The Bacon was disgusting!! 🤮 It was made days before. It's had an old bacon grease taste and apon eating it the texture I can only describe as days old. And that's why we will never go back.

I have been enjoying breakfast and brunch or pancakes R Us for over 10 years now. I always order some egg dish and it has a wide collection of omelette scrambled etc. The services outstanding with its long-term employees recognizing you and remembering what you like and don't like.

Pancakes R Us is hands down one of the very best breakfast spots in Costa Mesa. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere and a friendly team that truly cares about your dining experience. The staff here aren’t just polite—they’re attentive, patient, and always ready to make sure you feel welcome and satisfied. Every visit feels like coming back to a place that values both good food and good people.
The food itself is exactly what breakfast should be—comforting, fresh, and made with care. The pancakes are consistently fluffy, golden, and perfectly cooked, with that classic homemade flavor that reminds you why this place stands out. Whether you order them plain, with fruit, or with syrup melting over the top, you can taste the quality in every bite. The menu also offers a great variety of other breakfast options—eggs cooked just right, crispy bacon, and sides that are flavorful and balanced.
Their coffee deserves a special mention—it’s freshly brewed, rich, and aromatic, the perfect complement to a hearty breakfast. You can tell it’s made fresh, not sitting for hours like at some other places. It’s the kind of coffee that keeps you coming back, cup after cup.
What truly makes Pancakes R Us exceptional, though, is the overall experience. The staff take time to check on you, refill your coffee without being asked, and make sure every detail of your meal is right. They make you feel like part of their regular family of customers, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.
It’s rare to find a place that combines consistently excellent food, genuine hospitality, and a clean, comfortable environment, but Pancakes R Us achieves all three effortlessly. It’s a gem in Costa Mesa and a must-visit for anyone who enjoys a great breakfast served with care. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of good food, great coffee, and even better people, Pancakes R Us is exactly where you need to be.

My boyfriend and I decided to have breakfast for dinner at Pancakes R Us, and it was a really good choice! The menu has lots of classic comfort food options, and the portions were generous. Our meals came out hot and fresh, and the pancakes definitely lived up to the name — fluffy and delicious.

The only thing I’d say could’ve been better were the hash browns — they weren’t as crispy as we like them. But overall, the food was tasty, the service was friendly, and the cozy diner vibe made it a nice spot to relax and enjoy a casual meal.

Definitely a solid place to satisfy a breakfast craving any time of day.
