Four of us went to Slappy Cakes on a recommendation from a good friend. He told us the chicken fried steak was the best around. Three of us ordered the chicken fried steak and we were all greatly disappointed. I will say the gravy was delicious, the potatoes cooked perfect as were my scrambled eggs. The chicken fried steak was chewy and not pounded out very well. The breading didn't even adhere to the steak. if you go order something else.

My friends and I took my kiddo here for our 1st time after soccer. It was a fun place with built in griddles to the table and squeeze bottle batter to make our pancakes. We got a little creative with the designs and my son loved it. We also ordered the hash and chicken fried steak , both were delicious.
The staff was super friendly and attentive.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Feb 13, 2024
Super busy location especially on weekends and they don't take reservations, which can be a challenge. That being said we were still seated within 30-40minutes, which is definitely not the longest I've had to wait for a Sunday Brunch.
Definitely a fun and unique spot for Brunch. The idea of being able to make your own pancakes is a fun and interactive idea that translates super well. We had their seasonal flavor (Red Velvet Cherry) which was good, but I couldn't really taste cherry. Toppings are a little spendy, but they do come in a good serving size (we just didn't end up using all of them which felt like a waste).
Besides the pancakes, the food is still amazing. We both had a country fried steak which was phenomenal. Potatoes were crunchy but soft on the inside. Cubed steak was a little chewy at times but the batter was amazingly flaky! And scramble was nice and fluffy!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 2731841Jan 28, 2024
DIY Pancakes! What more could you ask for?!
I absolutely love this place! You can choose your flavor of pancake batter and you have plenty of options for fixings/toppings! There's also plenty of other food options as well if you're not a fan of pancakes. I highly recommend the avocado toast or the avocado pesto benedict. It can be a bit loud when crowded but honestly it didn't bother me.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 5, 2024
You come here for the kids. And our kids loved it! They got the chocolate batter with sprinkles and had fun making and eating them. I thought they tasted good too! I also bought them each a hot chocolate as I had promised. One kid had a bite of his whip cream. The other ate the whip cream. Neither had the drink! $9 for whip cream was a lot ... my fault though! Candied bacon was ok. I'd skip it and get the Praline Bacon from Screen Door any day. I asked the server what the difference was between the loaded potatoes and the Slappy hash was. In a not so friendly tone she responded "the ingredients." When I asked "Are they both diced potatoes, both shredded potatoes ...?" She then explained the difference. Not the most stellar response I've heard from a server but back to the beginning of this review ... the kids enjoyed themselves!

At first when I looked at the menu of this place I thought, wow this is going to be a pricey meal. I was surprised at the big portions we received. Not only did the one bottle or pancake batter last us around 6 pancakes worth, it was also a blast to make different designs. Toppings are very pricey so I would honestly skip them but the quality of the pancake batter is actually pretty great.
Loved the ambiance of the place as well. Decor felt very diner-chic. Definitely a happening place so prepare for a bit of a wait but I'd probably come again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Iris Karina R.Cedar Mill, Portland, OR22526Mar 28, 2024
Buttermilk batter was good service was good too we got there at 9 and as we were leaving at 10 it started to get really packed the entrance is super small. Small portions for the price not worth it.

Casual breakfast spot with a fun twist! Super fun breakfast spot! The DIY pancakes are a fun addition to the breakfast experience. We went on a Tuesday morning around 10am and we were seated immediately. The service was great and they went over their menu with us and how the DIY pancakes work since it was our first time. We got the hot chocolate, buttermilk and chocolate DIY batters with some sides. We also got their bacon and sausages. The sausages were so good!

Came with a friend on Friday morning. It was already so packed with families but we were able to get a table.
We got the buttermilk and the peanut butter batters. After starting conservatively, we later started channeling our artistic selves to create pancake art pieces. Lots and lots of fun! I also got a side of scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage, which ended up being more than enough food between the two of us. SO many pancakes were made.
Highly recommend this place for families or even for a fun date. Loads of fun!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 15616Nov 6, 2023
A lot of fun for the family. It's like IHOP with a built-in table griddle. You can make your own batter creations, using their bottles of batter. Two bottles supplied enough for our three kids.
