Editorial Review for Uncle Bill's Pancake House – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Lines of hungry surfers awaiting a wooden table contribute to the hectic outdoor scene, while more tranquil beach-themed pictures adorn inside walls. Standard lunch items are offered, but breakfast rules this roost. Specialty pancakes, with berries, bananas, chocolate chips or nuts make a complete meal. Omelette aficionados have a range of choices, including the basic Jack cheese and avocado selection; the Greek, filled with feta; and the Hawaiian, featuring pineapple and honey baked ham.

I'll start with the ugly and and end with the nicest parts of uncle bill in my opinion Wait time- Pretty long (30min-2hrs) this can be combated with either a nice walk around town or waiting in the line to sit at the counter (wait time for conter has been 5-15min.) The only con with the counter is the tight seating and the feeling that one of the wait staff will drop something on you. Coffee/Orange juice-The orange juice does not taste real...more like chemical aftertaste or tang mied with grapefruit juice. The coffee makes my stomach upset. Cleanliness of place-not to sound picky, but teh dishes and cups never really look clean and that makes me loose my appatitie. Quality of food- ehh i guess this one depends on what you get. Omlettes are AMAZING. Pancakes are served soggy from the runny fake cool whip. Cost- Very cheap...which is good for this area. People sitting next to you there- Always friendly!

So I was looking for a breakfast place for my boyfriends birthday. I knew no matter where we went there would be some sort of wait, considering it was fathers day. So we park right behind the restarant and theres a good butt load of people outside, we put our name in and take a stroll down the street to starbucks- which was equally crowded. They let us know that the wait would be an hour- but we enjoyed walking around and just enjoying the perfectly beautiful sunday morning. We finally sat down- and since we had time to spare we had already decided on what we wanted. (I always recomend that at a place like Uncle Bills- if the menu is out side, decide on your meal and be ready the first time the server comes around) so about... 5 minutes after we order she brings us the muffins from my meal... holy moly super warm, cinnimon-y apple-y walnutty goodness! so we muched on those and about another 5 minutes later our order was up. I got the Manhattan omlette (the rumors are true. big old heaping helpings)- my fella enjoyed pancakes, taters and eggs. the food was good- what we expected. I would for sure make the hour or so drive down- and make a day out of it. theres plenty to do and see in the area.
