For this, Richard Walker's Pancake House has chosen the Rabbit to indicate our warmest gesture of "Welcome Home." We hope that any time you see the Richard Walker's Rabbit you find the symbol as comforting as we do. Richard Walker's starts with the finest blend of whole Prime Roasted Coffee beans sourced from Central America with all its sealed-in flavor intact. Then, we ground just enough for each pot of coffee - one pot at a time. That rich, full-bodied flavor and aroma is retained in the freshly ground coffee itself. From there, it's only a matter of a minute from the whole bean to a cup of the best coffee you have ever tasted.

History

Established in 1948.

My personal family started in owning restaurants since 1948.The gourmet breakfast concept began in Wilmette Ill. in 1960. The recipes are in large part the making of a Swedish Ocean Liner Chef. He would take our family out to dinner when I was growing up twice a year. I open my first business with my brother 1981 in Glenview Ill. We called it Walker Bros. Pancake House. I sold out to my brother in 1989 and have since opened 3 of my own stores. I now live and manage my store in San Diego California since 2006.
