If you love pancakes, you must try this spot. On Sundays, there is a serious wait but other days are a little better. Great value for excellent pancakes and French Toast (my wife swears by it). More

You will not get a better breakfast than the one at the Original Pancake House. Everything has it's own unique flavor and flair. I love the Dutch Baby. There also is another location on 10 Mile in Southfield. The line is long to get in, but it's worth it. Try Eggs Michael, too. More

Great place for breakfast. The food and service at the 10-mile location are slightly better and the fresh juice is freshly squeezed there. But both places are good. More

Great spot for an awesome breakfast. Love the big apple pancake and the garden baby with it vegetables. Often split with husband so we can have 1/2 of each. More

This is the real deal. You have to wait a little bit longer for the German Apple pancakes, but they are worth every minute of waiting. Get there early on the weekends because the line can go out the door. More

I had the best french toast ever! It came with whipped butter and powdered sugar on top. Delicious! They did not serve pop though, so that was a disappointment. More
