Pig 'N Pancake — Restaurant in Astoria

Their servers need some real training. When I'm being ignored or forgotten or just "left alone", five or ten minutes can feel like forever. I had no idea who our server was until she finally walked up to the table. Then she asked if we were ready or would we like more time. My wife and I both blurted "No! We're ready" before she left again. She suggested the sourdough cakes over the classic cakes, and they were worth trying, but after she dropped off our food and brought me more coffee, I never saw her again. She never asked if liked the sourdough cakes (I did); never checked if we wanted more coffee or water. I was wondering when she'd bring the check, then noticed it under the creamer caddy. She must have stuck it under there when she brought me that one coffee refill. She didn't even acknowledge it when she did it. I tipped about 18% but that's only because I'm in the restaurant business and can't bring myself to tip poorly no matter how neglected I feel. The servers here should be taught about check-backs and table touching. Just because we're not your table doesn't mean you can't smile and acknowledge us. Every table is your table. Every guest is your guest. I've been looking forward to this restaurant since the last time we were in Astoria years ago. Now I just feel disappointed and a little cheated having spent $60 for a meal I would have gotten for $30 at Denny's. Your food is better, but it ain't 2X better. You hurt my feelings...

Needed to stop somewhere for a quick lunch, and saw this place. Don't let the exterior fool you, this place is way larger inside than it looks! Really comfortable chairs, clean tables, and a really nice classic diner atmosphere to really top it all off.

Staff were very pleasant, and very quick.

The menu seems more fit for breakfasts and lunches, but there are a few nice dinner options, if you're not a vegetarian. If you're vegetarian, there's pancakes, eggs, waffles, but oddly no salads since they all have meat.

The food was just jaw dropping. I haven't seen such large portions at a diner yet, and the bread choices (and taste) were overwhelming! The toast was done to perfection and buttered just right. The eggs were perfectly cooked and complemented by excellent cheese and vegetables.

Of course, with a pancakes in the name and a menu of this size, how could you not order pancakes. The pancakes were cooked to perfection, with slightly crispy edges, and fluffy throughout. The cream was a perfect cherry on top, not sweetened, so it didn't just destroy you when you added syrup.

If you're passing by, this is definitely a great place to stop at for a meal, and if you're staying at the retro looking Atomic Motel right across the street, Pig'N Pancake is a great place to have breakfast...

I brought my family here for the first time in over 10 years. My meal was a sausage and cheese omelet with sourdough pancakes on the side. The sausage was your basic frozen sausage with Tillamook cheese which was the best part.

The rest of our food was pancakes. We had a mix of buttermilk and sourdough. The buttermilk pancakes were about half the size as I remember and there was nothing buttermilk about them. They were not good and certainly not worth the money. Now the worst part, the sourdough pancakes. My family eats sourdough pancakes frequently from a wide variety of locations and homemade. I would never expect them to be as good as homemade but they are hands down the worst pancakes I have ever eaten in my life. Not only did the flavor make me want to vomit, they were about 2/3 the size. Do yourself a favor and avoid the sourdough as they ABSOLUTELY not real sourdough in the furthest stretch of your imagination. The only good part is the service. The waitress was nice however she did appear to almost get offended when I told her the pancakes sucked. All that said it cost us $95 for two omelets, three kids meals and two cups of coffee. I will never visit this restaurant chain again and I recommend going...
