Pancake Café Wrigleyville | Breakfast, Brunch, & Lunch

We’ve been here before, but wow — this place has gotten even better. We met the new owner today and he was genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can really feel that the restaurant is in great hands now. The food was excellent with zero complaints (and that includes our very honest 11-month-old, who happily ate everything we offered off our plates). I got steak and eggs off their NEW special menu and was not disappointed! Can’t wait to try other items off of it. For coffee, I tried the latte and it was really good, not too sweet — the kind that makes you already plan your next visit before you’ve finished it. My husband ordered a Bloody Mary, which I ‘just tried a sip of’, and it was surprisingly delicious — and I’m not usually a fan of alcoholic drinks at all. Overall, great food, great

Our absolute favorite breakfast spot in Lakeview! The food here is consistently top notch. I always go for the Steak Skillet and pancakes—the skirt steak is perfectly cooked every time: tender, juicy, and never chewy. A close second is the Chorizo Skillet, which is the ultimate hangover cure—flavor-packed and satisfying. The wait staff is fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always ready with a coffee refill. This place never disappoints and is a must-visit for breakfast lovers! Update: 1:17/206 The loaded hash browns….best $8 you’ll spend, absolutely fantastic! They do not scrimp on the portion. The chicken and waffles were good, chicken was a little dry but that crispy skin and maple syrup was delicious.

Easy to get seated on a Saturday noon time with outdoor seating so we could have our dog with us. Note there were some wasps around. The food was good and big and didn't take long to come out. The service was great. Classic brunch spot!

I stopped by Pancake Café Wrigleyville for brunch and it hit all the cozy, comfort-food vibes I was hoping for. The space has that classic breakfast-spot charm — relaxed, bright, and perfect for a weekend morning with friends or family. The pancakes were the real standout: fluffy, buttery, and golden-brown with syrup that wasn’t too sweet. I also tried a breakfast combo with eggs and bacon, and everything felt fresh and made with care. Portions are generous, which makes it feel like great value for a hearty brunch. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, adding to the comfortable, easygoing feel of the meal. Overall, Pancake Café Wrigleyville is exactly the kind of place you think of for classic American breakfast and brunch — familiar, satisfying, and reliably tasty.

Great place for a good breakfast. Had a skillet and pancake sampler. Also the Irish coffee. All of it was very good.
