I used to like IHOP's Country Pancakes, which were the ones that had Cream
of Wheat in the batter. I don't particularly care for any of their other
offerings.

I love the pancakes (particularly the blueberry pancakes) at Cracker
Barrel. They also serve their pancakes with *real* butter and *real*
Vermont maple syrup, or pure fruit blueberry syrup. Their thick cut bacon
and fried country ham isn't bad either.
