Pancakes are a classic breakfast and brunch staple for a reason. Easily customizable and hard to mess up as even the less-the-stellar options can be greatly improved with a generous dollop of syrup. Whether you prefer your flapjacks griddled on a greasy diner cooktop or beautifully curated and served with a tart compote at an artisanal shop, you're in luck because there's plenty of establishments around the state dishing out delicious stacks of pancakes.
According to a list compiled by Taste of Home, the "best pancakes" in all of Wisconsin can be found at Mad Rooster Cafe. This popular Milwaukee eatery serves a selection of tasty flapjacks, from lemon blueberry ricotta and buttermilk to wildberry crunch and three pigs in a blanket (sausages rolled in pancakes). Mad Rooster Cafe, located at 4401 W. Greenfield Avenue, has a 4.6 star rating on Google and nearly 4,500 reviews.
Here's what the site had to say about the fluffy stack served at this Badger State favorite:
"The farm and country atmosphere makes Mad Rooster Cafe warm and inviting, and their thick hotcakes are sure to fill you up. Order something with an extra munch: the Wildberry Crunch is cooked with fresh granola, covered in seasonal berries and then drizzled with cream cheese."
