Seattle Metropolitan says, "Proof aplenty that Bellevue is not entirely shiny and polished, Chace's is ancient, tiny, crowded, cramped, and loaded with character. The pancakes and other stock breakfast items are just exactly what you would expect, God love 'em." [3]

In addition to pancakes, the American / New American [3] menu has included scrambles and bacon. [4] The Coach's Pick, named after Mercer Island High School boys basketball head coach Ed Pepple, has crepe-style pancakes and an apple glaze. [5] Chace's has served Boyd's Coffee. [6] The restaurant is very popular on weekend mornings. [7]

History

Chace's is Bellevue's oldest restaurant. [8] Named after Bill Chace, the family-operated restaurant was established in 1957 or 1958. [9] [10] Jane Zakskorn is the owner, as of 2019. [11] [4]

Reception

Chace's ranked first in the Best Breakfast category of the Bellevue Reporter's annual 'Best of Bellevue' readers' poll each year from 2009 to 2013.
