It was Sunday morning and we woke up with an empty fridge. Where were we going to eat? We kept going back and forth, then when my wife suggested we go here. We were definitely going into uncharted territory considering no one had ever reviewed this restaurant with new owners.
Our waitress was very patient with us as we studied the menu. She kept checking on us and after her third visit back we finally were ready to order.
I must tell you that the prices are great and the portions are even bigger. If you're looking for a decent quality breakfast, then this is the place.
I ordered the House Omelette which had ham, peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheddar & mozzarella cheese. It also came with mushrooms but I asked to have those omitted. I'm not really a mushroom fan. It also came with hash browns, which I ordered crispy and I also had a choice of pancakes or toast. Personally pancakes always wins that battle for me. That was a lot of food for just $7.75.
The rest of my crew ordered a Skillet breakfast that was loaded with hash browns, veggies & eggs. Again there was a choice of pancakes or toast. And pancakes took a commanding 2-0 lead. Sorry toast but your toast.
My little one got a feast for $3.75. She got two sunny side eggs, 2 bacon, hash browns and toast. That's the best deal ever. I want a kids meal next time. Pancakes wasn't offered as choice for the kids meal, even though the little one tried claiming one of the two side pancake plates as part of her breakfast. Smart kid!
Our food arrived very quickly. I also want to note that the restaurant was starting to fill up slowly. We may have been one of the first ones in but we weren't alone anymore.
My breakfast was really good. I ate my hash browns first and they were they way I like them. I then moved on to my pancakes and enjoyed every bite. Finally I moved on to the my omelette and it was delicious. I loved at how fluffy and juicy it was on the inside. It was cooked perfectly. I'm very picky when it comes to breakfast because I'm the family breakfast chef but I will gladly hand over my frying pan to the cooks here any morning.
My wives skillet was really good. She gave me 3 bites. I was really surprised she was sharing it with me because it was very good. My little one was very quiet which is a sign that the food is good. A silent kid at the table is a happy kid. She really wants a Yelp account and after eating her breakfast she would give this place 5 stars.
We didn't meet the cooks but we were able to see them cooking in the kitchen. One of them gave us a smile and a wave as we left. I thought that was really cute.
We also stopped to talk to the owner, Spiro. I wanted to tell him how happy I was he opened up his restaurant here. He seemed a little quiet at first. I think he thought I was going to complain. I told him I'm sure everyone only tells him bad things but today I was going to tell him nice things. He seemed to crack a smile. He then opened up to us and was really proud to tell us he bought the building, installed new carpeting, put on a new roof & upgraded with a new kitchen. We also learned that he owned Squire Restaurant in Antioch, IL for 24 years but was forced out of his business when Walgreens bought the land. Again corporate greed wins over family business. Walgreens already had a location across the street which now sits vacant. So Antioch's loss is Paddock Lakes gain. It took me 10 years but I've finally found the Promised Land and its Antonia's Pancake House. Such a great addition to the town and welcome...
Read moreWe had brunch 🍳 at Antonia’s Pancake House in Salem Lakes, Wisconsin and it turned out to be the perfect choice! One of the things that makes Antonia’s stand out is that they serve breakfast all day, which worked out great since I was craving breakfast while the rest of the group wanted lunch. I remember several of our followers recommending this spot, so I knew I had to check it out while I was in town.
I went with the Cinnamon French Toast Combo, which came with two eggs 🪺 two strips of bacon 🥓, and a side of hashbrowns. The eggs were perfectly scrambled, though I will say the portion looked a little small — it didn’t quite seem like two full eggs. The bacon was nice and crispy, the hashbrowns were golden and cooked just right, and the cinnamon French toast? Absolutely delicious 🤤
Melissa ordered the cheeseburger meal, which came with fries and a pickle. She said it was fantastic and was impressed by the size and flavor of the burger 🍔 — definitely a win on the lunch side of the menu.
Aubree and Hunter both ordered from the kids’ menu. One got the grilled cheese and the other the chicken tenders. They both enjoyed their meals overall, but Hunter noted that his chicken tenders were a bit too tough he had to pull them apart just to take a bite, which was a little disappointing 😔
Despite that, we had a great experience overall. The service was excellent our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.
Antonia’s Pancake House truly shines with its huge menu, warm hospitality, and commitment to freshly made food. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic breakfast or a filling lunch, it’s a great spot for a family-friendly and satisfying dining experience in...
Read moreMy son treated me to breakfast this morning and due to time constraints we stayed local instead of going to a favorite place a little bit further away. We both ordered chocolate milk and that was brought right away. I opened my straw and went for a big drink. It was sour!! It was disgusting!! The waitress was at another table and I called her over to just bring us water. She did. She also took our orders. We both got a combo with an extra side. Someone else brought our food to the table. Everything looked good, but they didn’t bring the extra sides. I assumed it was coming from our server or in a second trip. It never came. Neither woman came to check on our meal. Eventually an older gentleman came and I told him of the problem. He left and brought the items quickly. By that time my eggs were cold, waiting for my toast. I ate one egg with the toast and decided to eat the second piece of buttered toast without the cold egg. It tasted like cardboard covered with saw dust. I see now why it’s been years since...
