Original House of Pancakes.. I vouch for the Laguna Hills one. Ate there once a week, every week for 41 wks.. lol Every wk after my OB visit we went there.. mmm their apple pancake is enormous, takes up a dinner plate and is about six inches high!! Enough for at least two people.. AT LEAST

When Seafood Broiler left decades ago, I was so bummed. Then I found out the original and only Crab Cooker in Newport had the same owner.. I LIVED for mesquite cooked scallop and shrimp skewers there.. mmm
