Since 1948, the Walker family name has become synonymous with quality family dining. The family has since perfected its reputation for outstanding gourmet pancakes and breakfasts. Our story begins when Victor and Everett Walker began opening snack shops in Evanston, IL. In 1960, they opened Walker Bros. Original Pancake House in Wilmette, IL. In 1981, Ray Walker and Richard Walker Sr., sons of Victor, opened Walker Bros. Original Pancake House in Glenview, IL. In 1989, Richard Walker Sr. ventured out on his own and opened Richard Walker's Pancake House in Schaumburg, IL. In 1996, Richard Sr. opened a second location in Crystal Lake, IL. In 2006, Richard Sr. relocated to San Diego and opened the third location in downtown San Diego, CA. In 2014, Richard Walker Jr. joined the family business and opened the fourth Richard Walker's Pancake House in La Jolla, CA. In 2019, Richard Jr. opened the fifth Richard Walker's Pancake House in Carlsbad, CA.

Best pancakes out there hands down! Frank is always our waiter and he always takes care of my family and I.

The food and coffee was good. Not the best I've ever had. Just your average American Diner food and coffee. Waited in line outside for about 30 minutes, and you can tell that they want you in and out as quickly as possible. Reaching over you while eating to take away plates, and putting the check on the table while still eating is quite rude to be honest. Potentially would go back in the future, but definitely not worth queuing outside for 30 minutes.

Great food! Was crowded but was seated rather quickly. There was also a small mess up with our order but they corrected it quickly. Still worth 5 stars!

Their food is awesome, unless you're super picky about food. If that's the case, you should go there and learn to be more appreciative of awesome food.

It moves pretty fast and it's worth the wait. Enjoy!

There were probably five groups ahead of us last time and the wait was only fifteen minutes.

Not that I am aware of.

No. Don't think so.

If you like sweets, I recommend any of the other dishes suggested, and the Crepes in particular are my absolute faves. But if sweet isn't your thing or you're not in the mood for it, then try the eggs benedict dishes or something with the potatoes and sausage. You just can't go wrong here. ?

Around $50 for a family of 4.
