Pancakes On The Rocks
Pancakes On The Rocks opened on Hickson Road, at The Rocks in Sydney on 17th
August, 1975.
The idea behind Pancakes On The Rocks goes back to the late 1950’s when some
intrepid Australians went on a road trip across America. They noticed the popularity
of pancakes on the menus in American restaurants and wanted to bring that love of
pancakes to Australia. They opened their first restaurant in Adelaide in 1965 and then
opened around Victoria. The original founders separated with one moving to Sydney
and opening Pancakes On The Rocks. As a company we continued to pursue our vision
of creating casual dining family restaurants that featured pancakes and had something
for everyone on the menu.
In 1994, Pancakes on The Rocks embarked on a rebirth by adding to the menu, pizzas,
a new range of salads, crepes, pancakes and now famous beef and pork ribs. The
new look menu proved very popular for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. To meet
the increasing demand for Pancakes On The Rocks they opened another restaurant at
Northmead in 2006, serving the same the popular dishes found at the original restaurant.
They then opened sites across Sydney at Darling Harbour, Campbelltown, North
Strathfield, Beverly Hills and also on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
