Just got back from a trip to the Sugarhouse area. We took the boy to see Tracy Aviary, but before things went flighty we needed the strength to walk through Liberty Park pushing a very heavy 10-month-old. My wife loves the Original Pancake House, so we decided to stop there for a "breakfast at lunchtime" kind of meal. Much to her dismay, she found that her favorite potato pancakes were no longer on the menu, and what's more our waitress had no idea what had happened to them, nor did she know if they would ever be back!
Despite the bump in the road, we pressed on. I'm not usually a fruity pancake guy, but something about the Pecan Pancakes with Sliced Banana seemed to call to me. They were quite good - pecans cooked right into the pancake so they didn't slide all over the plate and plenty of banana slices. They come in the form of 6 cakes about 5-6" in diameter and seemed the perfect serving size. The syrup was pretty ordinary, but adequate.
The wife decided to give in to her sweet tooth and ordered chocolate chip pancakes. They usually come with whipped cream and chocolate sauce as well, but she oredered them plain, just chips and cakes only. The chips were melting on the pancakes by the time they were served and the gooey topping made for pretty good grub. They are what you would imagine chocolate chips on pancakes to be like, which is not a bad thing. A side of long, thick slices of bacon were better than I have had at most places. Perfect texture straddling the line between chewy and crunchy.
The highlight of the day was provided by the boy, who was double-fisting bites of choc. chip pancakes into his piehole as fast as he possibly could. I'll let the photo describe the result!
Overall I find it to be a good, reliable breakfast place, especially if you like pancakes (hence the name of course).
