The Pancake Kitchen

Very good

Beautiful atmosphere, staff went out of their way to make our grandmother’s birthday special with a surprise candle in her pancake. Food delicious serving size still too large for me, would satisfy a big eater. The chicken parma was cooked perfectly.
Would give a 5/5 and definitely recommend this business.

No access as we had a pram. Let’s not even talk about the squishy spaces.
I did not enjoy being at this place at all. The atmosphere was just pathetic. Couldn’t even get a proper receipt after the meals.
The potato chips were just too oily and seemed to have been from the previous serving. They were also under cooked.
I would not recommend anyone wasting their time and money here!

Had the steak for the first time and it was good. Pleasant, prompt service as usual.

Great food and service. The staff are friendly, especially the one who was responsible for our table. He keep an eye on our table from the order to the end of the meal. One of our dishes was served late but we were ok with it as the waiter was apologised for it and offered a free soft drink for that. The pancakes were yummy, Mexican crepes was great, the steak was okay. With the discount from first table, the value was awesome. Thank you for your service.

No doubt this is my family’s favourite restaurant. The staff are exceptional always 5/5 for service . Food is excellent meals are very large serves and I’m grateful we could take left overs home so not to feel guilty for wasting food. I enjoyed the fresh rhubarb and raspberries pancakes. My son added the hot chocolate drink to his order and loved it with the added marshmallows. Lovely night out. Thank you.

Food came fast and the staff were friendly. Reliable option.

We had a lovely table next to the fire, perfect for a cold night. Our order was taken promptly and our food arrived quickly. Our meals were delicious! We enjoyed a game of chess too.

I can barely type this: being in a 12-hours-later food coma makes writing difficult. But hungry folk need to know this: the Pancake Kitchen is a rocker of worlds, a buster of guts, a saviour of sweet (and savoury!) tooths. I devoured their Mexican combo pancakes, a treat in themselves, before moving on to a whopping dessert share with my family. The tiramisu pancakes were decadent and divine, and the sweet pancake medley was an outrage of the best possible kind, a tastebud tour of four of the most lush toppings ever to pass my lips and loosen my belt. Pancake Kitchen, you have been warned: we’ll be back!

A straightforward First Table experience. All good.

Great food. First time at the resturant in Ballarat. Same quality in food, service and decore as other stores.

Great food, so filling!

Friendly staff and pancakes reliable as always.

Lovely night out with the family. Food was fast and fresh. Service was attentive. Super fun evening. Kids particularly liked the giant chess game next to our table.

Enthusiastic service and reliable tasty food as always!

Fun, family-friendly restaurant atmosphere. Staff were eager to be of assistance, impressive after their numerous trips up and down the stairs.
Cosy dining seating arrangements highly recommended for the introverted type who don't like people looking over their shoulder!

Only difficulty was the personal struggle of whether to go with the savoury or the sweet options and deciding if chocolate chip pancakes with a blue heaven ice cream soda could qualify as a well-balanced, nutritious dinner!!

Would highly recommend First Table for a great way to enjoy regular restaurant dining for the family that won't break the budget.

The service at Pancake Kitchen was fantastic and the food was tasty. My kids enjoyed a game of chess there as well! The best of all was booking through First Table saved us $35 !! Great value! Thank you. We'll definitely use First Table again ~ it's so simple and make a family dining out much easier!

This was our second visit, this time we tried savoury meals . I had the fish on potato pancake it was perfectly cooked , still very large meals even though I ordered small serve, so would certainly satisfy a big eater . The staff are excellent and go out of their way to provide a enjoyable atmosphere. My son loves the kids activities offered before the meal . Highly recommend dining here . Looking forward to returning and working our way through the menu.

We were celebrating our son's 4th birthday and because of his strong love of all things pancake we chose to dine the Pancake Kitchen Ballarat. The staff were great decorating an area of the restuarant with balloons and streamers and bringing out an amazing birthday dessert for the birthday boy with chocolate fudge topping, marshmallows, strawberry, banana, sprinkles, icecream... it was the best. And the look on his little face was priceless!

From the second we walked in the door, we felt at home. Very friendly, speedy service. Fantastic hot and delicious food and plenty of it. Well worth every cent and we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend

We loved the old school restaurant and view from the top floor! Service was fast and the food was plentiful. Be prepared for massive serves and a sugar overload! Thanks pancake kitchen, we had a fun night.

We don’t usually get to eat out much, life is busy and the costs can add up! Once we heard about First Table and found out that Ballarat’s iconic Pancake Kitchen was involved we knew that’s where we would be going!
The staff were very friendly and greeted us the moment we stepped foot in the door.
Our son ordered a Pancake stack with butter and syrup for his dinner and he couldn’t believe how big and fluffy the pancakes were!
My husband and I both ordered their meal deal - Either an entree and main or a main and dessert. Doing this combo saved a few dollars yet again.
We both ordered the Cottage Fries, myself as a main and my husband as an entree - par boiled potatoes in their skins, then fried and served with sour cream. They were delicious!
For main my husband ordered the Mexican Chicken Crepes - They had a mild chilli bite to them and he thoroughly enjoyed it!
I had the Barbarian Apple Pancakes for dessert - spiced apple and cinnamon on two fluffy pancakes. They were scrumptious.
Safe to say, we will be back!

With two small children who can be very noisy, it was gray to eat out when we had the restaurant to ourselves so we weren’t disturbing other diners.
The food was yummy and the service was great!
