I was surprised by how large the restaurant is; was able to get a seat immediately. I ordered lunch, tuna melt and my companion had breakfast. The food was okay, the employees were friendly and the prices were decent.

This place is decent for probably breakfast and lunch type things. It serves meals from like 8:00 in the morning till 3:00 in the afternoon. But then in the evening it's just a bar. So if you want to go there in the evening you won't get any meals. In the evening it's just a bar I don't know how late the bar is open. But the guy that works there is pretty friendly.

Visited Chicago over the weekend. The staff & owner were very accommodating. Food was great, they really took time to make sure we were taken care of; especially the grandkids. Thanks

We were visiting our son who lives in the neighborhood and visited this restaurant twice. Sitting outside was a pleasant experience and the good was superb, as was the service. I had the pancakes one day and eggs the next. Both were equally good. Those of you who live in this neighborhood have a jewel of a place to start your morning!

I order pickup from here every Sunday. I never write reviews. I actually think this is the first food review I have ever left on anything for that matter. They have always had my order ready and are quick to get me in and out with the food hot. The first time I ordered I got the Blueberry Blitz French Toast and it was honestly one of the best breakfast items I had ever eaten. I experienced an internal debate whether or not to leave a review then, but after ordering it just now. literally writing this with it still in front of me. I had to say something. Go to this place. Order anything and you will not be disappointed.

Pretty good breakfast spot. They have a lot of pancake options, but they are not anything great. They are good. I would say the name applies more to the amount of pancake options. The bacon filled waffle was delicious. Service was friendly and solid. Would definitely walk back to this spot.

This is one of my favorite neighbor spot to go to! They have an array of breakfast/lunch option to choose from but my favorite are the strawberry crepes. I highly recommend it!

Really good neighborhood breakfast place! It's always full on the weekends so be prepared for a line. COVID didn't help the situation as there's less space for customers. Inside is socially distanced, and when it was warmer out, they had dividers for outside diners to adhere to the rules. I love their pumpkin pancake and I'm happy they are surviving the pandemic.

Got the Banana Lovers French toast and a side of bacon. Fantastic French toast. Coffee is good. Bacon was overcooked. Only reason for a 4 star.

I had an amazing eggs Benedict here. Canadian bacon was sliced thick and the Hollandaise was very nice. Very good!

I was able to dine-in which was cool lots of social distancing going on. Anyways service was fast and very accurate. I just needed a quick bite before my long drive across two states. All together I was satisfied with the service and cleanliness.

Great service! Seated immediately. Karen is the bomb... she hooked us up with mimosas instantly and carried on with exceptional service! She can memorize any order without writing it down! That's impressive! 🌟

See this place as I drive by. Today we made it our breakfast destination. Two side to dine in, one being a bar side the other a dining area. Good selection of foods on the breakfast menu. Order placed and enjoyed the coffee. Food and I mean lots of food is served. Everything was tasty. Good job!

Good food, rarely a wait even at peak brunch times. Staff is kind and the manager usually drops by to make sure your food was good. They're quick to fix any errors and have no problem splitting checks.

This is a decent place to go. We went there once. I got the corned beef hash with hash browns and eggs. The hash browns were nice and crispy. My eggs were to be over medium but they ended up being over easy. Not too big of a deal just a but under cooked on the whites. The main thing that got me was the quality of the corned beef hash. It was not very good. I have had worse though probably at Stella's down the street which was canned corned beef. The best corned beef I have honesty had was at eggsperience. Other than that its a nice place, I would go again.

We have been coming to Pancake Cafe every weekend since it opened & live a few blocks away near Wrigley (rain or shine). We always have our amazing friend Wally as our server! So thankful to have met our friend there and also receive kind + quick service from the PC family. Also, the bacon waffle is amazing!

What a great place, it's such a great addition to the neighborhood. Dog friendly patio. The owner and servers are so personable. I will be back soon. Glad to have a local go to stop. Bloody Mary’s are good. Food is great too.
