Millbrae Pancake House

Been coming here since the 90s. Food is not particularly spectacular or trendy but it’s nostalgic! If you grew up in Millbrae/Burlingame/San Bruno area, many of us ate here with friends and families. Something we must order is the Swedish pancake. It’s this thin pancake that comes with flavored whipped cream. Oh and the ambience is timeless… looked the same as 30 years ago except it’s well maintained and clean. Will always come back for a casual brunch when we are in town.

My mom ate at this place a long time ago and I was convinced to go. I wanted to taste their pancakes, thinking it would be better than fast-food or Jack's restaurant. The moment we got there, it was packed and there was no parking. The moment we went inside the place, the atmosphere was terrible. It was packed and the workers wanted people to go and leave without giving them time to set in or order. When we finally sat down at a table, already the server wanted us to order right there and than without going through the menu. The server was nice but she seem to rush me and my mom and wasn't really engaging towards us. She even convinced my mom to order bacon even though she told her that she didn't want any. And the moment that we got our food, it was sloppy and it smelled. I didn't expect the food to look so bad. The pancakes were like crepes. I'm not sure that was the style but I thought they would be fluffy which they weren't. I order the banana pancakes which I found very sad looking and the taste wasn't nothing special. It was okay but not good. The bacon was really salty and the eggs were plain. The harsh browns were the only thing I liked but there were some parts that were wet which I found concerning. With the butter, it tasted odd especially the one with berries in it, it tasted bad. The drinks were the only thing that was highlight and I know they didn't make it. With the pricing was bad, my mom paid 55 dollars on food that later on got her and myself really sick and the heat didn't help and the place made it really tight. The bathrooms were to small. My mom also found paper on the floor that had poop on it. Also, a guy went inside the girl's bathroom and nobody didn't say anything about it. Overall, never going to Pancake House ever again. I was disappointed and my mom never wants to go there again. I was looking forward on good or great pancakes. And knowing what happened with the incident of the man getting unalived and ate there before he died was really disturbing. Never going there again.

I compared my visit from the past,the service was friendly but very busy,I ordered what always order for breakfast but I was sad it didn't taste the same and my eggs,bacon and potatoes plate was sloppy..55.00 dollars was not worth it

Buttermilk pancakes.. just yummy !!

Food was ok. Fully filling for your big appetite.

Every time I order online they always forget my drinks or an item.

Pancakes are ok but the link sausage is full of fillers, bland, and a waste of calories. Eggs benedict were good and so was the French toast. Service is irritatingly slow; prepare to be ignored for a while.
