Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take reservations?
We do not take reservations. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. You are always welcome to stop in and we’ll add your name to the wait list. We will do our best to provide an estimated wait time—and plenty of hot coffee to make the wait a little more enjoyable.
Want the best tip in town? Just ask our regulars: arrive before 8:00 a.m. and you'll usually be seated with little or no wait.
While you're waiting, take a stroll through the shops along historic Central Avenue. On weekends, you may even catch musicians and street performers right outside our doors. Enjoy the local vibe!
We'll call your name when your table is ready. We look forward to welcoming you to The Pancake Shop.
Can I place a to-go order?
Yes! We gladly accept to-go orders by phone or in person.
Keep in mind that all orders are prepared in the order they are received. During our busiest hours, there may be a wait, and placing a to-go order does not guarantee faster service. We appreciate your patience and promise it will be worth the wait!
Do you offer gluten-free and vegan and options?
We do! All of our egg dishes are naturally gluten-free, and may be served with gluten-free toast. We also offer a Greek yogurt parfait topped with fresh fruit and gluten-free granola. We are unable to offer gluten-free pancakes at this time.
Our vegan guests can enjoy our oatmeal served with almond milk or a bowl of fresh fruit.
If you have other dietary restrictions or food allergies, please let us know—we're always happy to help you find something you'll enjoy.
Can you accommodate large parties?
Yes! We welcome parties of all sizes. While we always do our best to seat your group together, larger parties may sometimes need to be seated at multiple tables.
We’re also happy to assist with an upcoming celebration! If you know you are coming to Hot Springs and you and your group would like to have breakfast with us, please call ahead with dates and the number in your party: 501-624-5720. We will do our best to accommodate you.
Is The Pancake Shop pet-friendly?
We adore our four-legged friends! However, in accordance with Arkansas law and ADA guidelines, only trained service animals are permitted inside the restaurant.
If you're exploring Hot Springs with your pup and choose to leave them outside while you dine, we're always happy to provide a bowl of fresh water—and perhaps even a treat or two.
