    Pancake with apple cinnamon
    Joy S.

    Everything was delicious. Great service. Our wait staff was wonderful (too bad I didn't get her name). Waiting time is very long, both to get table and to get food (maybe it's because we came here Sunday's morning).

    Mimosa
    Dave F.

    So we are fortunate to live close by, so we can come an go when it is not packed. Huge menu options, breakfast all day is a nice plus, however mimosa's are the biggest factor here. LOL My wife had the beef vegetable soup, and thank goodness she shared(thank ou), it was 5 star beef vegetable soup. She had a grilled cheese n fries and loved it. I think the fries are hand-cut. I had the ham n cheese omelette add mushrooms with fried potatoes and toast. The omelette was humongous and very tasty, a lot of mushrooms and ham. Fried potatoes are not my go to, but they were so good. (I prefer shredded taters) The service was very good and our server was very social and very prompt as well. Thank You for the great service!

    Capital Pancakes house is a staple in the Williamsburg area. The service was great , they were all so friendly and we loved that when you walk in they have patches from first responders from all around the country. My husband is a first responder so he donated his badge to there wall so I'm a way a part of us will forever be a part of there story . The ambiance is a typical pancake house nothing crazy but there food was really good especially there French toasts and there eggs and let me not forget to mention there world famous coffee it was really good .

    Eggs Benedict
    Shannon M.

    A solid diner restaurant with quality comfort food. Generally not the place to visit if you want elaborate veggie choices. The Eggs Benedict was very good and about half of my calories for the entire waking day. They give large portions. MY GRADE: B.

    Solid place for breakfast. I ordered the chicken and waffles and biscuits and they were all fantastic. We visited for a birthday brunch and handle the table well. However some of the other food, ie the bacon and sausage gravy weren't fan favorites. Our server was nice and tried her best to ensure things turned out okay. It's pretty spacious and loud due to all the tables.

    French toast

    Great service and they were fast at giving food. The feel was happy. Clean and busy. Large portions

    Garden Omelette with toast and fruit. This omelette gets 5 stars for sure. Very delicious and great portion size.

    The eggs were overcooked, hash brown were undercooked and lacked seasoning. Service was good and the wait was not long.

    Generic food and prices. The service was severely lacking though. Very much a small town, Southern, Americana vibe.

I just needed a lil something. My girl going to stockpot and I went over. Dudes quick and to the point, food only takes about 10 minutes, I jammed a bit while inside but frfr it was a lil dead in there cuz it was a lil later but I ain't mad, more time for me to get my order! I would say if you haven't had them before? Today is the day to get up and try it. If you have? You need to be reviewing too cuz this spot too good not to have it bustling all the time! I digress tho, more time for me to get my food and leave satisfied.

    I have wanted to try Granby Waffle Shop for a while, especially once I found out it was the sister…read moreshop to Richmond's Capitol Waffle Shop. I also won gift certificates for Selden Market, and they were burning a hole in my mind. So early on Sunday morning, my partner and I trek from VA Beach to Downtown Norfolk. After a few phone calls to their owner, I could use my gift certificate. We ordered the classic chicken and waffle for my partner (without Captain Crunch or powdered sugar), and since I was in the mood for sweet and savory - I ordered the Grandma waffle. The Grandma waffle is a full-size waffle featuring scrambled eggs, breaded chicken, strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar. To drink, my partner grabbed a coffee, and since I firmly believed in brunch, I grabbed a mimosa. Our drinks were the second best part of our dining experience (the first was the customer service). The waffles were lackluster. The chicken and waffle only feature the equivalent of one chicken tender split into four pieces. I wished I had photo evidence, but my partner said, 'Nope, don't photograph this. ' My waffle was better. The strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar helped compensate for the lack of sweetness in the waffle. My waffle was also filler since I had more toppings, but another chicken tender would be friendly.

They tried to help with the parking issues, 5 spaces for an entire restaurant is not enough, plus the only handicap spot is not accessible for a van. My entire family of 6 were sat right away and orders taken rather fast. I decided I wanted a waffle but also needed protein. I knew I wouldn't eat much of the waffle but my 11 year old twins would gladly polish it off, so no since I'm getting the two mini waffles and paying the extra $2 per topping. I opted for a side order of two eggs and sausage patties. The order arrived minus my waffle. I was assured it was coming right out. I waited and waited. I had also split my eggs and sausage with my older daughter as her waffle did not come with protein and I knew she would get a headache without eating protein. After all my kids were done eating and my husband only had two bites of his pancakes left, I saw the hostess walk out of the kitchen with the same waffles I ordered. She was acting strangely and slide the waffles behind the bin full of silverware to wrap. She kept looking around and then slid into the booth and started eating away but trying to hide what she was doing. Our server saw her and confronted her. She pointed at our table and the hostess just shrugged and put another huge bite in her mouth. Our server went to her supervisor who then promptly came to us to let us know my waffle was coming, a slight delay in the kitchen. Now the restaurant is almost empty at this point. Why lie. I saw the whole debacle go down with the hostess. My husband even pointed it out and the supervisor replied with oh no, we had two orders in for the same waffle. Really! It's been almost 30 minutes and my food didn't come out. Really! I informed her I was done and no longer wanted the waffle. The server brought it out a few minutes later, and informed I wasn't being charged for the waffle. I had her box it up as I was done and paying. I never ate the waffle, we had drove over an hour to try this place. I won't go back. The food was subpar and nothing to rave about. It's just sad that they have a hostess who wants to shove food in her mouth and staff who are not honest. I will just continue to enjoy the hospitality and great food at Not Another Pancake House in Williamsburg where people always have a smile and care about their customers.
