Our first visit and worth a second try. Pancakes were excellent, coffee worth a third cup, and service that fit us in.

what better than pancakes at the Circus. Always the same never changes, not great but not bad. Fills the craving when you have it.

I have been coming here for years and have never been able to finish the pancakes as they are huge. The eggs are okay but go there for the pancakes and you will keep coming back. I see some of the kings basketball players there sometimes too.

This is the best restaurant ever. of all time, ever. the waitresses have been working there since its opening it seems like, and they are my heroes. The food is great, and the decor....you have to see to believe.

Try getting hefty portions of Steak and eggs, with 4 huge perfectly made pancakes, and free-refill hot chocolate with the whip cream piled on for around 8 bucks anywhere else! You must make the Pancake Circus a weekly stop if you live within an hour of downtown Sacramento. River City residents be advised: the Pancake Circus is the in place to be, and if you haven't paid it a visit yet, you are just not with the times.

There was a fuzzy greezzzy film on most surfaces and a slightly disturbing crazy clown theam to the decor. Food was 1960's truck stop fare. My meal was dry due to the extended amount of time it spent under the large red ultra violet warming lamps. My waitress was missing most of the time and the coffee tasted about 4 days old.

The Circus has gone downhill quite a bit since the old owner "Bill" sold it. Pancakes aren't the same anymore and now the hours are only 6AM to 3PM and quality is declining.

Has anyone else experienced this tragedy of a once great breakfast joint?

The breakfast standard. Anyone who knows breakfast in Sacramento will tell you that Pancake Circus is serious breakfast. The waitresses are attentive and know how to get you in and out! Awesome!!!

All the times I've been there, there's never been a wait for the counter. Sac PD and UPS drivers eat there so the food has got to be good, and it is. Get the 4 hotcakes and they give you 2 huge scoops of real butter and all the syrup you could want. I don't how they make perfect cakes but they do. Just go there and try them-you won't find any better. Food is always HOT and service is fast and pleasant. I've been a frequent customer for years and if I lived closer I'd weigh 20 pounds more than I do now. They have funny hours though, 6am to 1015pm(not 10pm or 1030pm, but 1015pm!!) and that includes holidays. Says so right on the front door. Now, go eat!

This place is awesome. Your coffee cup is always full, you get food in a matter of minutes after you order it. The food is always cooked exactly how you want it, the only downside is that there may be a bit of a wait to get seated.
