    French Toast Plate

    Very cute local joint with a nice atmosphere. It had a nice old diner vibe. I feel like the food was pretty basic but if you want a simple breakfast the place is very nice! Service was quick and all the employees were very friendly.

    The food was mediocre for the price range. The vibes were fun though and it was pretty crowded on a weekend morning. Chace's Pancake Corral has an old-fashioned diner vibe which was very homey. The staff were friendly and there is a variety of food on the menu.

    Established in 1958, Chace's Pancake Corral is the oldest restaurant in Bellevue, WA, serving up the original menu breakfast offerings. The current owner is the daughter of the eponymous founder. My wife and I (along with my daughter/son-in-law's dog) made it a destination for our Saturday morning walk, and it ended up being a good place for a patio breakfast. We let the host know that we needed an outdoor table for two with a dog, and we were set-up within 5 minutes. The outside dining area is a bit make-shift, right next to the parking lot (quite a few cars passed by our table close enough to take a drive-thru order, it seemed like). But it's really nice that they have that seating for parties with dogs, and there are sun umbrellas ready to go, in the rare event when it is needed. Our hostess brought out a freshly baked dog biscuit during our meal, letting us decide when to give it. Coffee ($3.50) was brought out immediately, and my wife said it was good mainly because it was fresh. It's a simple, two page menu and there were a lot of breakfast items I wanted to try (which isn't always the case). I ended up really enjoying the food, especially since Chace's offers some sampler platters. Greatest Hits ($16) - a small hash brown omelet (hbo), 2 link sausage (wife subbed it for thick cut bacon), and any one pancake (she chose buttermilk). All of it was solid, with the hbo coming with a bit of salsa (pretty sure it was Pace brand....not sure why more restaurants don't use this brand...I love it with my omelets). I got to sample the hbo, and it was really good...egg binding good hash browns, topped with melted american cheese. Joe Adams Assortment ($14.90) - four small sizes of their favorite pancakes: buttermilk, buckwheat, potato, and strawberry (more of a crepe). I loved the potato pancakes, with the buckwheat confirming that it's not my favorite. Service was very friendly, but a bit hit-or-miss (thinking because we were out in the patio). The check is brought out to you (hand written in that old diner style), and you can pay inside. We ended up really enjoying the food, especially since Chace's offers some sampler platters to try smaller samples of different things. We definitely know what to focus on next time (for me, the potato pancakes and the hbo).

    First time at Chace's, my friend said he grew up going here and it's one of his favorite places. My friend and I split the potato pancakes and the banana pancakes. Can't believe this was my first time! They even brought a small pancake for my dog shaped as a bone!

    Fantastic pancakes and great service. I really loved the hot syrup as well. It's a little Smokey in the restaurant so we left our jackets in our cars.

    If you're driving too fast, you'll probably miss it. This cute little place has a cozy diner vibe with quality customers service. The bacon was amazing! Small parking lot, carpool. Great prices. I would definitely come back.

    Local breakfast and lunch place institution with friendly folks, welcoming atmosphere, and although the food came out quickly, a place to loiter a bit for that coffee refill.

    Swedish Pancakes
    Connie A.

    Super inconspicuous but such a staple in Bellevue! Came in on a weekend and our group of 3 were seated immediately. Service is friendly and attentive but they do seem a bit short staffed. I had the Swedish pancakes with a side of hash browns, and really enjoyed both. The coffee was kind of a miss but I think the atmosphere of the small local diner experience makes up for it. Their pancakes are definitely one of a kind!

    Chace's Pancake Corral has been in Bellevue longer than most of the buildings that have taken over downtown Bellevue, making this old school joint an automatic win. There's something really charming about a place that has still remained and has not changed its façade even as Bellevue grows. I like that about Chace's and more. I can't believe I haven't been here before since it has been in Bellevue for several years along Bellevue Way. I've passed by it numerous times but just never made my way to this small establishment until recently when my colleagues wanted to celebrate National Pancake Day and I was like, I'm down! We came here for lunch on a Friday and the place was still bustling post-breakfast hours. The parking lot is small, so if it gets busy, it can be a little challenging. But once you're inside, it just reminds you of a classic diner that has all your breakfast favorites, with a variety of pancakes. For the six of us, we were able to be seated within five minutes. Our server was awesome; I wish I remembered her name. She was super friendly and my colleague mentioned that he came here one morning for breakfast right as it opened and she still had the same upbeat, positive attitude even when the sun hadn't risen yet. I love that. We told her that it was one of our colleagues' birthday the day we visited and she brought out a stack of mini pancakes with whipped cream, funfetti and a candle where the staff sang happy birthday. Best ambiance ever! I ordered the toasted coconut pancakes, but instead of flour, I asked for the buckwheat version, which they were able to substitute. The buckwheat pancakes were good on its own that you don't even need extra flavor like the toasted coconut flakes that came with and the coconut syrup. Stick with the classics for the buckwheat pancakes. But everyone enjoyed their stack of pancakes and what a fun way to celebrate National Pancake Day! I had a fun time here.

    Small place; parking is a challenge. Isle space is close at the back tables. Be prepared to be neighborly. Coffee was poured quickly upon seating but we sat for as much time as it took to drink 1/2 cup of hot coffee before the waiter came to the table. One-half of the menu is pancakes of various flavors and thy do not have any omelets-bummer. The black coffee tasted fresh and had a good flavor. I'd come back if a guest or family wanted to try this place but I would never be a regular or go out of my way to come here. Food was fresh and tasted good but not plentiful nor was the menu diverse in choice--sure 10 kinds of pancakes, French toast but NO omelettes. Choice of scrambled eggs or scrambled with cheese. $7.00 for two coffees is outrageous. Two 10 ounce mugs should cost no more than $2.50 each. The bill was $39 with one dish being simple pancakes for $10. Sure wish we had searched for a Denny's

    Banana Pancakes and Side Orders (hash browns)
    Candace W.

    Went here with friends for a casual brunch a bit ago and had an okay experience. The ambiance is very outdated and diner-like, which actually is part of its charm and rare to find now in Bellevue. The service was a little slow and awkward, not great, but not terrible. The food was decent. I had the blueberry pancake and it was fine, maybe a little dry. The hash browns were decent, but the sausage was super juicy and yummy! My friends thought their banana pancakes and strawberry pancake/crepe were decent. The crepe serving was a little small. I much prefer Waffle House than this breakfast to be honest. Overall: okay breakfast place in Bellevue which is unique for its old diner vibe but you could definitely get better brunch elsewhere.

    Great dining for simple, classic breakfast! Tons of pancakes choices, with french toast, crepes and classic eggs, sausage and bacon. Quant, historic Bellevue restaurant with attentive service and old school vibe.

Go to a family owned business where they actually care about customers and what they put on your plate. I have had their breakfast buffets almost a decade ago. It used to be one of the best ones in town. I don't believe they hold that title anymore. This place is severely understaffed but also what you get in the buffet doesn't even warrant the price. We decided to switch to their à la carte menu. The pluses: They seated us without a reservation on a weekend, sweet staff, the Tiramisu pancakes. The negative: 1 star for the service. I waited for plant based milk the entire time for my coffee-- it never came. My veggie hash had 0 salt and there was no salt on the table. Nor could I get anyone's attention. It was because of our table placement. I finally got someone else to get me salt after I had finished 75% of my meal. It also tasted of cast iron. The BLTA sandwich was good though. Our waitress didn't check on us until 5 minutes prior to getting the check. This place is completely off my list. I'm giving my business to another deserving spot for the Mother's Day brunch.

We ordered both the #7 Omelette: Nova Scotia Lox and the #2 Omelette: The Supreme Omelette. Of course both were such generous portions that we had leftovers. We also got the Reuben. The sandwich was so big it had to be deconstructed and eaten with a fork and knife.

They have uniquely sourced items that are from Poland, Ukraine, and neighboring countries, as well as familiar items like house made baklava. When I shop there, I mostly concentrate on their dry goods such as sauces in jars, sweets, and easy to cook foods like frozen perogies (dumplings). Amongst the sweets, the Polish Wawel Mieszanka Krakowska chocolate covered jelly candy is a welcome treat. I enjoy wafer treats, so the Roshen wafers from Ukranine is my choice. I haven't had much luck with their produce; I skip them. (FYI: The business uses the Yelp photos to post the latest produce that has arrived, which is perfectly legitimate. But because they don't delete the previous photos, the Yelp photos suggest they may have a bigger produce section than they actually have at a given time. I was confused the first time I stepped in.) The shop is located in a strip mall with plentiful parking. The space is older, which I honestly don't care as long as it is clean. I don't require much service since I only need to pay and go. For me, this store doesn't serve the deli or the produce function in its name. But I do enjoy exploring their different items and choosing something new-to-me to try. That is good enough.

After finishing my meal, I went to the register to pay using my Google Wallet Visa on my phone, just like I always do. My payment went through, the money was immediately deducted from my account, and I received a confirmation notification from Google Wallet. The only problem was that the receipt never printed. The employee helping me tried to troubleshoot the issue and mentioned that this had happened before, but she couldn't remember how it had been resolved. Another employee came over, and the only explanation I was given was that I needed to pay again. Of course I had questions. From my perspective, I had already paid. The transaction had been approved, the money was gone from my account, and I had proof of payment. I showed them both my bank transaction and the Google Wallet confirmation, but no one really took the time to explain why they believed I needed to pay a second time. They just kept repeating that I had to pay again. Eventually they called the owner. I could hear her speaking loudly on the phone before I was handed it. I barely got out a "hello" before she immediately started talking down to me. Her tone was condescending, dismissive, and honestly pretty shocking. Instead of asking what had happened or trying to understand the situation, she immediately became defensive. The first thing she said was, "Well, I don't know what kind of card YOU'RE using, but clearly the restaurant doesn't accept it." It felt like she had already decided I was the problem, when in reality I had simply used the same payment method I always use and had already paid my bill. The frustrating part is that the staff had already acknowledged this had happened before. If she had started the conversation with, "I'm so sorry this happened. We've seen this issue before. Let me explain what's going on and we'll get this figured out," the entire interaction would have gone differently. I would have gladly worked with them to resolve it. Instead, I was met with blame, assumptions, and a really unpleasant attitude. Good customer service is not just about fixing the problem. It's about how you treat people while you're fixing it. A little empathy, an explanation, and a simple apology for the inconvenience would have gone a long way. Again, this review is not a reflection of the staff or the food. The employees were kind and did the best they could with a difficult situation. My disappointment is entirely with the owner's communication and the way she chose to speak to a paying customer. She could benefit from a refresher in emotional intelligence, leadership, and how to de-escalate a situation instead of making it worse.
