May 18, 2017 at 8:32 pmWhile it may not exactly be considered a ‘pancake restaurant’, and it may not have a gazillion different type of pancakes, Applewood Grill has 2 things NO other restaurant has – Apple julep and apple fritters, and there is NO better way to start your day than with apple julep and fritters! If your definition is a bit more narrow, then Log Cabin wins hands down. Pancake Pantry???? – tried it once, never again. Unless you like your pizza thin crust style, then maybe you’d like Pancake Pantry – it’s waffles were about as thin as thin crust pizza (seriously – about 1/2 the thickness of any other waffle I’ve ever had), and they don’t take credit/debit cards – cash only.
