We had to try Paula's after reading all the reviews. We had mixed opinions about the "famous" Danish pancakes. My husband and son loved them, but I only thought they were okay. My daughters had the buttermilk pancakes and they liked them. If we were back in Solvang, we would probably try another restaurant just to see how it compares... more

They are really child-friendly. We had 3 pre-schoolers in our party (plus 5 adults) and all of us totally enjoyed the ambience and FOOD (it was brunch for us). We sat on the patio (which was tiny) and it was so nice looking out onto the street at the passers-by and the Danish-themed architecture of the buildings. They also have... more

I wrote a review in April '07, suggesting how poor Paula's had gotten. We were in the area last weekend and decided to try again. Much, Much better. It seems they've dealt with some of the service issues from a couple years ago. The food was also very fresh and tasty, and.....this was a busy day. Contrats Paula's. We WILL... more

Paula's Pancake house is simply amazing. I live about 3 hours away from Solvang and will drive out early just to be able to enjoy breakfast here. The hostess and service is amazing, the workers are efficient and sweet. The wait time to be seated varies depending on when you get to Paula's but whatever the wait may be it... more

Two of us both had the Danish Pancake Combo (w/ eggs and bacon or sausage). We had never had Danish pancakes before and were surprised how light and flavorful they were. Our server was very friendly and prompt. She shared a fun story about her Australian Shepherd mix named Oliver. We'd definitely go back. Get there early on the weekend... more

I have been coming to Solvang for a while, unfortunately this time around was very disappointed that in bringing visiting relatives from the east coast, our day was cut short due to food poisoning after eating at Paula's. We believe it was the uncooked eggs that may have contributed to it. My friend ordered the danish pancakes, eggs over medium,... more

My daughter and I had a girls get away for a few days and we ate at Paula's Pancake House on our last morning in Solvang and wished that we had discovered this place sooner. The food, service and menu selections were amazing. My daughter ordered the Danish pancakes and I ordered the boring 2 egg breakfast (served with hash... more

Seeing so many high ratings on this restaurant we tried it twice. The Danish pancakes set this place apart from other breakfast/lunch places. You cannot get these at Denny's. Other than that, it is typical board of fare and pricing. We had omelets one day and pancakes the next time. One thing to watch out for - the pancake special.... more

Valentines Day 09 and we were... more
