I’ve eaten here a couple of times. The food is what I expected since I ordered pancakes. It’s really delicious. I love pecan pancakes, so I went with«It». Solid choice. I’m sure their service here is good during the day, but they can greatly improve their service at night(after 10). My friends and I sat for 10 minutes one night without being greeted by anyone before walking out. I’ve never been here during the day, but if the service is better then, then I suggest a visit. Enjoy!

Pricey for me — plate of cottage fries at almost $ 14. Have a wide array of meals for you but be prepared to shell out for it. Can’t say the fries were worth more than what one would expect to pay as they were good. But their desserts are their forte but yet again get ready to get your wallet dented.

Pancake parlour are completely over priced for the lack of flavour and service you receive. Staff don’t care and ice waited 20 minutes for some water. Pancakes often feel as though they’ve just been reheated. You’ll pay over $ 13 for potato chips

We are big fans of the pancake house in Adelaide so we decided to try the pancake parlour while we are visiting Victoria and thankfully we were right next to one. Pulling up there was a moment of confusion with some badly signposted disabled parking spots — we weren’t sure if we were in one or not, so we moved. We went in and we were greeted by our waiter who took us up the back to a booth and grabbed a high chair for Boo. Unfortunately boo was in a bad mood and was crying a little so Brendon took her for a walk around while we waited for our food. I felt very uncomfortable as I felt like the waiter kept glaring at us as she walked past and I felt like she was trying to get us to move along. My cheese and potato pancake was yummy and hubby’s choc fudge stack looked great(although I thought $ 5 for fudge was a bit rich!)

I’ve been eating at the Pancake Parlour at different locations for years. It’s convenient. Their Swiss Mountain Malts are to die for(and may well kill you if you have diabetes). This Chadstone interior is the best one I’ve ever been to: it’s a little more modern and Steam-Punkish than the rest. That said, they are way overpriced these days. I miss their old version of the ‘best breast of chicken’ dish — the new butterflied versions of the old dish just don’t cut it in comparison, and feel like a complete rip off. On the positive side, their new Slow-Cooked Lamb Crepes are the best thing to happen to their menu for years. Sadly the lamb seems to be served a little too on the cool side for me, but they tell me that’s how it’s meant to be. The flavour is great however, just ask for it to be served with a little extra heating time(should I say reheat?).

These stars are for the service, its quick, the food, it’s comforting and delicious, the family style, highchairs are plentiful and for convenience, it’s open 24 hours and has a huge parking lot! I usually order the Canadian pancakes. Bacon, pancakes and 2 eggs made to order. Mmmm, craving it just typing about it. The cosmopolitan wasn’t all that great but my friends loved their milkshakes. Note to self, don’t order the martini at a breakfast place!

.gosh! So indulgent and good! I’ve been twice for pancakes, and they’ve been great both times. I loved the Canadian brekkie with the fried bananas *drool* the service isn’t great, don’t expect forthcoming refills on your coffee! But a great spot none the less :)

This is one of the better pancake parlours we’ve been to. The tables are never sticky as with some. Its always clean. The service is always fast and efficient. It doesn’t matter if its the middle of the night(they are 24 hours) or middle of the day you cannot fault the staff. I tried the new on the menu Salted Caramel Pancake. They were happy to change the pancake from a white pancake to the buckwheat pancake. And the ice cream was a creamy ice cream not an icy one as with some. The salted caramel was perfect. I would order this dish again. The only reason I give a four star and not five is the prices. The prices seriously are ridiculous. Over $ 7 for a royal hot chocolate… really I should have taken a pic of it. It had no cream or marshmallows which I new that it didn’t state it on the menu but I thought it would be amazing. Made with choc fudge and not chocolate bits. It was nice but ordinary. It was in a glass. Not a huge mug like the hot chocolate. I would recommend this place for the food and the service. The best tasting pancakes by far.

Avoid like the plague. Most overpriced place ever. Thanks for serving raw eggs — slight difference to poached eggs. And there was a hair in the mushrooms. On the upside, the pancakes were OK.

The server was a friendly dude, the menu was pretty expensive, but the food was decent. I figure if you had a big group of people, this would be a good place to go.

Not really a fan. I came as a group here last night at just after midnight and ended up not even ordering anything. I wasn’t quite keen on the idea of buying pancakes for $ 25. I thought though, that I could do with a scotch. So I go up to the bar and request so. The guy asks which table I was on, so I told him, but I requested I pay then so that I did not have to worry about it later. Needed to explain that a few times. Took about 5 mins and three separate staff to get that done only to find out that I was 3 minutes too late for alcohol anyway. Might have got it if it wasn’t for the delay but oh well. I enjoyed my water. On the other hand. The meals did look amazing and I could have definitely gone for one if I was willing to empty my wallet. Good portion sizes and all that. Just too expensive.
