I've been to this location a few times but this was the first time I sat inside. The outdoor seating is really nice but all the tables were taken so we sat indoors this time. For a Saturday morning it wasn't too busy inside we were seated immediately. I decided to get the works potato cakes since I've never had those before. The food came out very fast and everything was really good. My personal preference I would've gotten a different flavor of potato cakes instead of the works because I didn't really like the chicken in it but the rest was good. Would definitely come back to this location again. read more

PJ's Pancake House - Potato cakes - American Near Me - West Windsor, New Jersey

When it comes to breakfast food (and that's primarily what I order here, regardless of time of day), PJ's hits the mark. Everything from their omelette, to the Benedicts, and even the slightly more eclectic Shakshuka offering, is all delicious! And, that potato hash that comes with some of the breakfast options is amazing! When you think PJ's, you obviously think pancakes. And their pancakes are good. PJ's offers you an eclectic variety in pancakes that you won't find elsewhere. Everything from chocolate chip, buckwheat, spicy apple, banana pecan, Tiramisu to potato pancakes. I have tried several. My favorites are the banana pecan and the chocolate chip. When the occasional pancake craving or breakfast/brunch food hits, head to PJ's, but definitely expect a wait on the weekends. I've been to this location of PJ's Pancake House several times. My experience with their food and service has been consistently positive. This location tends to be less crowded than its Nassau Street counterpart. They have outdoor dining and take out! read more

We visited twice on this visit to NJ. Easy to walk in and get seated on Friday but 30+ minute wait on Saturday. Still wishing they took reservations... Got same thing both days - western omelet sans onion, side of fruit and whole wheat toast. The omelet was perfect. My son's burger was delicious and cooked just right. Biggest disappointment - they no longer have the AMAZING cheeseburger Mac and cheese which both my son and I were looking forward to :-( read more

Previously went to the Ewing location but that has since closed so we ended up here. We came on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait until our whole party arrived to be seated. It's easy to miss if you're turning by the light because it's on the corner of the plaza. Our server was very attentive. Drinks all came quickly and at temp. Only downside is this PJ's doesn't offer brunch cocktails if that's what you're looking for. Love that there's plenty of breakfast options whether you're craving sweet or savory. I ordered the Veggie Benedict and it was a great portion size for the price. Eggs were a little more cooked than I prefer but otherwise it tasted great! Could see myself coming back here again when I want a good breakfast nearby read more

Came here for brunch with my mom. The service was super quick and there were plenty of seats. The ambiance is cozy with lots of natural light. Ordered pancakes and the smoked salmon omelette. Menu is super extensive with so many options - all the breakfast foods you can imagine. Coffee is very strong - it left me feeling nauseous and jittery but I do tend to be sensitive to caffeine. Overall a very solid breakfast/brunch spot! Location is very convenient near the Princeton junction train station. read more

Overly abundant portions. Great for breakfast! ATA's on the noisy side. Service prompt and courteous.

Service was good. They revamped their menu & I enjoyed what I got (potato pancakes) more then the previous times I have been there. :) The previous times were just ok in my opinion. So idk if they changed their chefs too or what, but it's definitely better & makes me more enthusiastic to go back to try other items. read more

I enjoyed my Brunch at PJ's as I was dining by myself on a busy Saturday morning/afternoon. I was told the wait was about 40 mins which was not a problem for me but I was seated at a booth in maybe 25 mins. This location is not that big so I understood the wait time. It's in a strip mall on the end. Service was quick I must say and everything was made fresh. I believe I will revisit PJ's again in the future. read more

I was not expecting this restaurant to be kind of small in space but nonetheless it has some great entrees and pancakes of course. I ordered avocado toast with egg, which came sprinkled with feta cheese on a thick rye toast and a side salad. The pancakes came as single, double or triple stack and I ordered a single nutty multigrain. It was a good sized portion which came with butter and maple syrup on the side. The one thing I didn't like was that the coffee didn't have refills. As for the service, I didn't feel rushed at all and the staff was friendly. Our waitress came by to check on us and gave us ample time to place an order. read more

Let's start with the good. The pancakes were very good and coffee strong and delicious. Service, meh! The male manager (not sure if he's the owner) who sits at the door I found gruff with the customers and acts like he has so much business he doesn't have to go out of his way for anyone. I was in a party of 3 and asked for my own check as I planned on getting something a little more expensive than my friends wanted. As a world traveler and a frequenter of restaurants,this was the first time ever I was told I couldn't be accommodated with this. I was told rather that he could split the bill in half for me (what????) but that he would not give us two separate checks. I asked if I sat a different table and ordered separately if he would give me my own check. He said no. Stubborn and foolish. I ordered a cheaper breakfast and will never go back. read more

This hit the spot as 4 of us ordered different breakfast and shared family style. The service was attentive and the ambience was diner style. First time trying PJ's pancake house to see what all the hype was about. We were satisfied! Nice to try French toast, pancakes, and a new breakfast dish! read more

It's more like 3.5 stars, but I bumped it up to 4 because our server Julia was sweet and attentive without us feeling rushed, and got our dine-in and take-out orders correct. My family and I went to this location instead of the closer Kingston and Princeton locations because of the easier parking. We arrived at 8:45AM on Mother's Day because they don't take reservations, and we were second in line (waited about 5-10 mins). I ordered the eggs any style with bacon, and upgraded to two Nutella, banana, and strawberry pancakes on the side. The bacon was fatty and too oily, but I really enjoyed the pancakes. They are sweet because of the Nutella so be forewarned, but I was in the mood for something sweet that morning and the pancakes hit the spot. I'm looking forward to another PJ's opening closer to me in Montgomery, because it's a standard brunch spot that's needed in the area. read more

Where do I start? I'm trying really hard to start out with positives as one should always do but from the time that we walked in perhaps we should've walked right back out. First the water carafes looks stained at least I hope it was just a stain. Although we ate inside the place was strangely infested with mosquitoes and I got bit all over. As for the food, not only is it very expensive, but both my guest and I left significant portions since it was barely edible. The only thing that I would give is a positive was that the eggs in my eggs Benedict were poached nicely however, the Canadian bacon was the size of a silver dollar on an enormous English muffin and the whole thing was covered in a sauce that looks like it was straight out of a can. Tastesless and the hash brown were equally unappetizing. My guest had a cheese and onion omelette. Neither one of us got anything else no coffee just the water and the total amount was 42.50 and we gave an eight dollar tip plus an eight dollar tip. We promised each other never to come back. We did not take any pictures because it would be the equivalent of a horrible crime scene and would not want to subject anyone to it. It's sad that it's harder and harder to find a decent restaurant a decent price for even the most basic of meals. read more

Around the Princeton area, PJ's enjoys a supernatural aura that suggests just snagging a table here is a bonafide happening apropos of a total eclipse or (God forbid) a living, breathing Republican on the University faculty. At many locations lines snake around the block for eggs, pancakes and french toast that are certainly well prepared but are, after all the superlatives and delirium, just "diner" quality. I've never left truly disappointed but I've also never left a fully fledged member of their ever expanding breakfast cult. If someone wants to drag you here promising unicorns and warm puppies dipped in buttermilk and maple syrup - go - but don't worry if you leave wondering what all the fuss was a about. It just proves that you're sane. Three solid stars. read more

I've gone to PJs many times over the years and usually liked it. I went on May 24, 2025 and they charged $4 for a 1.5 ounce vial of maple syrup. $4! For the four of us, it was $16 for 6 ounces of maple syrup. The breakfasts were also very expensive, but the maple syrup charge was so absurd it bordered on comical - or criminal. read more

Yum! Well worth the wait! The owner and staff are so friendly and the food is delicious!

What an amazing place for breakfast. This location might be my favorite PJ's. So warm and inviting and the outdoor seating is perfect. The breakfast was amazing. They have so many options but I was feeling that I wanted a little of everything so I went with the Twofer which is two pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. Btw I added peanut butter and bananas to my two pancakes cooked into the pancake just how it should be done rather than some places that just toss the banana on the plate haha. Can't wait to go back again. Thank you read more

Rita - perfect friendly service. Food came out hot and fresh. Beef chili in an omelet, wow it works! Reminds me of chorizo. Sub potatos for 3 stack pancakes, slight sweet aroma, fluffy af, lives up definitely to the name of the joint. Coffee with a shot of espresso. Awesome. Everything was perfect, price a bit high, but everything has gone up! Muy beuno! read more

Been to PJ's a few times now and the service and food has always been consistently good. It has a nice intimate ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating. Very friendly staff and quick service. This time I ordered an omelet with turkey sausage and spinach, a side of bacon, a fresh croissant with strawberry jaw, French toast and a s'mores hot chocolate. The omelet was good. A nice size, good amount of salt, and a good amount of sausage. There contained A LOT of spinach and some of it was not sautéed thoroughly, so I ended up taking some off. But overall a good omelet. The bacon had a nice crisp, and a good amount of slices. The croissant was very good. It was warm, flakey and the jam added a nice touch. The hot chocolate was AMAZING. Definitely something to get as we hit these colder months. The French toast was for my son so I did not get a chance to try but judging how he devoured them, I think it's safe to assume they were good. All, PJ's hit the mark as usual. I would recommend T anyone in the area. read more

This may be the worst restaurant I ever ate food. Terrible place. Bad service, disgusting food, dirty, noisy and to boot I ended getting sick from the couple of bites I took of the 'Country Boy Hash'. If the service and food wasn't bad enough, they have some sort of expresso machine that is so loud I thought the building was falling down. OMG. Stay away. Bad place. read more

Overly expensive and they cannot accommodate gluten allergies or celiac . The menu says they can only accommodate gluten free if you're doing it to be healthy as everything is contaminated. I'm sorry but eggs and fruit should not pose a risk- you could have a separate pan . read more

Love this location of PJ's SO much more than the one in downtown Princeton! I came here on a Saturday at noon with my girlfriends and we were seated immediately. The manager was so sweet and ensured we would get a nice booth. The service was very quick, our waiter came immediately and was very accommodating to our detailed orders and customizations to the menu ingredients!! My needed gluten-free swaps and I asked for my omelette to be made with only egg whites and they were able to do that easily. The quantity of the food was also so large and I was so satiated even with just egg whites! There were so many veggies in my omelette so I was happy they didn't skimp on that. Overall very happy with everything :) the manager even kept cracking jokes with us he was great read more

We came here with friends on a Sunday and the place was PACKED. We waited over 45 minutes to be seated and when we were seated the service was painfully slow. The waiter never took our drink order or brought us silverware. Our one friend had to get up from the table and bring us napkins and ketchup because the waiters were no where to be found. The food was very tasty-particularly the pancakes and chicken and waffles. The decor was classic American breakfast ambience. Just wish the service wasn't so atrocious. read more

Finally was able to try PJ's after never having the opportunity to go. The service was fast, there wasn't a wait which was definitely surprising! I ordered a shortstack with bacon on the side. Typically I like to try the simple things my first time trying a place because if you cannot get that right, my hope for the rest of the menu is bleak. The pancakes were soft and took up the entire plate! The bacon was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be back to this location as we had a great time! read more

This was our second time visiting PJ Pancake House. We were originally planning on going to the Princeton location, however the line was out the door! They do not take any reservations, however they are dog friendly, which was what we needed. At this location, the outdoor space was not very spacious. I enjoyed my turkey club sandwich and there was more than enough for one person. My friend got the trio pancakes, however the potato pancake was not too great. I would recommend coming early morning on a weekend or be willing to wait. read more

Came here on a saturday around 2:30 and there weren't a lot of other people there but it still took a long time to get our food. We got the slider sampler, which is the first time I've tried a non-breakfast item, and chose the steak, salmon, and crab cake sliders. The steak was very overcooked and couldn't really bite into it. The salmon was alright but didn't have much flavor. The crab cake was definitely the best out of the three but overall was average. We also got the waffle sandwich, which was just waffles with whipped cream and strawberries and blueberries- don't think it was worth the price. read more

This place does not have wi-if. When I told them I had to leave and find a place that did have wi-fi... They charged me $3.50 for half of the 8 oz soda I drank. It's 2023. How hard is I to have wi-if... More importantly, how hard is it to let my 4 oz of soda go 'on the house' for inconveniencing by not having a basic service. So: never again Here--or the other 12 locations in the 'Gretalia Hospitality Group'... read more

What can I say, I guess I am bias I LOVE PJ's. I also love the fact that they expanded and are branching out to open other locations. I mean the one in Princeton will always be in my heart and soul. Now there's locations closer to me and with better parking lol. Mom and I went for breakfast. She had eggs and toast and I had the Pancake sampler. YUP! I had pancakes yayy. I got chocolate chip, banana pecan and blueberry. All of them were delicious right down to the last bite. Coffee was decent also and stayed warm in their mugs since we were sitting outside, which was nice. Menu is pretty decent. Our waitress was serving inside and outside of course. So she was difficult to find at times, but did check on us on occasion. I do like the outdoor seating arrangement and I hope they keep it. Next time I'm going to get their Pumpkin Pancakes, I do miss them, We had a wonderful and lovely breakfast. Their Pancakes are still so light and delicious. You don't feel weighed down by them. I might have to check them out for lunch one of these days, since I am always down that way now. It's in the same mall as Woori Mart. one stop shopping, So if you have never been to a PJ's Pancake House what are you waiting for get your butt down there and try those yummy pancakes. You won't be disappointed. So many flavors to choose from. I will be back can't wait. read more

Racist, rude, and hostile hostess. I put my name down on the waitlist and gave my number. They don't have any space to sit and wait for a table so my friends and I walked a few doors down to wait inside a bakery. It was too cold to wait outside. Most establishments in the modern world send texts when your table is ready and give you 10 mins to arrive before giving your table away. When I looked at my phone, I had a missed call even though my phone had not rung due to poor service in that shopping center, and I called back TWO minutes after their call. They said they had seated another party that was after me. So, I walked back 1 minute later and asked to be seated and mentioned that it would be courteous if they give some more time to customers to make their way back to the restaurant. It was as though I unleashed the wrath of a rude and entitled high school student. I've never seen a hostess so disrespectful and condescending. I was calmly trying to resolve the situation but her behavior was so repulsive that the rest of my party decided that they wanted to leave. I cannot help but think that race played a role in her appalling behavior. Do better Pjs at west Windsor. Reconsider hiring ill-mannered, base, and racist hostesses. read more

PJ'S pancakes is obviously a hugely popular restaurant chain in the Princeton area. I've gone many times over the 5 years I've lived here and the food (pancakes/shakshuka/benedicts/etc) is normally really good. This review is about the pricing which has recently gone up quite a decent amount. Today my partner and I paid $18 for a stack of 3 pancakes and $13 for a single piece of avocado toast that was clearly made from preserved avocado mash (not fresh avocados). Honestly I had a feeling the avocado toast was going to be bad but everything else on the menu was like $18+ and I felt a little stuck like I had to order something and wanted to at least save a few dollars. These are ridiculous prices for simple breakfast food. Side items like "2 eggs" would have cost almost $7. Anyway if you are in a position to not worry about money, the food is usually good, but it's not exactly affordable. read more

This location of PJ's pancakes offers similar menu as their flagship location on Nassau st. Princeton. This 2nd branch of West Windsor does not disappoint. They offer the large breakfast/brunch menu, made fresh with lots of options. Their menu specialized in the usual breakfast treats but we were amazed at how good the pancakes, crepes, and the french toast were. Plus they gave us generous portions of main dishes and sides. We tried Pancakes (Banana pecan) are fluffy & filling with lots of flavors. Crepes were savory and tasted very good. French toasts came with maple syrup, vanilla, raisins and strawberries. we were quite pleased with food. It can be really busy and sometimes long wait for a table around 11:00 am on weekends. But the staff does their best to turn the tables while service is excellent, fast and super friendly. Pancakes (Banana pecan) are fluffy & filling with lots of flavors.   Over all, the place is casual but with a touch of class. They offer something that is totally missing in this area for weekend breakfast/brunch place!! read more

I love this place. Diverse menu options for a diner and great quality! Staff is always efficient and friendly.

Very hearty with a hint of smoky. read more

Called day before to see what the restaurant could do as my mom was elderly and recently suffered a stroke. We knew that they did not accept reservations but did not want mom to feel uncomfortable with waiting. The hostess who answered suggested a good time to come in when it would not be busy and assured me she left a note for the staff the next day. Well, we got there and they were super busy and the staff seemed unsympathetic to mom's needs. I understand if superbusy and kindness goes a long way. Food is good, not great, but good. With the menu prices they have it may be better just to go to a local diner to get much better value. read more

Ok so the waitress was not so attentive my husband had to ask for more coffee and when I ordered my food the waitress says no we can't do that and it was pretty expensive not worth the price the Crepe was tasteless. This is a one and done for now. The restaurant was a little noisy. read more

Our waitress was polite and accommodating. I had never been to PJ's before so I was pleasantly surprised by their Pancakes--and for the first time in my life I had a corn pancake, not bad-- who knew?!
