The Original Pancake Kitchen

Best Known For

The original and still the best, fluffy buttermilk pancake stack served with whipped butter and maple syrup.

Adelaide foodies say howdy pardner to authentic American diner fare at The Original Pancake Kitchen on Gilbert Place in the city. This iconic eatery draws locals and visitors alike to reminisce over the good old days, either alfresco at bright blue table settings where you can grab a coffee from the window; or indoors among wood panelling, vintage clocks, suspended globes and blackboards displaying specials. Ordering a fluffy buttermilk pancake stack is a given, opt for Jamaican banana and ice cream, or Dutch chocolate with fudge sauce; those with a savoury bent can wrap their hands around a slow-cooked pulled pork burger with cucumber, sliced tomato, onion, cheese and aioli, on an Aussie damper bun with chips. For a light snack, try hickory smoked chicken wings and spicy buffalo sauce.
