Kate's Pancake House - Breakfast restaurant in Carolina Beach - 102 Lake Park Blvd S, USA

Best run business in the area. Beyond efficient. Small breakfast house with delish home-cooked meals. Fresh and well prepared southern breakfast along with many new school options. Grits were among the best I've ever had. And I eat them several times a week. Friendliest and hardest working staff I've ever seen. The lines look long, but they MOVE EM IN AND OUT like clockwork. We wanted to try, but despite EVERYONE saying the wait would go fast. We didn't believe them. Until our hotel "neighbors" went and ate breakfast in the same time we took a morning stroll on the beach. I said, "with THAT LINE?" So we tried it and am so glad we did! All while making you feel welcomed and not rushed. It was 100 degrees and they had a super efficient host, ice water, seating, tents and awning cover. People were seated and served so quickly it's unbelievable. You see the employees and even managers working like a well-oiled machine. Still taking time to chit chat. We overheard a young mom had parked in a no parking area. A manager came over to sit w her kids so they didn't have to stop eating and mom could move her car. So nice! I hope you all tip well, they deserve it.

All American Pancake House with delicious food. We waited 35 minutes, and it was well worth it. I had the egg white spanish omelet with grits and loved it. Those grits are one of the best I ever had in the South. Family had death by chocolate pancakes and enjoyed it tremendously. French toast with bacon, excellent. A great variety of breakfast items to choose from. Very friendly and efficient staff. The owner seats you. Our waitress was the best, too! Looking forward to our next visit!

Stopped here for breakfast on a weekend trip, and so glad I did! I ordered the big breakfast combo, which was superb. The pancakes and waffles were light and delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly alongside some fat sausage links. The service was incredibly friendly and prompt, considering they were packed with their Sunday crowd. The waitress was sure to refill coffee every time she passed the table. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I loved all the faith based decor. I will be coming back on my next trip!

The hostess was super nice. We called in to ask if we can do a takeout order, because I'm immune compromised and my heart rate sky rockets at restaurants. Another person answered on the phone and agreed. When my husband picked up the order a woman was making him uncomfortable by staring him down and rolling her eyes while my daughter mentioned it was busy and how good the food must be. Pictured is the dry French toast with no syrup offered when my husband asked, they could at least offer to pour some before. My daughter's death by chocolate pancakes didn't have chocolate drizzle. And my husband's omelette had raw vegetables in it and Italian dressing as the Cajun sauce. The potatoes were good but overall food quality was a miss. Please update Google and Yelp to say no takeout orders that way you're not wasting both sides time.

Kate's pancake house is amazing. Good food, good service and good atmosphere. They give great portions and the waiters pay attention, are kind, and respectful. They keep smiles on their faces. We ate there 3 times during our vacation stay. I loved the Very Berry pancake, you don't even need syrup because of the whipped cream and fruits!

I found this place a few years ago and I really loved it. Like every place these days, they seem to be doing their best to accommodate everyone. But due to their popularity they stay packed and there is normally a wait to get in. And once you're seated, it does take a bit to get your order. Normally the food is amazing, I love how creamy their grits are, but the food must be sitting a bit in the kitchen. While it is still very good, it is not as hot as I'd like for it to be, but still tasty. A true hot spot for the locals as well as the regular tourists, and the waiters/waitresses are extremely friendly. I definitely recommend that when you have a chance you need to check this place out!

While we had to wait a little bit to be seated (party of 7), the hostess did well to keep us updated. My kids got the hot chocolates which were a great size, wonderfully presented, and delicious. I got the Irish Benedict, and my kids got the trios of little pancakes. The mini pancakes are what I would consider a large pancake! Everything was very tasty and presented very nicely. Service was prompt, especially for how busy it was. I would definitely recommend this place for vacationers!

Amazing food , Amazing service thanks to the best, Jada!! Definitely a 10/10 , no complaints about this visit!! I got the French toast plus subbed home fries & cream cheese toast add strawberries & WOW
