I'm a fan of Colonial Pancake House! Williamsburg has a lot of pancake and brunch places, but Colonial Pancake is my favorite out of them all. The food here is simple, fresh, delicious, and all served with a smile! Their menu has various breakfast house specialties, eggs & omelet dishes, breakfast sandwiches, French toast & waffles, and, of course, pancakes. I am a fan of their Banana Nut Pancakes, as the pancakes are filled chock-full of southern pecans, topped with some more, and generously covered with sliced fresh bananas. Every bite is guaranteed to have pecans and bananas - YUM! The service here is super welcoming, friendly, and very kind. The restaurant also has comfortable booths and super clean! Plenty of parking in their private lot in the rear. +delicious pancakes! +friendly service! +free parking in the rear read more

Place was just ok for me. The feel- needs some updating, it feels like the place is shooting for a 1700 time period. Which is fine, but not my twist. The Service- Just ok. Nothing ththat really stood out. If I had to pick one, ghe waitress answered our questions. Most of the time I didn't see them patrolling tables. I did however see them outback smoking on my way to the car! The Food- for Williamsburg, the scrapple was good! The scrapple omlette was good. The potatoes need some work. Very dry and need some city love. Biscuits and Gravy is not your Mother's, Grandmother's, or Greatgrandmothers! More like your first time making them. Maybe next time I'll keep it simple and grab some pancakes. read more

First, the food was ok. The pancakes were a little in taste. The eggs were fine. We didn't find anything four star and above. The service was efficient and pleasant. You can tell this a favorite of tourists. read more

Our family spent spring break in Williamsburg and tried out the Colonial Pancake House on our first day. We never tried any other breakfast spot as we were hooked. All three of us tried something different each day. Everything was cooked fresh, tasted great, and was quick. All of our servers were fantastic. The building is very clean and inviting. We would recommend here to anyone in the area that is in the mood for fabulous breakfast food. We especially recommend the pancakes and the biscuits and eggs with country ham. read more

Colonial Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

If you're able and willing to wait, what a great experience. Incredibly good service (from the host - who juggled a busy holiday morning - to the waitress to the busers), delicious, straightforward diner style breakfast and a good price. Eggs cooked exactly as ordered for everyone. We had biscuits and gravy, fried eggs, very berry pancakes packed with blueberries, turkey sausage, crispy bacon. Fresh hot coffee and tea. (Saw they do have cold brew coffee available.) A great experience, highly recommended. read more

Pancakes had an artificial taste and weren't fluffy. Syrup was thin, the consistency of water. Chicken strips (for the chicken and waffles) were the frozen kind and not homemade. Eggs were good. Sausage links and coffee were fine. Server was friendly and efficient. read more

I'm giving 3 stars for portion size. I received a normal size pancake and hidden under the top pancake looked like a Replica Mini. When I lifted the pancake to put butter on it, I saw that it was almost half the size of the top pancake. The pancakes are thin and not very filling. As for the taste, they were good, but nothing to brag about. Service was fast, and the waitress was attentive. I'll be looking for a different next time. read more

There are a lot of Pancake Houses here in Williamsburg! I am not able to have gluten so I normally would not go to one. I saw that they had a gluten free menu, so I was excited to give it a try, especially seeing the reviews from gf people. It is a cute place, nothing fancy, but more of an old time pancake place. I really liked the appearance, and perfect for Williamsburg! I had the pancakes and potatoes. The pancakes were good. Keep in mind, the ones I had were gluten free, so a little drier than a regular pancake, but still good. Now the potatoes, those were amazing! They were thinly sliced and just delicious. Great breakfast spot and if you are gluten free, this will be the best one for you! read more

Really cool down home spot. Greeted at the door by friendly staff and seated immediately. Appreciated that on a Sunday morning. Menu was pretty simple and that was cool too. The food was just ok. Not the best but not the worst. The pancakes and waffle were spongy. Didn't have that homemade batter consistency. Food really reminded me of what you would get at iHOP. I expected a little more based on the reviews but I honestly don't see the high review. read more

Delicious food all round and the staff is very friendly! Will definitely go again whenever I'm back in the area.

It was what it claimed to be but felt a little cold. Food was ok. My wife didn't care for her breakfast and I wish she would have allowed me to speak up while there read more

We had good service and good food before heading out to our day in Colonial Williamsburg. I had eggs with bacon, home fries and biscuit with sausage gravy. I liked their home fries, sliced like scalloped potatoes and the biscuit and gravy was delicious. read more

We arrived and were told a 20 minute wait. About 10-12 minutes in our table was ready. Our server showed up immediately and took our drink orders. We ordered our breakfast and it was delicious, I like my eggs cooked very specifically and they did a great job. We never felt rushed even though there were people waiting. And they give a military discount which is always appreciated. read more

Colonial Pancake House was sooo good! I randomly stumbled upon this place while in Williamsburg and I am so glad I did! It was a busy morning, but the wait time wasn't too bad and the service was wonderful! The food was even better! I got the Colonial breakfast which also came with pancakes or French toast. I opted for the French toast w/ bananas. And they did not disappoint! I will definitely be returning. read more

Colonial Pancake House - Sign - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

First time here, during our visit to Williamsburg. Wanted to try out the local eateries, we were lodging at Great Wolf Lodge, and wanted to get some breakfast nearby. This place seems like a local favorite. It is 10 mins away from Great Wolf Lodge, has ample parking. First impression when we walked in, cute Farmhouse Country interior, lots of cute rustic rooster decor, clean, lots of seating - tables & booth seating. We tried the Colonial Breakfast (2 Eggs, 2 Bacon, 2 Ham, 2 sausages, pancakes, and your choice of home fried potatoes or grits), Corn Beef Hash & 2 eggs w/side of Home Fried Potatoes, French toast & side of strawberries. Although we enjoyed the ambiance, the food was just ok for a quick breakfast, coffee wasn't strong or flavorful, was a bit pricey, wouldn't come back again. read more

Visited the Colonial pancake house this morning. Very quaint little place. Decorated perfectly for colonial Williamsburg. The food was great and plentiful. Everyone we were in contact here was very courteous and helpful. Would definitely recommend! read more

Service was friendly and fast! Food servings were really good. My husband took a star off for lack of seasoning on sausage and potatoes. The rest of us enjoyed our meal greatly. We came because it had 4+ stars and they definitely earned it. Ate too fast to take pictures' read more

They are a well oiled machine. It was so busy on a holiday weekend yet it was only a 15 min wait. They had amazing food (better than the typical pancake house), homemade biscuits were to die for. We were in and out so quick! Homey feel, nice staff and good food. read more

We weren't impressed. We understood Williamsburg to be the pancake capitol of the world. This restaurant is located near the historic district, but we felt it missed the mark. We ordered the colonial breakfast that was large enough to share. The eggs and grits were very good. The bacon quality was poor, and the Virginia ham slice was very small. The pancakes were not spectacular. It's a cute atmosphere, the staff are attentive, and the prices are reasonable. It was not crowded on a Wednesday morning. read more

duper yummy banana pancakes and berry pancakes, the waiter was duper nice too and its very cute and decorated

Went here during the William & Mary family weekend. Slight wait early Saturday but got seated in less time than we were told. They have a pretty standard classic breakfast menu. Pancakes are great. Scrambled eggs were great as well. Service was good and good fantastic. Will be back. read more

We stay at Colonial Williamsburg every six months for a week .Have been going to this breakfast place for many years , simply the best breakfast in the area . Always look forward to it . read more

Great, family-friendly breakfast option with all of your classic breakfast favorites. Our orders included chicken fried steak, french toast, and one of the kids options. We all enjoyed the food, which came out quickly, was served hot, and the server was attentive while managing a busy day. There was a bit of a wait the morning we visited, but the host's estimate for the wait was pretty accurate, and there were spaces to hang out outside while we waited. The restaurant was surprisingly clean, including the decorations and other things hanging in the area. The prices felt like a bit of a throwback, very modest for eating out these days! read more

10/10 reccomend!! Best waffles and eggs i ever had, ordered take out and the wait time was 15 mins and food was hot and fresh. I went back and sat inside. It was a crowded Sunday morning nonetheless we waited 10 mins to be seated and waited about 7 mins and our food was at our table. Great service and family oriented ambiance. read more

Delicious. Yummy. Flavorful. Mouthwatering. Heavenly. So glad we found this place during our trip to Williamsburg. The breakfast, the staff, the flavor, all of it was amazing! Chris was our waitress. She ensured us that we would love everything and that she would take great care of us. We didn't have a pleasant experience the day prior at Honeybutter. We will definitely be returning. Stop looking for breakfast places and go here! read more

The service was fast and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and the portions were generous.

Great breakfast! Fast turn in the tables, so the wait time goes very quickly. That so many lines caps come here hinted that it was good. Sitting down and eating solidified that! Very friendly wait staff and not that expensive. read more

Really good food and decent prices. Inside is nice and clean. Our waitress was great.

Incredibly impressed with the quality of the food here, WOW. First thing I noticed was that they used real bacon (or at least cooked it well) compared to other restaurants that use that cheap floppy bacon. I got a bagel breakfast sandwich which was perfect, exactly what I needed. I also had the biscuit with gravy which was delicious! The waitress wasn't necessarily memorable but she did her job and didn't make a single mistake. She was also quick to get us any items we asked for, such as hot tea which I didn't order when she asked us for drinks. I can image she's worn out as the restaurant was PACKED and it opened at 7AM that day. We arrived at 12 and had a 30 min wait which was totally fine but definitely telling of their exceptional food and service. read more

Service was good and food was generally OK, but not worth the wait. I didn't think it was any better than any of the other pancake houses nearby, and I like the pancakes better at ihop (goes for all the pancake places I tried during my recent trip). read more

Well let me start by saying this place is fantastic. I was in Williamsburg for a week and out of that week I had breakfast there 4 times and not because it was close to where I was staying. I actually ordered the same breakfast all 4 times. The Colonial breakfast but I did request Blueberry pancakes instead of regular. If I'm ever in Williamsburg again I will definitely go back. read more

Food and service was amazing!!! Great pancakes and loved the salty and Virginia ham .
