What used to be a great place to go has gone down hill 😕 I ordered a Denver omelette with mushrooms. They forgot to put cheese on my omelette... The coffee was okay The lady who sat us asked us what we wanted to drink and then it took him 5 minutes to bring it to us and lastly, they no longer offer a variety of jellies for your toast. It's now just mixed berry

This morning I had taken my wife to eat here and regret ever coming to this restaruant. As the waitress lupe walked us to our table she did not ask what we would like to drink just walked off. Lupe returned and took our order then immediately required me to pay the bill talking loudly so everyone in the restaurant is now looking at us. She didnt give us our drinks until after I paid ,and she brought back 2 folded dollars with no receipt when lupe brought the food it was already cold I had just spent $57 on cold food coffee and orange juice then as we're eating lupe asked how many to go boxes we would want and we just began eating so I finished my meal went to the bathroom and my wife was sitting with a look like she was about to cry she quietly told me she asked for more orange juice and a different server refused and gave her a cup of iceless water. I asked the waitress for an Orange juice she said there are no refills I said ok well I'm not asking for a refill I want to purchase another one she flat out said no and lupe yells come here I'll deal with you from the front register says no refills I said ok can you just charge me for another one she said you already paid so no. I was standing there embarrassed everyone watching cash to pay in my hand for the orange juice then she told us to leave she doesn't have time for me.i asked to speak to her manager she said I just did. That was the most horrible experience of our life. Rude judgemental staff cold food and Waste of money not worth it to eat there.

Got the early bird special one large pancake one egg hash browns and two sausages for $9 not a bad deal. I went ahead and added an extra pancake and some peanut butter to go with the pancakes. Being a diabetic they also offer sugar-free syrup. You couldn't taste the difference. It was a great dining experience

Pancake Circus does not have much ambiance!
But want comfort food? I had the Pancake Circus special $13.99 and a cup of coffee (which was excellent)!
Surprisingly, it was: 2 eggs (your way), 2 sausage or bacon, potatoes (country style was recommended and did not disappoint! Huge chunks of potatoe perfectly cooked), and surprisingly cinnamon french toast (not pancakes?).
*Now how a place called Pancake Circus, could have a special without pancakes is dumb founding. However the french toast is shaped like a pancake! See photo.
The service was great, so was the coffee. Plenty of parking, handicap accessed. Did not see many families, however this was a Monday morning, not the weekend. In addition, what kid does not love pancakes! The decorations inside child friendly! See photos.

Service is always quick and very polite. Never super busy when I come with my friends and partner, but even when there's a good amount of people here it's pretty quiet. Nice place to go with friends, significant others, or on your own with a book.

You go to a greasy spoon for exactly that, a greasy spoon.
Expect charming service, vintage atmosphere, and very classic American greasy spoon diner offerings.
The staff is kind and the prices are very reasonable.

Okay, the decor could use an update, but if you are looking for good food and great value, this is an excellent place for breakfast or brunch.
We've gone there for breakfast two Sundays in a row. I had linguiça and eggs two Sundays ago, and pork chop, eggs, and pancakes yesterday. I couldn't finish the pancakes!
The wait staff are very professional and courteous.
It's like stepping back in time. Everything is old. Not for those scared of clowns. Food isn't mind blowing. Some of our plates were cold BUT pancakes are worth trying. Service is ok. Our server did not check on us for refills. I dont think she checked on any table. I think this place is worth a visit for it's age.

Pancake Circus has been around for over 50 years. And it's been a good 50. Much of the interior decor came from that era and though it is a little tired, it's a step back in time when you enter and are greeted by the fun standing clown sign. The food is prepared quickly and served promptly. The staff is accommodating and professional. It's no wonder pancake is in the name; they are delicious. Try Pancake Circus. It is a fun adventure to the bygone days.
