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.

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.

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!

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

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.
