text: My youngest sons future FatherInLaw had Breakfast at this Original Pancake House location yesterday the very first time I have been to an OPH even when I was living here I was just shaking with anticipation of a great BreakfastnnOn the menunnIrish Corned Beef Hash A Homemade Hash with a blend of Kosher Corned Beef Potatoes Onions and Cream This entree under the category Specialties of the House should have been rated under twoStars but because of it is heftiness the concoction provides a Value deserving of something a litte higher All the Specialties are OvenBaked I asked the waitress what is the difference between an OvenBaked entree versus something you just grill in a Frying Pan nnShe replied that this was actually her fist week and that she would get back to me nnOtherwise this is a rather pedestrian and a very bland Specialty entree The concoction was pretty high over three inches but not because of it is fluffiness but rather because of all it is ingredients literally piled on top of each othernnI later found out with the help of my son that Oven Baking this entree supposedly provides a Fluffiness to the entree that Frying does not provide and supposedly the entree is NOT folded over as with traditional Omelets But he further added that the Yolk of the Eggs are supposed to be separated from Whites and the ingredients are layered during the Oven Baking processnnBTW all the Specialty items will require a close to minute wait for your Entree because of the Oven BakingnnSide Order of Buttermilk Pancakes Came with Meal I always have to provide a rationale to my son about how I judge Pancakes especially Flour based Pancakesnn Fluffiness You have two extremes under this category The n HeavyAss Pancake where it is sooo heavy that you have to go right n after your meal And then there is the lightasafeather Pancake that n will have you consuming close to a dozen without any ill effects n Unfortunately OPHs Pancakes are the HEAVY kindnn Absorption Again there are two extremes under this category n Pancakes that seemingly act like a Sponge no matter how much n Syrup you pour onto the Pancake the Pancake still needs more n and more and more And then there is the Pancakes the seeming are n resistant to Syrup or any kind of liquid the Pancakes just will not n absorb Syrup but you can sop up the Syrup with each forkfullnnOPHs Pacakes are the worst of the two qualities I mentioned above HEAVY and I mean HEAVY and no matter how much Syrup you put on the Pancakes WILL still need morennCoffee The Best part of the meal mainly because it was not objectionable But the Coffee did not have any positive attributes eithernnAfter talking to my youngest son about my experience at Original Pancake House yesterday he said that this specific location was supposedly the worst OPH location in Las Vegas I guess fate drove me here BTW my son is a fanatic about OPH in a good way
