Pour Some Syrup on Yelp!
February 24


Fire up that frying pan yelpers, 'cause we're smack dab in the middle of National Pancake Week. Not a griddlecake guru yourself? Never fear! This Weekly Yelp is here to highlight the best places to grab your greenbacks and stack up some of the best pancakes in Miami. Batter up!

Everyone knows that flapjacks and fruit go together like the Yankees and steroid use (sorry A-Roid!), so where do you go for that culinary combo? Follow Cynthia M to Buena Vista Bistro for "the best strawberry pancakes, ever. Crispy and fluffy at the same time, fresh tart fruit and syrup all striking the perfect balance of yumminess for a modest seven dollars." Whew! To satisfy her need for fruity-licious hotcakes, Michelle C heads to Wagon's West for their piping hot blueberry stacks. Torrey R takes this pairing one step further, washing his down with a mimosa or three on the patio at GreenStreet Cafe, where you can "enjoy the fresh air outside and watch the people walking around." What a way to start the day!

Prefer a twist on the traditional? Try a tall tower of gooness covered with cognac maple syrup at Clarke's and you'll see why it's become Jordan N's "favorite brunch spot in Miami." If you get bored easily, Icebox's ever-evolving menu features "a 'pancake of the day' everyday for breakfast." These divine takes on 'cakes are just perfect for Francina P, who gushes, "Their tres leches pancake is heaven on Earth!" And why wait 'til morning? Rob C warns the sweet soft-rolled pancake dessert at late-night favorite Yambo is not to be missed. While Karan S was just visiting our fair city, he managed to discover the flaming pancake (literally, on fire) at El Rey Del Chivito: "Lit up thanks to Bacardi 151, this is a very crunchy pancake with caramel, a hint of 151 and topped with ice cream." Talk about a hotcake!

If all this sticky sweet talk is givin' you a toothache, you can always opt for savory a la Eve C. She indulges in succulent scallops on mini pancakes, laid on a bed of lentils at Talula: "The whole flavor combination worked to form an amazing dish!" Or do like Martin O, who enjoys his griddlecakes German style, and scarfs down "delicious" crispy potato pancakes served with apple sauce and sour cream at Schnitzel House. Mmm, we gotta run now, that's our Aunt Jemima IM-ing!

Aaron Z. on Jimmy's Eastside Diner
"As we all know diners in Miami (not named Denny's) are few and far between. Luckily for me Jimmy's is like 2 minutes from my house. We went for breakfast this morning and greatly enjoyed. Parking was easy, service was good and the prices were fair. The food? Well, it's diner food. Kinda hard to mess…"
Meli D. on Le Bouchon du Grove
"For brunch, this spot is definitely as good as it gets! It is a bit pricey, but they give complimentary mimosas upon arrival and it has great energy - they play fun, dance music and their French waiters a go, go, go! Their eggs benedict is my favorite of any restaurant so far, their pancakes are…"
Joshua M. on Deli Lane Cafe
"This is the best breakfast spot in town. It is great to be able to sit on the corner and watch people walk by as you enjoy of the the best breakfasts in town. If your not an early riser no need to worry as they serve breakfast all day long. If you don't want breakfast food their lunch is equally…"
