    As alwaus, a pleasant visit. I got the vegan breakfast quesadilla. Delicious. My cup of coffee kept flowing and I appreciated that. My kiddo got the silver dollar pancakes, those things were huge haha. Kiddo took the rest to go. Great place for a family breakfast.

    I was craving some serious breakfast carbs, so we decided to go to Maywood Pancake House. With 'pancake' in its name, I was expecting them to slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap. We walked in on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately in a comfortable booth. The interior is clean, bright, and cozy with a very local feel. The servers were attentive and welcoming. They have a small, but simple menu. It's nothing like your obnoxiously mile-long menus at your typical Jersey diners. The breakfast options include pancakes, french toast, omelets, and waffles. Lunch options include burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and salads. We were pleasantly surprised by the prices! They are verrrrrrry reasonable. I only came here for one thing and one thing only.... PANCAKES!!! I thought they were going to have a lot more options (kinda like Brownstone Pancake Factory), but they stuck to the basics. I ordered the Berry Merry Pancakes($11.49) with a side of sunny side up eggs ($1.75). My plate came out with four fluffy pancakes topped with strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream. My little self was able to finish the whole plate. I would rate them a 3 out of 5. They were just your average pancakes you can probably make at home with fresh fruits. My +1 ordered two scrambled eggs, home fries, turkey sausage, toast, and two blueberry pancakes. He was satisfied with his meal. No complaints. In conclusion, it's a decent spot to grab some brunch if you're in the area, but nothing special to rave about. The cheap prices are the selling point.

    Great service. Upon entrance I was greeted by a friendly hostess who sat us right away. Our server was attentive and made sure to give us enough time to decide what we wanted. Coffee was great , unlimited refills. Food was decent nothing too memorable but def filling and satisfying. This is a place to stop by with family or even a casual date.

    Tofu scramble. Yum!

    I'm a regular. A regular regular lol. And I never have a bad here so my reviews might be boring. BUT today there was a turkey club special!!! I don't think I've ever seen a turkey club special and it was yummy!!! I hope they do it again and again!!!

    Local diner, local feel and decent food. In what seems like forever, it just kept calling and calling me every time I was in the Maywood business district, but, not once did I give into temptation (especially with Pancake in their name) .... until a random Wednesday early afternoon. We strolled into what we thought was going to be a relatively empty restaurant on a very warm and nice August summer weekday, but boy were we wrong. This diner/pancake house was buzzing, mostly with the elderly from the community, but it was chirping. Thankfully, even though the restaurant doesn't look that big inside, there were still quite a few tables available for us to sit down at despite the action. First off, love the decor. The restaurant was clean, the paint was fresh-looking and it just had a very comforting home feel to it. Second, service was excellent throughout. Our waitress was attentive, came by to check on us when she could and the food was served very, very promptly. As for the menu, as the name suggests, pancakes are the star of the show. Yes, they serve other breakfast items like waffles, French toast, breakfast sandwiches, skillets, benedicts and omelets and also some lunch too, but the menu was not overwhelming like most diners. It's relatively simple with a heavy emphasis on the pancakes, so it boded really well for a professional menu item flip flopper like me. My better half ended up ordering the Huevos Rancheros and I went with the Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes, which apparently, according to the waitress, was by far the most popular pancakes. Verdict? Good food. Solid. I tried a bit of the Huevos Rancheros and, first, I loved the presentation. It was plated very neatly and it wasn't a huge dish, but looked delectable. I especially loved the Chorizo and the flavor of it. The home fries/potatoes and eggs were good too, but nothing out of the ordinary. As for the Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes, I have to admit, I'm a bit of a pancake snob. I've had my fair share of pancakes in life from renowned pancake restaurants in NYC like Clinton Street Baking Company (at least a dozen times), Sunday in Brooklyn and Cafe Luluc and those are the measuring sticks in my life for pancakes. And I really wanted to love Maywood Pancake House, but, unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of it. My wife thought it was OK, but it was way too sweet for my tastebuds. The portion was very generous with 4 huge pancakes, but the pancakes were crumbly. Every time I stuck my fork into it to grab a bite, it would just fall apart and turn into crumbs, so I didn't like that. It needed to be more solid and less sweet. There was way too much chocolate sauce on it too. Like I said, it's a nice comfortable, cozy restaurant. Great service by the staff and loved the atmosphere inside. Unfortunately, I was split on the food. The Huevos Rancheros was a winner for me, but the Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes were a real bummer and if you're going to be called "Pancake House" the pancakes have got to rock. Maybe a revisit will bring a different experience with different pancakes?

    My friends and I love coming here on Sundays. They have vegan options (the friends I come here with are vegan). I love the decor here ! Food is tasty, too!!! They're busy on weekends, so just be patient. They're very attentive and helpful.

    This morning, I embarked on a delightful culinary adventure at the charming Maywood Pancake House, located at 150 West Pleasant Avenue, Maywood, New Jersey. Known for their warm welcomes and a menu that feels like a hug on a plate, this local gem never fails to impress. Today's breakfast choices were a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. I savored the "Two Eggs Your Way," paired with their homemade corned beef hash--a dish that sings with flavor and comfort. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the corned beef hash had that nostalgic, home-cooked taste that made my heart skip a beat. It was hearty and satisfying, although I couldn't quite wrap my head around the hash browns that accompanied it. Why the extra spuds when the corned beef hash was already on the plate? A curious choice, but hey, I'm not complaining when the food is this good! Honestly, I'd love to see those potatoes mixed right into the hash for an extra burst of flavor. Next up was the "Full Monte," a delightful dish featuring poached eggs resting on perfectly toasted bread, accompanied by vibrant tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a zesty pico de gallo that added a refreshing kick. Each bite was like a little fiesta in my mouth, and the colors on the plate were just as cheerful as the friendly staff who served it with smiles and promptness. To wash down all this deliciousness, I indulged in a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. It was the perfect way to cleanse my palate and add a splash of sunshine to my breakfast. With every visit, the Maywood Pancake House continues to win my heart. If you're ever in the area and looking for a breakfast spot that feels like home while serving up mouthwatering dishes, this is the place to be. You can reach them at (201) 368-1111 for any inquiries or to check out their menu. Until next time, keep your forks ready and your appetites eager #MaywoodPancakeHouse #BreakfastGoals #Foodie #BreakfastLovers #NewJerseyEats #Pancakes #Eggs #CornedBeefHash #Brunch #FoodBlog #TravelBlog #LocalEats #Yum #Delicious #FreshJuice #SupportLocal #EatLocal #FoodPhotography #ComfortFood #breakfastinspiration #travelingfoodie212

    Side of turkey sausage and 2 eggs (omelette style with cheese)
    Asma A.

    I'm a firm believer that having kind waitstaff can tip an average food experience into an amazing one. When you have great waitstaff at a place that's already got solid food, that's when you have the kind of magic you find at spots like Maywood Pancake House. Every time I've been here, the waitresses and hostess have always been incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. You feel like you're being welcomed to a small-town local spot even though there are 2 other locations aside from this Maywood one. I got blueberry pancakes, which were exactly the way I wanted them. Fluffy, absorbed the butter well, just exactly what I wanted. I also got a side of eggs, home fries, and turkey sausage. The turkey sausage was not my favorite but the eggs were cooked well and the home fries hit. It's all just solid stuff, which is what you want from breakfast (in my opinion). My husband got the Wrangler skillet but subbed turkey sausage for bacon. I was so fixed on my own food that I didn't even steal a bite of his (unheard of). He enjoyed it and said the eggs were cooked well. Look, it's breakfast. It's reliable, it's done right, and you feel like people want you there. That's top tier to me.

    Kids menu: silver dollar pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon
    Cathy G.

    Nj is known for its diners, and this one does diners justice. I always get a hot chocolate with whipped cream and it is made with water but I appreciated that the drink was extra chocolatey it made you forget the base was water. Now the kids menu items could feed an adult! They are not stingy with servings and the bacon was crisp! No limp bacon was observed here! Diners are warm and cozy and they did not disappoint with aesthetic there. Our waitress was friendly and many of the staff came around frequently refilling coffee.

    Mexi-Cali omelette
    Whitney L.

    Stopped by Maywood Pancake House with some friends as we were making our way upstate. We arrived at around 10:30am on a Saturday morning and had to wait a little bit before getting seated. It was a packed house! They have classic American breakfast options and a ton of vegan friendly dishes, which my vegan friendly greatly appreciated. I shared the Revolucion French toast and the Mexi-Cali omelette with some additional vegetable add ons and both were great! They had huge portion sizes and everything was reasonably priced. Would definitely come back for breakfast if we're ever in the area.

    I've been here a few times, and every visit has been consistently excellent. The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. The vegan blueberry pancakes are absolutely amazing and the Vegan Mexicana eggs are fantastic. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

    Not a favorite. It's a low key, dinner style breakfast place. We went there because they have a good amount of gluten free options including gluten free pancakes, waffles (although not today) and bread for eggs. Service was good. It wasn't amazing, but I don't have any complaints there. It wasn't the reason I didn't like it. The main reason for the lower score is the food itself. I got poached eggs with avocado, tomatoes and potatoes on toast. Hubby got the gluten free (vegan) pancakes. My meal was dry and flavorless. There were no sauces, no spices or anything else to give it flavor. Also no consideration of how the ingredients fit together, if at all. It was one of those situations when I regretted going out because I could have done better myself, at home. Imagine dry, cold gluten-free bread, with plain avocado, a dry tomato and dry eggs... and you will get the idea. I also got orange juice and I am not sure what was in it (it tasted ok...) but it made my stomach hurt. That's not something that happens to me often. The pancakes were similar. The dominant flavor was that of baking soda - not something to look forward too. It ended up being fairly pricey for what it was (and how bad the food tasted). It was more expensive and worse quality than my regular go to place. Most of the clientele seemed local. It was out of the way for us and we came to try something new... and we did. Not likely to repeat.

    Maywood Pancake House is everything a good pancake house should be - delicious, down to earth and affordable. Today, I visited Maywood Pancake House for the first time at the recommendation of several family members. Although I had never been to the town of Maywood before, I was glad that I took my family's advice to visit. The staff at Maywood Pancake House were professional and quickly took us to our seats, and we felt well taken care of. All the food options were also delicious. The pancakes were light and fluffy, and my breakfast quesadilla was the perfect blend of savory cheese, crispy tortilla and buttery avocado. They even had vegan options, though we didn't order vegan when we visited. Another huge plus of Maywood Pancake House was that the food was all affordable. This is so hard to come by with all the inflation in recent years. If you are hungry for pancakes and breakfast fare, you should definitely check out Maywood Pancake House.

We're so glad we did, because this hole in the wall turned out to be a diamond in the rough. With a nondescript exterior and limited signage, Foodies Diner is easy to miss.

I especially appreciated the way the owner greeted everyone who enters and thanked everyone who leaves with notable warmth and small-town friendliness. The menu reads like a true diner - with all-day breakfast and brunch options, as well as standard lunch fare. We ordered a Santa Fe salad and an L.A. burger - which comes with avocado, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was pretty standard, but having it delivered on a warm brioche bun feels a little bit special. The accompanying fries were also great - crisp and potatoey on the inside. The salad, on the other hand, was a near triumph. Served on a large platter, there was a small field of well-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar, vegetables, avocado, pico de gallo, and - best yet - some pieces of warm, toasted pita. I even sprinkled some pieces of bacon from my burger into this salad, and wow did that take it over the top. I dug into this salad with fair gusto and would absolutely come back for it...which is saying something, since I wouldn't expect to fall in love with a salad at a diner. Service was fantastic, and we were pleased with how reasonably priced our meal turned out to be. There's plenty of parking - either right out front or in the lot further back.
