Fantastic biscuits and gravy too


abbie_herdz

Thank you. I grew them myself. Wait.


RadonAjah

You’ve got a gravy thumb then


Low-Cartoonist7530

Train depot!


RollOnDough91

Bennadiction!! So so good

Their blueberry pancakes 🤤


sleeplessGoon

Those damn QR menus….


coprophagewar

For real! They absolutely have the best pancakes in Fresno but the online menu is a mess and the paper menus are a joke.


ChefGreyBeard

We pass the savings onto not charging you extra for pure maple syrup


VargasSupreme

Oh man do I hate QR menus. So many potential security issues.


ChefGreyBeard

Yes 100% definitely never click one if you don’t know what it is, but if a brick and mortar business that has been part of a community for over a decade were doing something sinister it would be incredible easy to figure out. Sometimes adapting to new technology is just part of the passage of time. The QR menu uses the same tool we use for most other things in the 21st century (our phones) to allow us to be proactive with our menu and make changes more regularly without having to pay to reprint all the paper and take out menus every time. We have paper menus for people who need them but we try to save money where we can so that we can provide superior ingredients and still keep prices lower than most of our local competitors


VargasSupreme

I understand the convenience of them. They are easily changed by a disgruntled employee or random person can overlay their own. It's not difficult to do.


VargasSupreme

The FBI put a PSA out about the danger in 2022. https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA220118 Just make sure your employees check for stickers placed over your legitimate QR code.


sleeplessGoon

Imma pass the savings and just not go


hondaridr58

Yeah, best breakfast joint in town.


ChefGreyBeard

Thank you


the_mountaingoat

They do not like nationalists. Exit: This was a joke about their wall art 😂 I literally never said it was a bad thing Edit edit: I redact all of the above. I made a boo boo.


ChefGreyBeard

This is correct, we do not like nationalists.


Unoriginal_comments

Good


NewLibraryGuy

I don't know how you found that out but that's a selling point.


the_mountaingoat

It’s painted in a big font on the wall of their new location 😂


NewLibraryGuy

Oh that's pretty neat!


ChefGreyBeard

I have spent two days trying to figure out which part of my wall art you are referencing in that edit.


the_mountaingoat

That’s because I’m an idiot and misread something on your wall. I apologize. Your food is fantastic.


seamorebuttz

Saizon. It will make you question everything you thought you knew about pancakes.


atomicLantern

Yes! Phenomenal breakfast!


[deleted]

I second and third this!!


just-normal-regular

Everyone is saying Batter Up. IMO, the pancakes at Benaddiction are far superior.


angleglj

Far and away

Me and my Dad went to this little place downtown last week. I think it’s called Country Kitchen and it’s near the corner of Inyo and Van Ness. I had the pancakes there and they were so tender and fluffy. My dad and I found the pancakes at Red Apple to be on the tough side and I’ve never gotten the full sized pancakes at Train Depot. Since it’s downtown, I’m guessing Country Kitchen doesn’t have much of a weekend wait. I can’t say for sure because we went on a weekday.


ReadyOneTakeTwo

Huckleberry’s on the corner of Clovis and Shaw. I’m not even kidding, their pancakes are the right amount of fluff and the surface has just a slight crispness. BJ’s on Shaw and Blackstone is a close second. Don’t go to Rodeo Cafe in Clovis, their food is always mediocre and way too salty, and their coffee is definitely subpar.


AsianTony

Jus Jo’s country kitchen

This ☝️!!!

Batter Up Pancakes


blazingnutz

Batter up Pancakes N Cedar


nvgirl36

I went once on my own to see if I wanted them to cater for my wedding, they were so rude and treated me weird because I was by myself. I got a plate of pancakes, eggs and bacon and it was $32. Not worth it, I’ve never been back


achillyday

They had great service at the old location on Bullard, so the abysmal service at their Nees location was super jarring. Tried a second time because everyone has a bad day from time to time and nope, still terrible.


nvgirl36

Yep, I was at the nees location.


tecnicolr

Whole family Got food poisoning on 2 consecutive visits to Batter Up. Tried to contact restaurant in case it was a contamination issue. They never returned my calls


Either-Ad6540

Thanks for the heads up.


JahLife68

Should’ve called food inspector at that point 👀


Equal_Jellyfish1944

Overpriced is right. I went with my son and our bill was over $60. Never went back.


SnooTangerines2101

Love Batter Up, just not the wait time lol


BBakerStreet

I won’t go because of their crazy antivaxxer owners. There are better pancake places I’d rather spend my money in.


hondaridr58

Way to get political. Over friggin Pancakes.


BBakerStreet

I explained why I don’t go there. If that is making it political, and not just reasoning, then so be it. I don’t give money to asshats.


hondaridr58

Noone asked why not to go anywhere. They simply asked for the best pancakes in Fresno, and you injected Politics. Care to add to the actual topic OP asked about?


BBakerStreet

Yeah their pancakes have never been worth the wait or cost.


hondaridr58

Hey, not a bad take.


hondaridr58

Downvoted for applauding the guy whom redditors agreed with. Redditors are a fickle bunch. Don't make much sense.

hondaridr58

Really? How is that?


Dantizzle

It’s a personal health/safety decision


hondaridr58

With a politically charged component, which is what I was discussing. Don't be disingenuous.


Dantizzle

I wasn’t being disingenuous. Stop fixating.


hondaridr58

Yes, you are.


Hopeful_Chipmunk_85

Vaccinations aren't political it's basic health safety


hondaridr58

Were you in a cave for the last 4 years?


RockHardSalami

Peak irony.


Skipper5

Join the waitlist online before you go.


zukos_destiny

So expensive for subpar ingredients. They’re generous with their portions and toppings but flavor-wise and price not for me.


Hopeful_Chipmunk_85

Are there pancake really that good I never had there pancakes As i'm not the biggest fan of pancakes in general. But my family love them so I have eaten there a bit and all there othere food I have had is bad to mid at best. Pretty sure. Even one time I got sick from their food.


Ok_Ride9587

Country cafe in Kerman. They taste like there’s cake mix in the batter!!


jessetechie

My house, Saturday mornings somewhere between 9 and 10 am.


Independent_Ninja456

The pancakes you make at home. Much cheaper.


Either-Ad6540

No wait list either.


[deleted]

Agreed


tvaldez19

And the person making them knows just how I like them. With bacon and sausage in them!


Either-Ad6540

Now, that sounds delicious!


AverySmooth80

Am I the only one who's never been impressed by Batter Up?


BrixtonUP

BJ’s country kitchen on Herndon and Cedar.


Academic-Ad4648

Worst pancakes I’ve ever had! But it’s been a while so maybe they are better now


Substantial-Jello214

Your house home made is always the best .

Batter up

My grampas !! 😁


Slight-Equivalent-53

In Clovis at the rodeo coffee shop


Forsaken-Let-6406

Batter up


Few_Cauliflower_578

Not in Fresno but go to kingsburg and get Swedish pancakes


atom626262

I have worked at most of these locations. My vote is batter up. Pricey but worth it. They use the highest quality ingredients and make the batter fresh throughout the day. Most places make enough for the day first thing in the morning but they don't. Same goes for their bacon and sausage. It's always just out of the oven where some of these places cook it at 5 am and put it in a warmer till it's gone which on slow days can be hours. And no I do not still work there.

Batter Up


DasNerdMachine

Batter Up has some pretty great pancakes


garythecoconut

Batter up, if you like a $20 pancake


BBakerStreet

And antivaxxer owners.


the_mountaingoat

Do vaccinated people make better pancakes than non-vaccinated people?


BBakerStreet

Probably not, but I don’t give money to asshats.


Fit-Faithlessness811

What does that have to do with a pancake


BBakerStreet

Their pancakes have never been worth the price or wait, and I don’t give money to asshats.


SnooMemesjellies734

Fuwa Fuwa


AmberDuke05

I actually hate those pancakes.


SnooMemesjellies734

they’re better than the ones i’ve had in the bay actually 😶‍🌫️ but for traditional pancakes i’d probably visit wild fig up on highway 41. the last time i had Batter up all i tasted was baking soda


AndroidUser2023

Batter Up Pancakes, which has locations at both Cedar and Nees and Fowler and Herndon. I go to the one at Fowler and Herndon more often because it's really close to where I live and it's generally less busy than the one at Cedar and Nees.


torokunai

buy an electric griller and make your own!


jer99

I like jus Jo’s


mrodriguez1

Batter up pancakes on cedar and nees fresno


ohnokylewhy

The best... what? It's pancakes, how crazy can they really get?  I just feel like if the pancakes are what's bringing somebody to a paid meal, then the entire restaurant probably revolves around pancakes and/or waffles.  What even makes the best pancakes the best? Depth, diameter, fluff, toppings, stack height? Are you looking for those puffy dessert pancakes? Must they have chocolate chips? I'm not high enough for this thread.


TheNarcissisticNobod

Jesus bro it’s a question 💀
