Finally able to just walk in instead of waiting in line for over an hour. This place lived up to its reputation. Big portions, fluffy and light pancakes, scrambled eggs cooked to perfection ... This was Vanessa's (the waitress) last week too after several years on the job. Too bad too, she is fun and cheerful -- good luck at your new job! Parking is limited. Pancakes with strawberry's is yumm-o! read more

Compton's Pancake House - Good coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

I opted in for the Double "Triple Play" which included 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 strips of bacons and homefries with white toasts for $4.95 with the purchase of all you can drink coffee for $2.49. The bill was less than $10 and my belly was extremely satisfied. Plenty of parking spots and super friendly staff members. I will definitely come back to try their special pancakes! read more

Compton's Pancake House - All this was $10 including tip. Very satisfying. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Their menu doesn't have clear pricing! It was very unexpected to receive much higher bill then expected. They say that prices are higher on Saturday and Sunday but weekend prices are not listed anywhere in the menu. You can only guess what it would be... for example the dish I expected to pay $5.20 cost me around $9. If they have different pricing on a weekend and week days they must have two separate menus, but pricing must be clear. This is illegal not to list a clear pricing! read more

Been going there since it opened and still go there today great food treat you like family

Will never eat here again. The place is too busy and does not care about customer service. They serve breakfast food that is good but would not say is the best I've ever had. As a former breakfast restaurant owner I know that breakfast food is easy to make. When I mentioned that there was a nondisclosed $2.25 charge for adding chocolate chips to my pancakes I got an attitude and accused of trying to get stuff for free and not wanting to pay for what was eaten. I travel with my large family and just the day before had eaten at another local breakfast place that was just as good. After receiving the bill yesterday I added a 25% gratuity because the place was friendly and accommodating. I did not add anything to the 18% that was already placed on my bill today. read more

Great place to go for breakfast! It was recommended to me by the hotel I was staying at. Service was fast, the staff was very friendly, and the price is reasonable. I had a country omlete and coffee, it was excellent!Compton 's Pancake House read more

Ok, there are lines for this place and so worth it! They have great service and the food! Sigh. It's all good and when I go I just want to hand the menu back and say yes, one of everything please. I have one request though. The front of house wear t-shirts that read live, love, pancakes. Sell them! I want one! read more

I suggest that you skip the corny hotel breakfast and make your way down here instead. The prices are so cheap and the food is delicious. For one they use real eggs and the people who work here are so friendly. My server was Susan. So nice and helpful and she checked up on us often which is greatly appreciated. For the price you pay you get good quality I will definitely be returning. read more

Good food and service, but beware of prices. I found this restaurant advertised in a Pocono menu magazine. Found something I knew my daughter would enjoy... breakfast sandwich special $3.99. Got the the restaurant and was handed a recently printed menu. Sandwich was $4.69. Got the bill and it was $5.50. Server laughed and said... I told the owner that everyone will complain. Ask for prices beforehand and don't expect them to accept your coupons. read more

The owner is very rude to customers and the staff. I felt super uncomfortable while eating my meal to the point I couldn't even finish it. It is a terrible work environment and I feel bad for all of the employees! read more

The owner was very rude to his employees in front of the whole restaurant. Cursing in front of everybody, children included. It created a very uncomfortable situation for all of the customers and we felt very unsettled. read more

I liked this place. We went there for a late breakfast on a Saturday. It doesn't look like much from the outside but looks can be deceiving! We went with a group of five people and were seated very quickly. The waitress came to the table quickly, got our drink order l and then returned with the drinks quickly. We got all different things from eggs Benedict to pancakes & eggs to a BLT. Everything was very good. If I ever go back to East Stroudsburg I would definitely come back! read more

Compton's is very good! I'm normally not a breakfast person, but whenever I think of hot pancakes or fresh omelettes, I always think of here. The service is great, although can get a little backed up. Especially on weekends, which I don't blame them! The food is just to die for, I absolutely love this place. Would definitely recommend if you're passing by or CRAVING breakfast food. read more

La comida estaba regular, la espera fue larga a pesar de que nos sentaron de una vez que llegamos.

I moved up to PA from NYC 3 years ago but before that my girlfriend had already moved up here from the city about 5-6 years prior and I've always been up here a lot. One day she and my daughters were talking about going to Compton's because the food was so good along with great prices and I've been coming there ever since. But..... Recently, about a month ago, I suddenly had the urge to order the country fried steak with sunny side up eggs and man, I gotta tell y'all that I am so mad at myself for not ordering this sooner because I can't stop eating it. It has become ritualistic at this point because every time I go, that's all I seem to want. I can go to Perkins where I live and get the same thing but the thing that stands out more than anything besides the food is the atmosphere and the customer service that's worth the journey. Even though we're no longer together, as best friends we still go there to have good food and chop it up every other weekend. Thanks to you and your staff for making this such a cool experience every time we go. In fact..... I'm waiting on her now so we can come thru today!!! (I see why this place is always packed whenever we come here!!!) read more

I loved the cozy feel of the restaurant, and parking was a breeze. Food wasn't bad either.

First, let me say we had breakfast here twice before and the food and service were good. So, when we were planning for our post-wedding breakfast in the area, we thought it would be cute and kitschy to do it at Compton's so that our guests could have a great diner breakfast before they headed out of town. Plus, we loved their slogan "Peace, Love & Pancakes." Cute, right? So, I talked to the owner, Compton, ahead of time to arrange for a party of 40-50 people to come in on Labor Day Monday at 9:30am. I requested use of the back room, even offering to pay a rental fee, but he would not accept this offer on account of the holiday. He did say he would reserve the space for 50 people to dine, however, in that room, with the understanding that any un-filled tables would have other diners at them. I did not ask for special pricing but he offered me a deal for $10 per person to have their "double triple play" breakfast, which includes eggs, choice of breakfast meat, potatoes, pancakes (or French toast) + he included coffee/tea/soda. This breakfast usually costs $4.95 M-F and $10.95 on weekends/holidays. So, fine, I think we're all set. This is where everything goes awry... after our beautiful wedding weekend, we arrive at Compton's for breakfast on time just before our guests arrive, and everyone seems to be confused. The back room is over half full with other diners. The waitresses are running around screaming that they didn't know anything about our party coming in. As our guests were arriving, I was just trying to get them seated somewhere, which for many meant sitting at un-bussed tables. The waitresses continued to scream and be super rude to my guests, making them feel unwelcome. There were long waits to get food and coffee orders. The waitresses did not know about the deal we had worked out and gave everyone menus without explaining that they were to order the double triple play, so I was trying to go around and tell people. Then, they were giving my guests their own checks and I found out that a couple people went up to pay on their own before I knew this. I was clear that I would be paying a single check for this party, but there I was coming around scooping up my guests' checks from their tables. Then, to add to all of the extremely rude servers walking around screaming things like "nobody's in charge," "get out of my way" (to both my guests and to other employees), Compton himself comes and says that we have to eat and go because he has people waiting. Almost all of my guests had already eaten and gone, and the others had just gotten their food and were finishing up. I did have one family that came late and was just ordering, so my bad for allowing them in late, but it was my sister on the day after my wedding so I didn't think she deserved to be turned away! In any case, when I left the restaurant, it was 10:45am and my sister's family was the only remaining part of my party there, and they were waiting for their food at the time (not just hanging out, taking up a table). I can't believe we were made to feel like we were taking up space we shouldn't have been in, being that 1) I offered to pay extra for the space, 2) a party of 51 people were all in and out (minus my sister) in an hour and fifteen minutes (not bad!), and 3) in the end I DID end up paying extra because though he offered a deal, my check came out to $642. I don't know how $10 a person, with 51 people (including me, who never got to order, and two of my guests who ended up paying their own bill before I knew about it) comes out to $646. I asked them if that included gratuity just because the price was so high and they said no. There was so much attitude and chaos that I really just wanted to leave so I didn't fight it. Then they surprised me with the fact that they were only accepting cash that day (They have an ATM that only lets you take out $200 at a time, so good thing my mom was carrying extra cash on her!)! In the end, I paid it in cash, and gave the lady taking the money at the front $100 to give to the servers for a tip. This was a roughly 16% tip when I normally tip EXTREMELY generously (sometimes as much as 50% or more when I feel I got good service). This should tell you just how badly we were treated. They really deserved nothing because their behavior was SO bad (there are NO WORDS truly to even convey it!). Interestingly, my sister called us 30mins later and said that the waitresses were yelling at them saying we didn't leave a tip, when in fact we did. I was MORTIFIED that I planned this "fun" experience for my guests, where they all felt uncomfortable the entire time. The food was fine, but Not good enough to be treated this way! I'm so sorry that I ever brought my patronage their way! Get out if the service industry or get it together, Compton! Out of "Peace, Love & Pancakes," the only thing we got was Pancakes from your establishment on what was a very special weekend for us :(. read more

Found a blond hair in my food and the Latin older female manager made a joke of the situation in front of the guest and the staff. Saying "it could of been from my guest!!" and to be happy I got 3.89 off of an total 18 dollar bill, almost excusing us; a short black hair male and brunette female of placing the hair there. I am beyond offended... I always patronized this business, it was my go to spot. but from this experience, my friends and I will never be come back. So disappointed, with the lack of maturity, professionalism and respect displayed today. P.s it was never about the money, if it was we wouldn't of tipped ($5) which is more then the insulting discount. It's about the principle and customer service/treatment read more

Uncaring and unkind. On a road trip and my 4 year old daughter had a bathroom emergency and there isn't one for miles. I ran in and was repeatedly told I had to buy something to use the bathroom so I just left. I know that a lot of businesses have this policy, but sometimes it's like have a heart it's and emergency. This world sucks. read more

This place was recommended to us by Holly at Camelback Resort. It was about 10 minutes from the resort. My family and I were staying their for the weekend. I have a large family of 8 so we decided to go somewhere affordable but good for breakfast. We were drawn to the place mainly because of the "triple double " ad we had seen which consists of 2 pancakes, 2 eggs,2 sausage links, 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of toast and hash browns...for the great price of 4.95 with an order of a beverage. Keep in mind this price is only M-F, we went on Saturday but it was still a reasonable price about $7. My fellow Yelpies (I'm going to make that a thing like my homies on Yelp...get it) let me tell you !! The food was DELICIOUS ! Like this ain't ya regular breakfast it was so flavorful, the pancakes were so moist( better than any Ihop)The potatoes were seasoned to perfection.And to top off the amazing breakfast....the best taste was the hospitality!! I love great treatment and we definitely received that here! When we entered it was Hi's and hello's coming from everyone who walked near us. We were greeted by this energetic women. She welcomely greeted us and when we told her party of 8 she went in the back made her staff know and they made some adjustments in the back for us to sit. We were told the wait was about 20 Minutes and that it was. They had enough seating on the side for ALL of us to wait. At this point you should already be in the parking lot after reading my review and don't worry if your in a rush they do online ordering. I'm so jealous PA I wish I had a local gem like this near me in NY read more

Had breakfast here with my siblings before we headed home from a family event. The staff were all very friendly. Lots of things on the menu to choose from. Portion sizes were just right for us. Several of us had the pancakes which were light and fluffy. While there were things on the menu with large portions, we were grateful to have a lot of selections that left us satisfied. Obviously this place is popular with the locals. Prices were very reasonable. Would go there again if I ever have the opportunity to go to this area in the future. read more

Apparently a truck overturned on I80, so my family and I made a detour past Compton's pancake house. We stopped for gas next door and the employee smoking cigarettes outside informed me that he didn't have a bathroom. He told me to go next door. This brought me to Compton. Not Compton CA but Compton's expensive bathroom. See, the woman in her thick jersey accent, told me that I had to buy a drink to use her toilet. That would just make me have to pee more. I didn't have any money on me, so I left and peed on a tree outside in the rain. As I sat in our van, I saw my wife and son leaving compton pancake house with a coffee. To my dismay, she paid to pee. My daughter sort of had to pee and I felt a bowel movement coming on. My daughter and I went back to use the toilet on my wife's dime. The bathroom was moderately clean. The toilet seat was standard but not really comfortable. They did have hand soap. The mirror was dirty, but the paper towels were stocked. The coffee was probably better at the gas station next door, but the real draw was the toilet. My five year old says it was clean enough to pee in again. 3/5 star bathroom. read more

We came as a group to Compton's Pancake House for a delicious brunch and it did not disappoint. Everyone in our party (4 of us) ordered an omelette with a side of pancakes that comes with it. The Compton's Stuffed Omelette was on point with every savory bite as well as the Colorado Stuffed Omelette. We literally felt like we were in heaven and then fell into a deep food coma right after. It was well worth it. The wait was about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all! There are reviews on here about the waitresses, but honestly that's just the vibe of the restaurant. If you don't get it, you won't get it. But you come to Compton's Pancake House for the food, not the judgement of the staff. So there ya have it! Stop by if you're in the area and you will thank me later! Also, cash only! read more

Reason they are getting a 2 and not a 1 is because we didn't try any food! Restaurant was clean and hostess was friendly! My daughter and I stopped on our way home from Dad's Camp 2017 at Mt. Pocono. Place was busy but nothing crazy and we were sat immediately! Seemed promising as we saw several meals on tables, also a woman came hustling out of the kitchen with a loaded tray of meals. She was very pleasant but little did we know this would be the last time we had interaction with the staff! We sat for 10 minutes, watched a couple tables get sat and greeted than decided to leave! read more

I actually passed this place on my way to Friendly's. And I'm so happy the heat was not working there, and we exited and came here to try it for the first time. There is so much more than meets the eye here. From the outside it seems like a small place, that your unsure about. However, It's actually pretty big on the inside, it stretches all the way back. The food and the service was very good. Eggs delicious, bacon cooked right and flavorful, I had the New York cheese cake pancakes and my husband's meal came with potatoes, which were seasoned perfectly. I previously lived in the Poconos for 10 years, and I was sad that this was my first time. On my trips back to the Pocono to visit, I'll be stopping here, again and again. read more

Good breakfast food! We had various combinations of eggs and pancakes. Eggs over medium cooked just right and omelette nice and dense. The bacon was terrific, thick and flavorful, and again, cooked just right. The star deduction (from five) is for extra fees added to credit card purchases. A lot of places seem to be doing this lately, and I can't really blame them as processing fees are high and business are trying to cut costs to survive. But it's still an inconvenience that I don't want to see. Just raise your prices a little bit to cover it and we'll all probably be happier. I'd eat here again. read more

Great food and huge portions. Lovely waitress. The credit card machine was down when we were there and had been for some time because there were laminated signs up, but they do have an atm. Very pleased overall. read more

Outdoor breakfast was quite good. Prices and food quality were excellent. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the wait for a table on a Sunday morning and service that could be a little faster. read more

I also experienced the employee ill behavior. Waitress delivered coffee and said she would come back after taking another table seated before us. Yes, no problem here except she never comes back. After about 5 minutes from the time she finishes with the other table, I have to finally find her and ask if she would take our order as promised. The food, when finally delivered, has under-cooked over easy eggs which is not my first time, but I have to leave a significant portion of the whiles and end up with just two yokes in the end. The whole thing has been cooked with some weird oil (maybe rancid) and is also on the toast. So the yokes and sausage is all that is edible. My wife said the pancakes were OK... tough to screw up pancakes, but I didn't taste them so not sure they were cooked in the same oil. read more

Found this place on Google and was happy I did. There tagline is Peace Love and Pancakes. Certainly felt the love and the pancakes were delicious, however with the fussing going on in the kitchen, didn't feel the love. However I would surely go back. The servers were friendly and attentive. read more

I came here for a redo at the owners request. I have to say his response to my review was very respectful and genuine. He seemed to be upset that I didn't catch Compton's at its best and invited me to come back and give it another try. Before my food even came, I already had a great experience. Our waitress (Jay) was so nice and friendly. She remembered our order without writing anything down which I always find impressive. Now the food ... The french toast was excellent! At the owner's request, I tried the pancakes. I don't normally go for pancakes as I prefer french toast, but it was really good. My previous review mentioned that the home fries were too soft so I asked for them to be crispy. They were cooked perfectly to my liking. My brother ordered the chicken sausage so I tried some. If you're looking for a healthy alternative, they taste really good. I was surprised how much I like them. Well ... that takes care of all the sides we ordered (yeah, we went a little overboard). My main dish was the steak and eggs while my brother ordered the cheesesteak stuffed omelette. The eggs were cooked exactly how I like them. I tend to gauge a steak's flavor on whether or not I need to add steak sauce. Obviously, if I need steak sauce, then the steak had no flavor. This was not the case. The steak was actually seasoned well and cooked to the temperature requested. My brother's omelette was phenomenal. The combination of the meat, peppers, onions, cheese, and home fries stuffed inside was delicious! This was definitely a big difference from my first experience. Way to go Compton and now I completely understand why this place is a local favorite! read more

This place was very family friendly, not only did they have the world cup games on but they had games to keep the kids busy while waiting for our food such as "Smash an Ant", and the "Treasure Hunt" to find the hair in the creamers. And if that wasnt interesting enough the sticky tables just sold me on this place! read more

Very good in and out great service great prices this place is ran like well oiled machine highly recommended!!

This IHOP lookalike was an awesome find as an on the way to or fro the Poconos. We happen to drive 30 minutes from our stay at Skytop on our way home. Nevertheless, its charm lies in its local, small town charm and commitment to helping you score a 'Triple Double'... something like 2 pieces of 3 kinds of meat with your eggs. You will notice half the menu is specials. There are a ton of ways to enjoy breakfast, many of which afford you a short stack of the popular pancakes here. The NY Cheesecake style cakes were a winner. For those NY snobs like me, there are no espresso drinks, except powdered cappuccino, but the house coffee is robust and tastes much better. I opted for the Chicken Cheesesteak omelette which would've been more satisfying without potatoes in the omelette. I'm not sure how they made it in there, but with a side of homefries included it seemed like a starch party. The homefries were cooked well, though I would've liked more onions and maybe some peppers. Speaking of, do yourself a favor and ask for a bottle of Compton's homemade pepper sauce. With its chunky scotch pepper texture mixed in with a little ketchup was the perfect accompaniment to the eggs and homefries. If I were staying closer, this would've been my daily breakfast spot. Two of us were stuffed for under $20 with a bottle of Compton's Pepper Sauce to go! The service was friendly so I would definitely be back any time I'm crossing through the area. read more

We had a wonderful breakfast! The food was great the service was wonderful. Would go back any time we visit the poconos

Best service and food..I love Compton's pancake house and the owner is such a sweetheart Highly recommend everyone to eat here read more

I love coming here. I always get their banana Walnut pancakes. Always hit the spot great. I look forward to my next visit.

We were in the area last week during the holiday weekend. Decided to go to Compton based on the mostly good reviews. Got there around noon and there was a slight wait for a table...about 15 minutes. No big deal. We were seated and waitress asked us what we would like to drink. We kept it simple-coffee and orange juice. Waitress disappeared and came back about 15 minutes later to take our order. We still hadn't gotten our coffee. About 10'minutes later most of our order came out ( she told my girlfriend that they messed up her pancakes and were making new ones......messing up pancakes at a pancake house) finally pancakes came out we ate paid bill and left. It was very busy and food was good, maybe just an off day for the server. read more
