Papa Pete's Home of the Giant Pancakes

The service and atmosphere at Pete’s Pancake House was incredible. The staff is so friendly and made the overall experience amazing. They serve their pancakes with homemade Vermont Maple Syrup that is definitely worth a try. Came for breakfast left with core memories. Definitely will come back :)

As you may know if you follow my comments, I have a very rare allergy to onions 🧅 garlic 🧄 and many other ingredients belonging to the same family. Here they have been exceptionally helpful and have adapted to my diet. Above this, and beyond the great and tasteful (and generous!) meal, I have to say they are awesome people. You feel like if you knew them all your life. You feel like if you were in family! I have no words to recommend this little paradise, how they make you feel. Cooking and heart go hand by hand here. Please, come and experience their breakfast and love.

Nestled in the scenic foothills of Bennington, VT dwells a sinister pancake challenge silently and successfully slaying food warriors without a single defeat since 2016. At Papa Pete’s House of THE Giant Pancakes, one must complete 3 of their legendary 14-inch pancakes that can weigh between 2.5-3 pounds each! There is no time limit to finish this massive stack, but it must be completed before the restaurant closes at noon. Winners receive all their pancakes for free and a t-shirt proclaiming “I conquered the Papa Pete’s Challenge.” Losers must pay $60 dollars for the pancakes and leave with belly clobbered by carbs. Though thousands of brave souls have attempted, only 12 eaters have demonstrated enough gastric gumption to gobble all three of Papa Pete’s Giant Pancakes in one sitting. Ent

THE FRIENDLIEST BREAKFAST PLACE EVER! If I lived nearby, I'd be a regular! The owner, Kathy, and my server, Stacy were wonderful. I've never had so many laughs at breakfast. I felt like one of the family.

We stayed in Bennington for the weekend and saw Papa Pete’s as we looked for restaurants in the area. Advertised as the”Home of the Giant Pancake” - it totally delivers on that promise! This is no thin crepe pancake, it is a full 14” round, 1” thick delicious behemoth of a pancake. While we were warned that it’s huge, we just didn’t comprehend how much breakfast it was. Think of a small pizza - easily feeds 3-4 people and possibly a young family of 5. We also had other breakfast plates and they were great too - the pancakes( normal sized) being the centerpiece of the meal. The vibe is home kitchen eclectic and the service is snarky and blunt ( in a fun way).
