This old-school diner has been serving fluffy flapjacks for 60 years

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Not much has changed at Chace's Pancake Corral in Bellevue since it opened its doors in 1958 – and that's just the way they like it.

Jane Zakskorn took over the family-run restaurant from her dad, restaurant namesake Bill Chace. She decided if it's not broken, don't fix it.

"I really respected the way my dad started this operation," said Zakskorn. "And in his memory, I just don't change anything."

And she means it. The newest item on the menu is the hashbrown omelet, which was added 30 years ago! You'll find it next to other classic diner fare like bacon, eggs and of course pancakes – lots of pancakes. The corral of pancakes at Chace's include flapjacks topped with blueberries and bananas along with blitzes, crepes, and the popular potato pancake.

The western-themed decor has also remained unchanged. It's this familiarity that's kept customers coming back for 60 years. The restaurant is continually packed. So if you decided to stop by, be prepared to wait. But locals agree that it's worth it.
