Our services was fantastic. If you want to use your points or certificates here, give them the Gift card number while you are sitting down or waiting for your food. The restaurant needs the Gift card number to verify its authenticity before they can accept it. Don’t wait till the end to let them know you are using a gift card from Stickr.co/ restaurant.com. They do take the gift card certificates from restaurant.com and if it wasn’t for this site. We wouldn’t have had an awesome experience at this restaurant. Read more Read less

" Christy Served Us A Yummy Meal " We went to the Pancake House Restaurant in El Cajon again and met Christy our server. Christy was very nice as she hustled around the restaurant making sure that she took care of everyone's needs. Christy has only been with The Pancake House for 6 months, and did a nice job taking care of our needs. We ordered 2 Seafood Platters which have 5 crusted Shrimp and 2 Fish Filet. The Pancake House Tarter Sauce is the best that I have ever tasted anywhere. And their cocktail sauce has that delicious horseradish kick to it also. The meal also came with a soup or salad, and your choice of potatoes and a side of vegetables. My wife had the crispy French Fries, and I had a delicious large baked potato. Every time we come to this restaurant the meals are always very tasty, and the service is first class. As I have said before in other reviews, we will be back again ! Read more Read less

Waitress very friendly & knew menu. Sweet potato pancakes were awesome!
Biscuits & gravy have a plastic taste - both times I've ordered them.
It's costs 2.99 to share a plate. They have huge servings so I had to pay extra for my children to share a plate.
great people
Omelette and scramble were very good. Biscuits and gravy were the worst.
New waitresses still learning. Place was very busy.

HOWEVER; the drinking water is full of clorine. Obvious that the filters have not been changed in years. We mention this each time we visit, and we are told that the water is filtered. It is undrinkable and it makes the ice tea taste terrible. It will not stop us from coming back, but it is disappointing. Read more Read less
