Review Pancake Cafe - Chicago

Great breakfast spot. Food is a little pricey but you get a lot and it's quality. Honestly the IHOP across the street is nearly the same price and a million times worse in portion size and quality. This place is great, and your food comes out quickly. Meat lovers omelette with pancakes and hashbrowns. Edit: watch out for side of bacon it's 8 bucks for 3 slices not worth the price

Wonderful place to get delicious, generous portions, for a very reasonable price! Hubs and I went for brunch before the Cubs game. He got the sausage Benedict (perfectly poached eggs, and the English muffin had a lovely crispy crunch to it. Lovely hollandaise, too) I had the simple 2 eggs with sausage, and pancakes that even came with a choice of potatoes, so I went with Cubed Reds. (Outstanding!! The sausages were plump with just the right amount of flavor. Eggs cooked to a perfect Over Easy, and the Red Potatoes were ridiculously yummy. Fluffy on the inside, as if boiled, then cut, and crispy in the outside having been put on a flat top. And the pancakes were scrumptious. Obviously homemade, I tasted so many flavors that made me super happy) And the Bloody Mary was one of the best I've had. Top it all of with a fantastic atmosphere, and one of the kindest servers, Rachel, this will be our new go-to for sure!

My girlfriend took me here for my birthday breakfast, so of course, I had to order the birthday pancakes! It was mentioned that it was my birthday so they put a candle in my pancakes, sang to me, and gave me a free mimosa - it was all a really nice surprise! The pancakes were light, fluffy and delicious. The avocado toast was also really good but huge - 2 pieces of toast, 2 eggs and hashbrowns. The brewed Coffee was also quite good, which is important to me at a breakfast spot. The service was fantastic and the restaurant itself was very clean and had a great vibe. I highly recommend a visit.

Great space, great service (even for a busy Sunday brunch), and excellent food. Ordered western omelette with chocolate chip pancakes. Strawberry-rich fruit cup was a standout. Friends had breakfast burrito and salmon eggs benny - also delicious.

I ordered a steak skillet and birthday pancakes with pecans. Skillet and pancakes were delicious. My eggs were supposed to be over easy but they were super over cooked which was a bummer. I’d def visit again.

This place has really friendly servers. The food is pretty good, I think sometimes it need a bit more flavor but they have hot sauce at the table to flavor it up to your liking. I also had the fresh squeezed orange juice and found it hit the spot. I have had some of the sweeter dishes in the past and they were on point.

I ate buttermilk pancakes here after an 8 mile jog. The atmosphere is very nice. I was there soon after the place opened up. The pancakes were very delicious.

Stopped here for a quick snack while walking around the area. Good food, decent service. Much bigger in the back then it seemed when we initially walked in.

Great food, great service. The menu is extensive and everything sounded delicious. The portions are generous. I got eggs with homemade corned beef hash. It was definitely homemade and tasty. I selected pancakes to accompany. The were tasty and fluffy. My date got thick sliced bacon with eggs. Also excellent! I'd read about the bloody Mary. It was great.

Went for the first time for breakfast, was extremely happy with the food and environment. I took one bite of my skillet and immediately felt myself grin. It was that good. I will definitely be returning to try more of the menu! Thank you for the experience, see you soon!

Great food served quickly! I usually come here with a group, and often we get lucky and Gerardo and Jasmine serve us. Gerardo knows us by now and is a delight to work with, taking complicated orders and cashing us out individually, which is much appreciated. Gerardo and Jasmine are always welcoming and enthusiastic and it makes it a pleasure for our group to go there. Also, the menu is extensive and we always enjoy the food.

Stopped in for a late breakfast. Had the meat lovers omelette with toast. The food came out very quickly with a rather generous side of hash browns. Everything was excellent, the staff was very polite, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Amazing brunch at Pancake Cafe! The omelets were a great price and massive. 5 eggs, choice of cheese and so many fillings, hash browns, and side of pancakes. The servers were so friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. We were quickly seated and the food was fast. Great experience and would be back!

Awesome place! Very kind waiters, no long waiting time (do reserve if possible tho). Fair prices and tasted very well! Do highly recommend for a breakfast/brunch

The pancakes are so good, I recommend them stuffed with pecans. The loaded hash browns are so dangerous. The bacon is extra thick. I always get my eggs cooked correctly here, too. The tea is from a fountain machine, so it opt for the coffee instead. They have cute brunch cocktails. It's cute inside and the staff is always friendly. This is an ideal spot to work through a hangover, or start a long day. They have lots of options for kids for breakfast treats, too. There is outdoor seating if that's your thing, plenty of high tops and regular tables inside, and a full bar.

Amazing. Amazing. Visited Chicago and friend suggested this place.. best for breakfast and brunch.. avocado with poached egg is the best, must try. We also tried omelette and pancakes, everything was good. Definitely recommend this place.
