HSK Restaurant Review--Butterfingers Pancakes

Fiending for some American breakfast? Miss your mom's homemade buttermilk pancakes, sausage links and hashbrowns? Tired of kimchi and rice with soup for breakfast? You have options!!! There's more and more breakfast spots popping up in Seoul that offer an American dining experience. One partciularly well-known morning meal spot is called Butterfingers Pancakes.Butterfingers has 2 locations in Seoul. One near Apgujeong and the other near Gangnam stations. They boast a diner-style menu ranging from breakfast platters to stews/soups and salads. I personally find the prices too high for the quality of food, but hey, it's a commodity and commodities can sometimes come at a price. Despite the somewhat expensive prices, it's still a good place to go get your grub on. Some things to try : pecan and cinnamon pancakes, apple compote. Some things not to try : beef stew, macaroni and cheese.Beef stew--delicious exterior, not so delicious when it's in the interior. The beef was a bit dry and chewy and the stew's broth was lacking in saltiness.
Mac and cheese was a bit bland and the macaroni elbows were very overcooked, which resulted in a mushy consistency.
In any case, here's some pictures of one of several dining experiences at Butterfingers Pancakes, Gangnam branch.Nice interior--clean, bright, open, simple.
A vast menu with lots of options. A front AND a back!!!
Blueberry pancakes with apple compote. YUM!
A breakfast platter with the works for only about 11,000 KRW.
