By 1984, all the remaining locations had either been sold or shuttered — except the original beachside Sambo’s in Santa Barbara. The menu for Grandma's Pancake House may have changed since the last user update. Sirved does not guarantee prices or the availability of menu items.

As someone who is led by intuition in the kitchen, often measuring by eye and substituting ingredients on a whim, I sometimes find baking intimidating.

While I wait for my garden fruit to ripen, I’ll be practicing pie-making with store-bought blueberries. I’m hoping that by the time mine are ready I’ll be a bona fide (home) baker. I’m also keeping a couple of easy, back-up recipes handy, just in case I have extra berries.

Loaded with more butter than one really wants to think about, Jon & Vinny’s has made itself a serious contender for best pancakes in LA. They’re as straightforward as they get with light, fluffy buttermilk pancakes served with the usual accoutrements of maple syrup, a generous helping of salted butter and berries. Owner Christine Moore pumps out casual breakfasts and lunches at both Lincoln and Little Flower Candy Co. in Pasadena. Those who like their pancakes served with a side of nostalgia will find a happy home at The Original Pantry Café. This no-fuss 24/7 diner opened back in 1924, and has probably been serving these straightforward buttermilk pancakes since its opening day.

When is Grandma's Pancake House open?

There’s not much that needs to be said about these flapjacks – eating them at the restaurant’s worn counter just feels right. The vegan and gluten-free pancakes at this Highland Park cafe come with toasted coconut and a dram of Vermont maple syrup. Light, flakey, and topped with fresh berries, the butter won’t be missed. Atrium’s creative duo chef Hunter Pritchett and pastry chef Gregory Baumgartner experimented and developed a platter of buckwheat banana pancakes with french butter and maple syrup. It’s a solid addition for everyone, even those adhering to a gluten-free diet.

This airy pancake somewhat reminiscent of a crepe is about the size of your face, and comes with lemon and powdered sugar. Watching them grow outside my window, I can’t help but daydream about what I’ll do with my eventual harvest. It’d be easy to drop a handful in yogurt and granola or pancake batter for breakfast, but I find myself wanting to give the berries a more dramatic finish.

During weekend brunch at West Hollywood’s hit charmer, Tesse, order chef Raphael Francois and pastry chef Sally Camacho Mueller’s Limoncello pancakes. The pair combined the Italian lemon liqueur with marscapone, maple syrup, and chantilly cream. Good crust is my favorite part of eating pie, so it’s a key step to master as I set out on my baking journey. This recipe from Noelle Carter includes tips from local chefs and bakers, including Nicole Rucker of micro-bakery Fat & Flour. In the recipe, Carter provides guidance on how to choose the right fat for your crust, whether to use a metal, glass or ceramic pie dish and more.

The once-beloved breakfast spot moved to a more expansive location in Hollywood, but later reopened a breakfast spot right back in its original Santa Monica Boulevard address. But the cult favorite oatmeal griddle cakes remain, still slathered in maple cinnamon butter, and as delicious as ever. The family-owned S&W Country Diner operates in Downtown Culver City, and is completely retro with the 1950s-esque counters, decor, and longtime cash-only policy. Its old-school feel even filters through the menu with the pancakes. Four fluffy platter-sized cakes come in one stack, and it might be best to share unless truly hungry.

This down and dirty family-run restaurant has been serving West LA since 1982. That homey feel comes across in the pancakes, the no-nonsense buttermilk flapjacks that come golden and relatively thick. Grandma's Pancake House, in Minooka, IL, is the premier restaurant serving Channahon, Morris, Shorewood, Plainfield, Joliet, Braidwood, Wilmington, and surrounding areas. We offer home-cooked breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, omelets, pancakes, catering and much more. But civil rights leaders and town councils began to object to the restaurant with the racially charged name appearing in their town.

It requires precision and even science — at the very least, a respect for how certain elements interact.

On two bushes, blueberries are darkening by the day, bending thin branches as they cluster and swell under the sun. Long considered one of the best pancakes in town, the incredible griddle produces some of the crispiest, fluffiest pancakes you’ve ever tried. There’s nothing quite like the quaint beach bungalow-turned pancake house Uncle Bill’s. The Manhattan Beach mainstay is quite the local hangout, with serious weekend lines. But when pancakes come with ocean views, who can really complain. There’s nothing quite like a leisurely morning with a heaping stack of flapjacks and all the nostalgia that comes with it.

In the late ‘70s, protests and lawsuits challenging the Sambo’s name were occurring in Virginia, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio and Michigan. The menu has nearly twenty varieties of cardiac arrest-inducing options, from the Black Magic filled with crushed Oreos to the Saturday Morning Fever with Bailey’s and Kahlua batter. The Saturday and Sunday morning lines are no joke, but is worth the wait after one bite of these cakey monstrosities. If it’s classic buttermilk stacks on the radar, old school diners like The Original Pantry fit the bill, and with 24-hour service at that. The City of Angels is also home to some outrageously decadent versions, most notably from West Hollywood’s iconic The Griddle.
