Kristin’s, Braintree, MA

The Phantom Gourmet crowned Kristin’s one of the best breakfast restaurants in the South Shore. Even better, she typically has close to two dozen options for pancakes on her menu. Try cookie dough pancakes, raspberry cheesecake pancakes, buttercrumb pancakes and more.

Freddy’s Place, Middleton, MA

Freddy’s Place doesn’t have a big variety of pancake options, but the few he serves up are well worth every bite. Even better than your choice of chocolate chip, plain, blueberry or pancakes topped with strawberries and whipped cream is the option to choose exactly how many pancakes you want. Some folks can’t eat even a short stack before getting really full. At Freddy’s Place if you want just one pancake, that’s exactly what you’ll get.

The Friendly Toast, Multiple locations

Everything you order at the Friendly Toast is delicious, and their pancakes are no exception. Order one or two—they’re huge—and choose from blueberry, chocolate chip, banana or plain.
