Thought we would try a new breakfast place and after checking Yelp near our house JP Pancake popped up. We saw more negative than positive reviews so initially passed; however, our normal place was really busy so thought it would be fun to try something new. Went into it with low expectations and have to say was pleasantly surprised.
Decor is fun, simple and feels very family owned (which is a good thing). Waitress (good customer service) recommended we try the oven baked pancakes. We had our kids with us so she kindly let us know it takes 20 minutes to bake. If you are in a rush or have crazy kids with you (as we did) make sure you order the baked pancakes as soon as you arrive. We went with the apple pancakes and they were REALLY good.
We would have given JP Pancakes a 4 star due to the apple baked pancakes; however, some of the other menu items we tried were not as good. The home fries were fine just a little too oily and needed seasoning. My kids had a gallon of syrup (just because they like to make their parents super nuts when hopped up on sugar) with a side of pancakes, sausage, and bacon. They said they liked it so that is good as they are somewhat breakfast snobs. The kids menu had good choices and prices were fair ($3/order).
If you are up for trying a unique baked pancake experience give JP's a try.
