We really don't want to know how to pronounce the name of this sunny little brunch spot in Lincoln Square, but we did want to know more about the Dutch-style pancakes they serve. Thicker than a crepe, these nearly foot-long-wide pancakes come in flavors like chocolate and banana, ginger raisins and an artery-clogging bacon and cheese. Think Walker Brother's bacon waffles but without the drive...

Named for star menu item - a traditional Dutch pancake - this tiny cafe only seats 20 at a time. Not a problem: turnover’s quick, and gathered crowds – a coffee-holding, rumpled-tees-and-jeans grupster set - get seated quickly. Decorations are sparse, but no one's queuing up for the wooden tulip centerpieces. Although the pannenkoekens are slightly intimidating in width (as these things flop...

The biggest thing about this miniscule Lincoln Square spot are the namesake pancakes.

In Short
The miss-able storefront along Western is just behind the quaint Lincoln Square strip--a pity, as Western is busy. Things improve inside, where pea-green and eggshell yellow are...

Eat at Pannenkoeken regularly. Service is always great. I usually get the Pannenkoeken with bacon and mushrooms. Prices are fair for the value. Only drawback is that there is limited seating and no waiting area. Pretty tough to get in on the weekends, but weekdays usually have no wait.

Tiny, cramped storefront restaurant bursting with Danish charm. Coffee was passable, chicken sausage, mushroom, and cheese pannenkoeken was good albeit something we could have accomplished at home, but we were impressed with the cranberry walnut French toast - thick Challah slices washed …

No common sense. They only have 3 tables that fit more than 2. A 2 top was before and after us. One of the large tables opened up and a 2 top was going to finish in 10 minutes. This woman sat a 2 top at the large table. The other table opens up and she looks at us and says we'll have to wait for one of …

This place serves very good gluten free pancakes, as well. They are more of the classic pancake variety, as opposed to the thinner Dutch pancake, but it's still nice to be given the option. You can get them plain, or with fruit (blueberries, etc). While you're waiting for one of the few tables, visit Merz's …

When I eat at Pannenkoeken, I can't help but picture a Dutch grandmother back in their kitchen making my meal entirely from scratch. That's the homey feel here. Maybe it's also that they have I think 5-6 tables in what's the tiniest sit down restaurant I've ever been to. I walk by every day on my way to …

Tips about this business (3)

When to Go

If you must eat Dutch, but the thought of waiting outside, potentially in the cold, for a table that may as well be communal, try weekday mornings starting at 6am.

Know Before You Go

You've heard it's small. That is an understatement. Put it this way: If there is a wait for a table, which is almost a certainty, no one---not even the next in line---will be waiting inside.

Parking

Surprisingly, Western can turn over spots relatively quickly. Do a few laps but be prepared to pounce.
