FAQ – DEL MAR | FLOWERHILL

What’s the story behind Richard Walker’s Pancake House?

Richard Walker’s Pancake House began in 1989 when Richard Walker Sr. branched out from the Walker Bros. family business and opened his own restaurant in Schaumburg, Illinois. Built on generations of experience from working with some of the country’s most iconic pancake houses, he set out to create something truly personal; and exceptional.

Today, we’ve grown to five locations across Southern California and Illinois, led by Richard Walker Jr., with the same hands-on, family-run approach. Our menu has expanded over the years, but our commitment remains: to serve the finest pancakes and breakfasts using time-honored recipes and the best ingredients we can find.

Do you serve breakfast all day?

Yes, we proudly serve breakfast all day, every day from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM — at all our California locations, including La Jolla, San Diego, Carlsbad, Crystal Lake, and Del Mar. If you’re searching for breakfast open now or brunch near me, Richard Walker’s Pancake House is ready to welcome you with made-from-scratch dishes and unbeatable service as early as 6 am and breakfast burritos served at 2:30 pm.

We’re not just a classic pancake house. Whether it’s early morning or late morning, you can enjoy a plate of fluffy buttermilk pancakes, a golden Belgian waffle topped with fresh berries, or one of our oven-baked omelettes, whipped to order with farm-fresh ingredients. Our full all-day breakfast menu is available every day — yes, even for lunch.

But we don’t stop at breakfast. For those seeking lunch options or a satisfying brunch, our menu features a variety of dishes, including rich Corned Beef Hash and savory avocado toast, as well as our signature Mexican breakfast items. Try our Soy Chorizo con Huevos, Baja Sunshine Burrito, or Huevos Rancheros — bold, flavorful dishes crafted with jalapeño cheese, homemade salsa, and warm frijoles. These brunch favorites are served fresh until we close.

Whether you’re searching for a quick bite or planning a leisurely brunch in San Diego, Richard Walker’s is the perfect place to eat right now.
