What customers say?

“ Richard Walker’s Pancake House was a nice breakfast stop during our time in San Diego. It’s located in a prime area. We were able to park nearby and take a short five-minute walk down to La Jolla Cove afterward, which made for the perfect morning. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and clearly popular with locals. Now, I’ll be honest… the neighborhood is very homogenous, and being the only Black family in the restaurant felt a bit underwhelming. The overall vibe was polite but not particularly warm or welcoming. Our waiter was nice enough, just not the kind of engaging service I’m used to in more diverse or lively spots. San Diego’s culture definitely has a more reserved feel to it, which took some getting used to. As for the food, it was good but a little on the bland side. Be prepared to reach for the salt and pepper! My son thought his meal was a “10 out of 10,” but what does he know lol? (He’s very easy to please when it comes to breakfast!) The pancakes were fluffy, the portions were very generous—we could’ve shared and everything came out hot and fresh. All in all, it’s a solid breakfast choice with good food, friendly enough service, and a great location. Not the most flavorful meal I’ve had, but definitely worth a stop if you’re in the La Jolla area. ”

“ The menu has more variety of many breakfast classics than you can imagine - including a wide variety of German, Swedish and French. We split a waffle that was half pecan waffle / half plain and got a side order of scrambled eggs with cheese. Perfect. The service was attentive, friendly and helpful. The seating is comfy enough. The only “nock” is that the atmosphere is very sterile and corporate-like. It would be hard to make it more boring. It isn’t a put off - but not welcoming either. We will be back though. ”

“ Great portion sizes. I couldn’t even finish the omelette and I can usually eat! I got the Mediterranean omelette and my husband got the San Diego French toast. The fruit that came with the French toast was fresh and delish. The omelette comes with a side and I chose the hashbrowns, they were extra crispy which I love. ”
