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.
