    I'll start with plastic cups. Three for water and 3 for our carafe. Six plastic cups for our party of three. Super meh. Otherwise--- our carafe of the special drink was pretty good. It was layered so mixing it made it taste better and gave everyone a good taste of the finished product. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and everything was finished but the ricotta pancakes (this person never really makes a "happy plate"). I thought my eggs could've used 45 fewer seconds and the bacon was all crispy. I'd prefer it not to break away and I end up picking up pieces off the plate. The service was friendly. Surface and garage parking (5-6$ for first two hrs). Validation for early diners. No reservations but there's a lot of seating and the entrees came out in good time.

    Had Sunday brunch with some friends. Had some nice outdoor seating on a beautiful May morning. The service was efficient. Menu has a good mix of traditional breakfast fare and other more traditional lunch items. One of the best pancakes I ever had. The breakfast burrito was good, with silky scrambled eggs. Not much bacon or potatoes in the burrito though. Everyone was fairly satisfied with the meal and the location.

    The star of the show and I give this a 7.2

    It's all about location. Every time I visit Ponce city market this breakfast place is always packed. I'm talking line out the door, so I took a trip on Friday mid morning around 11:30am to check it out The service was decent. I feel the food was average. There's nothing that stands out on the menu to me. The pancakes taste average. The French toast was great. It actually was the star of the show while we tried pork and chicken sausage. It was just OK. The breakfast potatoes were normal potatoes. I will say that the bacon had a funny aftertaste (pork bacon) They have outdoor and indoor seating. The establishment is decorated fairly cute, but there are far better breakfast places in my opinion. However, if you're at Ponce it's easy to navigate yourself to this place . The location works for this establishment, my overall rating is a 7.2.

    Had a breakfast date with my hubby. We walked in and were greeted with friendly hellos. Everything was clean and bright. Our server was helpful and friendly. My hubby ordered the pancake breakfast and loved it. I ordered the ricotta pancakes. They were huge - 3 plate filler pancakes! The ricotta is cooked into the pancake and a layer of lemon curd sauce is spread on the top pancake. It had a bright flavor. I do wish the lemon was on each pancake, but that's just me. I loved how the edges of the pancake were crisp. I could only eat almost half of the serving, so I brought home the remainder (which was enough to share with hubby ) for another meal. My only ding are the prices which are a little high, but honestly what isn't these days? We will definitely be back! Next time I want to try the French toast!

    Was initially concerned about a long wait coming here since every time I pass it at Ponce it looks packed, but luckily that was not the case at all. I came with a party of three at 10am on a Wednesday and there were only a handful of other people present. The server was friendly and the service was prompt. I ordered the Avocado Toast with a side of potatoes because I was worried the toast would not be filling enough. Contrary to my concern, the toast was quite filling and delicious. However, it was served on a piece of paper on a metal tray. There were over the course of the meal the toast got a little soggy from the toppings, and the paper kept getting stuck to the bottom. This resulted in shreds of paper sticking to the toast which was a little disgusting. Would be an easy adjustment for the restaurant to make though. The potatoes were crispy and complimented the toast nicely. The interior is cute, and the floor has a tile with little pancakes throughout which I found just adorable. The seating included counter space, outdoor seating, tables, and booths of many sizes to accommodate different parties. I do believe that you have to pay for the Ponce parking if you use one of their lots which is an added cost.

    This is now my favorite brunch spot in the city. Surprisingly I've never had a problem with getting a table as soon as i arrive. I also suggest sitting outside if the weather is right. My waitress convinced us to get the craft mimosas which was a great decision lol. The food is large portions and every bite is great!

    It speaks for itself! Very tasty and perfect proportions!

    The food and the service were outstanding!! Nice place for the community to gather. We will be back!

    Hey y'all I am back. Let's get into it. Parking - have to pay for parking. It's located on the side of ponce city and they do not validate. Validate if you come to eat when they open very very early. Service - everyone was sweet to me. Tables were clean and the restaurant! Bathroom is located through the back doors into another small room by ponce if you are looking. The kitchen is open, so you can see your food coming out / them preparing it. Food- I def came for the pancakes because it's called pancake social. . I got the blueberry type. So yummy, fluffy and warm. My food came out relatively fast. I also got the eggs scrambled and the hash brown patties. The eggs nothing special. The hash browns were a little on the salty side but good color and crunch. I also had their fresh orange juice and it was good. Not too sweet. They have other juices I didn't try and was out of one at the time. Timing - I went after my run club so it was around 9/930. I was able to walk in and get a table immediately. When I was leaving the crowds started coming in. I would advise if possible to make a reservation if not early in the morning. They have seating inside , outside , and at the bar. I would definitely come back. I would say they don't have alternative meat options. Red meat , pork, and chicken but no turkey or vegan options in meat fyi. I would have loved a turkey patties or link with this meal.

    Such a cute brunch place and food was yum! Had a good breakfast debrief here with my friends. The service was amazing - I felt terrible because I accidentally knocked over my glass of ice and the waitress was so sweet about it. Definitely would come again!

    Cute little pancake house Great for breakfast/brunch /lunch. Clean white industrial vibe. Solid menu-great options. The server was accommodating when our daughter came in after we ordered. The food was fresh and hot. I got the pancake plate. -the pancakes were light and fluffy and filled the entire plate, eggs OM were crispy on the edges like gramma used to make - yum!. I did have to wait several minutes for syrup and butter to arrive. And 2 omelets- The portions are generous here. Prepare to eat!

    To kick off my girlfriend's birthday, we decided to have breakfast at Pancake Social, located in Ponce City Market. It was my first time there, and the overall experience was pretty solid. Parking was easy, especially for a Friday around 10:30/11 a.m. They offer free parking right in front of the restaurant, and there's also a parking deck nearby, which is super convenient depending on the time of day. It wasn't crowded at all when we arrived, so I'd definitely recommend weekday mornings for the best experience. We were seated immediately, and started things off by splitting a pitcher of Peach Mimosa ($20), which was refreshing and a fun way to celebrate. For food, I ordered: Single Buttermilk Pancake ($4.50) Savory Grits with Cheese ($4) Hot Honey Chicken Bites ($10) Tater Tots ($5.50) The flavors were great across the board--the pancake was light, fluffy, and delicious; the chicken bites had a nice kick; the grits were creamy and flavorful; and the tots were crispy and seasoned well. That said, while the food tasted great, most of it wasn't particularly warm when it arrived--the pancake was the only thing served hot. That was a little disappointing, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy. However, the flavor quality and the pitcher of mimosas helped smooth things over and made the experience enjoyable overall. Ambience-wise, the space is bright and modern, perfect for a relaxed morning vibe or casual celebration. If you're looking for a cute breakfast or brunch spot with great flavors and a laid-back atmosphere, Pancake Social is definitely worth checking out. Just hope your food comes out a little hotter than mine did!

And house specials, is friendly and engaging. He makes the rounds and talks to the customers, makes them feel like home. All the staff seem to work together well and a very jovial. I sat at the counter cuz I was flying solo and had nice conversations with those next to me. The way the entire building is decorated is completely eye candy and as satisfying as the food. If you like crazy loopy, different kind of stuff. There's a specific coffee shop and small gift shop in the back with social & environmental conscious products. Even have a film development drop off that I guess locals take advantage of cuz where do you go for that anymore other than some kind of chain pharmacy?. I took pictures for my posting but also for myself to consider coming back and shopping another time. Several of the magnets and signs I would love to own. The food is plentiful and flavorful. I had the daily special of Georgia fresh shrimp sauteed on top of homemade sourdough that had a little bit of a French toast crispy to it, topped with roasted tomatoes and spinach and thin crispy onions that were well seasoned. Most the time for lunch you just hope for something that taste good and this was beyond my wildest dreams of what I was going to eat for lunch today. And it was only $10. The burgers, the fried chicken, the fried shrimp, everything was looking so yummy. I totally have to come back. The place is much bigger than it looks from the front because it extends around the corner behind the counter and they greet you when you come in.

Service was slow, almost an hour to get our food and we came on a weekday morning (can't even imagine the weekend rush!). The biscuits are DELICIOUS especially with the apple butter they have on the table, but I would skip the cornbread. Super super dry and grainy. Also the fried okra was tough to get through because of the size. I do wish they maybe had some fresh juice options available in addition to all of the coffees and teas, but it was fine overall and I wouldn't mind going again.

We waited only a few minutes and was able to navigate the small lot to get a spot. There is a designated window for pre-orders and walk-ups have a separate line. It wasn't that long when we were there, but was out the door when we left. Ordering was easy as we got a chance to preview the paper menu, and we were given a card to place on our table once we found it. There was plenty of seating options despite the full lot, but it was nice out so a lot of people were out on the patio with views of the busy intersection. The decor was modern and airy. We checked out the salsa bar while we waited for our appetizer and I found the jalapeno roasted garlic, which was spicy and amazing!! Our appetizer was the con queso and I added chorizo, which I highly recommend. It was plenty for our party of 4 and they'll give you more chips if you need them for the amount of dip you get, just ask. I got one each of the steak, chicken, and carnitas tacos on corn tortillas. The steak was my favorite and I loved that you could taste the smoke in each of the meats with each bite. The grapefruit marg was strong! We were in and out in well under an hour.

Our mains were the peach waffle and the early bird with a complimentary side of Parmesan fries. We added a coffee and a lavender special drink. The husband's peach waffle was small but was so delicious, he shoveled everything and was stuffed. "Too full" he said. I couldn't finish mine, the chicken was juicy and flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning. The matchstick fries were a lot. I took back half the chicken, the 2 round waffles, the other half mountain of fries. I had to consciously tell myself not to finish everything or I'll be too full to walk, or I might have to run another mile or two to work it all off. Overall, a great meal!
