I was really excited to try this place! I had heard nothing but AMAZING things about it and not just from Yelp, but people in Lubbock in general. My boyfriend and I went this past Sunday before church. It was about 9:45-10ish. We pulled up and couldn't find a place to park! This made us quite excited because we figured that served as a sign of it being extremely delicious. Our wait was 30 minutes and we enjoyed the "waiting area". It was cute...your typical diner with signs and decorative things plastered all over. The menu had quite a variety, from flavored pancakes to omelettes. I couldn't decide! I wanted a little bit of everything! I ended up picking some special that gave me a pancake, hash-browns, ham, and 2 eggs...I picked the cinnamon roll flavored-pancake! The cinnamon roll flavored-pancake sure was something. But overall, this place, to me, is nothing too spectacular. A person can probably make all of this (if not better) at their own home. It was easy, breakfast food and didn't have that special flavor to "wow" me and make me come back...I can make eggs and pancakes too! The place is cute, i'll give it that. But it was just average. I'd consider it just a place to try once, maybe if you're visiting Lubbock? But you'll be just as satisfied leaving IHOP...or maybe your hotel's complimentary breakfast buffet. Lubbock has much better to offer! read more

Loyalty abounds at this restaurant filled with love for each other and for their guests, not customers. It's refreshing to feel valued by a business for something other than your money. If you come back more than once, and I recommend that you do, it's likely you will be remembered. If you make it back three or more times I can guarantee you will be remembered! Service is friendly and skilled, adequate. Don't come in here in a hurry although they are usually quick. If you come here in a hurry you will miss out on the atmosphere of home. That feeling of being welcomed. Your server will be happy to help if something isn't quite right, just be kind about it. These people are true gems. read more

I've been a few times to this place. Always by myself because I can't coax any serious people into trying it. It's the same as pretty much anywhere else in town. Nothing stands out except the prices. Add ons are way too expensive. You can go to tech cafe for half the price and get somewhat similar food. The service is always friendly and prompt but that's the best thing about it. This is just another run of the mill greasy spoon in Lubbock. read more

Such friendly staff! We inhaled our Hungry boy breakfast. Food came out quickly and coffee refills came without asking

Love this place every time I'm in Lubbock. Real cozy environment and great diner food. I got the omelette from south of the border and it was great. Oma, our waitress, was the sweetest and provided great service. read more

This once was a cozy little place to get a good breakfast. Those days have come and gone. Slow service. Place never is clean Breakfast often cold read more

Best breakfast I've had in a very long time. Reminded me of Grandma's home cooking when I was a kid. Staff is very friendly, great service and down home gooooood food. read more

Good breakfast place. We tried a little of everything and liked it all. Our waitress was delightful! Very sweet!

Ate here while I was in town visiting my mom who is up at UMC. I stumbled upon this place purely by accident and I'm glad I did! The ladies that greeted me were so sweet and welcoming. After the week my family has had, it was really nice to feel like I was among sweet, friendly people. Oma was sweet and took great care of me. I had a steak omelet (one that's on the back of the menu) and substituted mushrooms for tomatoes and it was delicious. Portions are adequate and the restaurant has an old-timey feel that is rather enjoyable. read more

Love this place! Every time we come to Lubbock we come here for breakfast. The servers are warm and genuinely welcoming and the food is great. We came today and our server found out it's our daughters birthday so she made her a special pancake and had it waiting for her when she arrived. Very sweet! And other patrons are friendly, striking up conversations. Definitely recommend this place. (It's been around since the '60's) read more

The people here are so friendly and helpful. We were just passing through and getting breakfast on our way out. The food was great, the options are plenty and the prices are inexpensive. You can't beat it! read more

A great small town feel diner with incredible food and genuinely kind staff. I had the western omelette and my sister had The Summit, two breakfast sliders. We both loved them and are excited to try other amazing menu items. read more

Visiting Lubbock for fisrt time, excited to eat at this place. Went there, signed in, waited for about an hr and after waiting they come and tell is that for us, since we were a big group they couldn't serve us and if they did, it would take then about 1hr and half to be attended. That pretty much said it all! Bad bad customer read more

My family and I went there the morning after one of my sister's graduation. We didn't even get the chance to try out the place. The lady in the front desk was so rude and somewhat prejudice. The moment we approached her front desk to request a table, she ruddily interrupted saying that the wait was too long as if to discourage us from eating there. Well, I feel sorry for the Pancake House in loosing - they lost out on this profitable opportunity. At least someone else was able to enjoy it! LOL. read more

We went here during the TTU Vs. UT weekend, big mistake. The place was packed and had a 40 minute wait. But in the hangover state we found ourselves in Pancake House was all that we wanted to feel better, that and a cold beer but I think we would have gotten dirty looks for bringing some in. In all my years in LBK Pancake House was always a staple for a serious breakfast meal. The pancakes are awesome, especially the sweet potato pancakes and the omelets are good. Old school dinner with classic breakfast items on the menu. Service is good and the staff is friendly. read more

Awesome food!! We are from Austin and my family and I had several different items from the menu and the chicken fried steak was amazing!! We even returned the next day for another round!! I love that they have God in there restaurant as well!! Once you visit you will understand. I recommend visiting when you are in town!! Amazing service and very friendly!! read more

The model tablets of the 10 commandments on the wall may be off-putting to anyone living in the 21st century, but the pancakes are pretty good and the service is great! read more

We eat here for breakfast every time we go to Lubbock. Food is consistently pretty good. It's tough to mess up bacon, eggs, pancakes and biscuits. Great atmosphere with lots of Texas tech support! Great service as well! Only complaint is it is a little pricey. Not a lot, but a little. read more

This place was packed at noon. Everyone eating breakfast. I had veggie omelette with hash browns and toast. The omelette was cooked perfectly. The coffee was very good. The service was excellent. Thank you Theresa. read more

A Lubbock classic! When you wake up and crave a pile of your favorite breakfast foods, this is the BEST option! I recommend getting The Skillet. Fried chicken, sausage, hash browns, green chilies, eggs, and cheese with two biscuits and gravy on the side (I suggest just adding it to the mix and dumping the gravy on top of it all). There are endless concoctions of all breakfast foods here, all served in a small-town-country-kitchen setting. read more

I think the only thing I like about this place was the different flavor creamers. That's where it ends. We stayed in Lubbock a solid week and never did find a place with decent breakfast. I thought with a name like pancake house it would at least have decent pancakes. Disappointments are not limited to pancakes. The Bacon tasted old and the portions were less than appropriate for the price. all in all, I think on our next trip to Lubbock, we can definitely steer clear of this place. read more

Amazing service! Great food. I always enjoy the French toast, hash browns, and bacon (GREAT bacon!). The red velvet pancakes are always a win. It's a must visit- but be prepared for a wait on weekend brunch time because this is a popular place. read more

We loved this place so much we ate here for breakfast two days in a row! Omelets were good and the sweet potato pancakes are delicious. The service was outstanding and treated us like family. I'd definitely eat here again! read more

This place is the best breakfast place ever in Lubbock. We are regulars here. We come most every weekend. There is a waitress Angel who is sweet as pie and very good at her job. My mom is a very particular person and Angel gets it right every time. Even when we can't get Angel most often they are very good at keeping up! They always keep your coffee full and make sure you have everything you need. It's always clean including the bathroom. Their food is always good with all of the regular favs like biscuits and gravy,eggs,bacon,sausage,hash browns, omelets,etc. They have the most amazing pancakes including my fav red velvet. I prefer theirs over any other in Lubbock. A lil tip they get really busy on the weekends starting about 10-11am. So if you don't want to wait then go before then. If you have to wait though it's worth it. They also have veterans discount you just have to tell your waitress when you order. You feel at home here. These people bust their butts to crank out the best customer experience possible. read more

Ate here this morning for the first time. I ordered a combination omelet (basically meat lovers) plus onion with a side of funfetti pancakes. I wasn't too crazy about the omelet but the pancakes were to die for. Our server Andrea, was super helpful and gave great service. I would definitely go back for these pancakes again. read more

Great little place, ate there yesterday for lunch. My waitress(Andrea) I think did a great job and had a great personality and was the happiest person. Everyone there was happy. Had the chicken fried steak with fries, was very good. Would definitely east there again. So if your in the neighbor hood, stop by, you won't regret it. read more

This place is amazing!!! You can't go wrong with any item you choose. It's very eclectic and you can tell the pride that the employees have for working there. This is a Lubbock staple and I always take visitors there, or st least suggest it if I don't get a chance to take them. It has a wonderful atmosphere where it feels like home and you are always welcome. read more

Holy bum. I can't believe some of the low ratings. We've been going to the Pancake House for 30+ years. Never had a bad experience. I always get the sweet potato pancakes, eggs, of course beacon and their biscuits & gravy are to die for. Wife & kids get a little of everything including omelets & they are always great. Prices are also really reasonable. Restaurant is clean and the wait staff are always friendly and prompt. read more

This place was just meh. For me to rate a breakfast place high it has to be better than something I could make at home and this place did not fit into that category. The pancakes had an extremely artificial/fake flavor to them. My scrambled eggs came out extremely undercooked and even when she brought them back the second time they were still very watery. The only good thing about this place was low price, but then again you get what you pay for. On a plus side, our waitress was very nice, but lady at counter was on phone entire time she was dealing with us. read more

My fiancé and I eat here about twice a month. Service, food, atmosphere is amazing. I get Hungry Boy every time and it keeps me full relatively all day. Come during the morning/early afternoon for quicker service during the week. It's filled with college students on the weekend, which isn't a bad thing. Just quicker during the week. read more

Family went to Pancake House this morning prior to going to Tech Orientation. Wasn't as good as everyone said it was. Pancakes were hard and they were very skimpy on the hash browns. Am so used to getting at least half the plate with hash browns. Honestly had two mouthfuls of hash browns and it was gone. Overall it was very disappointing. read more

My favorite breakfast cafe in town. Sometimes it can get a little crowded but it is well worth the wait. Good home cooking but not too heavy or greasy like some breakfast joints. read more

Massive amount of food for a really reasonable price. And the pancakes are amazing! The wait staff is always friendly, and the waitresses are the type to call you darlin'. Very homey atmosphere. I'm never disappointed! read more

I used to go to this place back in 2002-2006 when I was a student at Texas Tech and I always loved it. I was back in town this past weekend for a graduation and I was excited to take my kids there before we made the long drive back to Houston. They sat us at a table and the waitress came out and asked us what we wanted to drink, and while my 8 year old autistic daughter was trying to say her order the waitress got impatient and walked off. She came back and took our drink orders after checking on another table. She then took our food order and we sat for about 45 minutes. She kept walking past us to check on the table behind us but never refilled our drinks or gave us an update on our food. I watched other tables who came in after us being served their food while we continued to wait. Finally I gave up and we walked out. My daughters were getting too hungry and we had to get on the road. I was extremely disappointed and won't be going back. read more

One of the best breakfast places I have ever been. Their sweet potato pancakes were awesome!

Place is amazing for breakfast, love getting a pancake with my omelette! Salsa is great, pancakes are great, hash browns are great. Love this place! read more

The line of people Saturday morning was discouraging but we were sat quickly. The food and service was great. A real home town treat if you in Lubbock it's a must. read more

Beyond crowded. A bit heavy on the Jesus décor. Good food though. This is definitely popular with the after-church crowd.

Nice people, nice food, nice place. I've been to Pancake House many times now, and it's great. I would definitely choose it over IHOP or Denny's any day. Sweet potato pancakes and waffles!? Yes, please, with extra pecans. They taste like a holiday casserole in breakfast form. I have never been disappointed with any of the food that I've had here, even the lunch food is good! The place runs like clockwork even when there are a lot of people waiting to be seated. All of the waiters are genuinely nice and helpful. read more

Best pancakes in Lubbock! Definitely a must visit while in Lubbock and a lot of local flavor.
