Richard Walker’s Pancake House recently opened their 3rd San Diego County location (5th in the country) in the brand new Bressi Ranch Square in Carlsbad. Since 1948, the Walker family name has become synonymous with quality family dining. The family has since per- fected its reputation for outstanding gourmet pancakes and breakfasts. Their story begins when Apple pancake Victor and Everett Walker began opening snack shops in Evanston, IL. In 1960, they opened Walker Bros. Original Pancake House in Wilmette, IL. In 1981, Ray Walker and Richard Walker Sr., sons of Victor, opened Walker Bros. Origi- nal Pancake House in Glen- view, IL. In 1989, Richard Walker Sr. ventured out on his own and opened Richard Walker’s Pancake House in Schaumburg, IL. In 1996, Richard Sr. opened a second location in Crystal Lake, IL.
