Regional Favorites for Breakfast in Denver
Breakfast in Denver is a lot like everywhere else, but we have particular regional favorites that the locals love. At the top of that list is probably green chile (or chili, depending on who you ask). You can find versions of green chile all over town. It's smothering burritos, eggs, French fries and more. It's being served in bowls alongside tortillas and enjoyed at every meal of the day. We love our green chile in the Mile High City and everyone has an opinion on who makes it the best.
What are some other regional favorites for breakfast in Denver? How about the classic dish Huevos Rancheros, made with tortillas, eggs and salsa. And of course there's the Denver omelette, filled with ham, bell peppers and cheddar cheese. During the summer months you're bound to find breakfast dishes make with locally sourced produce like peaches, corn and berries. We love the Southern classic biscuits and gravy in Denver as well.
If you'd like a taste of the region for breakfast in Denver be sure to stop by and visit The Original Pancake House at one of our two locations. We recommend you try the Green Chile Eggs Benedict, made with avocado and chorizo sausage, topped with our green chile sauce. It's a delicious bite of Denver!
Top Three Reasons Why OPH Has the Best Breakfast in Denver
If you have ever eaten at The Original Pancake House then you no doubt have your own reasons why it has the best breakfast in Denver. But, if you’ve never eaten there before, here’s our top three reasons.
- Pancakes. We have the word pancake in our name, so you can bet we take them very seriously. We have the best breakfast in Denver because we take a lot of pride in our pancakes. We make our batter fresh every day, using a sourdough starter that we “grow” from scratch in our kitchens. It’s this sourdough that gives the pancakes their fine texture and makes them light and airy. We use the batter to make endless varieties of pancakes.
- Options. Whether it’s pancakes, waffles, crepes, French toast, eggs or savory breakfast options like biscuits and gravy or corned beef hash and eggs, The Original Pancake House has what you want.
- Hospitality. While the amazing food is of course our biggest draw, there are other important details that make us the best breakfast in Denver. When you dine with us you will enjoy our clean and welcoming environment, warm and friendly customer service, fair prices, big portions, consistently high quality, and our quick service.
Come taste for yourself why we have the best breakfast in Denver!
The Pancake House
At The Original Pancake House, we occasionally get letters from our customers letting us know about their experiences at our restaurant. We want to share this very special letter from one of our youngest customers, Sophia, a 4th grade student at Slavens School. Sophia’s 4th grade Language Arts teacher, Bo Sager, requested that each member of his class write about their favorite restaurant and then mail a copy of the letter to the owner of the restaurant. We are so touched by Sophia’s kind words and happy memories of breakfasts with us! Thank you, Sophia, for sharing your love of pancakes with us! We look forward to seeing you and your family again soon!
The Pancake House is a family friendly place. You can be loud without any rude comments. It is a cozy place it not too fancy but everyone is always nice. The Pancake House is an amazing restaurant.
You might guess what is on the menu. Pancakes of course. While there are other things on the menu, pancakes are their best. They are so good they must put buttermilk because they are full of greatness. They don’t only use the pancake batter for pancakes. They also use it for crepes. They put jelly, fruit, and chocolate on the crepes. Man the crepes are good. It feels like a party in your mouth. I do not like eggs at all. But the way they cook it makes it great. The best thing they make with egg is their omelets. You can ask for stuff like vegetables or bacon. Might I say that when you ask for bacon it makes it a 100 times better. If I didn’t get so full after this breakfast I would eat the whole egg omelet.
In one word to explain the service: great. They are quick to get you a table. In less than a minute they will have a server at your table. All of the servers are nice to you. They always make sure that you are taken care of and the food is good. This one time for my birthday I went to the Pancake House. They asked if it was my birthday and I said yes. 10 minutes later, they came with the most delicious crepe. It had jelly and strawberry on it.
The Pancake House is a great place. Their food is incredible and it’s at a fair price. So go now go to the Pancake House the best place to eat in the world.

Celebrating 20 Years of Delicious Tradition!
This month The Original Pancake House celebrates 20 years of serving delicious breakfasts to the Denver community. 20 Years! What a milestone. We are so proud to call Denver our home and are grateful to all of the customers who have supported us and have made each morning special.
Over the past 20 years we’ve kept our original recipes, serving a delicious variety of pancakes, crepes, fluffy omelets, benedicts and Belgian waffles, and our signature dishes including the German style oven-baked Dutch Baby Pancake and the cinnamon glazed Apple Pancake. We continue to make our batters from scratch every day, just as we did on our first day in business! All are carefully prepared and blended by hand using only the very freshest and finest quality ingredients available. In a day and age where folks are constantly in search of something “new,” we are proud to have remained true to our roots, our recipes, and our original menu. In our minds, tradition is delicious!
When we first opened our Cherry Hills location in 1996, we never dreamed that we would meet so many wonderful customers, servers, chefs, neighbors and friends who have made this business so special. Your smiling faces have made each morning bright. Thank you so much for the happy breakfast memories Denver! As we celebrate our anniversary this month, we are looking forward to another 20 years!
