The Original Pancake House (Falls Church)

Not the one that was on 7, but the new one on 29.  What an improvement.

We went sometime in 2009/10 to the one on 7. Then, the food was good, but the place was tightly packed, poorly lit, with terrible parking. Now the place is bright, well-spaced and plenty of parking.

We've been twice in the past few months and the food is great and the service is pretty good, too.

L - 1st visit - Praline (seasonal) pancakes; 2nd - Pumpkin pancakes
M - 1st - Cinnamon apple pancakes; 2nd - Buckwheat-GA pecan pancakes

Thoroughly enjoyed both visits. We do take our own maple syrup, because no one offers it... (boo!)

Peeking over at other tables, their omelets are obscene. They look to be 8" round and 2 1/2" thick. Packed with whatever its filling is. Eating one on your own may make for happy taste buds but an unhappy heart.

Cost
$$

Very clean.

Great.

Good value and it's probably lucky that it's not close or we'd be here very often.
