I think they are missing Pollys Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, NH.

Pancakes were small, overpriced, and not very good. And the place is too small. Maybe it would have been better had they not been so busy, but if I spend $25 for two on four pancakes and a cuppa joe each, I expect a little more for my money. Cooking pancakes isn't rocket science.

Best Pancakes in the USA? Definately the Buttermilk Pancakes made and served by me at my house.

The ORIGINAL Pancake House

All items made from scratch, high quality and a premium price, but well worth it.

sohony

would put dotties higher up on the list--but dont get the cornmeal--buttermilk much better.

spinnerman

I couldn't agree more !!!

Watchful

For a chain restaurant, the "Country Griddle" pancakes at IHOP are pretty good - they have cream of wheat mixed into the batter. Sounds odd. I never woulda tried 'em if Ken Hoffman (the delightfully wacky writer for the Houston Chronicle) hadn't touted 'em so highly!

I always add the boysenberry syrup on top.

Ol' South Pancake House in Fort Worth, TX on University Drive.

Honolulu's Eggs 'n Things - with all the wonderful and varied toppings (the fresh fruit and guava syrups made daily), Just thinking about that great little place and I'm ready to book a flight to HNL.

I've eaten at Pamela's, and at Dottie's True Blue. (In fact, I had the blueberry cornmeal pancakes that morning at Dottie's, and I remember them being good.) Fine breakfast choices, certainly. I can't really say if they've got the "best" pancakes. It's just not a common order for me. I'd probably more likely choose an omelette at most places. (If there's a house specialty, I might lean towards that. Otherwise, right now, I'm not in eating breakfast out mode at all.)

We have a branch of Original Pancake House in the area, but I've never eaten there.

Another vote for the ORIGINAL... I didn't even realize it was franchised until I checked out the website you posted and know nothing about the other locations.

We discovered it in Portland about 25 years ago while I was attending summer school in that lovely city. In fact I believe we saw one of the original owners (who has sinced passed away) in there more than once. It was well worth the 45-minute wait some Sunday mornings and we gradually ate our way through the menu. We've returned there every few years when traveling in or through Portland and the quality remains high AFAIK.

I third that. Used to go to the Orig PH when I lived in Scottsdale and always enjoyed it.

Also, I will add one more (that is a lot better than PJ's). For those in the San Fernando Valley, there's a place in San Fernando called Pancake Heaven. Good stuff. Been around forever and a day.

I will also vote for the Original. Often eat it when I am in South Denver.

Oh my yes. I remember it from its old location (before it was razed/moved for the freeway extension).

A little further away, the macademia nut pancakes at The Big Island Grill in Kona on the Big Island are very, very ono.
