Now that I hop is gone, the original House of Pancakes is probably one of the premier breakfast spots in Champaign. For you quick eaters, it's a pretty busy place . Like most breakfast places places in the Midwest, you'll find that they close early and open even earlier. If you're ready to eat at a reasonable breakfast time let's say 10 or 11, you're going to be in for a wait. It's usually 15 to 20 minutes no matter what day you go. But, the wait is worthwhile. The food is pretty inexpensive . you usually spend between 10 and 15 dollars including drinks. But that can include eggs bacon and some of their awesome pancakes a variable flavors. I tried about half of them and so far I have not found a bad bunch. They also have thick sliced bacon which I am always a fan of. To accompany your meal, try some of the fresh squeezed orange juice. Of course the local favorites are the Apple pancakes and the Dutch baby. These can take up to a half hour to make because they are made in an oven but they're pretty good. I still prefer a good old fashioned eggs, bacon, and pancake breakfast. Service is always wonderful and the staff is always happy to see you. They accept most forms of payment including credit card and cash.
