    The food was mediocre for the price range. The vibes were fun though and it was pretty crowded on a weekend morning. Chace's Pancake Corral has an old-fashioned diner vibe which was very homey. The staff were friendly and there is a variety of food on the menu.

    Fantastic pancakes and great service. I really loved the hot syrup as well. It's a little Smokey in the restaurant so we left our jackets in our cars.

    Local breakfast and lunch place institution with friendly folks, welcoming atmosphere, and although the food came out quickly, a place to loiter a bit for that coffee refill.

    Established in 1958, Chace's Pancake Corral is the oldest restaurant in Bellevue, WA, serving up the original menu breakfast offerings. The current owner is the daughter of the eponymous founder. My wife and I (along with my daughter/son-in-law's dog) made it a destination for our Saturday morning walk, and it ended up being a good place for a patio breakfast. We let the host know that we needed an outdoor table for two with a dog, and we were set-up within 5 minutes. The outside dining area is a bit make-shift, right next to the parking lot (quite a few cars passed by our table close enough to take a drive-thru order, it seemed like). But it's really nice that they have that seating for parties with dogs, and there are sun umbrellas ready to go, in the rare event when it is needed. Our hostess brought out a freshly baked dog biscuit during our meal, letting us decide when to give it. Coffee ($3.50) was brought out immediately, and my wife said it was good mainly because it was fresh. It's a simple, two page menu and there were a lot of breakfast items I wanted to try (which isn't always the case). I ended up really enjoying the food, especially since Chace's offers some sampler platters. Greatest Hits ($16) - a small hash brown omelet (hbo), 2 link sausage (wife subbed it for thick cut bacon), and any one pancake (she chose buttermilk). All of it was solid, with the hbo coming with a bit of salsa (pretty sure it was Pace brand....not sure why more restaurants don't use this brand...I love it with my omelets). I got to sample the hbo, and it was really good...egg binding good hash browns, topped with melted american cheese. Joe Adams Assortment ($14.90) - four small sizes of their favorite pancakes: buttermilk, buckwheat, potato, and strawberry (more of a crepe). I loved the potato pancakes, with the buckwheat confirming that it's not my favorite. Service was very friendly, but a bit hit-or-miss (thinking because we were out in the patio). The check is brought out to you (hand written in that old diner style), and you can pay inside. We ended up really enjoying the food, especially since Chace's offers some sampler platters to try smaller samples of different things. We definitely know what to focus on next time (for me, the potato pancakes and the hbo).

    First time at Chace's, my friend said he grew up going here and it's one of his favorite places. My friend and I split the potato pancakes and the banana pancakes. Can't believe this was my first time! They even brought a small pancake for my dog shaped as a bone!

    If you're driving too fast, you'll probably miss it. This cute little place has a cozy diner vibe with quality customers service. The bacon was amazing! Small parking lot, carpool. Great prices. I would definitely come back.

    Swedish Pancakes

    Super inconspicuous but such a staple in Bellevue! Came in on a weekend and our group of 3 were seated immediately. Service is friendly and attentive but they do seem a bit short staffed. I had the Swedish pancakes with a side of hash browns, and really enjoyed both. The coffee was kind of a miss but I think the atmosphere of the small local diner experience makes up for it. Their pancakes are definitely one of a kind!

    Chace's Pancake Corral has been in Bellevue longer than most of the buildings that have taken over downtown Bellevue, making this old school joint an automatic win. There's something really charming about a place that has still remained and has not changed its façade even as Bellevue grows. I like that about Chace's and more. I can't believe I haven't been here before since it has been in Bellevue for several years along Bellevue Way. I've passed by it numerous times but just never made my way to this small establishment until recently when my colleagues wanted to celebrate National Pancake Day and I was like, I'm down! We came here for lunch on a Friday and the place was still bustling post-breakfast hours. The parking lot is small, so if it gets busy, it can be a little challenging. But once you're inside, it just reminds you of a classic diner that has all your breakfast favorites, with a variety of pancakes. For the six of us, we were able to be seated within five minutes. Our server was awesome; I wish I remembered her name. She was super friendly and my colleague mentioned that he came here one morning for breakfast right as it opened and she still had the same upbeat, positive attitude even when the sun hadn't risen yet. I love that. We told her that it was one of our colleagues' birthday the day we visited and she brought out a stack of mini pancakes with whipped cream, funfetti and a candle where the staff sang happy birthday. Best ambiance ever! I ordered the toasted coconut pancakes, but instead of flour, I asked for the buckwheat version, which they were able to substitute. The buckwheat pancakes were good on its own that you don't even need extra flavor like the toasted coconut flakes that came with and the coconut syrup. Stick with the classics for the buckwheat pancakes. But everyone enjoyed their stack of pancakes and what a fun way to celebrate National Pancake Day! I had a fun time here.

    Small place; parking is a challenge. Isle space is close at the back tables. Be prepared to be neighborly. Coffee was poured quickly upon seating but we sat for as much time as it took to drink 1/2 cup of hot coffee before the waiter came to the table. One-half of the menu is pancakes of various flavors and thy do not have any omelets-bummer. The black coffee tasted fresh and had a good flavor. I'd come back if a guest or family wanted to try this place but I would never be a regular or go out of my way to come here. Food was fresh and tasted good but not plentiful nor was the menu diverse in choice--sure 10 kinds of pancakes, French toast but NO omelettes. Choice of scrambled eggs or scrambled with cheese. $7.00 for two coffees is outrageous. Two 10 ounce mugs should cost no more than $2.50 each. The bill was $39 with one dish being simple pancakes for $10. Sure wish we had searched for a Denny's

    Banana Pancakes and Side Orders (hash browns)
    Candace W.

    Went here with friends for a casual brunch a bit ago and had an okay experience. The ambiance is very outdated and diner-like, which actually is part of its charm and rare to find now in Bellevue. The service was a little slow and awkward, not great, but not terrible. The food was decent. I had the blueberry pancake and it was fine, maybe a little dry. The hash browns were decent, but the sausage was super juicy and yummy! My friends thought their banana pancakes and strawberry pancake/crepe were decent. The crepe serving was a little small. I much prefer Waffle House than this breakfast to be honest. Overall: okay breakfast place in Bellevue which is unique for its old diner vibe but you could definitely get better brunch elsewhere.

    Great dining for simple, classic breakfast! Tons of pancakes choices, with french toast, crepes and classic eggs, sausage and bacon. Quant, historic Bellevue restaurant with attentive service and old school vibe.

    Hash Brown Omelette
    Mehak J.

    The location is perfect to walk/ hike around the Mercer slough trails before/ after. It is 5 minutes from the educational center nearby. The diner has an old school cozy vibe and is known for its pancakes. The staff was very accommodating and got their outdoor seating ready for us to sit with our dog. What we tried: 1. The strawberry pancake: these are crepes that come with their house made strawberry compote and whipped cream. A popular item and it is delicious! 2. Hashbrown omlette: thin crust of hashbrown crust, very flaky with an omelette in between and slightly melted American cheese slices on top. Comes with salsa, sour cream and a buttered English muffin. Very tasty! My husband also ordered their German sausage on the side and liked it. 3. Sourdough pancakes (not pictured): a medium stack of 3. Comes with maple syrup and a salty white whipped butter (so good!). I got the house made lingonberry compote with it. I had the pancakes with the compote and the salted white whipped butter - soo good! Sweet and tangy ( compote) and tiny bit salty with the butter. Enjoyed the combo! Bonus: they got doggy bone shaped pancakes for our dog! She gobbled it up before I could take a photo!! We sat outdoors and it was a mix of sunny and pleasant (with a jacket). Made for a perfect brunch for us! Excellent service

    I have been to this cafe before. Overall a pretty good spot for breakfast. I have an impression that they do pancakes better than other breakfast items. Their dollar pancakes are light and delicious. I also tried the hash brown omelette. Umm I think it was okayish. Not super impressed. Maybe I was expecting something else. This is one of the few places where I like hot chocolate. Very fast service and the places being always crowded explains its popularity.

    $17 for this was crazy. It was so bland, no flavor in sight.

I swear I could eat those every single day if I could. The combo silog was awesome too because you get a little bit of everything, so it's perfect if you wanna try multiple Filipino breakfast staples in one plate. The whole place just felt super homey and comforting. Service was exactly what you'd expect visiting a Filipino household: warm, welcoming, and genuine. You really feel taken care of here.

You order at the front before being seated which means food arrives shortly after sitting down. With that noted, I wouldn't return to wait that long. First visit, to try a relatively famous spot, sure. Inside is a bit tight, but conversation can be had. My friends got the lumpia-silog and bistek-silog. Lumpia was tasty, but not particularly outstanding. Bistek was dry. The beef was tough to chew, seasoned alright on the outside but likely overcooked if not old. I opted for the oxtail silog which was delicious but pricey. Oxtail Silog - for $29, this plate definitely gets a double take. After waiting in the hour line, I figured I should commit for a tasty meal. Oxtail comes in a side bowl alongside a bit of hearty broth which the rice absorbs well. Meat is tender, falls off the bone, but pulling around oxtail bones isn't the simplest, so definitely have to bite around crevices. All in all, this plate was delicious but think it comes with a huge tourist tax I've had better value for oxtail plates. Ube Pancake Stack - four sizeable pancakes. Some pictures, including my own, don't do these justice. I can definitely get behind the hype. They're drenched in a rich ube sauce and there's plenty to go around. Honestly the ube flavor is present on the pancakes, but it feels relatively faint because the sauce is extremely sweet and flavorful, minimizing the pancake taste and expanding the gap between flavors. That being said, I think I would enjoy the pancakes with less sauce (or preferably, on the side).

    Lil' Jon's Restaurant and Lounge is one of those places in Bellevue that's stuck around long before…read morethe high-rise towers and Californians came to play and settle here, which immediately makes this a win. There's something to be said about those classic businesses still intact in an ever-growing Bellevue, including Lil' Jon's. I can't believe it took me so long to make my way here, but actually, I can believe it since I hardly ever go out for breakfast, which this place primarily is known for - classic breakfast entrees. Sure, they have a lunch menu of sandwiches, soups and salads, but breakfast is what you come here for. My friends and I went to Lil' Jon's for breakfast on a Sunday morning and yes, the place was packed, especially since it was a few days after Christmas, so everyone was in town. For the four of us, we waited for about half an hour, which we didn't mind. They do have seats/a waiting area by the entrance. I ordered the biscuits and gravy dish and we all shared the cinnamon roll. We heard the cinnamon rolls are a must-try, and quite honestly, I think you can skip out on this. We were told when we ordered one around the late morning that we were taking one of the last ones as they sell out of these babies, so maybe that's why the cinnamon roll wasn't all that tasty as it wasn't warm and soft. It tasted like it was sitting out for awhile, and was not easy to cut through which is surprising since it's dough. But yeah, skip the cinnamon roll. If you have to try it for yourself, note that it's massive, so is easy to share. However, my biscuits and gravy were solid. I love country gravy, which there was a good amount of, especially on top of the soft-baked biscuits. I would've preferred the sausage in the gravy to have been ground pork sausage, which is normally how this is made, but the cut-up sausage links were fine. I like that you can also get eggs however you prefer, so poached for the win! Anyway, Lil' Jon's is a staple in Bellevue that all Bellevue residents should try at least once. Come here for the unlimited amounts of drip coffee, biscuits and gravy and the friendly staff. We had fun.
