Colonial Pancake House

A year ago, Sophia and I drove to the 'Burg for breakfast at a long standing spot. The food was really good and we went back sometime in the Spring as well. So for the Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to make the drive here once again to see how things were.Upon walking inside, you can see the specials written on their board. Just like a year ago, country fried steak was the special. And that's we both ordered again. I had mine with home fries, scrambled eggs and buttered toast and Sophia had hers with home fries, fried hard eggs and buttered toast along with coffee and water. And like before, both of us enjoyed our meal. Our meals came out in a timely manner cooked very well. Like before, I added salt and pepper to the eggs for a bit more seasoning (each restaurant does their food differently), but the both of us were filled up nicely for the morning drive.Well, that was our experience. Great service from the staff, a good crowd on hand for a post-Thanksgiving meal and a great vibe all around. I don't think we could've asked for anything more. Till next time :)

Pancake houses are a tourist town staple in the south, and this one does not disappoint. Friendly service and lots of options for an American breakfast make this a great choice. It's your basic traditional diner. I got the gluten-free pancakes with cherries. The cherries were pie-filling style with lots of good goo. The pancakes themselves were a disappointment. They were a cornbread-tasting mix, and they got really gummy when I ate them. It was uneatable, honestly. Paying extra and getting unappetizing products is the curse of the allergy diner. Parking is easy in the off-street lot.

I got the 2x2x2 with 2 pancakes, 2 eggs over easy, and two strips of bacon along with adding a side of the fried potatoes. The food was very delicious!! The service was superb with our waitress being very attentive and making sure we had everything we needed including a very quick turnaround on getting the food out. The ambience is very causal and welcoming with a fire going on this chilly morning. I'll definitely be back!

Tried for the first time and was a nice breakfast place with a-lot of pancake options and various other breakfast options. Service was fair. Thank You

Came here today and well I'm sort of disappointed. I was expecting a 4 star but I have to give it a 3 star as the waffles were super bland, along with the orange juice that tasted super artificial. The service was kind and the ambiance was good. So yeah that's my review

What an incredible establishment!Food was splendid and the portion size was absolutely INSANE. The food that came out was exceptional quality to boot. Exactly what an old fashioned dining experience should be like. Wait staff was kind and efficient. Constantly checking up on us and refilling coffee as needed. Location was great with ample parking near a podunk hotel that was a little sketchy not gonna lie. Ambiance felt like you were thrown back a decade while also embracing its environment in historic Virginia.If you're staying in Williamsburg or visiting Busch Gardens/Water Country I could not recommend this place highly enough.

There are so many pancake places in the area it is kind of hard to choose. This is a nice homestyle feel restaurant. The waiter was very nice a polite. He checked on us numerous times in our 45 mins there. The pancakes are pancakes. Nothing too crazy. The apple pie pancakes are very sweet so be prepared. The pigs in a blanket were exactly what the name says. And the 2 cakes and bacon were "delicious" as my 9 yr old put it. But everything was cooked great and met expectations.The decor was a little old school but it works for the area. Parking is around back and you walk to the front. It's on a busy road so be careful.

We are great believers that while "on holiday", to stay up as late was we like......sleep till we wake....have a coffee....the LOOK for breakfast. Which for some, probably most is lunch.We ate here twice and had a pancake for her, a waffle for me and then egg and meat sausage, bacon or ham.....We liked it as we came back in the week we were there.It was good, but I can't say there was anything that made it stand out as exceptional.so the review isn't negative but then not really strong.The pancakes and waffles were cooked as we asked. The meat was ok, not plentiful or unusual.The service which can make or break a meal out was good, the waitress was there when we needed something.I gave it a '3' rating because the site says this is average, which it was. An insight for us breakfast is seldom something we search out for something extraordinary it needs to be good food, ready coffee and service that meets our expectations which are not as much as for a dinner. I would refer to it as "don't screw it up".Which happens......

Pretty standard waffles with fresh fruit and side of scramble eggs and sausage! It was very busy and we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated without a reservation. The staff are very nice and helped us very quickly. It was a nice cozy diner experience.
