Uncle John's Pancake House

I've been an Uncle John's fan for many years, a Toledo tradition. So when they moved I thought one more landmark was gone. I finally went to their new location today for breakfast. We were settled immediately and our waitress came over and introduced herself and took our drink order. When our drinks came we placed our order. Food came in an orderly manner (hot) and was prepared very well. The ambiance was just like I remembered. A lot of the same items, even the boat hanging from the ceiling in the side room. For those who remember it there's still a lot of the same old but a lot of the new. The wait staff all seemed happy to be there but a special shout-out to our waitress Anyssa. GREAT JOB! One drawback, plenty of parking but a little bit of a walk. I'll diffinally well be back.

New location yelp. Now its housed in a shopping plaza on the edge of UT campus. Parking is in the back of the plaza. There is plenty of it however this may be a problem for less abled body persons. Most of the folks that come here during the week have been coming for years and years so are not as young as they used to be. Not really anywhere to drop them off.When I came in there was no one at the front entrance so I proceeded to the please seat me sign. I literally stood there longer than it took my food to come out. There were maybe 10 tables. Still work to be done here.Smaller than the old location with tables and booths all within view as you stand there. I was ready to order by the time the server made it to my table to take my drink order and I'm one to waffle over my orde for a bit.Friendly server and efficient once she got started. Got pancakes sausage eggs n potatoes. All came hot and tasty. And you know what? When i put the butter on top it actually melted. Yum. They bring the credit card machine to your table and the server does it all leading to that uncomfortable moment of do you want to leave a tip? Suggest you bring cash for the tip so you can leave what you would like without awkwardness. Give it a few months to get up to speed and drop your less able folks as you enter the lot. Close as you will get. Its a bit of a hike

Man has this place truly changed over the years. Back when I first started going to the old location 15 years ago it was easily one of my favorite breakfast spots in town. Went to the new location a couple weeks back and it's nice looking but that's about it. Food was blah at best. Eggs tasted odd and everything else was lackluster. Bring back the old Uncle John's. I'll stick to some of the other countless great breakfast spots in town.

Ambiance was great, service was very good (Paris was our waitress) and food came out quick. That being said they food was average or maybe below average. Eggs Benedict was just meh. Disappointed that they don't offer real maple syrup (just that fake high fructose corn syrup crap) and the fruit bowl was terrible, the strawberries tasted like they came out of a can with syrup... I might give it one more try and order different food.

Loving the new location!! More room, less wait time. Still super small waiting area so be ready on a weekend for long wait time and crowdedness. Service is usually always good- but just average. Nothing ever above and beyond. Never any problems with the food always comes out timely and fresh!

Pancakes and potatoes were both really good, staff was friendly but unfortunately the service was super slow!

The decor in the restaurant was nostalgic to look at while dining. The food was okay when you consider the prices were really cheap. I had the pecan waffle, I was really hoping for them to be cooked in the waffle but unfortunately they were not. My hubby had the waffle with bananas on top, which was okay. My daughter had the chocolate chip pancakes which she enjoyed. They had different syrups that we didn't try. We used the regular original version.The waitress was extremely nice.

We had an amazing breakfast here today and the owner Rachel was so sweet. The food tasted so good and was very nicely priced. Get the hot chocolate!!!

Second visit to the new location and both times greeted in a friendly manner. Waitresses and our tables dishes were really excellent. The new building is very clean and nicely decorated. Uncle John's is worth going to and we'll be back for sure

I now live in CA but grew up in Toledo. Every time I visit family in CA I stop at Uncle John's. Love the new location while keeping the memorabilia!
