Any of the buttermilk pancakes , 49ers , and huge fluffy Santa Fe omelette are all delicious! There is a line , because it is so delicious, but the line moves fast. Meals around $10 a person.
Order a Dutch Baby ! Though not usually a pancake person, these are very special. My fav is the "Treat" version with strawberries & bananas . Enjoy with a side of bacon & their fresh pressed OJ . Heaven.
Pancakes served with everything! If you want eggs get a skillet ! Make sure to come here on an empty stomach because portions are massive! Outside patio is nice but lots of bees!
great location - a small place to pop in if you live in the neighborhood on a weekend. can’t go wrong with the pancakes , but there is usually a wait
"Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go..." for apple pancakes & other scrumptious comfort food . I hope this place never modernizes its front-of-house. Worth wait in-line.
Even though it's chain, Feels like great hole-in-the-wall breakfast place. Very popular, but the line moves fast, so you don't have to wait very long for a seat.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Blueberries-especially in pancakes . Staff is friendly , always smiling. Great value menu and did I mention pancakes !
You are 100% wasting your time and money if you get anything other than 49ers , Dutch Babies or Apple Pancakes . They are the best pancakes on the planet, other than my family recipe of course...
The best bacon you'll ever have. Go to pancakes : potato , apple , 49'ers, dutch baby . Best waitress : Brooke! Also, get the Chicken Andoille hash as a side. No visit here is complete without coffee .
The wait is relatively long on the weekend, but it is totally worth it! Pancakes are good. Try the chicken sausage skillet .
Dutch baby , Apple cinnamon ????
The chocolate pancakes are the best!!!
Good breakfast but you'll definitely have to wait if you go for brunch . Also the salsa is homemade and really good
Awesome, Swedish Pancakes w Lingonberry syrup .. I loved this place, went here when it was -10 outside a great Sunday morning.
Don't worry you can combine the Chocolate Chip pancakes with the Banana one!
Everything was great, food, style and servants. Will back again!!!
Good food, great to eat outside when the weather is nice, wait can be annoyingly long if you have a larger group though and they may try to put all of you at a table that doesn't fill the whole party.
Popular spot. Prepare yourself for at least a 20-30min wait in Summer.Great service, delicious bfast and well priced.
The Dutch Treat is a favorite! It's a Dutch pancake filled with strawberries and bananas . Definitely worth a try!
The portions are yuge. Great breakfast . Real maple syrup !
Don't let the line discourage you - it moves quickly, as all locals know. Actually? You probably don't have enough time - keep moving.
The Dutch Treat is a Dutch Baby full of strawberries and bananas . Totally indulgent without being way too sweet.
You can order a half order of any of their pancakes . Instead of 6, they give you 3. Definitely more manageable on some mornings :)
I loved this place! It has that atmosphere that makes you feel like if you were at home
AMAZING breakfast ! I ate all my pancakes . Food coma but a good coma. I would def come back here!!!
49er flapjacks are such a treat!! Really nice food, much better than IHOP!
Must try their 'Dutch Baby ' - baked pancakes , the texture was very fluffy! Their western omelette was great too! Love this place
Enjoyed the Hawaiian Pancakes ; Strawberry Waffle ; Corned Beef Hash and, while we were warned that the Apple Pancakes could take up to 25 minutes to cook, they are WELL worth the wait! The Apple Panca Read more
Great to learn that the Original Pancake House is in different places nationwide. They have the BEST breakfasts and don't be afraid of the 49ers ...you know you like goooey pancakes ;-)
They have the best pancakes I've ever tasted...who cares about the other stuff...everything is good but you MUST order something with pancakes . You won't be dissappointed.
The apple pancake is amazing. But beware it's huge, so might be worth sharing.
Good service , friendly staff and you always have enough in your plate !
Dutch baby is perfect! Just make sure that you "share" it with someone ☺️
Banana Pancakes ! Mmm... I've had Jack Johnson's song stuck in my head since eating banana pancakes this morning. The tropical syrup is really good, too!
Best pancakes ever! Aside from the ones I make at home...and their chicken sausage is incredible
Generous portions to say the least. Pancakes are their specialty but they have a full range breakfast menu . Small and cozy with communal seating , noisy , average service.
Try a side corned beef and hash !
Amazing place to discover America ❤️????????
Yes!! The apple pancakes are legendary for a reason and don't feel bad if you can't finish them.
Long lines , but quick move. Great breakfast , a real original and friendly service .
The morning ambiance is perfect! Pancakes or bust! ❤️
Apple pancake is huge and fantastic!
My favorite Chicago tradition. Best breakfast in the city
Corned beef hash was excellent.
Don't be too intimidated by the line , it moves quickly
Viewing area to make your taste buds water as you wait in line !! Looks good!
Cherry Kujala crepes Dutch Dee lish
The buttermilk pancakes were the bomb!!! Full stack all the way!!
If you get eggs they'll come with pancakes , though the side order is pretty small.
Everything÷!
