Millbrae Pancake House

Great little family owned diner. This is one of those places I bring visitors to the Bay area to impress them. The chicken fried steak, corn beef hash, and of course, the pancakes are especially good. Everything here is good, really. The only drawback is the long wait, but it's worth it.

VERY tasty pancakes! I had buckwheat pancakes, which are definitely good, but also very dry! I like buckwheat pancakes, and I knew what to expect, but the consistency was crumbly. The banana pancakes were tasty and exactly what you'd expect of buttermilk pancakes. The eggs were done perfectly to order (over medium for me), and the biscuits were decent, though not super memorable. I will say, in complete honesty, their gravy is just not good. It's thin, runny, and doesn't have any real meat to it. It had some that looked like it was added to the gravy and had a weird consistency. It definitely wasn't made from scratch from the fond of frying sausage or anything like that. It was the most disappointing part of the experience. Though I have zero qualms about going back (in fact, I look forward to it), and enjoy the good and friendly service, I won't be going back for the biscuits and gravy, but for the tasty pancakes.

Godly delicious pancakes!! The Swedish pancakes are so fricking good served with Lingonberry and butter. All dishes are so well made here. If my cousin had a choice, she would choose to come here everyday for breakfast as there’s a broad variety of pancakes.
