When our move to the Chicago area was only a rumor, we did what smart women do - we turned to Google. We googled everything and one of the first restaurants we got really interested in was Walker Bros. The Original Pancake House.

We are big breakfast fans and the very idea that we would not be anywhere near a Waffle House scared us to the core of our very southern bodies.

Walker Bros. was one of the first restaurants we ate at when we arrived in the area for our house hunting visit. The Glenview branch is very, very close to the house we decided to rent and if truth be known, one of the reasons why I was in favor of renting this little yellow house.

On our first visit we were seated relatively quickly (for Walker Bros. which is ALWAYS packed) in a very nice corner booth and we took our time figuring out what to order. I went for the spinach crepes because I have yet to find spinach crepes that I love and I’m ever hopeful. These are not spinach crepes that I love. They were fine but not love-worthy. TW ordered some pancake variation and enjoyed her meal much more than I did mine.

We’ve been back to Walker Bros. several times, taking various combinations of all of the kids with us and we’ve always enjoyed our breakfasts. We’ve had everything from the pumpkin pancakes to the challah french toast to the chocolate chip crepes to the apple pancake.

Just writing this post makes me wonder if it isn’t time for another trip to Walker Bros. Original Pancake House. Saturday morning, possibly?
