Original Pancake House

What a find.. we are from the UK and wanted to find some traditional Chigago and this was it. Tucked away off the main street the atmosphere was great, service excellent, food wonderful. Had cornbeef hash, yummy. Meat skillet with pancakes followed by cherry crepes - heaven. If you are in this area of Chicago this is a must.

Came in here on a recent morning and it was quite crowded. A very short wait and I had a table. I had the banana pancakes in which the bananas were not ripe enough. They were just ok, but the quick sevice and friendly staff made up for it.

Just got back from Chi-town and ate here again. Love coming in the fall when they have pumpkin pancakes. They're served with pecans, maple syrup and a bit of whipped cream. Almost good enough to be dessert, but I like them for breakfast. The orange juice definitately tastes fresh and freshly squeezed. It's also a pleasure to end up sitting with someone you don't know at times and starting up a nice conversation. We love coming here.

The pancakes are delicious! I couldn't decide what to order and can't wait to go back and try them all! The line is really long on the weekends, but it moves quickly, so don't be discouraged. The patio is lovely when the weather is nice.

I ate at the Pancake house when I was in town visiting my sister. The food was delicious! There are no diners like this in NY. The farmer's scrambled eggs and the strawberry waffle are to die for! I cannot wait to visit Chicago again to indulge myself at this fantastic diner!
