Chace's Pancake Corral1606 Bellevue Way SE
Bellevue, WA 98004
Who would have thunk that less than two miles away from the super chic Bellevue Square Mall would lie a shack that served pancakes and your other breakfast staples.
I loved the name of the restaurant, but does it states its claim? Here's what Merriam-Webster says about a corral: 1. a pen or enclosure for confining or capturing livestock and 2. an enclosure made with wagons for defense of an encampment.
I guess Chace's is a little bit of both if you substitute the livestock and wagons for pancakes. Chace's did offer quite a confinement of pancakes. The simple and straight forward menu offered about a dozen different kinds of pancakes ranging from buttermilk to buckwheat. And what else goes better with pancakes than a vat of "pancake sauce" kept warm in a hot beverage container? Nothing! (the pancake sauce contraption was the first thing I noticed when I walked in...)
But even with all those pancakes, of course I went straight for the French toast. The bread looked like Texas toast, but tasted so fancy. Thick, light and fluffy. Yummers! Chace's served their Frenchie with a wild berry syrup. I couldn't tell if it was real or artificial, but it tasted good. The second coolest thing about this place was their butter. They serve it out of a piping tip! It was the prettiest butter that has ever been served to me.
Next time I make it out to Bellevue in the morning, I would definitely remember Chace's Pancake Corral.
