    Uncle John's Pancake House...What a Fantastic Five Star Breakfast Restaurant ...We are all Sitting outside on a beautiful Saturday Morning in Campbell, with my family from Redwood City. This is my first time here. Cool music piped outside. Love it! Great inside restaurant with so many table choices and bar seating too! Old fashioned looking but new. This is a very popular breakfast destination. I am having the Swedish Crepes with Lingonbery butter, powered sugar & lemons. My Family is having pancakes. Service is outstanding and the food is delicious. This is a Five Star Breakfast Experience. Check out Uncle John's in Campbell or The Alameda in San Jose. Bring your family like I did! Enjoy!

    I've come here a few times, and it is consistently delicious! There is plenty of seating, and parking on the street and back of the restaurant, which is a plus. The servers are always friendly & talkative. They always greet, and get your order in quickly. The restaruant is well lit and always clean, It's a nice place to eat.

    Service was extremely disappointing and food was mid! Was excited to try this place before a long day of activities and their pancakes to waffles looked amazing. Upon arriving parking was very hectic, it's a small lot behind so you might need to try to park across the street or in the neighborhood. There wasn't a long wait but we got seated outside in front of the karate business next door. Big mistake because the waitress barely came over to check on us and it was hard to flag her down. We all got a griddle item with eggs, sausage and hash browns except we all got different griddle items. The waffle and french toast were okay, very average and was simple. Same for the eggs, sausage and hash browns. Just okay but I think I liked the sausage the most.

    Had a delicious meal here, loved the cleanliness, chill ambiance, delicious food. I dont know why but we struggled to have anyone serve us. We got our water and our food and then were completely ignored. Had to wave down someone other than our waiter for water, more coffee, even our check. Not once did we get a top up on coffee, water, or literally anything without having to wave someone down (not our waiter, who never came). I wanted more napkins but was too frustrated to have to call someone. I just used my dirty napkin. I wanted more water so I poured some from my daughter's cup. I had to ask someone for coffee because I cant generate that on my own. This was a weekday. There were people, not empty, but less than half packed. I could see all the people but not our waiter. But when it came time to pay and tip, which I had to ask someone else for, she magically appeared and had a great big smile. Tip time! Ugh. Other than that, meal was fantastic. Corned beef hash delicious. Pancake with blueberry. Awesome. Wait staff? Please. It feels like you are trying to make me not want to come back. Which i probably won't. 4 stars for food. 1 for service.

    Hung out with friends for brunch. All together it was 4 adults and 2 kids. Overall decor was decent and they had a good amount of tables. But if you are in a large group, you most likely will be split into different tables. I would say 6 would be max group. The reason I took one star is for the fact that the tables are so compact that it was hard to maneuver out like if you had to go to the bathroom. You are almost squeezing through just to get out. The food is good. I got the corned beef hash with eggs and a Swedish pancake. Super yummy. The Swedish pancake butter is really good. Next time I'll have to try the blueberry pancakes as that was recommended. The service was quick. We ordered and shortly after we got our food. The waitress stopped by and asked how everything was. I wouldn't say they went above and beyond but they did their job. Overall a good experience and I'd go back again.

    I love finding a new breakfast spot. Uncle John's was solid. Friendly service, with counter dining, tables and booths. Their griddle options to accompany the breakfast dishes is perfect for those who can't decide between sweet and savory. Everything was as expected flavor wise, with their Hollandaise sauce a tad thicker than other places, but still very smooth and rich. We didn't feel rushed, and coffee was topped off frequently. We'll definitely be back!

    The waffle was delicious. The fresh blueberry and cream toppings were excellent. However, the rest of the food items were mediocre for their prices. Service was pretty good. We joined the wait-list through Yelp and when we arrived, we were seated immediately. The diner is furnished nostalgically like a low rider. It's very pleasant to be inside.

    My number one brunch place in the Bay Area, hands down! The omelette soufflé is delicious: it comes with either skillet potatoes, or hash browns, as well as your choice of pancakes or toast. Everything tastes so good; you can't go wrong here. I usually get the meat lovers omelette with pancakes. I also love the diner feel and ambience. It's very retro and inviting. Staff is also friendly.

    Classic Breakfast
    Brenda D.

    My son and I came to Uncle John's for breakfast, and they did not disappoint! It was fairly busy but we were able to sit at the counter. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. I ordered one of the house specialties, California Benedict, which has pecan smoked bacon, tomato, avocado, and of course poached eggs on English muffins topped with the delicious hollandaise sauce. Yum! My son ordered the Classic Breakfast that includes two eggs (any style), hash browns, and any griddle item or toast. He got the pancakes which were huge! Everything is cooked to order and comes out hot. The place is very bright and clean and has that old fashioned cafe feel, IMO.

    Belgian waffle with choco drizzle, strawberries, bananas, cream

    Yes, eat here. Classic diner fare kicked up a level. Their griddle items are delicious. We tried the French toast as well as the Belgian waffle with choco drizzle, strawberries, bananas, and cream. Delicious. We also had the Classic breakfast which included eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns. All solid.

    Mushroom, spinach, avocado omelette

    I'd give it six stars if I could. Probably one of the most creative breakfast menus I've seen. You can have your breakfast cooked 3 different ways. I chose the omelette style. Everything was fresh and hot. I got there around 7am on a Sunday so there was no wait to sit. When I left, it was nearly full. Highly recommend.

    Eggs and bacon side

    Tldr yummy American breakfast food! My friends and I just randomly found this place and decided to try it. This place doesn't really have a selection for vegans or lactose people but we managed. We ordered the souffle omelette, swedish crepes, oatmeal, and got eggs+bacon on the side and hash browns. Everything was really good! The eggs were a bit runny but fully cooked, which is what I appreciate more. My favorite was the swedish crepes. It's literally just crepes and butter but the lingonberry butter was so good. It was a bit savory and sweet and tasted like berries. I would definitely come back just for that butter. The omelette was also really tasty! The side hash was mid but I didn't really care because of the omelette. It was packed full of the toppings and each bite had a good amount and was pretty evenly distributed. Some other thoughts about this place: - There is desayuno on the menu and that is what I will be trying when I come back. - There is parking in the back if you can't find street parking. But probably come early because it looks really packed even on a Sunday morning. - the staff were all super nice! And it was really cute that they are all wearing holiday sweaters - coffee is mid. But that's ok with me lol. They have peppermint mocha creamer

    Love this place, my husband and I are regulars and even when they are super busy (almost always) the staff takes such good care of us! The food is so good and comes out quick!

Just never got around to working a review before. Went early on a Saturday evening recently and was surprised to not have to wait. We split a Bibb lettuce salad that was simple, refreshing and perfect. A tiny pea fritter was the very definition of a small bite, and while it wasn't what I expected, it was crisp and tender. Grilled artichoke was one of the best I have ever had. (Just wish they had been explicit on the menu that it was a half a grilled artichoke). Cocktails were up to their usual high standard -- rye Manhattan for the BF and clarified milk punch for me. I don't get out much these days and I rarely drink alcohol, but is $20 a lot for a cocktail? Or is that normal now? They were great though. BF got the ribeye with morels, which was perfectly cooked and unbelievably tender. I had the burger, which was more exciting than it sounds, dressed with a wild combo of veggies, cheese and bacon while still managing to be harmonious and fresh tasting. Side of fries were crisp and tasty, though not as perfectly hot as I would ideally wish. Because the burger was late coming out, or server (Bernardo I think?) comped us an amazing little dish of vanilla soft serve ice cream with olive oil and sea salt, along with the butterscotch pudding that we ordered. The pudding didn't have the strong butterscotch flavor that I hoped for, but the vanilla ice cream stole the dessert show. OCK isn't a place I can afford often, but I still really like it. I appreciate the creativity of the dishes, the quality ingredients, and the bar. And the old-school shopping center vibe of the Pruneyard is low key festive and garden-like. The interior of the restaurant is kind of standard-industrial modern, but nicely so. Oh, and their glassware is super nice.

She was attentive but not overbearing and gave great recommendations. Even if the food was not good, we would still come back because she made it such a pleasant experience. Thankfully the food is also amazing. I have always been addicted to the triple B and the KFC so I was nervous when I tried the new versions recently. I enjoyed them both more than I had previously. The triple B was smaller but the biscuit had much more flavor, depth and was more pillowy. The KFC had always been my favorite and the new version did not change that at all. The chicken was much juicier, and it had a lot more substance. The chicken pieces were thicker and the sauce was delicious. It's reminiscent of a chicken and waffle dish because I believe the sauce has some sort of maple syrup. The dishes have changed but I'm a huge fan of the change. I will continue to come here and I am glad to see that this place doesn't seem to want to stop getting better.

    Hey there party People…read more Decided to venture into Willow Glen today on the hunt for something new to try. Boy howdy did we hit the Mother Load with "The Table". We hit the Brunch hour and the place was rocking. We were able to sit right down amazingly. There is a fabulous patio to people watch and enjoy the California weather. Our server Charles was really great. He walked us through the menu giving us the 911 on watch to order. Most of the plates were perfect shareable bites. Making it easy to try multiple plates and really get your inner Foodie on. We started with the Seasonal Banana Pancakes with crushed walnuts and cinnamon maple syrup. Inside the pancakes were fresh bananas and the walnuts were crushed very small but added a great texture. Moving on to the Chicago Steak sandwich don't get confused but in Chicago they refer to Roast Beef as steak. The Au Jus dip was very flavorful without being a salt bomb. Loved the potato roll they used all round a killer sandwich. Going a little outside the box we tried the Jerk Chicken Sandwich. The pineapple slaw with this amazing peppery chutney type sauce played so well with the acid of the pineapple. Another must have sandwich. I ask you how can you go to a new restaurant and not have some dessert. With everything else being so good our expectations were pretty high and we were not disappointed. The Giant Profiterole is exactly that GIANT and stuffed with White Chocolate Gelato and Hot Chocolate Sauce that you can drizzle over the top. To fricken die for good.

When we were seated, we were given a list of items that were not available. I originally wanted to try the pancakes but ended up ordering the chicken sandwich instead. This was genuinely one of the worst chicken sandwiches I have ever had. It was extremely gristly, fatty, and made with dark meat, which felt like an odd choice for a chicken sandwich. I'm not sure why this cut of chicken was used. The fries were alright, but they did not come with the sandwich and cost an additional $5. Our total came to almost $90 for three entrees with no beverages. I was especially frustrated because my sandwich was inedible. For the price and quality, I will not be returning and would not recommend this place.
