The Original Pancake House is relatively new to the Beachwood area, but it has fast found its niche as a breakfast hub. Although part of a chain (no, this isn't the original Original Pancake House), this East Side version of OPH does manage to convey a folksy, localized charm. Let's see, what to order? How about pancakes -- dozens of varieties, including (would you believe?) coconut topped with tropical-flavored syrup. Better known are the two specialty dishes, the apple pancake, which is oven-baked and topped with cinnamon glaze, and the "Dutch Baby," a German-style oven-baked pancake served with powdered sugar and lemon wedges. OPH also whips up an assortment of French toast, including bananas foster made with sourdough bread, crepes and waffles. Or try an omelette -- the Mexican variety is loaded with cheese and fresh vegetables and served with salsa.
