"Believe the hype and worth the wait. This place has a reputation that will not let you down. The pancakes are perfect. The sausage is delicious. I had a sausage and cheese omelette with some added jalapeños for a little extra kick. The coffee cake hits just right with hot coffee. The service here is better than family. They go out of their way to make you comfortable and will give you menu recommendations if you can’t make up your mind. The line will be long, but trust me, it will be worth it. And you can walk into a few of the near by shops and they will still hunt you down and let you know when your table is ready. Just stay within earshot." --via Google Reviews, March 2024

WORTH THE WAIT!! We had to wait about 45 minutes, but went next door and had the opportunity to taste the apple butter. It is the bomb and better on toast. Bacon is fresh and crispy. Cheese grits are really good and my favorite was the blueberry pancake with real maple syrup! Try it all!! --From March 2024 Google reviews

How to Spend a Weekend in Hot Springs, Arkansas 02/12/2024

"Another great sit-down breakfast option is The Pancake Shop, which offers arguably the largest pancake on the planet. We tried the blueberry and made the mistake of ordering a stack. Then we made the even bigger mistake of eating the whole thing, which was enough to feed a small family."

"Wow! My family loves to try new things that we see from TV! So, of course, we had to try this Food Network gem. It was everything we hoped for and more. We got there a bit late, around 9 and were out of there by about 10:15 and that included the long line that we literally only waited in for about 15-20 mins. The atmosphere was great, our waitress was sweet, and the food was fantastic! Great place to grab some breakfast! If it says small, it’s more like medium/large! It isn’t what you expect at all. The food was huge and flavorful and was worth the wait."
