Absolutely amazing Swedish pancakes. I was happy that this place does not smell like syrup but does smell like coffee. Good prices and filling portions. Great homemade style corned hash....best I have had and I order it for breakfast regularly. I would highly recommend this restaurant but they did recently change their hours and menu to all breakfast, just FYI.Parking: Parking is limited so grab a street parking spot if you need.

Decent place to get a bite before or after pick up/drop off at SFO. Food cokes super fast, like amazingly fast, and is yummy. Service was slow for us and the women's bathroom has the smallest stalls I've ever seen, and is generally not well kept up. There is a parking lot, but you may have to wait for a space.

Clean, enjoyable, friendly breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. Can see why this place has been around for sooooo long. They are keen to please, can accomodate singles, or big groups. Something for everyone from picky eaters to dietary restrictions. Very busy weekend mornings and parking limited.

Walkable from the Millbrae BART station, very classic feeling breakfast diner. Servings were generous and food was so tasty! Service so efficient and servers very friendly and helpful. Would recommend the Pigs in a BlanketKid-friendliness: Very family friendly, with menu options for kids

This place has gone downhill drastically. You can always tell a bad breakfast place by how they are too cheap to butter their bread. Eggs are tasteless. Pancakes are mediocre. Their Denver omelette recipe is apparently 5 small cubes of ham and a full bell pepper saturating the omelette. Don’t forget how they make sure all the cheese is packed on one side of the omelette. I’ll never go here again. It’s sad because I used to come here all the time with my son for years. I stopped going because the food was getting bad, but I stop in every 6 months or so hoping it will get better because of the good memories, but it looks like they either started cutting corners or changed ownership, because it is not what it was.

Worst eggs Benedict ever. Eggs poached hard. When I asked for another poached egg, got the same thing. Do not recommend.

This place always makes breakfast feel special. Despite a typical 20-minute wait for a table for two on Sunday mornings, which isn't too bad, the food is consistently excellent, and the service is very friendly. A true local gem.

Been coming here since the 90s. Food is not particularly spectacular or trendy but it’s nostalgic! If you grew up in Millbrae/Burlingame/San Bruno area, many of us ate here with friends and families. Something we must order is the Swedish pancake. It’s this thin pancake that comes with flavored whipped cream.Oh and the ambience is timeless… looked the same as 30 years ago except it’s well maintained and clean.Will always come back for a casual brunch when we are in town.

My mom ate at this place a long time ago and I was convinced to go. I wanted to taste their pancakes, thinking it would be better than fast-food or Jack's restaurant. The moment we got there, it was packed and there was no parking. The moment we went inside the place, the atmosphere was terrible. It was packed and the workers wanted people to go and leave without giving them time to set in or order.When we finally sat down at a table, already the server wanted us to order right there and than without going through the menu. The server was nice but she seem to rush me and my mom and wasn't really engaging towards us. She even convinced my mom to order bacon even though she told her that she didn't want any.And the moment that we got our food, it was sloppy and it smelled. I didn't expect the food to look so bad. The pancakes were like crepes. I'm not sure that was the style but I thought they would be fluffy which they weren't. I order the banana pancakes which I found very sad looking and the taste wasn't nothing special. It was okay but not good. The bacon was really salty and the eggs were plain. The harsh browns were the only thing I liked but there were some parts that were wet which I found concerning. With the butter, it tasted odd especially the one with berries in it, it tasted bad. The drinks were the only thing that was highlight and I know they didn't make it.With the pricing was bad, my mom paid 55 dollars on food that later on got her and myself really sick and the heat didn't help and the place made it really tight. The bathrooms were to small. My mom also found paper on the floor that had poop on it. Also, a guy went inside the girl's bathroom and nobody didn't say anything about it.Overall, never going to Pancake House ever again. I was disappointed and my mom never wants to go there again. I was looking forward on good or great pancakes. And knowing what happened with the incident of the man getting unalived and ate there before he died was really disturbing. Never going there again.
