IIRC they had a really abysmal health inspection rating for a while--if that's improved, it's worth a trip. Went there the morning of my brother's wedding and all of us groomsmen had the chocolate pancakes...it's a wonder we didn't doze off during the ceremony.

Went there today for brunch--the wait wasn't too bad. As it happened, it rained on us after we finished eating; it has rained both times I've ever been to Manhattan Beach on the weekend. As we have had hardly any rain in LA for about a year, maybe I should go more often.

Pannekoeken Restaurant in Rochester, MN.
Not only are the pancakes delicious, but the servers skip and sing " Pannekoeken" every time they bring an order. Sweet.

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

Great thread idea...but I can't think of any in the Northern Virginia area! I want to say the Barnside Diner on Little River Tnpk, they are pretty decent. Can any NOVA people possibly suggest anything else?

I did not read through the entire thread so if this was already mentioned, I apologize, but,
I just saw a re-run of "VEGAS" or whatever the show is called, and the boss casino (James Caan) invited his cousin to the best pancake house in Vegas for breakfast. Let's just say the pancakes were not..........
I just wonder if that's true???

There are also locations in the Washington, DC area in Bethesda, MD and Rockville, MD. All are consistently excellent. Have NEVER EVER had a bad meal at any of their locations. Try the 49'er Flap Jacks!
