Each morning, as the sun begins to stir, the breakfast artisans at The Original Pancake House crack fresh eggs into bowls of preservative-free ingredients, sour starter, and house-clarified butter to forge thick buttermilk pancakes. After passing beneath the restaurant’s clock tower, diners peruse the menu’s 15 varieties of pancakes, which include golden circlets cloaked with brandied peaches, whipped cream, and powdered sugar ($9.95). To craft apple pancakes, granny smith slices sauté in clarified butter before jumping into a skillet full of German-style batter for a long bake in the oven ($11.75). Four slices of Hormel black-label bacon escort two large ranch eggs and heap of pancakes across the bacon and eggs plate ($9.25), which chefs cook according to guests’ preferences or ongoing boycott of whisks. Oven-baked mushroom omelets wrought from six eggs brag about hidden heaps of sliced mushrooms doused in a rich sherry sauce ($12.45).

Happy chatter fills the Zagat-rated restaurant, and free WiFi allows for out-of-office work to continue without signatures in syrup. Servers toting glasses of freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juices regale booth fillers with tales accumulated since the restaurant’s inception in 1953.
