We are on vacation in this area and dropped by Compton's because of the great reviews and star rating; however, I was disappointed with the service. Let me start by saying that it was extremely busy so that may or may not have affected some things. Luckily, we sat down within ten minutes. We were given menus but none for kids despite have two children in our group. When asked, the server responded that they didn't have any left but she tried her best to recite the menu. It was very loud in here, so I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone who is noise sensitive or looking for a peaceful meal. The server was just plain RUDE! My partner said "it's an east coast thing". I don't care where you are from, rudeness is rudeness. I order pancakes with whipped cream and with no acknowledgement she continues to take orders so I interject and say "I want whipped cream with my pancakes" her response was rudely, that she had written that down already. Oh but when I get my pancakes, there is no whipped cream! Also, did not get the home fries ordered and my daughters chocolate pancakes were more chocolate than they were pancakes, she couldn't even finish her meal. Overall, I would not return here with kids or during busy time as it seems to interfere with the amount of respect and quality service given. On the positive side, the bus boy was on point, keeping all the tables clean as soon as they were left. The food was good. read more

Compton's Pancake House - Could I get some more pancake with this chocolate? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Hands down the best pancakes in Poconos! Mr. Compton is always nice and friendly and he runs an amazing restaurant.

New York cheesecake pancakes... oh my GOD!!! Very casual place with good food and large portions. A little pricey, but worth it. Can be a long wait on the weekend, but worth it. read more

The food was good but the prices have skyrocketed and the service was horrible. We saw our waitress 10 minutes after getting our food, needing refills well before that. They pre charge a tip so there is no incentive for good service. They also charge a 3.45 % tax if you are paying with a card, on top of the already overpriced food and service charges. I've been going here for decades and it has only gotten worse over the years. I convince myself to return time and time again after terrible service each time and every time I'm reminded why I don't go here anymore. read more

I came here for Breakfast early in the morning on August 8th and it was fairly empty in the restaurant. We were greeted as soon as we came into the establishment by all of the employees. I ordered the Feta Cheese and Spinach Omelette, it came with a side of three Buttermilk pancakes and I ordered a side of 4 sausage links. My husband ordered the Belgian waffle with two scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and bacon. The omelette was kind of dry it could have used some tomatoes or cooked for a shorter amount of time. I asked for caramel to put on top of my pancakes because I was craving sugar. The waffle was your basic waffle - nothing life changing. The bacon was not crispy and lacked flavor which was strange for bacon. We would go there to try something else on the menu. But, we do like the service they have at this establishment. read more

We were sorted right away. I don't give it 5 stars for a couple reasons. The kids menu didn't have many options. I think it was about 5 choices like grilled cheese and 5 silver dollar pancakes. Nothing came with sides or a drink. I also didn't like that more meal options. The positive A lot of pancake options Banana Nut Chocolate chip Buckwheat That's just a few Also the servers were nice. My husband accidentally left his credit card on the seat and another server immediately ran outside and gave it to us which was awesome. We would have been lost without it. All in all a good place to eat read more

Great parking lot. We were seated quickly, although she did mention the wait could have been 20 minutes or less. The waitress was awesome; funny and knowledgeable. Prices are affordable. Food came out fairly quickly. Dinner was FULL. It need a little TOC, but it looked fairly clean. I took one star out because the potato pancakes were a bit on the high levels of salt. Wish I could just take half a star off. But, since that was the only thing I ordered I wanted them perfect.. read more

I've lived in this area for 19 years and never ate here until today. Today was my wife's birthday and she picked this place because they had biscuits and gravy on the menu and that's what she wanted. So let's start the review. Absolutely the worst breakfast food of any diner in the area and way over priced. We both ordered biscuits and gravy. The menu says gravy over biscuits, "biscuits" implies more than one for $9. Nope, what we got was ONE biscuit cut in half and a scoop of home fires. Flavor - There was none. The gravy tasted like thick sugar water with chunks. The home fries were bland and needed tons of salt and pepper to give them any flavor. I also ordered a side of sausage patties. Not for nothing but the value pack of sausage patties at Walmart taste better, these were burnt and had the texture of cardboard. Onto the service, or lack there of. The waitress came to the table and took our order. BTW, our table was dirty when we were seated and no one offered to clean it. I ordered a coffee and water, my wife got a chocolate milk. The waitress dropped them at the table with no straws and before my wife could ask for one the waitress disappeared. We didn't see her again until she delivered the food. By this time my coffee cup was almost empty and she didn't even offer to refill it. She disappeared again and we didn't see her again until she brought the check. Or rather threw the check onto the table and walked away. So to recap. We paid $9 per plate for ONE biscuit covered in something they call gravy and a scoop of home fries. $2.50 for all you can drink coffee, but only had one cup because the waitress never checked on us and $3 for 2 sausage patties that tasted worse than the Great Value brand at Walmart. Total check was roughly about $28. I've eaten better breakfasts with twice as much food for half that price at almost every other diner in the area. Oh and I can't forget the GRAND FINALE, the front row seats we had to a huge verbal fight going on in the kitchen. People yelling, screaming and swearing at each other. It was great (SARCASM). So a big thank you to Compton's for ruining my wife's birthday breakfast. read more

This place was ok. The breakfast was ok and the servers were great, but not a write home about meal.

The food was delicious, and likewise the waitress Jackie was so hospitable ! Great food & great atmosphere.Country Fried Steak read more

We came to the Delaware Water Gap for some hiking and outdoor fun. Before starting our day we wanted a nice breakfast. There was not much in the immediate area of our hotel but overall Compton's looked to fit the bill. A bit no frills/dated decor, don't let that steer you. The staff was warm, friendly, attentive, and inviting. My boyfriend got the Comptons omelet and loved it - stuffed with meats, peppers, onions, and well seasoned home fries. I kept it simple with corned beef hash and eggs. This was because we both also got pancakes with our meals and I was saving room. The pancakes were perfect and lived up to their Pancake House namesake. Fluffy with buttermilk and vanilla and very lightly sweetened. Our server was great and checked in often at appropriate intervals. One thing to make note on a Sunday - we went on the early-ish side around 9:30 am. No problem getting a table. As we were leaving it was definitely filling up. Worth checking out if you're looking for a good breakfast in this neighborhood! read more

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

A lot of good food variety. A few nice servers. The places loses points because it's hard to have a conversation or read the paper there because the servers are shouting at each other from across the restaurant. Not angry, just shouting every thought or question. The hostess talks very loud to everyone and you can hear her all the way in the back. So OK food but way noisier than it needs to be. read more

Best chocolate chip pancakes I've ever had! We also got garden omelet with potatoes and toast with a side of eggs. read more

Delicious everything eggs omelets and pancakes !!!! Everything was yummy!!! My kids both loved their food and they are picky as hell. read more

Maybe because Im from NY there are certain expectations.... before the server comes, you have at least water in front of you. Granted it was a rainy day, however the server came out in socks. They didn't have crayons for the kids menu which was for coloring. It took over 15 minutes to get our coffees and then even longer for our waters. Its supposed to be a pancake house however the pancakes were mediocre. But the good thing is that they're not expensive. Keep in mind they're CASH ONLY. Service can use improvement. read more

They would have gotten 4 stars if not for the fact that we saw 3 employees not wearing masks/wearing them improperly. 1 had his down around his chin, covering neither his mouth or nose. Another had hers under her nose, and a third didn't have one on at all. That said, the food was very good, the prices were excellent, and the service was very friendly (especially our server, who wore her mask correctly the whole time and was very sweet!). read more

You Cannot beat their breakfast special! The coffee here is the worst coffee I've ever had, I rarely have more than 1 cup for breakfast! I'm praying they will change their coffee so we will go there more often but it's still the best place for breakfast! read more

The food was excellent! Came out hot and everything was well seasoned. The pancakes were amazing better than IHOP! The French toast was excellent too! Service was good, fast, and our server Jay was full of personality. We will return before we leave and I will come back next time I visit the Poconos. SN: the music was soooo good I was eating and jamming at the same time! read more

My wife and I came here about 10yrs ago while skiing for the weekend. We went in with zero expectations but was hoping for decent food. I can say this with confidence When I say that this was the best pancake house on the planet, atleast that I've ever had. We came here again yesterday for my daughter's 4th Birthday and again, were NOT dissapointed. ALL 3 of my kids ate all of their food with NO fight at all which never happens. read more

Drove all the way here they were closed - FYI they close at 2pm and not 4pm in a Saturday

Oh my, oh my!! We arrived the one half hour before closing today. Waitress Janine treated us like royalty. Crazy sense of humor. All 4 orders arrived at one time. Coffee cups refilled immediately. Food was "Dyn-O-Mite"! Generous servings. My party of 4 left with doggie bags. We'll Be Back! CJJJ read more

A home run every time! I've been coming to Compton's Pancake House for nearly 18 years. I moved my family from NYC to the Poconos, and we fell in love with this place! Compton (the owner) is always around, he is usually happy and smiling, but sometimes he gets loud with the kitchen staff and waitresses because he demands perfection. I've watched as he has made upgrades to his business over the years (updating the booths, bathrooms, and back room seating area). You can tell he takes pride in his establishment. The waitresses are friendly and attentive. I've asked a couple of them over the years if it bothers them when Compton gets loud? They all have said the same thing, "his bark is worse than his bite". This must be true, because I see the same waitresses year after year. Now let's talk about the food... Affordable prices, hearty portions, and the breakfast special (the double triple play) is out of this world! Also the pancakes are among the best I've had, and they are the best in the area, if you ask me (or my family). If I don't make it there on time for the breakfast special, I will usually order the "Philly" cheese steak omlette. This is the best omlette I've ever eaten! I've had lunch there as well, and never been disappointed. They are not open for dinner. Last but not least, I took my mom there for breakfast on her 80th birthday (she's 92 now and can't get around very well), because she enjoyed Compton's just as much as me. When Compton found out it was her birthday, he made a big fuss over her, and then he took her order off of the bill. My mom still talks about that! Thank you Compton, keep up the good work! See you soon... Al Blagman read more

Food was okay but nothing special. Prices were okay but the service was really slow. Not the nicest or cleanest p lace I've been lately and the staff pretty much didn't seem to care about anything. Bottom line if you just want some food and aren't real picky you'll be okay. read more

My husband and I went there and very disappointed. He ordered his omelet and was asked about toast which he said yes. We got the bill he was charged for the toast as a side, the prices were different (most places would change the price on the menu) they didn't. When I asked I was told that it says prices subject to change. Too cheap to change prices. It's very misleading, if you don't check the bill you don't know it. Also they have signs up saying to save with paying cash. You pay extra for using credit/debit cards. The service was not that good, unless you ask you're not told. The place is not that great, location is ok if you're coming of the interstate but I found many other places much better. read more

It was okay. The food could have been better. It was also very cold where we sat in the back. Half thumb up

Solid breakfast place. I had the spinach feta omelet with a side of pancakes. The pancakes were buttery and fluffy and the perfect way to start the day. My omelet was also big and tasty. My hubs had the eggs Benedict that was cooked perfectly. Their fries are awesome. They are the battered kind which is my favorite. My friends enjoyed their grilled cheese and country fried steak. All in all a good diner with super friendly service. read more

My friends and I were in the area for a girls trip weekend. We tried to go on Saturday, but we went late and the wait was long. We decided to come the next day. On Sunday we came, earlier than the day before. It was still pretty crowded but the wait time was not the bad. Sunday, our experience was good. Our waitress was Ms Jackie and she was very attentive, despite having multiple tables. The food was soo good. We had a variety from French Toast, to Steak and Eggs, to Omelets and Waffles. Everyone was very satisfied. We were SOOO satisfied, we wanted to eat there again before we left. And this is why this place did not get 5 stars. We returned on Monday before departing the area to go home. The restaurant was surely not as busy as the weekend. Initially, we were seated at a table to small for the group size. Once seated, we were not provided with menus. It could be worse right.... Our waitress for this day never introduced herself, tossed silverware our way and said she would be back. We then asked another young lady if we could be moved to a larger table that had just become available to accommodate our party comfortably. She was pleasant, but stated she was not a waitress and ours would be over. The waitress walked passed us over 10times and didn't even bother to ask if we wanted drinks. Another family was seated (at our original table) and she greeted them and provided silverware and took drink orders. At this point, we had been waiting over 15minutes just to get a beverage order in. One lady ib the party, ask if she could at least get a coffee as we waited and the waitress said she was too busy to grab it on the way. One in the party got up and left because of how many times she walked by and stated she was no longer hungry. Another lady in our party stopped the waitress to ask what was the hold up just to order drinks. This nameless waitress stated to my friend, "It's either get yelled at by my manager for not getting this food out or make you all wait and you be mad" Now, once again, the restaurant was not super busy like Saturday or Sunday. Even if it was, I just don't think the waitress should have said that. A simple "please bare with me, I'm a little busy" would have sufficed. And I forgot to mention we left and went to another local diner and a couple that we seen at Compton was there eating as well. they said they waited to be seated for an extended amount of time. Needless to say, the entire party of 5 left without placing a drink order after 40 minutes. I say all this to say -Food is amazing. Prices are great. Some of the service portion can use a little more training. read more

Came here with a group of 8 for breakfast on a Thursday without a reservation. The wait would have been 45 minutes for a table, however Compton's was able to seat us immediately in two booths that were next to each other. Service was a bit slow at first, but the food is worth the wait! The portions are GIANT - I had the garden omelet stuffed with home fries. The omelets usually come with either a side of home fries and toast OR 3 buttermilk pancakes, but I didn't even need those sides since the omelet was so large! The vibe in the restaurant is cute! Very vintage; it feels like you're at a breakfast spot back in the 80's. You also have to try their signature hot sauce - It's DELICIOUS. You can also purchase a bottle of their hot sauce for $3. read more

Compton's is probably my favorite breakfast spot in the Stroudsburg area. Great prices and great food. Most of the staff is friendly. If you're looking for a great deal, Monday through Friday before 11AM they have a huge platter of breakfast for $4.75 for 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 pieces of toast, and home fries. I recommend this place for your breakfast needs any day of the week. read more

This is a typical diner type of restaurant, A place where you are unknown when you come in and leave the same way. The food is just OK and the wait staff makes you feel like they are doing you a favor by being there. Not true - Stroudsburg has plenty of other places to get breakfast or lunch. If you want so so every day fare and a server that could not care less about being there - then I would recommend you try it. read more

Went here for breakfast with a group of 8 people. They said it would be about a 45 mins wait but suggested that we could sit at two tables of four next two each other and then they would be happy to sit us. Food was excellent! Giant omelets stuffed with a filling of your choice. Beautifully cooked chicken and waffles and a mouthwatering homemade hot sauce that you can buy bottles of for $3!!!! Highly recommended. read more
