Father's Day 2024 - mission - have lunch at Original Alps with my mother, wife, and son. We arrived at 11:30 and the place was full. But we waited less than ten minutes to be seated. Everything started well, two people came by to ensure we had drink orders, setups, menus, and water. The server came by quickly to see if we had any questions and were ready to order, which we were.Two of us split a vegetable omelet, one ordered green chilaquiles, and I ordered a chopped steak with a salad and fries. The turnaround was fast, but the only item correct was the omelet. She delivered red chilaquiles and a hamburger. I sent back the burger since I can't eat gluten. She said she'd rush so we could eat together.Almost 15 minutes went by. Everyone was done eating when a cold chopped steak was delivered. I said something and heard excuses about how busy they were. I'm sorry and I empathize with how hard servers work, but an apology would have been nice. I cut into it and it was almost raw. So much for my Father's Day lunch.At least I got to spend it with my family. But, I would not recommend or go back to the Alps after this experience.

Worst customer service I ever experianced. The takeaway guy never clear understand because his mind is in many directions. Twice messup with our order and again third time gave the wrong order, even after all that he have a attitide which is unbelieveable. No matter you order while you dine in or order online its take hour to get your food. Would definetly not recommend this place. Also I never know that hashbrowns are the boiled slices of potatos with no crisp part until I ordered those from here.

Was in the neighborhood visiting a local school and needed coffee to wake up a bit. Saw this pancake house on the corner and decided to have breakfast with my coffee. It was busy but we were warmly greeted and seated immediately (party of 4). My coffee was served right away. Nothing beats a good cup of restaurant coffee! Menu was robust. Wasn't hungry so I went with the lumberjack breakfast. It was enough for two people! Eggs cooked perfectly. Kids had pancakes eggs and bacon. Wife had the chilaquiles skillet. Our server was very polite and attentive. She checked in regularly to top off our drinks. If you're in the neighborhood and need a good hearty breakfast you can't go wrong with the Original Alps!

We're staying at an Airbnb in Irving park and needed a close place for breakfast. Found the Original Alps Pancake House and was pleasantly surprised. Service was great, staff was friendly, and the food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Ample seating, no wait on a Thursday morning. I ordered the lumberjack which was huge, fresh, and delicious. Others with me ordered the blintzes and crepes, and they were very happy. We'll be back while we're here in Chicago.

Finally got it's needed facelift. My Son lives across the street, and I see this place every time I visit. He's always said it's not good. Today, we all went there for breakfast. People are friendly, and food was very good. I also felt it to be a very good value for what we ordered. My Son's opinion was changed. Even he said he would definitely return. Breakfast is both difficult to ruin, and even more difficult to make extraordinary. I'm happy when it better than expected.

I asked if the walnuts were inside the crepes, I was told "only on top", They were all throughout. Extensive menu. Over priced for the quality. The service was not good. I wouldn't recommend. Outdoor seating and only street parking. Establishment didn't seem to support BLM!

About 30 of us showed up in the morning after attending a funeral. They were able to seat us close together. Our wait help, Maureen was great! Our food came out in a timely fashion and was also hot! Everyone was gracious and accommodating! A great place to visit.

Did they change their recipe for the southern Benedict or is it just because the gravy is way too SALTY. Personally this use to be my favorite place to eat at but it FELL OFF really badly. And their service is good the waiters are nice and the overall ambience is like a a normal dinner. Also why are sausage patties RUBBERY like brother ew what's that brother?. Alps do you care to explain WHY THE HELL MY GRAVY IS YELLOW I want to throw up just thinking about it.
