The Original Pancake House

The Original Pancake House in Gig Harbor, Washington, is a favorite destination for breakfast and brunch. Located at 5601 Soundview Drive, it sits conveniently near Uptown Gig Harbor and just minutes from the waterfront. The restaurant opened its doors in 2022, revitalizing the property that formerly housed the Harvester Restaurant.

This location is known for its commitment to fresh, made-from-scratch cooking. The kitchen prepares all sauces, syrups, and batters daily, with a focus on using fresh ingredients and avoiding freezers or microwaves. Signature menu items include the Dutch Baby, Apple Pancake, and 49'er Flapjacks. The award-winning buttermilk batter is made using an aged sourdough starter, a process that takes four days to complete. Beyond their famous pancakes, the menu features a variety of hearty omelets, waffles, crepes, and other breakfast classics. Gluten-friendly options are also available.

Guests consistently find generous portions and friendly service within a welcoming atmosphere, making it a community staple. The Original Pancake House brand was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1953, with a legacy of quality breakfast fare. For added convenience, delivery services are available through platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Postmates.
