Pancake house

Some independent pancake houses are found in strip malls, or exist as stand-alone structures that have been re-fitted, such as a closed-down diner or retail store.

In addition, a wide variety of breakfast foods are common at pancake house restaurants, which includes grits, oatmeal, omelettes, egg dishes,[1] breakfast meats such as bacon and sausage,[1] and combinations such as pigs in a blanket and eggs benedict.

Moreover, Dutch pancakes are generally eaten as full lunch or dinner meals, and not as breakfast items like in the United States.

[1] Some restaurateurs in the United States have focused on offering breakfast foods for consumers to eat at times of the day other than in the morning, to make pancake and waffle houses more competitive.

For example, Williamsburg, Virginia, has the highest per capita ratio of waffle and pancake houses in the world.

[15] The Original Pancake House has over 100 franchised restaurants in the United States,[16] and in Portland, Oregon, where it was founded, it has been open since 1953.
