My friends and I enjoy going here for lunch but most of the time for a late dinner after a bit of a night out.. Very convenient location, great well priced menu and of course some delicious pancakes, whether they be savoury or sweet.

Visited here today for lunch - using a voucher that cost $25.
Had a main meal each and a drink of our choice. Very good value indeed.
My first visit in over 20 years so brought back a lot of good memories for me.
Service was friendly and the meals were delicious.
Was not disappointed.

Approximate cost: $25

My friends and I eat here quite often, can always rely on some delicious pancakes. A voucher would be handy for our next visit.

I am so disappointed. There is nothing great on the menu I make better more creative pancakes at home inc chocolate pancakes and lemon myrtle butter pancakes. Their place was sticky and grubby and the only redeeming factor is they are open 24 hours which is handy for night on the town

This place is eternal, and a place where my sisters and I have a soft spot for. The reason, is that we always visited here when we were kids!
It's a pity the place is getting a little expensive now, although I imagine their overheads are quite high.

I will let you in on a little secret though: during Fringe season, it's where all the sideshow freaks and performers go when everything else is closed, so if you're after some atmosphere and a sighting of your favourite fringe star, try the Pancake kitchen late!

Open 24/7 there is a great range of tasty, fluffy pancakes on the menu with a variety of toppings. There is also non-pancake options too. Fast, efficient service with a busy atmosphere. Great for catch-ups with friends.

I think it is fabulous that this place is open 24/7 especially when out with friends and everything else is closed, we know we will always be able to go here.
Their pancakes are always delicious, have enjoyed their breakfast menu many times over. The staff are always prompt and friendly even at 2am, now that's not easy.
Very convenient and reliable.

It is so convenient with this place being open 24/7 as we were having a very late night out with friends and was really in the mood for some pancakes. Fortunately it wasn't busy, plenty of seating, our pancakes arrived promptly with the dutch chocolate pancakes being the most popular amongst us. I have previously tried breakfast here - bacon, eggs, snaggs. They don't just do pancakes, there are other menu items to choose from.
It was a great way to finish off our night.

Approximate cost: $12

Have been here many times over the years and never been disappointed. Really like that they are open 24/7 so you can drop in any times knowing they are open.

My husband has had the Pepper Steak numerous times as well as the Stockman's Breakfast, I just love their pancakes with so many different toppings, but a favourite is their Cajun Chicken. Always found our meals to be extremely fresh and tasty and service, fast and friendly.

Prices are still very reasonable starting from around $10. Will definitely be returning and definitely recommend. Yum!

I love 24/7 places as I know I can go there whenever i want and they'll always be open, No room for disappointment! I visit the pancake kitchen a lot as my boyfriend absolutely loves pancakes. I'm always taken aback by the range of flavours; it's awesome. There's sweet and savoury variations and both are delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient and we always get greeted when we walk in the door.

I have been here so many times that I cannot count, as it is one of my girlfriends favourite places to eat because they are open 24/7. Never been disappointed here, always received quality food for very reasonable prices and the staff are always friendly. Never had to wait long for our delicious orders even when there have been 8 in our group. Great place.

Wow this place has stood still. No updates in 20 years since I went there in my twenties. Price is average and so too are the pancakes really. Its one of those places you would go once every twenty years I think or perhaps only after quite a few drinks as ambiance is not much at all and neither are the pancakes. Although its table service you have to pay up front which was a little strange.

RedDwarf 08 Nov 2013

I have to disagree with you, I go here often with friends and really enjoy the pancakes.

becs3 18 Nov 2013

What a shame. I often walk past and think I should pop in for a visit. I think I will give it a miss.

I like the fact that this place is open 24/7, it suits me just fine. It's great that they don't just serve pancakes, you can also order steak or chicken as well as the breakfast meal, I really enjoy the Stockman's Breakfast. I often go here with friends instead of the usual fast food. Also the staff are friendly and we were served very quickly. The meals really are great and reasonably priced. That's why I keep going back. Try them!

I have been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. Love the Dutch Chocolate Pancakes with whipped cream and choc fudge (my kids favourite). My husband of course prefers steak (doesn't have a sweet tooth). I have found that their menu is reasonably priced for what you get. Always fast friendly service, and I like the fact that it is 24/7. Very convenient.

I'm very disappointed with this place, mainly because I've high expectations for iT. I've always loved this place in the past and would always come here at least once oR twice a month for my favourite strawberry pancakes. But after it had been renovated the prices went up like crazy and the serving sizes shrunk so much. I had the farmers breakfast and my friend had the German feast and we were so shocked to see how tiny the serving sizes were when they were served. So after that I didn't go back there again

This is a classic Adelaide eatery, open 27/7 for all your breakfast meal needs any time of day. Their pancakes are second to none, with more varieties of sweet delicious toppings than you can poke a stick at. They also have a range of mouth watering complete breakfast meals, comprising pancakes, bacon, eggs and sausage. The decor is very retro, with cosy booths for that perfect date.

livvylou 16 Aug 2013

I didnt realise this place was still open. I remember wagging school and hanging out at Tilt and my friends and I would go and have pancakes. Thanks for my memories. Will have to revisit

It has been a long time between visits but it still looks the same, smells the same and the pancakes taste the same. I'm not sure if a revamp is needed or whether it would lose its charm. Service was a little slow - we either got attended by no-one or inundated with staff. Not all drinks were brought out and then we were over charged. Very apologetic. The food however was a treat. You can't but want to return - if only for the food!

Oh my god, the pancake kitchen! Have you been there? It is a funny little place, the service is terrible and some of the main meal options are a little crappy, but the pancakes are amazing. It's such a fun place to go with young kids or with a group of girls.

During the Adelaide Fringe, a lot of performers and front of house people go there too, because it is such a great no-fuss eatery (I hesitate to call it a restaurant!) and it's open all hours.

My favourite is the Russian Blintz. I'm lactose intolerant but I'll always brave the tummy ache for the delicious, amazing cream cheese filling.

Worth a visit if you don't mind weird decor and want to have some fun!

This place has been around for as long as I remember (and looks it) It is kind of shabby, the service is not always friendly and the prices are a bit high, but the pancakes are wonderful and it is open 24 hours a day.

It is a good place to go if you want to have pancake in various style. I think they have delicious pancake and I like the scramble egg. Just the price is a bit expensive for pancake meals. Its within the walking distance in the CBD which is practical. One thing I hope that they can improve the interior look.

This cafe is great for pancakes only! Staff are not very friendly and could be happier to work here. The smell is quite strong in the small venue but the quality of the pancakes is what makes me go back again. Very old venue and has good reputation in Adelaide

I love their pancakes. They have a huge variety on their menu. Convenient being open 24/7. I do agree with everyone else it does need to be renovated it is looking old and tired.

Been around for years. Is an Adelaide icon and open all hours, and the feed is always reasonable.
