Richard Walker's Pancake House

Growing up in San Diego I have no idea how I missed this place! Thankfully when I went back on a trip with my hubby we found Richard Walker's and make sure to go every time we are in town! The portions are amazing, the food dynamite, the service is excellent! Sometimes there's a wait but it's totally worth it! A must have for our vacays! :)

I recently checked out the new Richard Walker's Pancake House in downtown San Diego and it was just what San Diego has been needing! It's a breakfast lovers' heaven. The menu had every kind of breakfast dish you could think of. It is a gourmet upscale restaurant that has a comfortable and classy atmosphere. My server was a doll too. The only thing is that it closes in the early afternoon so you must go early if you want to enjoy.

After looking at the photo of the apple pancake while waiting in line last Saturday morning, I couldn’t even think of ordering anything else. And, PS the line really doesn’t take that long – and it lets you study the menu before you sit down. The “Walker’s Apple Pancake” arrived looking just as delicious as it appeared in the pictures. Every bite of this huge apple-cinnamon pancake made me a believer that it the infamous Richard Walker line is always worth the wait. Though, I must warn pancake lovers that the apple dish is way more apple than actual pancake, as the actual dough is pretty thin, and the fresh cinnamon topped apples steal the taste. This is not a bad thing. The staff was very friendly and always kept my coffee full.

Every time I see this place there's a line out the door for seating. My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to bring my girlfriend here for breakfast. We waited in line for a few minutes, the staff worked hard to make the wait as short as possible. The menu had a great selection of breakfast dishes as well as a few lunch items. I ordered the hash and eggs dish. It came out much faster than I anticipated and was perfectly cooked the way I like it. The prices were reasonable and the portions were huge...we both ended up taking leftovers home. All in all, a great place for breakfast. It's worth all the hype and the brief wait for a table.
