Walker Bros. is a series of pancake houses in the Chicago area.
They developed as a franchised spin-off of The Original Pancake House, founded in Portland, Oregon in 1953 by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke; the Walker Bros. version has been in business for over 45 years. Like the original, they are famous for their apple pancakes, French toast, and omelettes.
The restaurant was recognized by USA Today as one of the "Top Ten Pancake Restaurants in the Nation." Chef and food critic James Beard, named The Original Pancake House as one of the top ten "best" in America. In 1999, the Original Pancake House in Portland was designated by the James Beard Foundation as a regional landmark restaurant.
