Whether you like them thick or thin, fluffy or crispy, silver dollar sized or big enough to engulf your entire plate, pancakes have become one of the most recognizable staples on breakfast tables around the world. And when that insatiable craving for flapjacks strikes, it's important to know where you can get your fix.
Regardless of your preference, there’s a pancake out there for everyone. Let this map be your guide to Dallas' best spots for pancakes, hotcakes, crepes, flapjacks – whatever you want to call them.
Typically you’d expect an order of pancakes to come with eggs, bacon, and the other accoutrements of breakfast, but Barley & Board’s kind of blue pancake is a beauty all its own. Think of a less intimidating version of a dutch baby, with fresh blueberries, lemon maple syrup and homemade whipped cream. The name is kind of misleading, because you’ll be anything but blue after.
The ‘cake’ aspect of Bolsa Mercado’s pancakes is nothing short of understated. And thanks to a hint of lemon, the tall, pillowy stacks resemble poundcake.
This North Dallas restaurant is an essential pick for savory crepes. Best part is that breakfast is available all day, so the sausage and cheese is never far out of reach.
The pancake section of the menu leaves nothing to be desired, with options for classics like chocolate chip and banana nut, silver dollars and pigs in blankets. You’ll also find latkes, cheese blintz, and German-style pancakes topped with lemon butter and powdered sugar.
This local institution is about as classic as they come, so expect nothing less from the pancakes. The options stay away from anything dramatic, but standards like blueberry, apple cinnamon, pecan and buttermilk are sure to bring you back.
Pancakes, crepes, and blintzes all make the rounds at this hidden gem. And with most of the menu under $10, you can justify trying more of the other deli and bakery fare.
Despite its French influence, keeps it simple with only two crepe dishes on its breakfast menu. Your choices are either the sweet strawberry and chantilly cream, or the savory Hatch chili made with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and mornay sauce.
As a restaurant known for its hearty meat offerings, it’s no wonder that Smoke’s pancakes are equally robust. If fact, they even have the term ‘heavy handed’ in the title. Schedule an easy afternoon after taking in brunch at Smoke's Plano outpost.
No pancake list would be complete without this local favorite. With multiple locations around the metroplex, and a variety of options from Dutch babies to Swedish pancakes, it’s no wonder it’s a mainstay for breakfast lovers.
Although it’s still kind of the new guy on the block, this Sylvan Thirty shop has quickly become a go-to destination for sweet and savory crepes. Many of the crepes also offer your choice of buckwheat or white wheat flour batter.
This Chicago-based, egg-themed restaurant boasts a solid selection of crepes and pancakes. If you’re looking to switch up your normal flapjack routine, opt for the potato pancakes.
Some might call it a pancake, others a crepe. But Venezuelans know it as a cachapa, or a hotcake made with sweet corn. Typically it’s served with cheese, but Zaguan can make it with your choice of ingredients.
