    Blueberry pancakes
    Anthony C.

    New version of the pancakes are terrible! Small thin flats that used to be good sized and fluffy. Server confirmed they made a change - for $14 pancakes the new version is unacceptable.

    Yummy and in the heart of Boystown and I enjoyed the chocolate covered bacon. Try the sorry food and the ambience here!

    Bloody Mary
    Riley M.

    It's breakfast, hard to go wrong. Bloody Mary was your run of the mill zing zang tasting mix, good accoutrements though! Eggs Benedict were okay, Canadian bacon was pretty chewy but edible. Service was quick and friendly once you're at the table but expect to wait on a weekend.

    Meat Lovers Skillet

    Much bigger space than I thought and no wait on a Sunday morning. The pumpkin pancakes were a nice fall treat - just sweet enough with some butter and the melty whipped topping. I enjoyed the meat lovers skillet, but honestly the biscuit was the best part. The potato chunks were a little too big for me and I probably should've gotten the egg over easy instead of over medium so that the dish was a little wetter.

    BBQ Wings

    This review is only for their Dinner menu. It is a far cry from their breakfast/brunch options. We decided to stop by as they began to open from 3-10pm for the summer. The staff was nice and the place clean, but the food was subpar. It is an extremely slim menu, so we decided to try the wings, quesadillas, and a burger. The burger was fine but the quesadillas and wings were terrible, lacking flavor and substance. I'll still come for their breakfast but not for dinner.

    This review is mixed but before I say anything please know, I definitely recommend this restaurant. This restaurant is so spacious, it has two sides. One side has bar seating and a few smaller tables and the other side has larger, family size tables. The restaurant is clean, welcoming and great music playing. Service is excellent. I interacted with a few employees and they were all nice and helpful. The food is tasty and the portions are huge. My only complaint was my specific meal. My kids had pancakes, sausage, breakfast potatoes and it was seasoned well and delicious. My husband enjoyed his food as well. I had the steak skillet and the corned beef hash. Both were absolutely horrible. I can't even begin to describe the hash. It was dry and hard as a brick. My steak skillet had no flavor at all. The eggs were okay and the biscuits were good. The potatoes were not cooked all the way through and were bland. I think they should use the breakfast potatoes in the skillets because those were delicious. The steak was tough. I will be returning, I just won't be ordering those two things again.

    We ordered for delivery and have a few issues. No one is answering the phone and we've called multiple times now. We got a set of Gluten free pancakes & regular pancakes but they didn't mark which ones are gluten free. As someone who doesn't want to end up in pain from eating the wrong food, it's so frustrating guessing which ones are GF. We're also missing a side of fruit. I ordered Chicken sausage & eggs but the sausage looks & tastes like regular sausage. Both my boyfriend & I are trying to call to confirm it's actually chicken before I can continue eating but am getting no answer.

    This is our go-to breakfast spot! We have been here many times and every dish we have ever tried has been delicious! It is usually pretty busy so there might be a slight wait for a table if you have a larger group. But for a group of 2 we can usually get a table immediately or find a spot to sit at the bar and eat. The staff is always very welcoming and they're very quick to get your order in and get your food out. Eating here in the perfect start to any day!

    Steak Skillet and waffle

    Second time at Pancake Cafe, first time ordering takeout. A few hostesses greeted me and smiled as I arrived to pickup my food. Everything was delicious and will be a repeat breakfast spot I'll go to.

    I stayed the night in the area before a Cubs day game and wanted to go out for breakfast nearby because I wasn't craving hotel food. Pancake Cafe was less than a 10 minute walk from my hotel and it was a nice morning, so I headed there. My order consisted of a bacon and cheese omelette with crispy hash browns and a side of pancakes. Everything I ordered was cooked expertly and tasted fantastic. The omelette had a good amount of bacon and cheese in it, they were able to make the hash browns crispy without burning them, and the pancakes were fluffy and sweet enough where you don't necessarily need syrup. I was surprised to see how large the side of pancakes were and the fact they were two of them. The service was friendly and attentive too. For the money, the food was a great value. The area is well maintained and not too far from Wrigley Field, so I could easily see myself stopping again the next time I go to a day game.

    Spinach and feta omelette that is mostly uncooked spinach.

So when Hanabusa Cafe appeared on my search for brunch in DT Chicago it was a no brainer for me. I dragged my husband with me first thing in the morning so that we don't have to wait in line. Thank Goodness there was no line but the menu was a little confusing. They gave us a menu and we had to order in line first, and of course it being our first time here, we were attracted to the pictures and didn't notice the handwritten strawberry cream flavors (also our heads were down reading the menu rather than up looking at the TV advertising (which has the SC flavor - obviously we missed out on that). I had checked the menu on yelp before going and already knew I wanted the earl grey pancakes. When we got there, I saw that there were two favorites. I asked our teller which would he recommended between the fan-fav of Custard Vs the Earl Grey. His answer was "... well... they are very different flavors..." and that was as descriptive as he got -- so I just stuck with my Earl Grey. My husband told me I was being a butthole and why did I ask for their recommendation if I was only going to go with my original. I told him I asked for their thoughts and recommendations and he didn't really sell it to me, duh! I'm very aware that those are two different flavors but maybe if they can tell me more about the flavors and why he liked one over the other, I may have been sold. Be excited about what you sell/serve! Anyway. The husband had the plain and I had earl grey and no regrets. Only regret I had was not being able to go again before we had to leave Chicago and my husband's regret that he didn't see the strawberry cream earlier as he would have gotten that one. So don't miss out on that! 1 star down because service could have been better.

We went on the memorial weekend, and we didn't know we are getting the brunch intead of the lunch menu. We were so gonna get that fish and chips equivalent, so it took us some time to finally decided on the meal choice. My husband got the breakfast with chicken sausages, while I got the burger. Their burger is great with two thin patties. The veggies and pickles with it is delicious. The bun is pretty good. The fries was decent. His breakfast is so much better than mine though! I tried everything on his plate and it was good! After we finished our meal, we also took some nice pictures at the balcony which you can see all the way to the Field Museum area on a nice weather day. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Grant Park area. We actually visited the cloud gate, fountain, The cultural center, Target/5 below, comic stores, route 66 sign, Chicago stock exchange arch, and the art institution all in that trip. Very convenient! Their reservation opens 2 weeks before. If we ever go back to Chicago, we will definitely visit them again. Hopefully I will complete my Invisalign treatment and can actual eat more food! The elevator is very "vintage" btw. We tried both the express and regular elevators and that was an interesting ride...

I would assume a place where the newest thing since the 1980s is the security camera would have vinyl with more cracks and patina than my trusty old leather jacket! But no, it's in fantastic shape. Especially given that, the vibe in here is awesome! It's like stepping through a time-portal. For food, I ordered an old favorite: Pigs in Blankets. The food came out fast, though, to be fair, there was only one other person dining in at the time. The sausage links were crisp, and the pancakes were lightly sweet and fluffy. All in all, great! While perhaps not enough to summon the Michelin Guide inspectors, it was better than the average greasy spoon. Finally, I really appreciate that the prices are reasonable, and that there is parking! Final verdict: I've had a small handful of spectacular breakfasts. I've also had criminal breakfasts, where two unsalted eggs, two bacon strips, and a tablespoon of potatoes costs $14.95. Golden House Restaurant & Pancake House finds itself in that sweet spot in between - it is neither a spectacular spot (often have prices to boot), nor is it an overpriced, underwhelming greasy spoon that stays in business thanks to regulars who have been coming for decades and don't want anything better.
