Uncle Bill's Pancake House

Uncle Bill's Pancake House A Manhattan Beach staple for over 50 years. Breakfast and lunch served all day.

Our building was constructed in 1908 as a home, and was used as a flower shop, real estate office, and for other purposes before Uncle Bill McElroy opened Uncle Bill's in 1961. Or rather, half of it was Uncle Bill's - the south end was a barbershop until 1999. Paul Allen VanAmburgh bought the restaurant in 1973, remodeled the place a bit, and added a few tables. In 2000 the restaurant expanded aga

in into the space vacated by the barbershop, and we opened the outdoor patio. The restaurant remains in the Van Amburgh family, who are happy to welcome you for breakfast and lunch every day.

It's been a long road... 15 months ago when the Health Order began we lost a big part of the character of what makes Uncle Bill's such a special place- the Counter.

We are very excited to announce that tomorrow, along with 100% indoor capacity, the Counter will once again be available for dinning. Can't wait to see all of you on those ol' bar stools.

Notice!

Mother's Day is around the corner, and we've already had several customers make advance orders via our website (planning ahead!) - however after careful consideration we've decided that because of the extra volume we will not be able to take any to-go orders (via online, phone or walk-up) for that day only.

Our sincerest apologies if that messes up your plans, it was a difficult decision since we want to feed everyone (and their mommas!), but don't let that stop you from coming and dining with us in person!

Looking forward to seeing you all at the beach!
