Des Plaines Pancake House

I love the Des Plaines Pancake House. I’m so happy that it survived the pandemic closures. The service is always great, the food is always excellent. Especially the omelettes and pancakes! I usually go with the Des Plaines Omelette or the Santa Fe Omelette. Sometimes the Meat Lovers Omelette. With pancakes and hash browns. It’s hard to change it up, there’re so good! But they have a huge breakfast and lunch menu. I’m actually on my way there right now, and I’m going to do my best to try something new. Maybe. My law office is a couple of miles away, and I live in Des Plaines, so it’s very convenient. But because this restaurant is right on the downtown DP border, it’s convenient for anyone in Des Plaines/Park Ridge/Niles! Try it out!

Stopped in for a Saturday morning breakfast and we were very pleased! We both ordered omelettes - Santa Fe and mushroom. Cooked to perfection and perfectly cheesy inside. The pancakes are the kind you’d want - a little fluffy, sweet, tasty. We both had hash browns too which were good - basic nothing crazy. Prices were fair and affordable. The coffee was good and so was the service. The inside is comfortable and small. We will definitely be back!

The place is extremely clean. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Kathy the waitress is very helpful and the gentleman helping her on the floor was beyond great. They are over the top with keeping people safe.
