We went to Uncle Bill’s House for breakfast, and the food was lip-smacking good. We were completely satisfied with our meals. There's outdoor and indoor seating. Uncle Bill’s is a trendy spot, so be prepared to wait. It's usually a short wait. When we first went, we ordered the house specialty, Uncle Bill’s French Toast; it was delish. This time, we explored the menu. I ordered some banana nut pancakes. They exceeded my expectations, and they tasted scrumptious. The scrambled eggs and hash browns were good, too. The coffee was on par with most pancake houses. We love the cozy family home feeling inside and the beach-chic atmosphere outdoors. There is limited prepaid meter parking adjacent to Uncle Bill’s. There is also public parking within walking distance. The cost of food is very reasonable and a great value. The service is excellent. One of the local regulars told me the next time we visit, ask for the natural molasses syrup that is kept behind the counter.

The pancakes are very good! However I have found the savory items to be fairly light on taste. The service isn’t too good the hostess and waitress were not very friendly and she handed our plates to us instead of setting them down. Every time we go there’s always a wait.

Food was delicious and served quickly; service was excellent; location convenient; and despite not having space to accommodate a stroller inside, they made it work. The only downside was that it was really noisy indoors, but otherwise great!

I used to come here all the time for breakfast. I moved away for a few years, came back and decided to go to uncle bills only to be met with a huge decline in their food. What happened? Probably what happens with most restaurants, they don't want to pay their chefs enough thinking they'll just replace them only to get worse.....

Uncle Bill’s Pancake House serves up a satisfying breakfast experience with a menu boasting classic favorites. While the pancakes are comparable to those of larger chain restaurants, they may not quite match the quality of homemade ones. The omelettes, while decent, are not particularly memorable. However, the service shines with attentive staff despite the long lines and wait times, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant's cozy ambiance adds to its charm, though the tight quarters may feel a bit cramped for some patrons. Although lacking in beachfront views, the company you keep can more than compensate for any shortcomings, making it a worthwhile breakfast destination overall.
