We were traveling home from Christmas vacation in Punta Gorda, Florida to Whitney Point, New York and wanted a great breakfast after checking out of our hotel. We used Google Maps to locate some great local and non-chain places to eat breakfast. We decided on Pancakes & Waffles which was less than 15 miles away on our travel on Interstate I-95 North. Pancakes & Waffles is a simple, casual, and cozy eatery with great breakfast and beverages. They have a simple menu that has something for everyone. You can have a delicious and fabulous meal coupled with warm, friendly, and attentive customer service. The establishment is definitely a popular place with the locals and it is definitely a refreshing change from the chains! It can get very busy in there and so arrive early and you won't be disappointed!
Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by Claudia G.was our host. She was very friendly, pleasant, professional, and had a genuine smile. It was a Sunday, 12/28/2025 around 11::50 AM and we were immediately seated, provided with menus and our beverage order taken. Claudia G. was also our server and we asked her for her personal recommendations and favorites. She directed us to the crepes and pancakes items. For breakfast, we had the two House Breakfast Specials. My wife ordered
Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Home Fries, Nutella Crepes, and coffee. I ordered
Scrambled Eggs Soft, Bacon, Grits, Pancakes, and coffee. Claudia G. immediately brought out fresh coffee with cream and sugar on the side. Everything was absolutely delicious and both meals were prepared, portioned, cooked to perfection, and were served hot. The Nutella Crepes and pancakes were absolutely delicious as well as the grits, eggs, bacon, and Home Fries. Claudia G. was very attentive, friendly, efficient, and happy to help! In short, the delicious food, and friendly customer service made for a great dinning experience. We have a new spot to visit for breakfast when traveling to and from Florida to visit family or whenever we are working in the Hope Mills, North Carolina area. We will definitely be returning to try some of their other breakfast meals and specials.
