These guys seem to be popular they were close to our hotel so we decided to come check them out. Wait times was 10-15 minutes, not bad once seated we started with Coffee & Iced tea, not bad. On the food tried the Very berry & Apple pie pancakes , very berry were just wow so nice & fluffy these pancakes were delicious . Apple pie is a great twist very good as well, the added ice cream was just right & elevates the taste. Also had a side of Corned beef hash, it was not bad but a bit salty. Very busy location, nice & home like decor, our waitress was very nice & attentive. Prices are very reasonable, for sure I'd say some of the best pancakes I've ever had this was worth the visit.

With a Pancake Festival, Williamsburg makes the claim to have the most pancake houses within the…read moresmallest per capita in the country. There are many, but this one is among the closest to Colonial Williamsburg. It's a classic pancake house with a large parking lot, country decorations, bad coffee, and lots of pancakes. From the moment I sat in the booth, my server was excellent! Within minutes, I had a stack of two large chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream at my table. It was good, but it's hard to mess up pancakes.

The menu tells you exactly what you're getting and that's exactly what comes out and they execute it very well. Good portions, great prices, greater food.

They also have one side of the building designated for take out. I really enjoyed my time here and loved that the waitress offered me a coffee to go as I paid the check.

Let me start off by saying the service and ambiance were amazing. It was like a 90s retro dinner theme and we got our food hot in less than 10 minutes. We both ordered the Cinna-Swirl Pancake and when I sya it melts in your mouth i mean it. it also has a nice soft fluffy interior and a slightly crunchy crust outside. I never had a pancake like this, but it was wonderful. We also got the steak and cheese with fries. For a pancake place it was suprisingly really good, im not gonna say it was the best i ever had but it was definitely filling and tasty as well.

What better way to relax on a day off after Thanksgiving than head out for a breakfast meal…read more Sophia and I headed here which wasn't fully packed. Great for the both of us. Let's see how the visit turned out. The diner was half packed but staff were busy. The decor was pretty cool and the restaurant was clean. Not bad at all. After we got seated, we were ready to order within minutes. Both of us ordered the country fried steak meal with hash browns and eggs (mine was scrambled and Sophia's was fried hard) along with coffee. It was delicious and filling. The gravy was just the right amount and the amount of food was just enough. It could've used some seasoning, but luckily we had salt and pepper at our table to add. Truly a meal to start our Friday. This spot will definitely be a repeat for us down the road. Till next time :)

The fried chicken portion was huge - half a chicken basically. It was seasoned well (maybe a bit too salty but went well with turnip greens which weren't seasoned as well).
