The order is the apple pancake, the dish the whole chain is built on — a big, oven-baked pancake loaded with apples and finished with a sticky cinnamon glaze, sized to cover the plate. USA Today put Walker Bros. among the country's ten best pancake restaurants, and Zagat once called it Chicago's best breakfast, 'bar none.' The German pancake (served with lemon and powdered sugar) and the potato pancakes have their own following here, and the corned beef hash is the savory move if someone at the table isn't in a sweet mood. Like every Walker Bros., it's breakfast and brunch only — 7am to 2:30pm daily — and there are no reservations, so a weekend wait is simply part of the ritual.
Carryout is available, but the restaurant doesn't use third-party delivery apps, so pick up the phone or go in. There's no special or discount; the apple pancake is the reason to go.
