text: My youngest son's future Father-In-Law had Breakfast at this Original Pancake House location yesterday... the very first time I've been to an OPH, even when I was living here... I was just shaking with anticipation of a great Breakfast.\n\nOn the menu...\n\nIrish 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 two-Stars, but because of it's heftiness the concoction provides a Value deserving of something a litte higher. All the \"Specialties\" are Oven-Baked... I asked the waitress what is the difference between an Oven-Baked entree versus something you just grill in a Frying Pan... \n\nShe replied that this was actually her fist week... and that she'd get back to me...  \n\nOtherwise, this is a rather pedestrian and a very bland \"Specialty\" entree... The concoction was pretty high... over three inches, but not because of it's fluffiness.... but rather because of all it's ingredients literally piled on top of each other\n\nI 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 process.\n\nBTW, all the Specialty items will require a close to 20 minute wait for your Entree... because of the Oven Baking...\n\nSide Order of 3-Buttermilk Pancakes (* 1/2 Came with Meal) I always have to provide a rationale to my son about how I judge Pancakes, especially Flour based Pancakes.\n\n 1) Fluffiness - You have two extremes under this category - The \n  Heavy-Ass Pancake - where it is sooo heavy that you have to go right \n  after your meal. And then there's the light-as-a-feather Pancake that \n  will have you consuming close to a dozen without any ill effects. \n  Unfortunately, OPH's Pancakes are the HEAVY kind...\n\n 2) 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's 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 fork-full.\n\nOPH's Pacakes are the worst of the two qualities I mentioned above... HEAVY - and I mean H-E-A-V-Y... and no matter how much Syrup you put on... the Pancakes WILL still need more!\n\nCoffee (***) The Best part of the meal, mainly because it was not objectionable. But the Coffee did not have any positive attributes either.\n\nAfter 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...
