The Anaheim location still is going strong. I have gone there for the past 35 years and love the Apple Pancake, which I split with my wife for great breakfast. I don't think one person could consume an entire pancake alone.

Are you confusing them with the IHOP chain? Which was started in the LA area?

I haven't been to LA for some years now.

Is Du Pars in Studio City still the place to go for pancakes ?

The best buttermilk pancakes could be found in Hillsboro, Oregon:

I'd rank Dinah's out near LAX, much better then Dupars. Dinah's is also a great example of "googies" style restaurant design.

Dottie's True Blue SFO is Closed on Tuesdays
 
After reading this thread I headed to Dottie's this morning.

A hand-written sign on the door indicated that it's closed on Tuesdays. I look forward to trying the blueberry pancakes tomorrow morning.

Absolutely NO! You want to go to Jumpin' Java Kitchen...a terrific, little breakfast place in Studio City with delicious pancakes; just don't mind the wait

How did I miss this thread? I whole-heartedly agree about the OriginalPanCake House!

We have one nearby in Plano - it's PACKED on Sunday morning's (our usual Pancake day, when we're in the mood for Carbs). Best bet is to get there around 9am - before the crowds get there. After 11am - it's usually a good 45-60 min wait for a table.

And the BEST pancake, if I recall correctly - is the one baked in the oven and lathered in butter... (mmmm)...

Had to google the site and get the description:

The pancake is called the "Oven baked". It's served with whipped butter, lemon and powdered sugar.

I can just feel my sugar levels rise thinking about it!

Have lived in Hermosa beach for the last 20 years -- haven't braved the Uncle Bill's line in many years! The pancakes are good, but not worth a half hour wait. Go to Hennessey's in Hermosa Beach, sit up on the deck overlooking the ocean (and the "scenery"), order a spicy Bloody Mary, and order an Eggs Benedict!

Oh wait, pancakes -- Another vote for the Original (on PCH in Redondo)

Well, I'm not one to brag but my lemon ricotta pancakes with fresh raspberries kick butt. :)

Made this brand of macadamia nut pancakes while camping a few weekends back. Unbelieveably wonderful start to a day of hiking!

Word is that O'Rourke's was destroyed by fire on Aug 31.

The previously mentioned "make your own" pancakes in DeLeon Springs is on my short list of places to hit, but I have not yet.

My favorite (sort of) local place is Breakfast Club in Orlando (Magnolia and Pine, I think). They have incredible banana crunch pancakes, and are quite reasonably priced.

My favorite place - ever - is Grove Cafe in Ames, IA. I can only say that the picture on this thread does not do the Grove pancake justice.

Easy.

Souffle Pancakes (with hint of lemon)

Cooked by head chef @ Tarragon @ Elk Mountain Resort near MTJ/TEX.

Unbelievably good and unbelievably filling.
