Editorial Review for Chaces Pancake Corral – by Fred Brack

The Scene
Opened in 1958, Chaces is a small, one-story building whose plain exterior has been prettified by loads of hanging flowers. Inside, homey comfort rules. Ceiling fans, golf towels from around the world, Husky helmets (during football season) and family photos (including one of owner Bill Chace as a Husky crew member in 1932), serve as decor. Service is home-style and hospitable.

The Food
The menu lists eight egg dishes, four waffles and eight pancakes, plus burgers and sandwiches for lunch. Everything is prepared quickly and with practiced ease. Bargain specials, such as chicken-fried steak with two eggs or a hefty biscuit with sausage gravy, can be had for the price of a couple loads of laundry. For those with a serious pancake yen, try the combo plate of buttermilk, buckwheat, strawberry and potato cakes.

I had a huge craving for pancakes/waffles a few months ago and wanted to try somewhere other than IHOP. I looked for a place nearby and found Chace's Pancake Corral and read some great reviews about it, so I decided to give it a try. Their pancakes are the FLUFFIEST pancakes I have ever had! They were delicious! On another trip back a few weeks ago, I tried the French Toast that I had wanted to try on the first visit, and again I wasn't disappointed. Great breakfast food and very friendly atmosphere!

Pros: Delicious food, great service, "family restaurant" atmosphere

Cons: Long wait if you get there after 10am on weekends, parking lot is small

Man you guys are harsh. I know alot of things have gone down hill since Bill passed away but saying that it is awful isn't so. Just because your food doesn't taste like everywhere else doesn't make it bad. It's just not like your eggo waffles or your Denny's pancakes. You know why it tastes funny and unusual?....it's made with love.
