Best Pancakes in Salt Lake City

“Ah, well, sir, I feel like a, like a slice of butter… melting on top of a big-ol’ pile of flapjacks… yeah.”

-Private Miller, Pineapple Express (2008)

STACKS ON STACKS ON STACKS. Pancakes, hotcakes, flapjacks, whatever. Stack it up tall with butter and syrup and we are on board. From breakfast diners to the fanciest weekend brunch spots, a good pancake should be on every menu. Making the best pancakes in Salt Lake City is an art form. With such a simple recipe, you have to do everything perfect to be considered the best. There are a lot of average pancakes out there. Serviceable pancakes. Pancakes that you can get by on, but don’t feel worth it at the end. But we aren’t about that. We aren’t kids anymore. We can’t be eating buttery, syrupy goodness every week. So when we go all out for a sweet and sugary brunch, we gotta have the best. Here are our picks for the Best Pancakes in Salt Lake City.
