The pancakes are really big

Good pancakes good food nice service good drinks you can see how they make the pancakes nice poffertjes I would come here again I recommend that you come here!!!

Mushroom & cheese

Delish pancakes. Zero beer selection except for Heineken in a can and everyone knows pancakes need a traditional dark beer to go with them Nevertheless the pancakes themselves were tasty. Got the cheese & mushroom & it was doughy on the inside and caramelized on the outside so there as lots of cheesy crusty goodness. Tons of flavor! We were fans!

LOVE THIS PLACE. If you are ever in the Haag in Netherlands, you must grab Dutch pancakes. The owner Will is the sweetest man, very patient; and whips out the greatest brunch food in town. I recommend the Dutch pancakes, it's different than the American style since they're tiny round fulls that are more crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We got ours with strawberry and cream and were so delicious!! We also ordered an omelette with tomatoes. It was light and filling and a great balance for salty and sweet.

Oh yeah. Chocolate milk!

Craving something sweet before heading back to Amsterdam, I stopped in Will's Pancake House since it was close to central station and was opened later than most places. This place is a dine inside only place and seemed really dark when I walked in. Their menu is composed mostly of sweet and savory dutch/american pancakes along with poffertjes. As far as drinks go, they have your usual milks, coffee, teas. I was craving a basic pancake, perhaps with some simple butter and powdered sugar. There was a bit of a language barrier when I ordered but it came down to getting a Naturel pancake with butter and topped with sliced bananas. The dutch pancake came out piping hot and perfectly cooked. I added the powdered sugar myself from what they had already on the table. I absolutely enjoyed my sweet buttery pancake that I got here. It went very well with the chocolate milk that I also ordered on the side (use to love milk and pancakes as a child). Will's proved to be an excellent stop for a great dutch pancake, they were quick and prices were right. Be prepared with cash, because they informed me that they did not take cards here, which is the first place I found in Netherlands that was cash only. The only downside I found here was the table and floor were a bit dirty but the food proved to be worth it.

Poffertjes!!

Lekkerje! What friendly waiter. Explains us all the delicious dishes on the menu. We had pannekoeken with raisins and apple. Wohooo! And poffertjes with strawberries. Wohooo! See you next time delicious pannekoeken and poffertjes.

We absolutely love this place. The owner is extremely friendly. It's a family business, and I recommend about everything they serve. The savory pancakes are great, as well as the sweet.

A festive brunch.

I had the pleasure of noshing here several times between January and July of 2013. A wonderful family owned kid friendly establishment. Just keep in mind that dutch pancakes are not anything like what is in The United States. Once you get that notion out of your head you will enjoy the wonderful difference. Bon appetit :)

Fresh orange juice and good coffee

Decent traditional pancakes, dated space and decor, a little expensive, but amazing friendly staff. Worth at least one visit

This is a down-to-earth, family-style pancake house. Don't expect it to be fancy, just expect it to be good.

What a fun little Amsterdam find! First things first: reservations are HIGHLY recommended. Seating…read moreis only on the hour, starting at noon, and this place is tiny. We're talking just four tables, with only two that can seat a party of four. They'll consider walk-ins at opening if there's room, but I wouldn't chance it. Then there's the setting. Funky, quirky, cozy, and packed with wonderfully random decorations. Like teapots and cups on the ceiling. And yes, you really do go upstairs...very steep stairs! Definitely something to know if mobility is an issue. But let's talk PANCAKES! We ordered four for our table of four--two savory and two sweet--which was WAY too much food, but OMG, they were incredible. Huge, thin, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The tiny kitchen can only cook two pancakes at a time, which somehow just adds to the charm. Prices were surprisingly reasonable, too. Just don't dally--you have your table for an hour, and then it's time for the next lucky group to climb those stairs. Would I go back? HECK YA! We barely scratched the surface of the menu, and there are plenty more pancakes calling my name. Friendly staf

IMPORTANT: CASH ONLY or debit. I was so excited to try this…read moreplace and we made our way there winding through the streets of Amsterdam. When we arrived and hiked upstairs, yes it's a hike straight up steep stairs, only to see the sign "fully booked" womp womp. HOWEVER, we asked if there was a waiting list because we didn't realize reservations are basically necessary. WE GOT LUCKY as a table was available because someone didn't show for their reservations!! We ordered the special of the day, blueberry & cream, and a bacon, cheese and apple pancake. Quickly cooked up and served and boy were they both delicious! I also didn't know it was a cash only establishment or debit card. Whom I presume was the owner was so sweet and again luckily our US credit card could be processed as debit. Saved me from having to do dish duty! Definitely a must do in Amsterdam but make a reservation and carry cash! Also to note, they only have 4 tables and if you're more than 5 minutes late for your reservation they may have given away your table!
