Paula's Pancake House - Solvang, California

After hearing about this location for years, took the road trip up to Solvang to check out these delicious pancakes. We waited in line for almost an hour, and we’re finally seated. It’s a beautiful area with lots of trendy little shops. The service was really great and the people were really nice. The pancakes were OK and the danish sausage was really kind of different. I was sad. They don’t use real butter because who doesn’t love real butter. It’s very pricey and the portions are pretty small. The food came very quickly and was kind of hot it was a little weird that we got the pancakes and sausage and had to wait for five minutes to get our eggs which looked a little weird but everything tasted just OK

The vibe is good. It is quite busy during peak season so expect a long waiting line. The staff only call your name twice and if you do not show up, name crossed! So do not go too far!!!

Food side, I love Danish pancake here more than traditional pancake, it is a bit like crepe. The syrup is a bit thin and I think it is not maple. The hash brown is more like butter stirred potatoes than crispy harsh.

Overall the food is good. Come if you are staying across the street. But I would not bookmark it or just take a detour for this restaurant.

The Danish pancakes are delicious as well as the egg benetic with smoked salmon.
The service was great. My husband and I sat at the bar, and the waitress was very friendly and attentive.
The wait time was a bit long since it was a Sunday morning, but it was worth it.

Absolutely the beat breakfast place in Solvang hands down. The food was absolutely delicious and served in large portions. The service provided by the staff is quick, friendly, and efficient. I never had to ask for a single thing. The servers came by checking if we need anything. I loved the thin Danish pancakes, fluffy buttermilk pancakes are available also. It came with crispy thick cut bacon and fluffy scrambled eggs. Their hashbrown when ordered extra crispy were perfect. Plus, I tried a side order of Danish sausage. It's not as zesty as other sausages, but still very flavorful. I also found the price very reasonable. We arrived in the early morning and waited between 5 to 10 minutes for a table, which is not bad at all for a Sunday morning. If you get here later like 10 or 11 in the morning, you may have a long wait. Still, this is the place to go for breakfast in Solvang! Also, the servers wear cute Danish outfits that adds to the charm of the place. Everyone is so accommodating.

We never miss the opportunity to have breakfast here whenever we get chance to go to Solvang. It’s a must visit place. Just need to have patience as it’s crowded all the time. Try to avoid weekends if you can.

Really is worth the hype. The Danish pancakes and sausage were excellent. Service is fast. We got here right when they opened and were seated immediately but in general be prepared to wait.

The wait for a table was around 25 minutes, which was not bad given how crowded it was. The restaurant was cozy and decorated for the holiday season. I did not care too much for the food. The syrup seemed watered down as the orange juice did as well. The buttermilk pancake and waffles were decent. The Dutch pancake was just okay. Eggs were overly scrambled and dry. I added a Dutch sausage, which was probably the only thing that had any flavor. I spent a little under $70 for a family of 3, which was not bad, but I was definitely disappointed with the food.

Did quite a drive from Oxnard to Solvang to try this place out and I have to say it was so worth the drive and wait. waitress was nice food was so good I got the danish omelet and a order of danish pancakes and everything tasted great, orange juice is freshly squeezed will be back soon. I highly recommend this place if you’re willing to drive out there like myself.
