I definitely loved it. Nice atmosphere, yummy pancakes, Crepes and a bunch of other stuff. Really a perfect spot to hang out with friends and go for a relaxing stroll along the most stunning harbor in the world, by day or night! More

Enjoyed the Darling Harbour location restaurant w/our college kids and friend. We ate ourselves silly. The crepes w/strawberry were heavenly. The savory plates were excellent as well. Great location in the mall on the harbour. No wait even on a Sunday morning. I understand that there is often a wait at The Rocks location. More

Very filling servings and the menu makes the young ones gasp - this is a great spot to take hungry young ones and satisfy all their hunger - they all come away contented and happy to have been there. Staff very tolerant of enthusiastic young ones. More

I've been to Pancakes on the Rocks in The Rocks, Darling Harbour, Northmead and North Strathfield. All branches serve the same excellent pancakes and I still find them good value. Great for an informal group dinner. Don't forget coins for the jukebox. More

This is one great place. It's open 24 hours and the food is very generous. Very tasty and filling after a long night out drinking. Cheap and cheerful. More

We decided to try this place out for lunch while we were at The Rocks. My husband had the pork ribs, which turned out to be quite dry and not very tasty. I had the Farmers Brunch crepes, which also turned out on the dry and bland side. We didn't have to wait long for a table (maybe because it... More

The rest of our party and Claire insisted on going here. I thought it was a unique place given it is actually in the rocks. Turns out it's a chain. The food was stodgy and mediocre. The staff seemed over-bearing asking us several times if we were ready to order. Then once it got busy they were nowhere to be... More

The food here is good, pancakes are tasty and a few of their other savoury items are nice also, but the long waits can be a nightmare. Great novelty place to go, but if you are just after awesome pancakes or a nice dinner there are heaps of places which are better for both. More
