LBI Pancake House

Food is always delicious. Came for my birthday in the off season and service was still amazing. Shoutout to Kelly for the great service. Even during the peak summertime, you’re always fast to get seated and get food. Would recommend to anyone and will always drive an hour from home to come here for breakfast.

Came down to LBI for the day to walk the beach & grab a new LBI hoodie from one of the shops and also go up the lighthouse. Food was fantastic! Been coming down to LBI for vacation or day trips since I was a baby (I'm almost 49). But I always had breakfast when I left PA so I never stopped in. Now I know to NOT have breakfast at home. 😎 Great food, excellent service and wonderful vibe. I'll be back. 👏👏

The Food is delicious, the service is excellent, great prices and atmosphere. We highly recommend you eat here- you won’t be disappointed!

My husband and I stayed in LBI for a few days. This was our first trip. Went for breakfast here and had not only a delicious breakfast, but the best service! We made sure to come back before we left. Great portions, delicious food, great coffee, and service that made us feel like we were locals going there for years.

The food was amazing, the staff was even more so. We haven’t had such friendly service at any dining establishment in such a long time and we were so appreciative. Thank you so much Chris for being an amazing server and to all the staff for a great visit. Will be back again next time we are in town!

This is THE breakfast spot on LBI. The pancakes and the waffles are excellent. I was there twice this week and tried the biscuits and gravy one morning, and The Kitchen Sink omelette this morning. Both were great. I’ve been here many times over the years and have never been disappointed.

Our first time here, we stopped in for breakfast and we were seated by a very friendly and polite girl. The server was quick to take our order and the food came out very quickly. I got the standard scrabbled egg breakfast and it was very tasty. The eggs and the pork roll was cooked as I asked, the hash browns were a little crunchy for me but the flavor was great. My wife loves them crunchy! My daughter had the kids French toast and she thought they were delicious made with thick bread. We also had the avocado toast on multigrain bread and it was very good! The avocado was bright green! I also love the coffee comes in a carafe so I didn’t have to wait for another cup! This place is a great neighborhood place!!

This place is awesome! My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner and were greeted by all of their lovely staff. Food is great, and breakfast all day - can’t beat it. Highly recommend trying their fresh squeezed orange juice with vanilla ice cream, to die for! I’ll definitely be returning again with friends and family to try this place out.

What a cute little beach side breakfast joint! It's quite large on the inside. Easy to get to and walking distance from the beach!! The food is seasoned to perfection. Very very affordable for the quality and taste! Wow! Comes out hot and the eggs are pillow like. Melt in your mouth. Perfect on a cool New Jersey Day! The service here is incredible! So accommodating! I left my cell phone charger at my hotel and my phone died. The server gave me his to use until I was done with my meal!! Also, there is plenty of parking in their designated lot!!

Food was okay. Service was good. Establishment was clean. I was sat right away. Served hot coffee. A bit pricey. I was at LBI table yesterday and spent less for my breakfast bowl that came with a fresh made biscuit. This omelet is something I could've made at home, but for convenience purposes came here. Maybe I should have tried the pancakes instead. I wasn't wowed by the flavor of the home fries. The omelet lacked some flavor. Still edible. Think it should've been $10 for the omelet and $2 for the coffee.

Omg the blueberry pancakes with chopped strawberries is to die for. So yummy and not too sweet.

We have been eating here for years. We usually enjoy the food. However, the last time we went the bacon and chicken tenders had clearly been cooked hours before and then reheated. The home fries were not good either. Hopefully it was just a bad day. The veggie omelette is always delicious!

Absolutely amazing experience from the food to the service! The belly buster was delicious. Great food at a great restaurant. Would recommend this spot to anyone who wants a cozy breakfast with a diner feel!

Great service and super fast at this spot sitting in Ships Bottom, LBI on the main drag. This place is smaller, but has a great breakfast menu with of course pancakes and waffles and french toast, as well as omelettes and egg dishes. The orange juice in here is freshly squeezed by a nearby auto juicer and the staff in here is very friendly and fast on their feet. The food is quite good, great homefries and eggs cooked to order plus delicious pancakes. Prices are decent and I would highly recommend this place. Only thing lacking is parking, but you can park on the street.

Awesome food. Very friendly people. We got a bit of everything. The eggs were great. The omelet was delicious. The pancakes were very tasty.

LBI Pancake House IS, and should be your only place you'll hit up for breakfast while in LBI. Nestled within Ship Bottom, the Pancake house has it all. Not just pancakes! Don't believe they take reservations, so be sure to get there early or expect a wait. However, they turn over tables pretty quickly. What we snagged: -Lots of delicious coffee -Belly Buster...(VERY good and very filling) -Breakfast Wrap -French Toast (Kinda dry...) Overall, great experience and amazing wait staff. Friendly, and very accommodating. We'll 100% be back next summer!

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I came here with my family of 5. I put our name down with the host and she told us it would be a 25 min wait. So we waited right out front. There was only one group of 5 ahead of us. More people came to put their name on the waitlist and the host started letting all these groups that came in after us inside. She let in a group of 7, that I know for a fact came in after us. When I addressed her, she said that we just have to wait. It had been well passed 25 mins and she was letting in every group that looked like her (white) even though they came after. We are Latinos for context. This was definitely racially charged. There is no other reason to call groups that came in after us that were the same size or bigger. If you go here and are not white, they will not treat you with respect.

Great food, good coffee, fast service, overall a great little place for a quick bite.

Just giving a huge shout out to the LBI Pancake House for their super friendly staff and delicious food My son and I have a date every year since they opened and it never disappoints! This place gets packed and the wait time can be long, BUT it's just a great little gem. So worth it

The host working today, 5/27/24, is racist. She let every white group of people in before us, even though they put their name down after us and were the same size group or bigger. When we checked to see what was going on, she said we just have to wait. She had no intentions of seating our family. She completely wasted our time. Very upset with how we were treated. Do not recommend going here

Solid pancakes and the owner was super friendly, but I will not be returning. We ordered 2 short stacks of pancakes with one side of bacon (4 strips) and 2 cups of cold watered down black coffee and our total was $45. I've paid the premium to eat on the island before but this felt worse than usual.

My mom and I came here before a day on the beach. We arrived on a Monday in August and waited about 20 minutes. The food was good, nothing spectacular. The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. We bought to-go fresh squeezed orange juice which was the best part!

Food Allergies Welcomed! We are a family with food allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, sesame and shellfish. This diner and staff were excellent, they worked with the chef and even showed us food labels to put us at ease. They could accommodate almost any breakfast on the menu which were all very good. The best items were the chicken and waffles, Jersey wrap, Philly cheesesteak omelet; and chose the potatoes over the fries. Ask to be served by Shannon, she was great with the allergies.

My adult kids said the gluten free pancakes were really good. After overhearing us talk amongst ourselves about a small issue with our order, management immediately offered to make another one (even if we wanted it for takeout). I declined because it wasn't a big deal and they still brought some small extra things to the table as an apology. Good food and even better service. We will definitely be back.

This is our go to place for bfast. The food is fresh and we've never had anything less than a five star experience. It's family owned and they genuinely care about their customers. The pancakes, waffles, eggs and bacon are made fresh and always delicious! And they have fresh squeezed orange juice!

Huge shout out!! 1st off if you are a celiac-dedicated section of kitchen. Celiac safe and the BEST pancakes you will ever have!!! They are vegan also. So friendly, family oriented place. So glad to have found the establishment. Will be back often!!

Great, old-fashioned restaurant with good food and good service. Been coming here for a few years. However, they ran a promotion in April for Autism Acceptance month, and as a person with autism, I did not appreciate my disability being exploited.

This place was incredible! Everything from the vibes to the service to the food/beverages were on point. When we told our server that we had a rough night the night before, they brought us complimentary fresh squeezed orange juice, and it was some of the best OJ I had in my life. They also gave us a free creamsicle drink. We met the owner and told him my boyfriend was vegan, and he went out of his way to make a custom/off menu vegan chocolate chip pancake dish. My boyfriend was floored by how good it was. We will absolutely be back!

A casual low key atmosphere with GREAT pancakes! Chill staff who were very attentive. Highly recommend!

I tried the dinner tonight and all the food was amazing! My Cuban was HUGE and super yummy. Amazing family environment with great staff and the fresh squeezed OJ was a must. Check it out next time you're in the area.

These prices are awful. $6.75 for a tiny glass of orange juice?! What is that. The pancakes aren't bad ($13) but still. Fix your pricing.

My family and I had a a delicious dinner at the LBI Pancake House earlier this week! Our server Shannon recommended the mini corndogs and chicken caesar wrap which were AMAZING and the kids enjoyed silver dollar pancakes with chocolate chips. We highly recommend you check them out for dinner!

We had peach pancakes and they were delicious. Fresh peaches in 3 pancakes. We also had pork roll, 2 eggs sunny side up, potatoes and white toast. The potatoes were very tasty and delicious. The egg beaters were tasty as well. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a must. I recently had the eggs Benedict. The Hollandaise was nothing more than yellow water. The eggs were so soft that they fell apart when the we're delivered. The hash browns were very dry.

I had the banana blueberry pancakes with strawberries on top and they were the most buttery moist delicious pancakes I've ever had. thanks for accommodating me so close to the closing time! I also very much appreciated the interior style; would be great to host private events and dinner! I look forward to coming back

Our first time here, we stopped in for breakfast and we were seated by a very friendly and polite girl. The server was quick to take our order and the food came out very quickly. I got the standard scrabbled egg breakfast and it was very tasty. The eggs and the pork roll was cooked as I asked, the hash browns were a little crunchy for me but the flavor was good. My wife likes them crunchy though! My daughter had the kids French toast and she thought they were delicious made with thick bread. We also had the avocado toast on multigrain bread and it was good! The avocado was bright green! The breakfast was pretty standard fair. I also love the coffee comes in a carafe so I didn't have to wait for another cup! This place is a good neighborhood place!! I was a little disappointed at the way the scrambled eggs were cooked. They were almost diced up.

Tasty. Pretty. Good service. Love the orange mosaic.

Went to the LBI pancake house this morning with a friend. We always make one breakfast here every year when we come to LBI. As always, the food was on point and the freshly squeezed OJ could not be beat. What made this visit special was that the new owner Victor came around to greet us and get to know us as patrons. He was incredibly personable and I appreciated the time he took going around the restaurant to meet everyone. Happy to report that new ownership at this beach favorite hotspot comes with friendly faces and all the same food (and OJ) you know and love. Best of luck to the new owners. I will be returning next year!

The Food was so bad it was disgusting I ask the people next to me if they liked there food and they said it was bad too

Not only is the service wonderful, the food is EXCEPTIONAL! Everything is delicious and you simply feel at home here. I can't say enough how great this place is. My family and I come regularly and we love it!

Literally the best pancakes I've ever gotten, when we got there we were seated and gotten our drinks very quickly. The food came out minutes after ordering and the pancakes I ordered were so smooth and easy to cut into. They were delicious and I love this restaurant

Good service and a good meal at this establishment. Owners are very kind and friendly. They plan to hopefully keep the restaurant open for dinner during the summer months with a larger menu. We had breakfast but they told us that we have to return to try their cheesesteak and plan on taking them up on their offer.

Such a delightful spot for breakfast! Both indoor and outdoor dining. Carafes of coffee for the tables is a welcome plus. Enjoyed the delicious waffle with fresh blueberries. The staff was friendly and the owner stopped at each table to greet everyone and offered free coffee to celebrate Father's Day! Good food, reasonable prices, spotless and a personal touch. Can recommend without hesitation.

The service was most notable and outstanding. In a world where kindness has become a commodity, it is wildly refreshing to meet grounded and lovely people. Come for the waffles...it's a bonus and the coffee ain't too shabby either!

Great place for breakfast and more! The service was above excellent (if that's possible). A must visit, the pancakes were phenomenal!

2020 Update: Overall, still pretty good No wait. Coffee was above average for sure. The food was great as usual. However, outdoor seating area isnt ideal and the service took FOREVER this time around. 10 minutes to get coffee!? Seriously!? Still recommend for sure!

The blueberry pancakes are to die for! I get them every time I come and I'm never disappointed. The wait is never that long and the staff is always friendly. They also have great cold brew and fresh squeezed orange juice!

We come here every day for breakfast for the week we spend on LBI. The food is fresh and amazing the staff is friendly and courteous and the owners are gracious. Highly recommend!

Walked right in and sat down-Food was delicious...staff is extremely friendly...prices good Victor checked on us we had very light conversation Will absolutely br returning

Have been coming here sense I was 5 I am 13 now and the food gets better every time! Can't recommend more.

Service was great but the food was really bad. Their scrambled eggs tasted like paper. Wouldn't go back.

Stopped in for breakfast on the way out of town! Really good pancakes and eggs! Staff was pleasant!

I enjoyed my breakfast of Peach pancakes, freshly squeezed OJ (even found a seed :-) ), bacon, and Coffee. They also offer REAL maple syrup! The staff were friendly and efficient. The establishment is clean. There is even a train that runs on an elevated track for kids of all ages to watch.

The pancakes were raw, not cooked enough at all so we asked if they could make more and of course they said yes and took the raw ones back but the new pancakes were also raw and burnt on one side. The french toast was raw as well in the middle and the eggs were undercooked. Would not recommend.

We're from up north and this is one of the best breakfast place down here. This is a family owned business, the owners also the chef and came out of the kitchen to go up to each and every table greeting them. The food was so fresh and delicious. Such a nice atmosphere I'll be back !

Cash only at location but they do offer online ordering for pick up and they also have outdoor dining. The wife got their Belgium waffle with a side of sausage. I got the breakfast sandwich on a bagel with two over easy eggs and sausage with a side of bacon. The breakfast sandwich was great and it came with seasoned home fries. A little pricy but good place to order from.

Breakfast was delicious! The pancakes with peaches were amazing!! Outside seating was roomy and shady! A perfect breakfast!

Avoid. Mismanaged and terrible service. Waited 48 minutes to place our order. Asked the host to see our waitress and was ignored. Tried to call our waitress over and she waved us off while taking the two tables who sat after us order. Save yourself and go to the Sandbox Cafe -- the sizzler is amazing!
