03/20/26 - Masters Pancake House is located on Cicero Ave south of of I-55 on the way to Midway Airport. I've driven by Masters Pancake House on numerous occasions. Today I finally stopped into a packed house @ around 2pm. They have a nice selection of breakfast & lunch items. I'm partial to skillets. Today I ordered the Mexican skillet w/chorizo, onions, peppers, mozzarella cheese, extra crispy hash browns & 2 eggs over easy. The food was cooked to perfection the way I ordered it but the chorizo added a little too much salt to the dish for my taste (my fault for ordering the chorizo). My server was awesome & offered excellent service coming back several times to see if I needed anything else. read more

It's Christmastime and my buddy and I were trying to find a place we could go nearby to eat and open each other's gifts like we do every year. We decided to try here on the morning of 12/22/25. We walk in and you can see the kitchen is very busy. It was a pretty good amount of people dining inside and people were constantly coming in and out which is a good sign. We were seated and immediately taken care of by a friendly waitress. We didn't have to wait long for our food at all which was GREAT as we were both hungry. My buddy had the apple pancakes (apples on the side) that comes with eggs, crispy bacon and pancakes. I had the corned beef hash skillet with 2 pancakes. The food was plentiful and delicious! I had so much food, I was able to have the leftovers again for a breakfast meal the next day. I look forward to coming back here. Very clean establishment and they work very hard here. They don't give you a time limit on your visit there or try to rush you out which I appreciate. Thank you Masters Pancake House - you made our gift exchange a bright one. read more

First time here. Breakfast and lunch was great! Eggs, meat, pancakes, soup and tuna sandwich. Excellent server. Our coffee cups were never empty. And coffee tasted great! We will definitely return. read more

Pancakes were great and the staff was friendly and quick. Great little breakfast stop on my way to Midway Airport.

We were in town on a business trip and looking for a good breakfast by Midway airport. Well, the reviews led us here and didn't let us down. This is a simple mom n pop restaurant and we felt at home when we walked in. Simple folks enjoying their breakfasts and staff that was very friendly. I opted for the 3 egg meat plate and that included the French toast. A nominal charge for the blueberries. I loved it all. The polish sausage though was AWESOME . The flavor was nothing like I've ever had and so genuine. I could eat a whole plate of that. All this and a very reasonable price. This will be my breakfast go to when flying out of Midway! read more

Very close to midway. Fast friendly service. Huge portions. If you have a morning flight and don't want to spend an arm and a leg for mediocre airport food. I recommend this spot. Food is good. Worth the trip. read more

We were starving after we landed at Midway Airport and saw that Masters Pancake House was close and had great reviews. There was plenty of free parking in the front, which was a huge plus in Chicago. The service was great--we were greeted and sat right away. The server came over immediately with water and coffee. I think we got our food delivered to the table less than 10 minutes after we ordered. The portions were HUGE. My omelet was amazing and overflowing with veggies and ham. My husband's hash was perfectly cooked and his eggs were just the way he liked them. I would definitely recommend Masters Pancake House! read more

Came here after the gym and will say it's a must. The service is good, bilingual which is a plus in my book. The menu had a good amount of options but I went with the Mexican skillet and couldn't pass up the tres leche churro French toast. All were amazing! But the whole vibe of the place was welcoming for myself and other customers coming and going. 4/5 read more

I politely asked them for a hot sauce through Uber eats on the note and they quietly charge me $1.50? Fuck this place. They are cheap bastards. Be careful what you put on the note ordering Uber Eats they will nickel and dime you! read more

The food was lovely, and incredibly flavorful and filling for the price. I was honestly shocked to see a place in Chicago this cheap and this decent, the interior is also quite pretty. Waiter was also super sweet! Stopped by multiple times to refill drinks, and just check in. read more

I forgot to review this whole in the wall breakfast restaurant when I was in Chicago but looking at my pictures it was definitely a memorable meal. We were looking for areal diner in the midway area and came across masters. The staff was friendly and the menu was hearty. It was busy in there for a random Thursday, we came towards the end of breakfast. It did take a while for the food to come out but once out everything was great. They refilled the coffee cups often, which is nice. Overall nice experience and everyone said their food was good. read more

Hey fellow Yelp users! I went to Masters Pancake House on 7/05/24 (Friday) for brunch. This was my first time coming here and I was so excited. I came at a perfect time (a little before 11 am) and I was able to get a table with no wait. Around 11 am, it started to get a little busy and some people had to wait for a table. Food: The food was really good. I was indecisive because they had so many great options to choose from. I was debating between the Two by Two or the Cinnamon Swirl Platter. I ended up getting the Cinnamon Swirl Platter (2 eggs, 3 cinnamon French toast, & choice of 3 bacon or sausage). I would definitely get it again. Atmosphere: I loved the atmosphere. It gives me old school diner vibes. I love me a good mom & pop restaurant. Customer Service: I thought the customer service was absolutely great. All the waiters I came across were very polite and were very attentive in refilling drinks which is awesome. Parking: It's located in a small plaza with a nail salon and a few other businesses. When I arrived, I found plenty of parking. I can assume & would say parking is hit or miss on a busy day. Overall Experience: Overall, I had a great experience at Masters Pancake House. The food was really good, the prices were very affordable, and the customer service was really great. It's definitely a breakfast/brunch spot and closes early. I would highly recommend this place if you're craving breakfast food. I hope this review helps Masters Pancake House & its current and future customers. Have an amazing day! read more

The food was excellent. The egg was a little well done for my taste, and I hate folded eggs. Other than that, it was delicious. The. The waffle sandwich was half a waffle; I missed that part. I would have liked a whole waffle with the eggs and bacon. All my food needed additional seasonings. I had to add salt and pepper for taste to the egg, and potatoes. The bacon was what I call paper thin, in the future ill order a side of bacon. The service was attentive and very welcoming. The space is awesome. A good spot to meet and chat while having a great meal. I do recommend this spot. If you are on your way to midway Airport, its perfect for a quick bite leaving or returning. read more

Masters Pancake House - Waffle Sandwich - Pancakes Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

i have nothing against the food, i simply have to leave a bad review due to the way this place ruined by 11th birthday. the waitress messed up my order that day and my parents turned it into a whole lecture about how i should've spoken louder and how embarrassing it is that i couldn't order my food properly yet. i started crying and we had to leave early, i got no present and stayed in my room sobbing and playing video games the rest of the day. if that waitress never messed up my order (trust me i know i spoke very clearly), i would've had a great 11th birthday. to the asian lady with a chinese accent that served my table that day on july 8th, i hope you're happy to have contributed to my trauma. read more

Diner with a good home-feel food touch. We tried a meat lovers skillet, which was a good amount and very flavorful. We also tried the crepes, and they were very savory, just the right amount of sweetness. Service was fast. I'd recommend. read more

I'm here at Master's Pancake House 5265 S Cicero, Chicago, IL not far from midway airport trying something different and out of my area. The customer service was amazing the food was ok.. I had three eggs over easy, hashbrowns, a ribeye medium well and French toast. The ribeye was not seasoned that well but it was tender. My hashbrowns were a bit darker than I prefer and not seasoned as well.. The French Toast was just ok.. they have a Friday French Toast special and a Wednesday Waffle special. I'm not mad at it but I was not really impressed by the food.. It's really cute in here and the customer service was exceptional.. I ate the food I just wasn't really impressed.. The portions were nice and if on the way to the airport and there is time I would try it again. But I wouldn't make this a first choice. read more

The thick French toast and eggs were great. The sausage was good but could've been cooked longer. I ended sitting at the bar because the table wait times were 25-30 minutes but I didn't mind. It's a diner-esqe feel. The servers were nice and helpful. I would definitely go back read more

Easy to order through Yelp. Order was ready on time but the food was not very good. Service was friendly and quick. Restaurant was clean and well lit. Ordered cinnamon roll French toast. Tasted old, and dry. Hashbrowns were the worse I've ever had. Looked like mashed up rice with a couple browned bits here and there. It looked like someone chopped up and cut up the hash browns into little pieces on the griddle. Majority of the hash brown order was not toasted and lightly brown but all white. Tasted like steam unseasoned potato bits. read more

Forget those massive breakfast food chains like iHop and Denny's. The food was amazing, they have so many breakfast options and the staff were all so helpful and nice. I would especially like to highlight their coffee guy, I didn't get his name but he is an older mexican gentleman. He was very friendly and talkative, and he always made sure our cup of coffee was full! Overall, all the staff were great, everyone made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The space itself is very clean and calm. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a new, local breakfast spot. read more

Visited February 2022 Big selection of American breakfast and also Latino dishes - so you have the best of both world! Service was great & we were taken care of very well despite the brunch rush. They check COVID vaccination card upon arrival and then seat you. They have plexiglass between booths as a COVID precaution which I appreciated very much. Tables are clean. -- Grande selección de desayuno y almuerzo Mexicano y Americano. Hay para toda la familia! Muy buen servicio a pesar de que estaban ocupados. Al llegar te piden el comprobante de vacunación contra COVID. Entre las mesas tienen plexiglas para dividir los grupos como precaución de COVID. Las mesas estaban limpias. read more

We just left Midway Airport. We saw this pancake house. So we decided to stop. So glad we did. Very good food and the portion sizes are huge. Definitely didn't leave hungry. The staff were very nice, and the owner thanked us for coming in. If you're in that area and it's breakfast time and you're hungry it's definitely worth a stop. I noticed on the backside of the menu is Mexican food. read more

They weren't able accommodate a family of 8 they literally divided the family in two different tables. A business should NEVER offer to split a family. However the food was ok and the only reason why im putting 4 stars is due to an employee named Jose he was the only employee that was welcoming and very nice, very attentive and went out of his way to do the waitress job because she was no where to be found. We truly thank him for making us laugh and making this experience better. read more

First time here and I WILL DEFINITELY be back! The food was amazing! Quick and efficient service! Fantastic atmosphere. The coffee is so good and the bussers are really good about top offs. Fresh food, quick and attentive service all around. In this visit, we were surprised by a plate of strawberry french toast on the house from the very kind owner, Peter! He was very friendly and told us about the restaurant and the employees. I can't believe he took the time to chat with us! That's never happened before in any establishment I've been in. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. read more

Walkable to airport and easy parking. Yummy pancakes, good coffee, large portions and variety of options. I went a weekday morning and it was busy but not packed, I sat at the counter. They have root beer floats and milkshakes! Local favorite. Attentive fast service but they did not rush me out, I was there more than an hour. No wifi but space for your own table if you had a hot spot and wanted to stay a while. Mexican breakfast options and American soup and sandwiches/typical diner. Delivery by Doordash. Per staff-Open 42 years and committed to fresh prep and ingredients. Everyone loves the pancakes! I didn't get many pics but will add more the next time I come. Prob a 10 minute walk to airport and train, honestly you could Uber as well if you had kids or didn't want to walk. There is space inside for seating and suitcases, don't be shy to bring them in! Super clean establishment. read more

Their food is fabulous. I had the Vinny a! I can't wait to come to Chicago and have it again.

Took a really long time just for the food to taste bland. Food tastes like something you could make yourself at home. Maybe I'll try something else on the menu but definitely not anytime soon. read more

Easy casual stop for Breakfast if you're on the way to or around Midway airport. All the classic breakfast options are there, and some cool things like crepes and sandos. The service is quick. The staff is pretty nice too. I try and stick with the basics here, some bacon, some eggs, and some toast. read more
