    Service not the best, had to ask someone to take drinks order after waiting 15min agter being seated. Pancakes are huge and good tasting, but won't go out of my way to go there again No Bitterballen or Krokette, but they explained that when it was on menu no one ordered it. Will have to find my Dutch snacks somewhere else

    Very great experience and great food as always. It'd be nice if once guests are seated they'd be served and not having to call the waiter. There was a gentleman who had a ponytail that served us, he was professional. Thank you MOD, would highly recommend.

    I recently ordered the kid's pancake, and unfortunately, it tasted off—extremely acidic, to the point that my daughter couldn’t eat it at all. I brought this to the staff's attention, expecting at least an alternative or some kind of gesture, but nothing was offered. To make matters worse, I was still charged the full price. As a long-time customer of Old Dutch Pancake, this was very disappointing. I’ve always enjoyed coming here, but after this experience, I’m not sure I’ll be returning.

    Great food and drink but very slow service. Surprising as pancakes you think would be a quick make.

    Really glad I came to My Old Dutch Pancake this was my first time. I liked the idea of the savoury and sweet pancakes. The menu has a very wide selection. I tried both a savoury and sweet pancake and boyyyy was I full after the first! But of course had to try the sweet too! The savoury pancake was like a pizza but on a pancake which was absolutely lovely. I had the create your own for both the savoury and the sweet which I did feel was overpriced per topping and probably an overly expensive option. I would definitely recommend coming here as had a lovely time with my mum and enjoyed the food. I would also however say that as there is a service charge on top of the quite heavily priced food the service could have been better and more frequent as we had to ask for the service more often that any staff coming over to the table.
