Capitol Pancake House

While on family vacation in Williamsburg, VA, we wanted to try a new place for breakfast. We had a party of 6 people. The wait was 30+ minutes. The waiting area was packed, with standing room only, and the restaurant itself was old and rundown. Finally, we were seated in a large section with no other customers. So, why the long wait if so many tables were open. We ordered traditional breakfast food which was very underwhelming. The pancakes were dry, the potatoes were under seasoned, and the meat was very well done. The best thing that recall eating was the scrambled eggs with cheese. Please save your money and avoid this place at all costs!!

Capitol Pancake House received five stars for the excellent customer service, exceptional options and nice atmosphere. We visited for breakfast and the was a large variety of options to choose from on their menu. The food was abundant enough for two people to enjoy for at least three days. The food was served on what appeared to be platters. The restaurant had ample parking space and an abundance of seating options to choose from at the time that we visited. The restaurant was also decorated nicely. Although the restaurant is on the east coast the people provided a beautiful display of southern hospitality!

Food was amazingly delicious ordered the Philly cheese omelette with grits and roasted seasoned potatoes. Added a pina colada mimosa. Starting digging in before the picture (reason why some of the omelette is missing 😋). First time there. Will definitely be back.

We were visiting from Florida and had to stop by because the place had its own road sign. Everything was delicious. I tried the cornbread pancakes (which I had never heard of), and loved them. I was thrown by the veggie beef soup because it had noodles, but it was good as well! Our server was very friendly and gave great suggestions. Seems like it has an interesting past. We are definitely going back the next time we are nearby.

Had a wonderful meal here. Our server was so nice and accommodating! Food was delicious. Mimosas were pretty good.
