I have always judged restaurant pancakes by The Pancake House's. Thin and tasty. That's why I found a recent breakfast disappointing. First off, we were not acknowledged by the staff when we walked thru the door. Debbie used to be a cook here and said that would not have been tolerated by the late owner. We got seats at the counter and had quick, friendly service as is the norm here. I had the meat omelet and Debbie had the bacon and eggs. Debbie's meal was great with her eggs cooked "perfectly". Poorly cooked eggs are her pet peeve so getting a perfectly cooked egg makes her happy. My omelet was great with enough meat inside to make my arteries harden just looking at it. Now for my big DISAPPOINTMENT: I found the pancakes to be "rubbery". They were also thicker than I remember. Wasn't happy with them at all. While we will be back, I will not be ordering the pancakes. End of an era I guess...... read more

Breakfast may be great, but not lunch. I went there at noon and had the hamburger steak. The truth..puny and tasteless. Good service, coleslaw, and salad gets this to 2 star. But I am sure better lunch options here. read more

Best breakfast spot in town ! I love that they have all the classic breakfasts ! Corned beef hash is the best !

Easily the best breakfast place in the Kelso/Longview area. Be prepared to wait. I don't think we've ever gone there and were seated immediately. BUT...it's SO worth the wait. The pancakes are perfect. The Eggs Benedict are incredible. Everything we've ever had there is wonderful. The kids have had lunch items there also and were always happy. Service is the best. They are always busy but there's a reason they're busy! P.S. My husband was a bit upset when I said they only had a 4.5-star rating. He said it should be a 6. ;) read more

While coming back from Vancouver we were trying to figure out a good place for breakfast and stumbled upon this place. SO glad we did. I had the biscuits and gravy and I have searched far and wide to find better ones than at the Fog cutter cafe in Westport. These were just as good! The place was packed on a Sunday morning and I see why! Good down home cooking and awesome prices. We were a little Leary of going to a hometown place because most of the time they don't take a liking to "non regulars". The waitress was super nice. My husband had an omelet and it was packed with meat. He also had some sourdough pancakes and raved about them. We will be back again! read more

Every time I walk in I always feel like a little kid again. The staff were and still are amazing and friendly, they really make you feel like family. My boyfriend had never been and he absolutely loved it. I'll definitely have to call in an order soon read more

Really good hot chocolate, but I had the Monte cristo that had a lot of American cheese on it. There should not be that much American cheese on one sandwich. read more

Pancake House - Hot chocolate - American Near Me - Longview, Washington

A true classic. Been going here since I was a kid as has everyone from around here. Hands down best breakfast restaurant around.

The best breakfast in Longview, WA hands down. Don't come here for anything else...GET BREAKFAST! It isn't greasy spoon the coffee is decent and the prices don't break the bank. Top that off with the waitresses who are always nice and attentive and it adds up to a great overall experience. Plus if you like snarky rustic decor this is a mecca for you. Note: Be warned this place is really popular and during peak hours you WILL be waiting. read more

I went to the pancake house the other day for breakfast. The menu offered quite a few choices and the prices were great! We did have to wait about 5 minutes for a table, but for a Sunday brunch after church let out.. thats not too bad! The service was pretty good. I liked how it was a team environment there. We didn't have to wait for "our" server, everyone helped each other out. I have no complaints about the food. For the price its pretty good! Plus how can you screw up breakfast food? read more

This is my favorite breakfast joint. Need I say more? The All American is the perfect meal. Want a cup of coffee? You'll never dry with their great service! read more

Great place for brunch. Be ready for a wait as it is crowded. Food is good with nice size portions. Takes a little time to get your food but worth the wait. My wife really liked the sweet potato pancakes. read more

First of all, as greasy spoons go, this one is top notch. Really quaint and cute with friendly service. They have all kinds of pancakes: buttermilk, sourdough, buckwheat, sweet potato, dollar. I ordered the sourdough which were nice, thin and sour. I like my pancakes with a little crust and these were spongy. They are huge!!! The eggs were cooked perfectly but my husbands hashbrowns were a little limp. My daughter ordered A BLT which looked good but the fries were the frosen crinkly type. This a a place for big appetites. I could only eat one of my pancakes (in addition of one egg and I stole a bacon strip from my husband's plate which had four big strips) all in all, this is a cute place to stop by. read more

The best place for breakfast in Longview. The pancakes are huge and fluffy and wonderful. You can't get any better than this, guaranteed. Pancake house is a staple to Longview and it's been around for years. They close at 1:30 and they are always busy. They are not just a breakfast joint either. They also serve lunch with homemade soups and awesome sandwiches. The waitresses are top notch and the service is impeccable. read more

When a breakfast joint is busy on any given morning, during any given hour, filled with people from all walks of life, it's got to be good. And that's the case with the Pancake House. The place is down-home goodness. The location is a very small building, packed with bustling waitresses and hungry loggers, but it's been there forever, and it'll probably be there forever. The food is great, and it's been a place I bring my family when the come from out of town. What my husband and I really enjoy is that the waitresses understand that some people just HAVE to have peanut butter with their pancakes or waffles. They don't look at us funny when we ask for some, and they've always got it available. Denny's doesn't even have peanut butter available. If you want a great meal served by friendly waitresses, and all for a decent price, then head on over to Pancake House. You won't be disappointed. :-) read more

Very good breakfast, especially for the price. I had the mixed berry roll-ups and hot cider and both were great. The service is friendly and fast. I do recommend this restaurant for its reasonable, fast, and very good breakfast. read more

This is the only place I will eat pancakes. I love their chocolate chip pancakes. Expect to wait, but it will be worth it.

The boyfriend and I decided to drop by for breakfast on our way up to Seattle since I'm a huge lover of breakfast! We arrived at around 10:30 on Saturday morning, and were immediately seated. Looking around The Pancake House, you can tell that it was a popular spot among locals. As it is such, I should've anticipated the slow service, but I'm really not used to all of the wait. For example, after looking over the menu and placing it down (universal signal for "We're ready!") for at least 5 - 10 minutes, a hostess finally came to reassure us that someone would soon be with us. Don't ask how long it took to get our food or check. Now to the food - the boyfriend ordered the Denver omelette and I ordered the strawberry roll-up pancakes. Simply put, both were delicious, but nothing out of the ordinary. If you're looking for a spot to leisurely eat breakfast, this is your spot. If you're looking for the yummiest breakfast ever, this is not your spot. read more

Good old local breakfast vibe. Ordered ham and eggs,simple,yet classic breakfast.The eggs were cooked over medium like I ordered,the hasbrowns are the best I've had in years,and the Sourdough was awesome.I totally recommend this place if you are a breakfast person. read more

I recently moved here to the Longview area and of course I've been trying out all the local spots. DBF and I have been here twice now, both times there was a line but the breakfast was SO good! Both times I had the Chicken Fried Steak w/hashbrowns and eggs over easy, DBF had an omelet with a pancake both times. The coffee isn't good, it's bitter. The food is great though! Be prepared to wait a little in line though, especially on the weekend but it's worth it, we will be back again and again and again! nom nom nom read more

great atmosphere and good food done here, and they respect the customer. unlike the toyland auto repair shop, in longview washington that commits false advertising, shoddy work, fraudulant labor charges, theft of parts, and despicable customer service. read more

When we went this place was super busy. The staff is very friendly and on top of checking in your meal. It has a very cute local feel (many of the other patrons were greeted by name). The food was decent but not amazing. read more

Always a good place to stop have the Apple P con crapes excellent Ask for powdered coffee made if you don't want to use cream in the coffee Saw that for the first time on the counter Thanks to Kaitlyn and Cheyenne great service as always read more

This is the BEST place to get breakfast in town! I never go anywhere else. Always excellent service. The wait staff is amazing, very kid friendly restaurant. It's first come, first serve-so there can be a little wait for a table at peak times, but it's worth it! Food is always excellent and comes out quickly! read more

Great service the waitress was very nice and very polite and great food the pancakes were so good says my 3 year old

Horrible tasting food. Good if you like things straight from the freezer of the dollar store.

Farmhouse Salad was amazing!!! Such good food, fast getting you seated, and fast getting food to you. Friendly workers.

Got in here before it got really busy. The sweet cream pancakes were pretty good. And the biscuit and gravy was good also. It was thick bacon and not the paper thin kind. Service was friendly and quick. Good breakfast place in Longview as long as you get here before the line shows up. read more

We didn't care for it. Maybe if we had gotten breakfast we would have liked it, but their lunch wasn't any good. Took 30 mins to receive 2 sandwiches. Fries were dry and both sandwiches were very mediocre. We were just passing through so we wouldn't have been back either way. read more

The highlight of my meal was the hash browns. I had high hopes for the Chili Relleno omelet but the taste of onions was overpowering. Good coffee and service. I will try it again. read more

This place has the best breakfast options I think I've ever had at a restaurant. I usually get the Omelet with a side of hashbrowns. The hashbrowns are superb! I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The staff is friendly and quick! Great place to take kids, they are welcoming and have cute little toys to keep them occupied. Pancakes and sweet cream rolls up are hard to beat! read more

Best place to go for breakfast in town! Prices are very reasonable, portions are rather large, and I gotta say, they have some of the best omelets I've had (I recommend the seafood omelette. It has REAL fresh seafood in it, not frozen stuff bought at the store!). Staff is always very friendly, and courteous. Best times to go are very early in the morning when they first open. More seats are open around then. Will continue to support this locally owned business until the day they close their doors! (Which hopefully won't ever happen) read more

We were in Longview for a wedding in October and were told this was the classic local breakfast place with tasty food. They were right! My fluffy, fresh blueberry pancakes were full of berries. My husband had the lingonberry crepes and he enjoyed them. Be prepared to wait, since everything is made to order. Reasonable prices. read more

My usual go to place for a business breakfast meeting. Open good and early so you can have a meeting and get on with your day. I am on a low cab diet. They were accommodating with my request for no hash browns or toast and substituted sliced tomato and cottage cheese instead. Thank you very much! read more

Picked up a couple Monte Cristos for a picnic at Willow Grove. It was cheesy deliciousness. Their onion rings are really good as well.

I grew up here in Longview. Came home from California. Every time I try to stop here for breakfast. Took my Mom for breakfast. Awesome service and food! Large portions and as, always fresh. Had the chicken fried steak and eggs, she had the Denver Omelet. She loved it and my only find was that the chicken fried steak was a frozen steak. But, it was still cooked perfectly and tasted great! Highly recommend the Pancake House. Will continue to return when I'm home! read more

A colleague and I found ourselves in the decidedly unexotic burg of Longview on business for a week. Our first day necessitated an early arrival (before 7 AM) at the office and the Pancake House was one of the only places open at that time on a Monday. We made a mistake in not coming back there on Tuesday, opting to dine in our hotel that day and living to regret it. We ended up coming back here for breakfast on Wednesday and Thursday and there is nothing on the menu I wouldn't recommend. The pancakes are unbelievable (you'd think, given the name of the place), and every omelet is a hit. Bravo! read more

Great for gamily breakfast!!! Gets busy on the weekends with the regulars so come early!

Huge variety of pancakes and waffles. Ladies work hard to get you your food ASAP. Restaurant is always packed. Their sweet cream pancakes are so good. read more
