Nick's Original House of Pancakes in Ann Arbor offers a variety of tantalizing breakfast choices, but an order of piping hot pancakes is a must. Cheapism says:

"Nick’s Original House of Pancakes delivers classic pancakes with a perfectly fluffy texture. It’s a longtime local favorite. One diner raved: “I want to thank [Nick] for the excellent cinnamon pancakes I had during my visit to his restaurant. This is exactly the place you want to be for a Saturday morning breakfast.”

More delicious pancake options include the Nature Boy pancakes with plump blueberries, toasted walnuts, and organic granola. Deliciously decadent Peanut Butter Chip pancakes, and Michigan Cherry and Walnut pancakes, loaded with sweet Michigan cherries and walnuts.

Whether you’re ordering a simple short stack or a towering plate loaded with fruit, cream, or candy, Nick's Original House of Pancakes is worth traveling to for the best pancakes in the Great Lakes state.
