If you enjoy breakfast on a boat but hate the water then look no further then Mr.Pancake! You can sit and dine within the remains of a river boat turned restaurant. The food is good, not great. But the price matches. The serving staff were friendly and generally quick for coffee refills and delivering food. I decided to try one of their signature items of the banana split waffle which basically consisted of whipped cream, some ice cream all sitting on a giant waffle. This might look and sound good, which it is. But it was ALOT of whipped cream. A lot of sugar for a breakfast item. I recommend buying this as a sort of side dish for you and two to three other people to share. Honestly my favorite part of the meal was the cheesy hash browns which you can specifically request. The coffee was good too. Also be prepared to wait in line if you come by in the morning. I had to wait 30 minutes for a seat. Not sure if the wait was worth it, but maybe I missed out on trying something. I'll go back again if the wait isn't so long. Otherwise it was a fine place to have breakfast in the Dells. read more

Expect an hour long wait to be seated. After that the food is marvelous and orders come out very quickly. The honey syrup on the corn pancakes is delightful. Great service and wonderful food. read more

I was completely thrown off by how good it was and will be coming back 100%. The mr pancake coffee is not only delicious but strong enough to notice from a few sips . I had the 6oz steak and eggs. The steak is seasoned perfectly and is very tender. Completely caught off guard by how satisfied I am and how tasty it was. My whole family loved their plates as well . Definitely worth a visit if you are staying in the dells . By the time you're done eating Youl realize why they've been open since the 1960's read more

Nice, clean place! Friendly service; our waiter was quick to come to the table. It was nice getting to the restaurant before the rush of the day's traffic. read more

Refuses to accommodate nut allergies. Brought the entire table's food before informing party member with nut allergy they couldn't make their food because they don't sanitize griddles or waffle makers between orders and would not do so. When asked about this, told they could not accommodate, but guest could order eggs and sausage (while the rest of the table already had and were eating food). Terrible customer service. read more

We stopped in for breakfast with a group of 10. We were seated pretty quickly and I felt like the service was quick all around. The menu is quite large but some things are a bit silly. For example, I ordered the pigs in a blanket thinking it would somehow be something a bit special but it was literally just 3 pancakes wrapped around 3 small sausage links. I could have easily done that myself. Also, be aware that if you order the banana pancakes they are literally just regular pancakes with a few slices of banana on top. The blueberry pancakes were just regular pancakes with what looked like blueberry pie filling on top. It's a bit misleading. The portions were large and the price was very reasonable. Also note that they don't split checks. read more

Very dark musty interior and food was very lacking. Service was prompt and polite. We were the only diners during our visit so we were surprised with how quickly our bill was presented read more

Mr. Pancake, I love you. The best and biggest buttermilk pancakes ever. Also had a bit of the chocolate chip pancakes and they were delicious. Wish there was one like this in Chicago. You can find a 10% off coupon in the Wisconsin Dells coupon book. The wait is not soo long if you come before 9AM. read more

Made an impromptu stop in the Dells for lunch, and Mr. Pancake is the kids & I's new favorite! Addie, our waitress, could not have been sweeter, and the pancakes (we tried banana & blueberry) & hashbrowns were cooked to absolute perfection! I'd never seen my little daughters eat so much and rave so highly! Can't wait to go back:) read more

I'm going to go with the masses on this one. This place might actually be an IHOP with a misleading sign out front. The wait times were long (to sit, for the waitress to take our order, for food, to check out) and it was not a luxury we could afford with 3 children of varying ages. The restaurant is loud and every 3 minutes or so you'd hear a child at another table losing their mind. I don't blame them--I was close to screaming in desperation myself. The food was decent but similar to what you'd except at a Denny's. If you don't mind waiting exorbitant amounts of time for average flapjacks at the kind of place where your forearms stick to the table and where Midwestern tourist families come to die, then by all means, check it out! read more

Jade en blintz and the fiesta omelette wit a side of hash browns. Delicious the serving size was large.

Mediocre food, bad service. It's not easy to both burn crepes and deliver them cold, but Mr. Pancake was up to the task. Complained about food to waitress who told me that's how it is supposed to be and offered no sympathy or apologies when delivering check and seeing my $9 crepes were uneaten. read more

A must stop for breakfast if you're staying in the dells. Last time there our waitress suggested to pour syrup in our coffee. I have never looked back ever since, it was delicious!! There is always a wait to be seated so the best best is the show up early. Everything on the menu is great. You will not be disappointed with anything you order on the menu. Enjoy, fyi they are closed during the off season. read more

Its rediculous that they charge for everything in this restaurant. To split a food you need to pay $2.50. Never coming back in this restaurant. read more

Came to have breakfast with Starbucks in hand and we were turned away due to a "state law" that doesn't exist. I would never recommend this place to anyone, horrible service and liars. read more

Parking was a little sketchy! Wonder how many accidents happen in a week there? Food was good! Fluffy pancakes good omelettes and fun toppings. Our server was good and seemed to enjoy his job. The table behind us were super rude and messy. They dumped food and a liquids all over the table. When the staff came to clean it up. They didn't even complain or seem annoyed. I know I would have been mad! read more

The food was GREAT, service was GREAT, timing was GREAT. We have a party of 8 and there seemed to be a long wait but they got us in in 15 minutes and our food was out quickly after we ordered. Super reasonable prices and a LOT of food. Definitely a MUST breakfast place in the Dells! read more

SÚPER GOOD PANCAKES 10/10 coming back! food was on the pricier end but worth it. Satisfied with my meal

Mr. Pancakes has very friendly and upbeat staff. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained. The food is out of this world. Fast, fresh ingredients absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the peach pancakes which Unfortunately they were out of peaches. They upgraded him to the strawberry pancakes for no additional charge. A must stop if you are visiting the Dells. read more

So freaking delicious.... I think one pancake is good with any meal instead of two. I'm surrounded by pancakes and it smells sooo good. Closes early so get here before 2. Noon was perfect! Thank you Mr. Pancake, I can live on! read more

A very neat way to start a morning in the Dells. The place was crazy busy yet the staff was very quick to serve. The variety was amazing the food was very very good. It was definitely worth the wait time. It seems to be popular with both tourists and with the locals. I would strongly recommend it. read more

short story; THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE. Yes yes i can complain about a lot of things, like sure there are long lines, shitty parking lot, rude tourist people, screaming kids, yadda yadda what do you expect you are in the middle of the armpit of Wisconsin. the real reason why it is so popular is very simple, the food is just that good. Especially the pancakes of course. the lines did seem to die down around 11:30-noon... worth a shot if u like simple freash breakfast and amazing thick pancakes seen. read more

Our first time there.. and the place gets really busy, food was good, just the normal breakfast flavor and yes they do want you in and out and the waitresses get so busy they forget about you... the decor is a little outdated but the bathrooms are clean.... read more

Mr. Pancake - Good stuff, ham steak and eggs - American Near Me - Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

Probably my favorite breakfast place at the Wisconsin dells. I know some people complain about the wait time. That's because it's a busy place in the food is very fresh and tasty. read more

First there racist and negative and the food was cold and tasted like it was put in the microwave and was served to us on our plate the plate looked like a 3 year old cleans it the wait for the food took almost an hour they let family's in front of us and we where before them do not go here it is racist and unsanitary and won't let my family sit together but other families could (and they where white) DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY read more

Potato pancakes weren't what we expected but the pumpkin pancakes were amazing.Definitely worth the wait

Our server was really great. I enjoyed the blintzes, and the hashbrowns. My youngest enjoyed her bacon and French toast. My oldest had a strawberry waffle. The strawberry compote is frozen/cold and ruined the waffle basically. Another child at our table also had strawberry crepes and had the same experience. The food was (mostly) good but the way they prepare the compote should be different, maybe use fresh ingredients instead of frozen ones, as they are what really ruined this for us. read more

Tons and tons of options, and the place is actually really big. I think the actual people that come here to eat make this place only four stars. I know you can't really help that but at the same time it's what it is read more

First time we visited this week. Great experience! Excellent hash browns and French toast! Will be going again!

This place is a sham. Prepare to: 1. Wait - our wait time to food was 1 hour and 45 minutes. 2. Pay money to "Share" food.. Seriously, that shit is outrageous. I'll do whatever the sam hell I want with my food thank you very much. 3. Be underwhelmed by the quality of the product. Slimy, shite bacon.. Hashbrowns are ok. Paid to add onions and they put a tablespoon of raw ones over the top for 2 dollars. 4. Be ignored by your server as they cram as many tourists in as possible. 5. Get a small loan to pay for the bil This place is GREED at it's finest. Stay away at all costs. read more

This place is an insult to humanity. Don't go here, and keep your children away. Everything is filthy. If they can't keep something as trivial as the bathroom clean, imagine the kitchen. The table was filthy. The plates that came out to us were filthy. The coffee cups were. FILTHY. As in obviously unwashed. The syrup bottles were communal and disgusting. Everyone who comes in this place is touching them. Let me tell you how you are received; they tell you it's a 10 minute wait - 1/4 of the restaurant is empty... In the waiting area are shabby bins of stuffed animals. All the families that walk in, the kids go to the bins. This establishment is praying on the impulse pressure of children on their fatigued parents. There's a small sign saying no refunds. It was terrible to witness all these parents arguing with their children they don't need another stuffed animal, prying them out of their hands, these toys touched by every snotty child that walks in. We only got as far as ordering the coffee. My wife was busy being disgusted by the bathroom when their stink coffee showed up. Instant coffee. Burnt. I was on the far side of the table and I was revolted. We just left for our own dignity. The place just screams "Fuck you tourist cattle, here's your shit." read more

The Pancakes are light and fluffy, and a little cakey. I wasn't going to be picky about syrup in a place like this, and obviously not worrying about pure, but what they use was a light amber so it didn't detract at all. A side of bacon managed to be burnt and rubbery. A definite throwaway item. However the bacon in the pancake I was told was good, but you did have to use a knife. We were seated in a corner which was nice, cause it gets bustling in here. We had an excellent waitress. Restrooms are very clean for a place this busy. The bussers are quick and using 2 per table makes the turnover very efficient. read more

Could it be? Could Mr. Pancake take the prize for Patti's all-time favorite pancakes? I do believe so! There was a surplus of eager patrons lined up and ready for their table at Mr. Pancake upon arrival. I was preparing for a long wait but was pleasantly surprised when we were seated just 10 minutes after arrival. However, upon being seated, it became clear to me I had some pretty rough decisions ahead of me. The menu simply sang to me as it listed some of the most mouthwatering pancake flavors I could ever imagine. Normally, I would attempt to try a bite here or there from other plates on the table but I was so incredibly obsessed with the downright scrumptious peanut butter pancakes. The peanut butter flavoring wasn't overpowering or too heavy, which is something I feared upon ordering. Instead, they were still very light and fluffy. I tried eating with and with syrup and took full advantage of the chocolate chips and whip cream toppings. Everyone else at the table seemed to be smiling ear to ear with their selections. The only two things I tried outside my meal were a sausage link from the Pigs-in-a-Blanket dish and a sip of the hot chocolate ordered by the kids. The sausage was great and I would likely order a side of it the next time we are there. The hot chocolate was thick and creamy and everything a kid would want from a hot drink. There is no doubt, being a Chicagoan, that we will one day return to the Dells. And I guarantee one morning will find me staring down the Mr. Pancake menu looking for my next pancake adventure. read more

pancakes were on point and the apple juice was great i definitely recommend this place!

We stopped at Mr Pancake after we saw it driving to Noah's Ark. We got there around 10:30AM and only had to wait about 15 minutes before we got seated. The restaurant is built to look like an old paddle boat from the outside and the inside decorated to match. There is a small gift shop on the inside where you can purchase toys and stuffed animals. After we were seated, we knew what to order (after the 15 minute wait). We got hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, bacon and strawberry pancakes (which is a favorite on the menu). We got our food in less than 10 minutes and it was just as good as all the reviews I read myself. The pancakes were amazing! Very soft, fluffy and cooked to a nice golden brown on both sides. There was a VERY generous helping of strawberries, whip cream and powered sugar. The hashbrowns were nice and crispy on the outside. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would definitely go back again. read more

I love Mr. Pancake. I'm surprised I haven't already reviewed here! It always packed so keep that in mind. The staff does what they can though. The food is great and it's never a bad time! read more

Best breakfast in the Dells. It is extremely busy, but we waited 15 minutes, or less, before we were seated. Don't be intimidated by the line or crowd at the door. It didn't take long before we got our food either. Color your Mr. Pancake menu and you won't notice the delay. The chocolate chip pancakes are phenomenal. They were impossible to finish when I was 5, and still impossible to finish even when I'm starving at 26. Delicious with blueberry and strawberry syrup! Great menu selection, but they should have a better kid's menu. The no-plate sharing fee is unfair due to their huge portions, but I don't have kids so I can't review based on that. Mmm thinking about it makes me want to drive 3+ hours for breakfast now. read more

A definite must try if you are in the mood for pancakes! Our party tried four different kinds and we were all very pleased. I had the special pumpkin pancakes and they were delicious with chopped nuts whipped cream and nutmeg sprinkled on top. Another guest had the peanut butter pancakes sprinkled with chocolate chips and Reeses pieces, so good! We also tried the chocolate chip and strawberry pancakes, both good but not my particular favorite. Prices were reasonable for the pancakes and included 5 cakes per order! Soda prices are a bit steep at almost $2.50 each. We will definitely be back! read more
