The good: the service was excellent. I didn't feel like we waited for anything and I didn't feel like they were always there. The chicken fried steak was excellent and quite a lot of food. The teriyaki chicken itself was good and the rice was good. The bad: the vegetables which came underneath the teriyaki chicken seemed like they had been steamed in a microwave. They had an odd texture. It was a minor thing, but it was something I noticed so I'm including it in this review. Prices were a little higher than I expected, $22 for chicken fried steak? The ugly: N/A It's rare that I come to these particular restaurants and I don't order chicken fried steak or corned beef hash plates because I feel that's where their strength lies. But I was in the mood for lunch so I tried it. It was good, but I still think their breakfast menu is where they excel. I will continue to frequent these locations as their service is top-notch and their food is quite good.

I read the Yelp review and say an item on the menu that I was excited about so we came today for my Mother's Day lunch. They weren't serving it anymore. They didn't have a child's menu.

Nice as they could be and big portions but I wouldn't recommend it.

I ordered the steak and eggs with country red potatoes w/ bell peppers and onions, sunny side up eggs, and a side fruit cup. I asked for my steak medium, and it was cooked just right. The only small nitpick I had was that I would've liked the fat cap on the steak rendered down a little more, but the flavor was still really good and the steak was seasoned well. The potatoes had great flavor, the eggs were cooked nicely, and the fruit was fresh and tasted great. I even ordered through DoorDash, and everything still arrived warm, which says a lot. Overall, everything was great and I'd definitely order from here again. Five stars from me! P.S: always support your locoa small business when you can!

I came here because I was invited to a group brunch gathering filled with community leaders from North Highlands, Elverta, and Rio Linda. For breakfast, I decided to order the Portuguese Burrito. It was a burrito made with linguica, scrambled eggs, bell pepper, onion, and Cheddar cheese, topped with salsa and sour cream. It also came with a side of fruit. The entire meal was so filling and mouthwatering. The burrito was flavorful, especially when I added a few drops of Cholula Hot Sauce to enhance the flavor. The side of fruit included a mixture of cantaloupe, pineapple, grapes, and melon, and it was beyond fresh. The customer service exceeded expectations. All of the staff members who served the entire group were so pleasant and attentive. I felt nothing but warm hospitality with a bunch of smiles. The inside of the restaurant was decently-sized with plenty of tables and chairs available. The atmosphere presented as a cozy, family-friendly diner. The parking lot had ample spaces for vehicles. Overall, I was gratified with my visit to Pancake Palace. This restaurant is a solid breakfast & lunch spot in the North Highlands area. I highly recommend stopping by.

The food tasted okay while we were eating it, but unfortunately both my husband and I ended up with upset stomachs afterward. We can't say for certain what caused it, but it seemed like the cooking oil may not have been the best quality. The outstanding customer service is the reason for the three stars, but based on our experience, we're not sure we'd return for the food.

Food comes out quickly and refills are offered without having to ask for more. Place gives kitschy 60's diner vibes.

Never too crowded or a wait when I've been. Only thing to know is there is an extra charge for credit card transactions. When I go out for breakfast, this is my go to spot.

The rice portion was great but lacked a bit of flavor. The chicken was generously doused with their white and red sauce however, the sauces tasted a bit plain to me and had very little spice.

The lomo saltado was the standout for me. Tender beef, onions, tomatoes, crispy fries, and rice all came together with a rich, savory sauce that delivered on every bite. The fusion sushi rolls were fresh, flavorful, and packed with toppings, making them a fun choice if you're in the mood for something a little different. We also enjoyed the salchipollo crispy chicken strips, fries, and hot dogs that made for the ultimate comfort food combo. It's not often you find a restaurant that can satisfy three completely different cravings in one visit, but Llamas & Grill pulls it off. With generous portions, a welcoming atmosphere, and a menu that has something for everyone, it's an easy place to bring family or friends. Rex Tip: Got a picky eater? The salchipollo is a great choice. Think crispy chicken strips and fries, with fun little octopus cut hot dogs that kids usually love. It's familiar enough for cautious eaters but still a fun way to try something new. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex
