Uncle John's Pancake House

15 Best Brunch Restaurants in San Jose and the South Bay Area | Eater SF

"Uncle John’s Pancake House first opened in Santa Clara on El Camino Real in 1965. Half a century later, the beloved Bay Area restaurant was brought back to life in Campbell with the aim to recreate the classic American diner. Today, the pancakes, waffles, omelets, and sandwiches reign supreme, and don’t forget to check out the mimosas, which come in orange, pineapple, strawberry mango, guava, and seasonal flavors. Uncle John’s has since expanded to one additional location at the Alameda in San Jose, and the original founders are also the ones who opened Holder’s Country Inn in the 1960s — another Bay Area chain that’s garnered acclaim for its breakfast dishes." - Dianne de Guzman
