About us

When we opened in 2017, we didn’t start from scratch. We carried forward the OPH recipes developed by Les and Ron Highet in the 1950s; recipes that still define what we do today. We’ve kept those foundations intact while building a space that feels familiar and easy to settle into.

Today, the goal hasn't changed: serve the finest pancakes in Upper Arlington, Westerville, and New Albany. We keep things welcoming and give people a place they can rely on for the best breakfast any time of day.

The Original Pancake House® serves signature pancakes and classic American breakfast favorites in a relaxed, casual setting where guests can settle in any time of day. Our menu is shaped by distinctive regional influences and built around fresh, carefully selected local ingredients, bringing consistency and care to every plate so each visit feels just as satisfying year-round.

We want to take this opportunity to say thank you. Our tremendous success is because of you, our loyal customers, who have allowed us to become a part of your family. We also want to thank all the individuals who have helped spread the word by leaving kind reviews online. These recommendations are one of the greatest gifts you can give to a local establishment like ours.
