When it comes to the perfect pancake, possibilities are practically endless here in New Jersey. Wherever you are in the Garden State, there’s a pancake house sure to delight. Singling out one spot and deeming it “the best” is impossible – everyone has a favorite and none of them are wrong. My personal favorite is Brownstone Pancake Factory in Edgewater. With the most magnificent milkshakes and pancake wraps that are to-live-for, you can learn more about them by clicking here.
Uncle Bill’s Pancake House is the breakfast king of the Jersey Shore with locations in Avalon, Cape May, North Cape May, Ocean City, Stone Harbor, Strathmere and Wildwood – the Avalon and North Cape May locations are open year-round! It’s not just their creative concoctions and variety of toppings that makes them stand out…you can get all kinds of pancakes. Try buttermilk, buckwheat, Iowa corn, hearty potato, or French pancakes made from a secret recipe.
Head up to Central Jersey and you’ll want to check out PJ’s Pancake House with locations in Princeton, West Windsor, and Kingston – additional locations will be opening soon in Ewing and Robbinsville! Try their pancake sampler and enjoy multiple flavors at once. I’d go with s’mores, tiramisu, and spicy apple. They’ve recently added lunch and dinner items to their menu, so be sure to check those out as well.
North Jersey is pretty much pancake heaven. Maywood Pancake House is magnificent and Rutherford Pancake House is the perfect place to bring your vegan friends. If you’re looking for chain eats, Original Pancake House (with locations in Whippany, West Caldwell, and Fort Lee), offers heavenly oven baked pancakes! Today’s featured eatery is also located in North Jersey…
Country Pancake House And Restaurant is located at 140 E Ridgewood Avenue, Ridgewood.

While this casual, cash only spot isn’t fancy, it IS fantastic.

French toast is another breakfast favorite…there are over two dozen choices. When it comes to waffles, you’ll find 50+ varieties. And the fritatas…they’re unforgettable.
