Five Forks Cafe

Our first stop on our visit to all of the pancake house in the Williamsburg area was five forks cafe. The food was so good we forgot to take pictures.

Our review:

Rating: 8.5

Parker rates it a 9 (doesn't want to rate it a 10 when we haven't tried other places yet), while I rated it an 8.

My order: Chocolate chip pancake

Parker's order: The Eggs Benedict special

Total price: 28.03

My Chocolate Chip Pancake was huge, taking up the entire large plate. It was very good, and Parker says it was the best they'd ever had.

The eggs benedict came with a country fried ham/bacon, which Parker gave to me. It had a maple flavor, but maybe that was just residual syrup on my fork. It paired very well with the chocolate chip pancake. The eggs benedict was also served with a side of hashed potatoes. They were good but didn't stand out.

Our coffee was pretty good, regular for a diner, they had half and half as creamer and both sugar and artificial sweeteners.

Overall the food was great, the vibes of the diner were friendly. The man ringing up our bill was wearing a pepe the frog hoodie, which Parker and I felt important to mention.

Parker also felt important to mention that they had visited before with their dad.

We definitely recommend this cafe, particularly for anyone looking to get away from the tourist attractions on Richmond Road.

We're looking forward to trying more restaurants soon.

Wikipedia defines pancake house as "A pancake house, pancake and waffle house or waffle house is a restaurant that specializes in breakfast items such as pancakes, waffles, and omelettes, among other items."

Some stops on this "tour" may not be considered a pancake house by some, but the restaurants selected all fit this definition in some way.
