The Original Pancake House


 Original Pancake House in Falls CHurch

Karthik and I have been wanting to go here for ages. Our last attempt to make it out here ended in failure because the original location of the original pancake house was closed. We finally found a relatively free Saturday and made the trek out to falls church. We ordered a spinach crepe and original buttermilk pancakes. I was tempted to get pumpkin but since it was my first time here we decided to go with the original since that is supposed to be the best. Breakfast places are obviously great for vegetarians who eat eggs. But this places also has many sweet and savory crepes that don’t have eggs, even the crepe batter is eggless. (this piece of info might be worth double checking with your server).

Fresh spinach crepe – spinach and cheese in a crepe served with potato pancakes. The crepe was ok. It had a weird sweet taste though. The potato pancakes were pretty awful. Mushy, undercooked, no flavor and served with watery sour cream.

Buttermilk Pancakes – also a big disappointment. Mushy, doughy, dense, thick and served with bad tasting syrup.

The Verdict: we will not be coming here again. I am sure there are much better breakfast places in town. Our total bill including one cup of coffee and a side of two scrambled eggs (yes we like big breakfasts) came to 23.31.
