The ambiance was more of a mom and pop shop. My family and I wanted a nice breakfast and didn't want the fake iHop feel. We ran across this place on Apple Maps. The parking lot was packed! We walked in and shared a table with another family that was waiting. You have to order your food at the counter and wait. We decided to eat in. We ordered an omelet with hash browns, cheesy grits, 3 ordered of pancakes, 2 eggs with 4 orders of bacon. I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone enjoyed their food from the pregnant mom to the picky toddler. My husband said the omelette was nice and fluffy and filled well. With drinks, this ran us about $68. I will be returning. read more

Talk about bad food. This place use to be good several years ago but those days are long gone. A completely different look on the inside. Gone are the blue walls and no more of the carry out feel. I remember this place had some of best bacon but you can tell the quality of food has gone out the window. I walked in and was greeted by a guy taking orders. His customer service skills were good. That was the only reason for the 2 stars. I ordered the wings and waffle, Belgian waffle and breakfast platter along with 2 drinks for $42 bucks. Not too bad. We sat at a table and the food came. Once again, the guy at the counter was great. He made sure to bring over our waffles while they were hot. That was the only part of the food that was good/decent, hence the second star. The rest is poor quality and belongs in the trash. The eggs were not real and god awful. The 8 wingettes came straight out of a freezer bag/ air fryer. TRASH. The bacon was fresh out of the microwave. I'll never ever come back. The food is that bad. If there was anyone standing outside needing food I would have happily given it to them. This place has fallen off a cliff hence the empty parking lot. It is a hard no for me. read more

The ambiance is not good at all. Pancakes made from Aunt Jemina (I forget new name). They were ok but not the worst I've had.I ordered mine with banana which added flavor but didn't get enough. My bacon was crispy but not hot off the grill. It was ok They serve Dole Orange Juice which was absolutely terrible. Definitely worth passing on. The food is served in take out containers even when dining in. Ummmmm. read more

It's been a while since I've last been to the Pancake House. I decided to come here off the random to introduce my friend to a place that I thought was pretty good since there is no Waffle House around. It seems that there's been a lot of changes that have happened for the worst. I used to go here before the COVID pandemic happened. From what I saw, it has been massively downgraded to just a pickup and carry out place. They let people "dine in" as well, but we had to eat out of the clear plastic to go containers instead of actual dining silverware cups and plates. I think it is safe to assume that these changes happened due to the COVID pandemic (they may have been impacted pretty harshly) because it certainly was more lively and more of a sit-down dining restaurant before I came in today. I see that they did change the name of this specific location to "family breakfast and take out" but even if it was a family breakfast, how will people sit down and eat if everyone's eating out of plastic containers instead of real plates, etc? Nothing feels familial about that. I do fault myself for not reading the reviews before coming here. I was very disappointed to see these types of changes, and I honestly don't understand the point of letting people dine in with the restaurant when there's no silverware or plates + cups or even glassware. You will see pictured our food in the plastic to-go containers. Unfortunately, I don't think I will return again due to the changes that happened. I believe if I dined in a restaurant, I would like to have the typical silverware and ceramic plates and mugs instead of eating out of strictly plastic to-go containers. Most of the tables were dirty, too. While affordable, the food was pretty okay but nothing to write home to. Some items certainly needed salt & pepper. I do hope things improve for the better for them or at least get back to normal, but until then, I don't think I will return. I may just go to another location to actually does give people real silverware and ceramic plates, glass cups, etc., to eat out of when they dine in. read more

I ordered a traditional breakfast. Bacon, eggs and grits. Very satisfied with the 6 slices of bacon. Everything was a la cart. The service was pretty good. Our food came out pretty fast. The atmosphere was cool. It was clean. read more

Pancake House - Bacon, eggs and grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

Growing up, I would come to the pancake house also every weekend with my dad for breakfast. The experience was a true part of my childhood and when I hear they were still open after a brief closing during the beginning of the pandemic, I was excited to go back. While things have definitely change, one things thing - good food and great service. So for that, I feel that they still deserve their stars. The facilities have changed greatly, as it's clear that business has probably slowed down post-pandemic. I originally came with the idea to dine in, but giving the limited seating, I decided to take my food to go since I was so close. The tables also could have been a bit cleaner, so that was a factor as well. The staff were super-friendly and my food came within 5-10 mins of ordering. Everything was still pretty warm or hot when I got back to my room, with the exception of the eggs but we know how that goes. Everything was delicious and fresh, which is always won for me. Overall, while its not the place I knew as a kid, it's still a great spot for a quick breakfast! read more

Pancake House - Turkey bacon & sausage Omelet with has browns and toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

I was looking for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised, because from the outside I must be honest I was hesitant. It seems this place has not been opened long, but the service was excellent! I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches "my way" and the order taker was so accommodating with making sure my order was correct. I took a seat and it must have been less that 10 minutes and my food was ready! I didn't take a bite until I reached my destination, but when I did..let's just say the cook understood the assignment! If you are on Annapolis Road...stop in and grab a bite. read more

Im on a mission to find the best French toast. I like that their French toast wasn't too "eggy." They provided the powdered sugar on the side. I love powdered sugar and some people can be stingy with it. Haha. I like that they basically gave you the option to choose the amount of sugar you'd like on your French toast. The chicken wings were fried to perfection. I went for the French toast but the wings honestly stole the show. My cousin in Louisiana loves chicken wings fried hard. I immediately thought of her. I sent her a picture and said I know where I'm taking you when you visit. I definitely plan on going again I'm thinking I'll try the pancakes next time and make sure to include the chicken. read more

The plain grits, hash browns cooked w/o butter , and toast were a perfect choice for a quick breakfast meal. The service was fast and accurate no mistakes on my list of "don't(s)".

Food, service and atmosphere I fount to rather relaxing just home forest and everybody enjoying good food.

Sooooo good. So surprisingly good. Despite being hood adjacent. Open early af. Them eggs I be dreaming about. Also had the pancake, chicken wings and hash browns. We sat inside and if you're looking for a hole in the wall diner--this is worse. Which means the food is good lol read more

As soon as my wife discovered the existence of this breakfast/brunch/lunch diner in our neck of the woods, on Annapolis Road in Lanham, Maryland, we set out like Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby Doo seeking a local haunt to celebrate their solving of the very latest faux supernatural crime. And similar to the aptly named Barnacle's Beanerie, Cap'n Fatty's Rib Ranch, Voltaire's Pizza in a Cup, and Leprecarbs, the Pancake House's menu conjures calorie-filled breakfast delights that Shaggy and Scooby Doo would scream for. Today alone, we tried the Western Omelette, banana pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, and a number 10 omelette with bacon, sausage, onions, green peppers, and cheese. The only thing missing from our first experience was our own German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix dancing with a rubber Neanderthal costume afterwards! read more

The one star is for the effort. I compare this to the old man that has lost most of his hair and wears a combover. He really needs to LET IT GO! But refuses to concede! For those of us from the area, we remember a Pancake House that was the spot to go on the weekend for a decent breakfast you didn't have to cook. Today, the PH is a dump that has a leaking roof which causes 1/4 of the seats to be unavailable. While here, buckets were on the floor to catch the water, picture fell from the wall and the most important thing...THE FOOD WAS SUBPAR at best. PH - do us all a big favor and close down for renovations and remodeling. read more

So, I visited this location today. The restaurant has made efforts to address many of customer's concerns (or maybe they were required to by the health department).

Best banana pancakes I have ever had! Good bacon, friendly staff and great prices! Sausage burrito was good too; the sausage had a kind of maple flavor which was really nice! read more

This place is the real deal for breakfast. It's always bustling, but I don't usually have a problem getting a table. There are no frills, just solid breakfast fare. You come in, seat yourself and someone will come around to give you a menu and take your drink order. I almost always order coffee. It's decent and they give you flavored creamer (#winning). My typical order consists of scrambled eggs, sausage links and pancakes. I love that they only use shelled eggs. And they are willing to make adjustments for smaller appetites by making my pancakes smaller than the usual plate size. I can never eat that much. The pancakes are nicely browned but not burnt and there is plenty of butter and syrup. This "square deal" costs me $8 with unlimited coffee refills. The staff is professional and courteous, but they can be alittle inattentive when it's busy. However, I find myself frequenting this place often. read more

Carry out food for a sit down price Everything is packaged to go. Plastic silverware, boxes Pretty generous with condiments, but it's still a carry out experience 2 pancakes, 2 eggs and bacon was over $14. No potatoes or toast even Drinks are bottled, so no refills and limited choice for some of us Good quality was acceptable but nothing special read more

Haven't left a review in quite a while. But I thought this place warranted one. It's an unassuming building set off the side of the road with a small sign. You walk in and like others have said it's basic real basic. I continued to the make shift counter because the photos on their Yelp looked good and I'll give anyone a chance. I cannot speak to before the pandemic but currently if you order in your food is still packed to go. Ok So I don't think I've had food in a takeout container this good in some time. I had an egg white omelette with ham and cheese and a side of sausage links. The food was fresh, the hash browns light and airy, the ham was not processed but thick cubed country ham. Even the breakfast sausage was really good. Everything was cooked to perfection mind uou I'm eating out of a container and I can see and taste this. Everyone here was polite and efficient. I'm torn with the ambiance, on one hand I would love this place to be remodeled and it would be more successful. On the other hand I didn't mind the current situation one bit. read more

It saddens me to say that breakfast was bad. I am a Chef and breakfast is the one meal most get right. I had to purchase my food before I was allowed to sit in restaurant. The food was placed in styrofoam containers which make the food sweat and it can also get into the food. I will not be returning as my first experience wasn't great. My friend never got the fries with her sandwich either. Customer service is important. We weren't even greeted with a smile. read more

I ordered blueberry pancakes, grits and homefries, via delivery. The pancakes tasted like rubber and lacked butter & syrup. The grits tasted like hominy and water. The homefries were good, but the product was not homefries and rather, fried potatoes (a little different). I won't be patronizing this restaurant again. read more

There is no where to get breakfast in this area, according to Yelp and we were in a pickle to grab something to eat and make our appointment. Husband wasn't too happy, and if there was ANY where else to go, we would have left. Dirtier and more run down than Denny's. Very friendly staff, but the patrons are sketchy! No exaggeration. I think there were drug deals and meet ups in the parking lot. Every vehicle was backed in, and people kept staring at us, like we were being sized up. It was very uncomfortable. We ate and ran, watching for people to follow us out the door. So strange for a Monday morning. The food was ok. You can see right into the kitchen and tell that it wasn't the cleanest. There were a couple visitors that got up, went behind the counter and helped themselves to the drink fountain. They weren't the most sanitary people either. I would skip this place. Find a Starbucks or fast food drive thru. The food is okay but super sketchy and not clean. read more

Don't let the exterior, especially the entrance, scare you away. This place leaves a lot to be desired in terms of curb appeal, but the food is SOLID. Delicious, fresh, perfectly seasoned. Quiet and clean interior, since most folks do take out (you order from the counter, and get plastic containers, etc.). Locals seem to know about this place as it got busy as the Sunday morning crowds filled in. We used it as a halfway stop between DC and Annapolis - and definitely will repeat this on our next excursion! :) read more

The first time I went I got a stack of banana pancakes and a side of scrambled eggs. Those pancakes were the truth! I don't really like pancakes that much because they're always a little too firm for my liking but Pancake House definitely has the recipe down!
