Pancake Chef

Let me Start by saying Thanks to George the manager. for pulling us in offering us an off the menu item. WALNUT Burger, The vegetarian burger.

Being a vegetarian driving for several hours. super hungry. came in and was little disappointment seeing no vegetarian option on the menu. that's when Mr. George jumped in told us about the walnut burger.

i must say it was amazing, satisfying, off the beat from a chipotle bean patty, this is a very good vegetarian option. i hope they would add this permanent in their menu.

We also had a skillet/ veggie hash.. good but little oily..

Onion rings were great.

the place still has the antique decor, very cozy. staff was friendly. i would stop here every time i am heading up north.

there are plenty of street parking.

We get breakfast whenever we visit Mackinaw City. I normally get the breakfast buffet when I come here. I would say selection and food quality of the buffet is definitely better than average (average being something like Big Boys). They do also have a solid menu to order from. Also, if you're like me and looking for an excuse to drink in the morning, they have a very respectable bloody mary bar on the weekends. Not into bloody Mary's? The size of the mimosas are very generous.

This is the 3rd time we have been here. Really great food and nice service. The waitstaff is very friends and ready to help. This time I tried the Hot Turkey sandwich. More than I could eat and really good. Put this place on your list to stop in at.

Nice place on the main street. We were seated quickly and had a quiet lunch. I ate from the buffet and my husband ordered hot roast beef. The Food was good and the restaurant was very clean. Service was a bit slow.

Great food and great service and best of all no wait. Diner buffet was excellent. We were walking around town and every trendy restaurant had lines out the door. Not the Pancake Chef, we walked right in and we're immediately seated. Right on the main drag, I think the name scars people away for dinner but they have a full menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Skip the trendy for family dining every time!
