A trip to the White Mountains isn't complete without a stop at Polly's Pancake Parlor, one of the region's best pancake restaurants.
Polly's Pancake Parlor has been a favorite destination to enjoy breakfast since 1938. The restaurant started in a caravan where the founder's served their first folksy pancake.
What began as a strategy to increase the sale of their farm's maple sugar products quickly evolved into a booming restaurant.
Polly's Pancake Parlor, despite its name, offers far more than pancakes. Other favorites on the menu include any kind of eggs, whipped cream–topped waffles, and golden brown French toast.
The restaurant's pure Yankee mentality is the one thing that makes it unique. All of Polly's pancake mixes are made from scratch, and the restaurant even stone-grinds its own flour for its batters, ensuring that your pancakes are as fresh as possible.
Breakfast is clearly the center of Polly's, but if you're here in the afternoon, lunch is also served. And because your waitress prepares your pancakes, there's less danger of misunderstandings, extended wait periods, or rushed breakfasts.
Location: 672 Route 117, Sugar Hill, NH.
