Happy Jack Pancake House
Happy Jack Pancake House is a family-owned and operated restaurant. Bob Torry purchased the business in 1983 because he loved breakfast and he loved Ocean City. A true family business, all of his children have worked at the restaurant over the years, and his daughter, Megan, is now a partner in the business.
You can get eggs, omelets, breakfast sandwiches, and all the breakfast classics, but you have to try what Happy Jack’s does best: their ultimate pancakes! The Elvis pancakes consist of peanut butter chip pancakes topped with sliced banana, peanut butter drizzle, and bacon. The cookies and cream pancakes are filled with Oreo chunks and topped with vanilla cream, chocolate drizzle, and more Oreos. Perhaps you would prefer the cookie dough pancakes, which consist of chocolate chip pancakes topped with edible chocolate chunk cookie dough and chocolate drizzle. Whatever you choose, it will be delicious!
