Reviews for Old Fashioned Pancake House in Joliet, IL
I grew up going to Pancake House since the late 1980's. My Mom was a waitress there for bit. But it was her and my Dad's place... to go to eat or just sit for hours drinking coffee. They were regulars. They both have passed away. I moved out of the area andrecently moved back. Took my husband and kids there for their first time and my first visit in over 13 years. Most of the placehas remained the same. The nostalgia came flooding back. Even recognized the owner who was still at it! They were packed butservice was good and the food was delicious. In honor of my Mom,I got potato pancakes, something she often ordered. Now that Ilive close again,will definitely return. Prices are decent, something that is hard to find these days. Hard to find familyrestaurants as well. Definitely recommend. Read more
Service was excellent. Came at breakfast /brunch rush. I ordered the 2x3x4 which means two eggs three bacon and 4 French toast.... I had two issues. My bacon, although cooked, was limp and chewy. The fatty part at the end was not edible. Maybe this isstandard unless you say crispy? The lessor issue was the French toast was cold, like it was sitting waiting for rest of order.Will definitely come again, because the service was great and they may have just had an off day.

A favorite!! Menu: Nicely varied; many, many options Food: Always been so reliably yummy! Tasty, nicely portioned, whatever... we've ordered has never been regretted. Cooking staff is excellent, no matter what day we go. The soups are always so good. Thewraps are huge & delicious. The Florida crepes are fantastic. The burgers are great. Omelets are tasty. Pancakes are ginormousand moist and very good. Service: Never had a server that wasn't pleasant, attentive -- they've all been great & friendly! Wealways feel welcomed and valued. The bus'ing staff is respectful, nice, quick. Seating: Comfy booths and table seating areavailable (we always choose booth and always comfy) TV screens nice sized & clear, but we don't watch, so can't commentfurther My children and I have come here 15 yrs, and they STILL get happy to get to go!

I LOVE this place. The atmosphere is great, the people are great, and the food is always good. I think my favorite part is, they... NEVER let my coffee go empty. Awesome service! I got the chicken omelette.. Read more
Ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap and was gifted a chicken and wild rice soup (by mistake in my to go bag). The Buffalo chicken... wrap was good, though I could?ve used more sauce. The chicken wild rice soup was also good, though I added additional pepper.Overall 4/5. Good but could?ve been perfect with a few additions. I?d try again! Read more
Awesome service! The food was amazing! I did the 1x2x3. I wasn?t sure what to expect with the ?thin waffle?, it was turkey one... of the best waffles I?ve ever had (not pictured). The waffle was crispy yet fluffy and didn?t get soggy with too much syrup.Eggs were poached perfectly, bacon was thick and crisp and the hash browns were prefect. Read more
Excellent breakfast spot. Their lunch and dinner food sounded delicious too but I was there for breakfast.
