The Original Pancake House

The Portland-born pancake chain (founded 1953) came to Las Vegas in 1995 through the Freudenberger family, and this Fort Apache Road location near Flamingo is its last one standing in the Valley. The draw is the oven-baked specialties: the giant Apple Pancake, loaded with Granny Smith apples and a cinnamon glaze, and the Dutch Baby, a puffy German-style pancake served with whipped butter, lemon and powdered sugar. Oven-baked omelets and thick-cut bacon round out the menu. The baked pancakes take longer to make, so order early if you’re on a schedule.
