Went out to Pannekoeken Huis in Savage, MN right off of CR-42 in the same strip as Spectator’s Bar and Grille.
We had seen this restaurant while eating at Spectator’s and Kim said she wanted to try it. Tonight was the night.
We were two of six people in the place including the waitress and the cook. The service was friendly and fast ;)
I ordered their Rotterdam Pannekoeken which was a traditonal Dutch Pannekoeken (Dutch Pancake) topped with gouda cheese, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and I chose mettwurst for the meat. The dish is topped with fresh tomatoes and hollandaise sauce. The dinner came with a salad which was fresh and crisp.
Kim went with something that sounded a lot more like dessert than dinner… She ordered their Carmel Apple Pannekoeken which comes filled with carmel, apples, and peanuts.
Our orders were delivered shortly after the only other couple in the place left. After thanking the waitress she and the cook disappered leaving Kim and I in a completely empty room. Eerie feeling.
The food was quite good, better than any number of other restaurants we’ve tried that charge more, have shitty service, and yet seem to attract more guests.
Kim actually was sad that someone’s dream was failing before our eyes while plenty of other surbanish restaurants succeed by name recognition alone.
If you are looking for something a bit different and quite affordable you might want to give Pannekoeken Huis a try.

I was excited to see the review of Pannekoeken on your site! I agree about the comment that Kim made. We have four locations now and the Savage one is the least visited. Try us during the day on the weekend as we usually are hoppin’!
