History & Traditions

In 1953, Les Highet and Erma Hueneke founded The Original Pancake House in Portland, Oregon (click here to view franchise headquarters). Since then, the restaurant has won world-wide acclaim and still provides outstanding food and service. No longer only in Portland, but franchises have grown and expanded all over the United States. Les and Erma had many years of experience that provided them with the tools to create a menu that is distinctive and original.

The products and family-oriented business had caught much attention for those who currently own an Original Pancake House. Fresh ingredients like pure 36% whipping cream, grade AA eggs, hard wheat unbleached flour and special sauces are made day-to-day in each kitchen. We also have a secret recipe for our famous pancakes that each and every store must replicate on a regular basis. Although we are all a part of the same franchise, we differ from state to state delivering something unique and different to make it our own.

We are all originals!
