I stopped by again for the pancakes and tried the triple berry pancakes along with the All-American omelet, substituting egg whites. Everything was excellent! Although there was a bit of a wait to be seated, the incredibly friendly and welcoming service more than made up for it. The staff was amazing, making the experience well worth it.

Local favorite spot. This place always has great food and great service. It is small inside but I've never waited more than 15minutes for a table. I went with my 3 kiddos. At our table was stuffed French toast, strawberry & blueberry, fried French toast, honey chicken biscuits and regular French toast. Of course we had the normal breakfast items, eggs, bacon and scrapple. The server was amazing and attentive. I ordered a mango sorbet mimosa, which was delicious. My kids and I loved the food, but it was clearly too much to finish so we ended up taking some home. I love this local spot, I will be back.

Popped in here after PT one morning. Only a few minutes outside of Norfolk Naval base. Great service and a home feel. Coffee was fresh. I ordered the grilled corn beef hash with scrambled eggs cheese added. Friends ordered the strawberry pancakes, omelette, pancake stack. All food was fresh and came out quick. Definitely a hidden gem and the price is very reasonable. Check them out! Full bar also is a plus.

In my search for the very best pancakes in the area (which I've been told they have) I find myself at The Pancake House & Grill in Norfolk. The business has been around for many decades on Wards corner. The exterior looks basic and the business is in a strip with good signage. Surface parking was adequate. Debris was seen in the lot and walk up. The sign said wait to be seated which is fine, but have a hostess which they did not. The waitresses and owner took turns. They had a decent Friday brunch crowd. It took a bit to be acknowledged and then seated at a table. The dining room surprised me because it was updated. Can I be a bit disappointed, well all good. However I heard they had lots of nicely framed black & whites of Norfolk hanging on the walls. I actually saw a few on the floor in a corner. My waitress an older lady got me coffee and water and smiled. I utilized the gender neutral restroom in the back left and found it clean with proper supplies. I found the old photos pushed off in a back hallway. They were so cool and disappointing that they are no longer the centerpiece of the restaurant. They also have a full service bar with around six chairs in the rear. My coffee from Norfolk Coffee & Tea was amazing. This is a business that been inn the Norfolk area since the early 1900's. A few of my favorite business's carry them. So this was a great sign. My breakfast order was blueberry pancakes with eggs over easy and sausage. The eggs and links came out first, then shortly after pancakes. Although the pancakes looked amazing they were sweet potato and were taken back. Pretty sure the waitress made a mistake as they were returned to the kitchen. The eggs were perfectly done and sausage tasty. About 10 minutes later she returned with blueberry pancakes which ended up being worthy of the wait. Three hot cakes with a hot cup of syrup. She did a coffee refill. The cakes were possibly the best I've ever had, so moist and thin the way I like. Huge full blueberries were in the pancake batter to make these beauties. They specialize in pancakes and I saw a pumpkin special roll out too! As I enjoyed breakfast I was ready for a third cup of coffee as I drained my cup. My waitress did a refill at a nearby table but made no eye contact with me. A short time later after she returned the pot to the kitchen I got her attention for a refill. My bill was closed out table side with a small machine, I always tip 20% no matter, but did note service issues preventing the 4th star. A 3.5 seems to fit this brunch visit the best and I would return. If you go do not miss the photos by the restrooms.

Great place!! Only a mile from mi casa. Listen they don't fail on the food and the staff are really sweet people. I mean they love doing what they do and they show you that through service. There were plenty of people here this morning; lots of babies... happy babies. Soft music and a kind host. Everything flowed at the pancake house. Michelle, our server was great! Very kind and attentive.

I had brunch scheduled with a friend, and the place we'd planned on meeting was closed for some renovations. So, we looked for another place nearby and this one popped up. It's tucked in a strip mall, and there is quite a bit of parking so that's a plus. There was a line out the door for seating, so I figured I was in for a treat. Not so much.We got a table, and from there it was SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. Took ages for a server to acknowledge us and bring us drinks. Once they did, it then took ages for us to get our food. It was easily over two hours. But, I figured, that's just me as long as the food is stellar, the wait doesn't always matter. But this - eh. It was basic breakfast fare, nothing special to rave home about. I ordered an omelet that I customized with hashbrowns. The portion was large, I'll give it that, but the eggs were dry and my avocado was under-ripe which made it not cook particularly well in the omelet. The portion of hashbrowns was tiny by comparison. Honestly, something I could have gotten at any diner, anywhere - or even made at home pretty easily (and if I had, it would have been better). To top it off, took FOREVER to get the check and I was almost late to my next appointment.Overall, I was not super impressed - but perhaps I should have gone with pancakes at a place called the Pancake House. I'm not in this area often, so I doubt I'll be back, but if I do end up back here, I'll probably check that side of the menu out instead.

While visiting Norfolk, Va., I had an opportunity to have breakfast at the Pancake House & Grill during 2024 Xmas and New Year's holidays.During my first morning BF, I used their bathroom and it did not havepaper towels to dry my hands. I mentioned it to the employee staff.Days later, I returned for BF and once again, no paper towels to drymy hands. Again, I mentioned it to the employee staff and reminded themthat it was the second time I had to bring it to their attention.Restaurants need to supply bathroom paper towels for sanitary andhealth reasons especially during BF, Lunch an dinner and as our countryagain faces COVID, THE FLU, RSV, AND PNEUMONIA.Subsequent to my second reminder about the missing paper towels, the waitress staff ignored me and, in my opinion, did not wait on me intentionally while looking directly at me when passing my table.I got their payback message and left. Very immature GM and waitresses.

Food was cold. Waitress attitude was very nasty. The management gives off very racist. Extremely dissatisfied, will never eat from this place again.
