The Original Pancake Kitchen

The Original Pancake Kitchen (often referred to as PK's) is a restaurant franchise in Adelaide, South Australia, known for serving American-style pancakes and breakfast dishes, established in 1965 on Gilbert Place in the Adelaide city centre.[1]

History

The restaurant opened in 1965 under the name The Pancake Kitchen, which served throughout the day and night.[1]

In December 2022, it was reported that two of the five Original Pancake Kitchen locations – in Reynella and Port Adelaide – had closed following a serious kitchen fire at the Reynella site and broader economic pressures. The closures were managed by Oracle Insolvency Services, while the Gilbert Place, Marion, and Modbury outlets remained open.[2]

Expansion

In mid-2025, Glam Adelaide announced that a new Original Pancake Kitchen venue would open in the north-eastern suburb of Golden Grove in late August.[3]

In early 2025, The Advertiser reported that journalist Mitchell Sariovski and his partner Lauren Bent had purchased the Gilbert Place venue, announcing plans for renovations and a refreshed menu while retaining the restaurant's heritage and signature dishes.[4]
