I just went to Walker Bros. this morning and had their seasonal pumpkin pancakes! If you ever have a chance to go there in the fall, I would highly recommend them!!

Anonymous, you’re right, I hope I didn’t imply that it was supposed to be fancy…it’s an old school pancake house, which has it’s own appeal, but still, I can’t take something that sweet, but I did try.

Of course the apple pancakes are sweet! They’re old school, and not meant to appeal to a sophisticated palate. Walker Bros. is no foodie mecca! Just solid, incredibly delicious breakfast fare!

Anonymous, no kidding!

Ryan, I haven't gone to Clinton Street Baking Co yet because of the notorious line. We had three great breakfasts in Chicago and we didn't wait at any of them.

Emily, sadly we didn't have enough time to try out more places. We're now back in NY.

Anonymous, funny, I was thinking how great it would be with some pecans.

Sometimes, if you ask nicely, they will put pecans in the pan with the apples – it makes for one dastardly apple pancake!

Jessica, after reading this, I realized that the one downtown is just The Original Pancake House, not a Walkers Brothers. At first, I thought they were two separate restaurants with eerily similar menus, but after checking out the websites of both, I think they are in fact the same restaurant and the ones in the Chicago suburbs are just owned by these Walker Brothers.

Anyway, check it out. Now you can enjoy these delicious pancakes all over the country: http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/locations.html

oh, but there is a fantastic pancake house in NYC, the Clinton street baking company in the LES; if you havent been for the banana walnut pancakes, your missing out, and the egg bisquit sandwich is out of this world…the price is right, the atmosphere great, but you will wait

Lucky me! I can have em any time I want! But bring a friend. No way can one or even two hearty appetites clean the plate!

Emily, their website doesn’t list a location in downtown Chicago so maybe that one closed?
