mmm-yoso!!! is being written by Cathy today; Kirk is unavailable.
Originally, I wrote about The OPH in 2009 then again in 2013 and once more in 2015. It's time to share another breakfast. 
Going early is smart; the line can get long and some tables have been removed to be socially distanced. The menu choices are the same, as are the heavyweight silverware, real half and half for coffee ($3.55, kept constantly filled) and even condiments on the tables. 
Diced honey-maple ham and eggs with pancakes as the side ($13.25). It's a good ham (and there's plenty) mixed in with the fluffy, soft scramble of eggs. The pancake batter here is unique and the cakes are always prepared properly, having a light-crisp exterior and cake soft interior with a slight buttermilk 'twang' of flavor, if you don't overpower with syrup or whipped butter.
Banana nut pancakes ($13.75) are sometimes all you need. There are smaller pieces of pecans and diced banana inside each buttermilk pancake. The banana slices are just the right amount of sweet needed for each bite.
Another memorable breakfast, able to be enjoyed indoors.
