Wow! I had the chicken and waffles, the chicken was delicious! I'm not sure it was worth the $13.99, but it was good. The waffle could of been hotter. The taste was good. My daughter had an...

I have been going to the National Pancake house for many years (15). The manager/owner (Joan) is a great lady. Service is exceptional and the food is more than adequate and taste great.

Coffee at $1.95 per cup would have been fine if the coffee
was good and fresh not like watered down. Waffles and and pancakes as expected. We were a group of 6 and not one of us is likely to visit again. Maybe the franchise pancake houses would do better because they have a quality to maintain. - J. Aragon

Just average, won't return due to the poor service and tasteless food. You're strictly a customer, and there for the money

It was average at best. The hot chocolate was good. Eggs runny, bacon good, fried chicken and waffles was overlooked. Service was great. I like going to local places and not chains... But nothing stood out.

We were looking for breakfast and noticed 6 police cars at this pancake house. Figured it cannot be too bad. Food was good and plentiful. Six strips of bacon on an order. Service a bit spotty and no ambiance. But hey, it's a pancake house.

food is tasty and value is good. But the cashier old woman (probably owner) is very slow. She has to hire someone younger. Garcons are generally students but they act too professional for being amateurs.

I have eaten here on many occasions and the food is the normal, slightly over priced, tourist breakfast eatery. They do have excellent wait staff and have never had to send good back or complain. You shouldn't be disappointed with stop here for a filling breakfast.

If you like to be ignored for 15 minutes, I recommend this place....You will feel invisible as the wait staff and management act like you do not exist. After you inform them of your displeasure you will be told how Good your service was and charged 5 dollars for the two cups of coffee you did not drink.

Food was over-salted, lukewarm and likely straight out of the can (and into the microwave). Decent prices, but considering nothing was fresh and we were overcharged for one of our orders, not really worth it. Pancakes were flat and bland and tea was awful for 1.79. On the other hand, biscuits were decent, and the eggs seemed fresh. Service was...

Terrific restaurant! We arrived at 11am and were seated immediately. The waiter was very pleasant and checked on us frequently. I got the veggie omelet with home fried potatoes and a side of bacon. My fiancé got the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich that also came with home fried potatoes. Both meals …

This has become out favorite place to eat. The food and portion sizes are only beat by the price you'll pay. This is a homegrown locally owned establishment with a southern hospitality flare. Heck, while you are there, you may be put on Facebook so others will see the fun you're having. Great place and service. Thanks Corey Bartlett

We went to this restaurant because it is very close to the hotel that we were staying at in Williamsburg. We had a coupon for 10 percent off the bill. I ordered pancakes and my husband ordered a cheese omelet. Both tasted good and were served very quickly. I agree with other reviewers that Cracker Barrel is better, but the...

Very Disappointing

Average Rating

Passed up Cracker Barrel and Ihop for the local flavor of a neighborhood pancake house-but flavor is everything it lacked. The pancakes were thin and rubbery-big disappointment for a self proclaimed pancake house- and the biscuits looked store bought, which would even have been ok except they were dark and wrinkled on top like they'd been reheated in a microwave....

It is good, but not unusual, there are lots of pancake houses n Williamsburg.
I would suggest trying them all and if you find one you like best stick with it.
They are especially busy on weekends so you might have to wait as we did at this one. But that is ok.

We have lived in the area for many years and have tried all the breakfast spots. The National Pancake House (aka Coreys) is our favorite. It is clean, fast and friendly service. Bridget and Jennifer are super! Prices are reasonable and they offer Senior menu items at Breakfast. They also have the BEST PANCAKES IN TOWN!

Yes, we went to NPH because 2 out of 3 of us wanted pancakes. Yes, the pancakes were great. But I gotta tell you about the omelet and home fries I had.

Went there for breakfast. I as well as two friends all got omeletes. For $6.99 omelete wasn't bad size, plus hash browns (way underdone for me, friends liked them, they were just like warm seasoned potato slices to me), and toast. It was not busy as it was an off hour, server was not very polite at all. Friend waited...

I will just talk about the pancakes, being that this is a "pancake house." The pancakes were horrible, almost as thin as a 3 sheets of paper. Taste was same, yes tasted like paper with chocolate chips sprinkled on top. Dont come here!

Ate here on the way home after a week at Governor's Green. Didn't want a big breakfast at the resort before checkout but needed something hearty for the road. National served the purpose. Everything was fine but a couple notes. Be sure to ask for separate cheques when you order, waitress can't split them once she rings it up (?)....

We went by today for a late breakfast(Sunday). The place was pretty full with visitors from PA, NY, NJ, MA, NC, CT etc. Some locals too.
We both had the eggs, hashbrowns, sausage and rye toast. Eggs were to be over medium. It came out within minutes. That should have been our first sign.
EVERYTHING was greasy and EVERYTHING was...

This is a popular place on weekends with a typical menu. Several of us ordered different kinds of pancakes-banana, chocolate chip, and blueberry. They were all delicious!

We eat here all the time, mostly for breakfast, but also for lunch. I am a picky eater (no bread, burnt bacon, smaller portions, etc.) and they accomodate me. Try them for lunch, the prices are very reasonable. They have sandwiches, salads, baskets, and specials every day. The staff is friendly and proficient. We always find the restaurant clean.
