OMG...These PANCAKES are the BEST!

I have to drive 10 miles plus withstand the 15-20 min. wait just to get these wonderful pancakes.

Plus if you like bacon...NOBODY does it better. It's thick and crispy every time.

The long lines are a testament to the great food. I just wish they would open up a shop in the Gaithersburg/Germantown area.

Quality is Worth the wait...

Yes, there's a wait. Yes, it can be noisy. Yes, some servers are better than others. BUT-- Something for everyone on the menu. And it's not hard to be pleased. Fresh OJ, REAL maple syrup, buckwheat, pecans, choc. chips...real bananas, strawberries, apples. Not syrupy fruit sludge. Wonderful concoctions with quality ingredients. The bacon is the best -- thick and smokey. The coffee is good, too. You get what you pay for and/or wait for and NO pancake house or any place that even serves pancakes can compare with OHOP. If you don't want to wait, then go get a bagel somewhere. Some people are so cranky in the morning they SHOULDN'T go out for breakfast! Bethesda and Arlington locations, too.

Fugedaboutit.

You can't make a reservation to be seated outside so you'll be seated in the dank inside while "friends" are seated outside. That plus the abysmyl and chaotic menu and service is a reason to fugedaboutit, dear reader. Too bad. Eat at the museum restaurant or better yet, bring a picnic.

excellent food, long waits

I've been many times, and always enjoy the food. Service is so-so, and the lines are often long on weekends. Their crepes are the best around, and portion sizes for all meals are good.

We'll never go back

We cannot believe this place is #1!! It is loud, disorganized and greasy. The service was just terrible. I've had better potato pancakes from the freezer section of the grocery store. Our coffees were not refilled unless we flagged a waitperson down. It was: Here's your food - here's your check - now eat and get out. We'll never go back.

Just Okay

Overpriced for what you get but not bad food. The better alternative is Linda's Cafe on 29 in Arlington, it didn't even make the list but I'll put their Three Deuces breakfast meal against any other in the area in terms of price and quality of food. The servers are highly personable as well.

Number 1? No WAY

I love pancakes, and the ones I got here were terrible. If you want good breakfast, go to the Siver Diner. They know how to make pancakes!

Poor service and terrible food

McDonalds is a whole lot better, and I mean food and service. The Eggs were cold, my potato pancakes were more oil then potato, rude manager when I commented about this. Dont waste your time.

Great food- Gret Portions... GREAT VALUE

Forget IHOP - OPH is THE place for a really good breakfast. HUGE portions, really good food and a LARGE menu.
If you get a chance - pick 1 of the 3 DC area locations.
ENJOY!

best pancake house you'll find
