Our Story

WHAT ARE PANCAKES?
Pancakes are the very old beginnings of bread and pastry.
Generally a pancake is any kind of batter fried or baked in a skillet,
griddle, or on a hot surface. People of all nationalities have made
pancakes from time immemorial. Today pancakes are enjoyed
for breakfast, luncheon, dinner and even for dessert.
THE ORIGINAL PANCAKE HOUSE
Founded in 1953 by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke in Portland, Oregon. Drawing upon their many years experience in the culinary field and comprehensive working knowledge of authentic national and ethnic pancake recipes, they were able to offer a unique and original menu which has gained national acclaim and remains unchanged to this day. These recipes made from scratch daily, demand only the very finest of ingredients such as pure whipping cream, fresh Grade AA eggs, hardwheat unbleached flour, and our sourdough yeast.It is our constant objective to serve you the finest pancakes available anywhere. We strive to create an environment that offers a clean, friendly atmosphere with quality food and consistently good service. We choose to cook everything to order and offer unique menu items that take longer than the industry standard: products such as our oven baked Apple Pancake, Dutch Baby and souffle style omelettes. The special care we take produces results well worth the effort. Nothing can replace the fresh product for food value or taste. Thank you for coming to The Original Pancake House in Boulder. My staff is loaded with colorful personalities with hard work ethics ready to spoil you. Thanks as always for your support.

Your Host,
Larry Fitzpatrick and Staff
