Sitting in parking lot writing this....cashier is super RUDE! She's an older brunette in her 40's, maybe early 50's. She did not greet us pleasantly and when we cashed out she didn't greet us at all and shoved my change at me. My hubby and I greeted her nicely both times so I'm going to say she needs an attitude adjustment. Being the first and last person a customer sees, this could lead to stars of 4 and less, like this review. On the other hand, I wish I would have gotten our waitresses name at the bar because she was so fricken awesome that when I said plain French toast she got me!!!! This was our first time here, driving from Ohio to NY, and I didn't realize plain could have been no fruit, nuts, whipped cream, but still powdered sugar (which I hate as an adult) and she had my back-plain, just butter actually. The food is priced average and delicious. Shout out to our waitress though because she made this experience a 4 star!!! read more

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

I could tell as soon as we pulled into the parking lot that the place was busy. Absolutely packed. For a party of 6 for breakfast I was worried. We had to wait 15 seconds while they cleaned a table for us and were seated immediately. Wait staff was friendly and fast, bringing our drinks within minutes. Food came out fast too, and was absolutely delicious. The fries were great, and the kids raved about their eggs Benedict. This place is run like a Swiss watch and everything about it is top notch! I highly recommend it. read more

Great atmosphere, and welcomes all walks of life!!!! The food has deep flavor and the people have even more flavor !

I read so many reviews about this pancake house, I had to come. So I put may foot down and told my husband today is the day. And of course it was packed, because it was Saturday I assume. Oh well, I thought that was a good sign. I ordered chicken and waffles. I thought the wait was a little long but it is fried chicken, that would be longer to cook than lets say bacon. So no problem, I thought. My attitude changed when I started to eat the waffle. It wasn't really hot enough to melt the butter, but again no problem I didn't really need butter. So now I cut into the chicken, it was hot and tasty. This made it all worth it until I cut a little deeper and hit a iceberg. The middle of the chicken was ice cold, like freezer cold. I told the waitress to touch it, and she did and even she couldn't understand how it was possible. I could only assume the chicken was precooked and then put back into the deep fryer when ordered. The waitress ordered another piece of chicken for me, unfortunately when it arrived I had already eaten my waffle. I don't know about anyone else, but I hate eating food in shifts. And for the inconvenience, I would think the waitress would at least offered a cup of coffee or something. This is one time, I should have listened to my husband read more

Great food!!! Every time I go with family, the food is always delicious! Hats off to the cook. Chicken and waffles is great.. anything you order will be great. Very friendly staff and funny. I will continue to go to Compton's Pancake House, best diner around. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

The service was pretty good and food was good as well. The only dislike I had was finding 3 strings of hair in my food.

Pancakes were scrumptious! Very good service. Just a note, alterations/substitutions are additional charges. I will be back as I pass through the area again, looking for a cozy breakfast place read more

OK I have to say they have the best deal in the morning for breakfast for under $5 you get 2 pancakes, toast, hash browns, 2 strips of bacon and sausage and 2 eggs. Not a bad deal at all! The only complaint I have is the owner's yelling! So do not sit by the kitchen because it distracts your dining experience. The service is great, despite them getting yelled at. read more

My husband and I were visiting the Stroudsburg area as a possible place to move to. On our last day, we stopped in Compton's Pancake House. This place is better than IHOP, Denny's, and pretty much any chain breakfast-type restaurant. We both ate for less than $12. And let me tell you... we ate GOOD!!!!! This marked the end of our trip and we decided this area would be perfect for us. Not only is Stroudsburg nice and affordable... but also because it has a place that reminds us of the diners we're used to eating at on Long Island. Bravo, Compton's Pancake House! Bravo! read more

A nice down to earth establishment with great food! The pancakes smell and taste awesome! The omelette was delicious. We all enjoyed our food! Waitresses were very friendly. Only a few minutes from Camelback Mountain. read more

I went with my friends during our PA trip. Wooo.... this place was great. Most of us ordered pancakes (of course) and few of us had steak and french toasts. Funny, one of the guys had two orders, then you can tell how good this place is. Everyone finished their plates and so fulfillment. Also, the strawberry saurce was yummm~~~~~ But too bad this place is little far from me. =[ read more

See all

We won't be going back there ever again!!! We was over charged by almost $20 dollars. The waiter couldn't explain fully why we was charged all these extra fees. I understand the gratuity part, but don't overcharge me. The food was ok....but when you overcharge ppl just understand you just lost us as customers. Waffle house, ihop, perkins, bailey's and even golden corral didn't charge us the amount for a family of 6. I felt like we was taken advantage of....I'm just saying. read more

I have been going to Compton's for years now. The first time i ate from here i was hooked. Not only is there breakfast items mouth watering there prices are fabulous. Wonderful food for a very inexpensive price. There french toast it to die for. There eggs are so good as well. I would tell a friends to eat here if they haven't already. read more

I enjoy the food here so much.. clean and the service is on point. They also give Veteran discounts which is a plus.

Love the food and prices are always great. I just hate hearing the owner scream at the workers.

Omg. This is now my go to place for breakfast in the Poconos! We had Jackie as our server and let me tell you, The service was the best I have ever had anywhere. Jackie was on point for every single detail and was honestly the best waitress I have ever had! Btw, I was a waitress! The food was beyond delicious, cooked perfectly, huge portions and served with a smile. Can't ask for anything other than that! We will definitely be back! read more

The food is usually great but the service really sucks! Bad! Most of the time the women that work there are rude and I can see exactly where it comes from because when the owner's wife is around her attitude is just vile, you can't complain about the smallest thing in the sweetest way because she will still reply unprofessional and unpleasant. I'm sure that negativity spreads to her employees and they seem miserable and snappy most of the time. When we call from the office in the morning to put our orders in, literally no one ever picks up. We tested them one day by walking in and calling to see if the phone rang and the waiter looked at the phone and pressed the end button 3 times!! What is that about?! The booths are usually very dirty and sticky and it's super hot in the place. The lighting is either too much when it's sunny out or too dark. It's very loud and it doesn't help that the waiters are always screaming and seem unhappy most of the time. I just stop coming here and ordering for pick was rarely an option so what's the point? read more

Best pancakes anywhere. Great owner. Weekends are crazy - weekdays the best time to go. Try the grained pancakes and sugar free syrup? Add a a glasss a great glass of their tasty orange juice - nom! Simple setup, occasionally noisy. read more

Fast. Tasty. What more could you want in a pancake house?

The service here is awful. They are so unorganized and unprofessional. Two of us waited for a table for 10 minutes while the hoestess rudely yelled across the restaurant if there was a table for two. While we were waiting, a server asked the manager if she should give the food someone didn't want to the dogs. We finally got sat and waited 20 minutes for our drink order, only to be ignored. Eventually we left, irritated and hungry, because no one ever approached our table. I do not recommend this place. read more

Ok so the advertised special at Great Wolf Lodge room book is very outdated as it said a full breakfast at Comptons was 2.65 per person. Should have known better before we took a drive. It was 4.25 per person. Oh but wait...not clear that we had to also buy a 2 dollar per person drink and so actual cost is 6.25 per person for a decent but not great 2 eggs 2 bacon 2 sausage 2 pancake and hash potatoes and toast and drink (coffee was horrific). Service nice enough. Just ended up spending twice what I had planned but still saved from Great Wolf Lodge breakfast. read more

Let me start by saying I have been to Comptons and have always enjoyed the food. Today's experience was something for the books. After waiting 20 minutes for a table, one of the waitresses locks the doors. Essentially locking all of us in. As people paid they were told "hold on, I have to let you out." Little unsettling if there happened to be an emergency. Another 10 minutes goes by and we are told that they are no longer serving. If you don't have food already, you're not getting food. Then we had to be let out by the waitress. At no point did the owner or manager step in to apologize or explain. This poor waitress was left to deal with unhappy customers as she escorted them out of the restaurant. So we ended up at The Arlington Diner and were pleasantly surprised by the amazing food. The Arlington may have a new regular. The unprofessional behavior of Comptons may not warrant repeat business from us. read more

Our server Jacqueline was the best. Cheerful and Attentive and great with recommendations. We had "Double Triple Play" late breakfast. Huge amount of food with tasty sausage and fluffy pancakes. Coupons are available in many local magazines. Such an incredible value. read more

Compton's Pancake House - Menu shot - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Pretty good food/ service...the really cheap prices is what draws people in.

After hearing good things about Compton's, my husband and I decided to stop here for breakfast. They were extremely busy for a Monday morning. Quickly greeted, self seating, comfortable atmosphere. Pretty straight forward diner fare on with a good variety of pancake options. The pancakes by the way are great! We got banana nut and got chocolate chip. The fried eggs are good, just a little funny looking, and the homefries are plentiful and crispy. Good coffee. The only down side was the wait for food (but they were very busy) and as another reviewer mentioned, the syrup is generic and fake. Gotta go back and try the cheesecake pancakes! read more

The food and our server was excellent. Definitely did not leave there hungry! The only reason I didn't leave a 5 star rating is because when I went to the front to pay the young girl never asked how my breakfast was or said thank you after I paid. Actually she never spoke to me. Being from the south maybe I'm used to southern hospitality! All in all very good place to eat. read more

I loved loved loved this place, came here on Monday with my best friend and ordered the sausage gravy with biscuits. And I can say it reminded me of home. We loved this place so much. Totally worth it!! read more

The food is delicious. Never ate anything I regretted ordering but today I heard arguing from the kitchen that was unacceptable. Cursing, banging, yelling and so on. I asked a waitress what was going on and she said this happens all the time. Apparently the ruckus was management. It was so loud customers were shaking their heads everywhere and the wait staff was walking by unaffected. I can't imagine working under those conditions but staff here does. Food is 4 stars but that loud argument from the kitchen brings it down to 3 stars. Shame on you Compton's read more

Love the food and the portions are big ... the price is great! Pancakes are amazing ! Always crowded and parking is marginal. Great breakfast place! Service can be somewhat interesting at times but the food is sooo worth it! read more

Food was good, service was very good. Why only four stars? They do not use genuine maple syrup, but instead, they use "pancake syrup", which is chock full of chemicals, as it is not a real food. If they start offering pure maple syrup (I don't even mind paying a little extra for it) I will then change my review to add another star. read more

Basic diner-type location, fast service and very inexpensive tasty breakfast. Pancakes have a different taste and smell as soon as they come to the table. Vanilla possibly? Very good meal! read more

Reading all the reviews, we had to come here.... We were not disappointed! I had the Chicken and Waffles - very tasty! The honey flavor went well with the waffles - didn't even need syrup! My wife had the 222 special, it was huge! She said it was all very well done. The service was friendly and the food arrived hot and quick. Can't say enough about this place! Certainly worth the 5-stars! Food was not over priced at all either. read more

Our breakfast was just right. Poached eggs, English muffin and good coffee. Total bill was $13.00 and change. We had a lovely waitress who made sure our coffee was replenished and we appreciated her attention. We had a light conversation about the weather when the "cook" began to scream at her across the restaurant. " Hey, get over here, the food is getting cold. What are you doing over there?" My husband and I were embarrassed for her. She was just serving us coffee, and chatting in a friendly manner. Would he have bullied a male server this way? read more

Traveled from Manhattan for Memorial Day weekend. Party of 8 including 2 toddlers and an infant makes it difficult to enjoy any restaurant, but our breakfast here including steak and eggs, pancakes and waffles really hit the spot, was a good value, and the staff was very friendly. Will most certainly pass by here again next year! read more

Had some great breakfast at Compton's While driving from NYC to the Poconos for a mini-getaway. Judging from the outside appearance, I assumed Compton's would be a run-of-the-mill divey diner, but their friendly service and great food proved otherwise. Their home fries with peppers were remarkable (really), as were the pancackes. We ordered so much food and the bill was pleasantly surprising. We paid about $50 bucks for a table of 8 and we were all stuffed. Compton's is a great option for breakfast when you're on the road. read more

While attending ESU I went here quite often, almost always for breakfast. Very good food with very reasonable prices. Waitresses were always very reasonable and the food never took that long to come out. They are also very good with splitting checks, just make sure you tell them before you order. Close to campus and close to route 80. read more

Surprisingly pretty tasty food. The plates were plentiful and the food tasted good. Would probably go back if I was ever in the area again. Very inexpensive, the only thing I didn't like was the yelling coming from the kitchen. Sounds like they are running a sweat shop back there and every time a waitress was coming out they were swearing and mumbling under their breath. Management really needs to get a grip on the way they act towards their people. It's a shame. read more

Excellent experience.....went there on Father's Day to have breakfast with my daughter....we don't see each other too much so we spent a lot of time catching up....we ordered breakfast ( the meal was delicious) and sat for the better part of 3 hours talking with no push-back from the staff to move on. Great food, great staff... wonderful day. read more

A little of a wait on Saturday morning as not too many options in the area. Service was quick even though the restaurant was filled. Large menu with plenty of pancake choices. Great buckwheat pancakes if you are into a more grainer texture. Simple breakfast done well. read more

Great breakfast special. Substitute French toast for pancakes no extra charge. Will be back.... read more
