I love pancake combos but if you’re going to call something a sandwich just make it a fucking sandwich.
The Halfway House Cafe in Santa Clarita, CA has been used in a number of films and TV showsย including The Twilight Zone, Space Cowboys, Gilmore Girls, and Monk. It’s a cute cafe with an adorably rustic exterior. Most importantly, they serve pancakes.
You can get regular pancakes or blueberry pancakes in a stack of two or four. I went with the Pancake Sandwich, which is sadly not an actual pancake sandwich, but rather two large pancakes with eggs and bacon.

I have been on the prowl for delicious melt-in-your-mouth blueberry pancakes for what seems like years now. Spoiler alert: I didn’t find them here. The blueberries were good, and obviously fresh. The pancake was cooked evenly, which is tricky when using robust berries of any kind. The pancakes themselves were average, and a little too chewy on their own. I lathered butter and syrup on them which made them pretty tasty. It’s hard not to love something with enough butter and syrup. The star of this dish was the bacon, if you like crispy bacon that explodes with flavor.
I would recommend stopping here if you’re in the area but wouldn’t necessarily make a special trip out here for the food.

Mouthfeel: A little too chewy and bland without the help of butter and syrup.
Size: Large and hearty.
Presentation: Two blueberry pancakes are the star of the plate, with eggs & bacon. Not a sandwich.
