other traditional breakfast recipes to Normal, Illinois. We use only the best ingredients, such as 93 score butter, pure 36% whipping cream, fresh grade AA eggs, hard wheat unbleached flour, and our own sourdough starter.
We even have gluten-free and vegetarian breakfast options!

- PBPamela Baxter4 days ago5.0Greatest place for breakfast! When I'm in Peoria, this is my go-to for breakfast. The food is delicious, and portions are generous. Great coffee, and the omelette is definitely tops! The service is fantastic. I haven't had a bad meal yet.
- EWEmily Whitaker4 days ago5.0I can’t say enough great things about the food at this restaurant! The chef/kitchen is are incredible! My fiancés mom begs to go here everytime she visits from California! We love the menu and obviously the pancakes :) the avocado toast is also super fresh and yummy! The food always seems to come out super quick and efficiently as well. Couldn’t recommend this place for breakfast/brunch/lunch enough! The parking lot always looks super full but they get you in and out fairly quickly and I’ve never had a long wait time! 10/10 recommend!
- JVJared VinsonNov 15, 20255.0Ryan was fantastic Great spirit Explained things and made the breakfast experience I had today amazing!!! Food was great but her service was even great. 👌
- CPCheryl PowellNov 13, 20254.0I had Eggs Benedict and fruit. The food was ok although the presentation is minimal for the price charged. (I had the eggs on my plate and nothing else with fruit cup on the side). The decor is rather plain but the server was great; friendly and efficient.
- LWLarry WolfNov 5, 20251.0The atmosphere was alright, not much about it. But the one thing that ruined the whole experience was being rushed out of the building. If it was busy I would somewhat understand, but there wasn't a lot of people there. Not only did the waitress give us our bill not even 10 minutes of getting our food, but PROCEEDS to stop by every 5 minutes to mention payment of either the QR code or to her directly, but with me about to put food into my mouth ask me if I wanted a box. I normally don't do reviews of restaurants but this is one of those situations where I feel the need to make this review. Never coming back
