CHRIS CAKES

Pancakes With an Attitude!

Pancakes the Chris Cakes Way

Chris Cakes is world famous for our wonderful pancakes, but did you know that we also offer additional menu items?

Burgers, brats, hot dogs, and chicken are all coming straight off the grill.

The Pancakes

At Chris Cakes Kansas City, we love to serve breakfast. In fact, we are flippin’ crazy about it! Depending on your menu, we’ll arrive with a custom grill generally 1.5 hours ahead of serve time. We will set up and flip a ridiculous amount of hot, fluffy Chris Cakes Pancakes right onto the plates of your hungry guests or employees.

All You Can Eat Cakes!

It’s all-you-can-eat pancakes and many have taken this as a personal challenge to break the record of 72 pancakes in one sitting! If pancakes aren’t your thing, we can provide the best biscuits and gravy or even the best French Toast you’ve ever tasted. You’ve not had French Toast until you’ve had Chris Cakes French Toast!

But Not Just Pancakes...

Just let us know what flops your socks and we’ll send one of our flippers out to make it up hot and fresh right onsite!

Check out our menu and see all the selection you can schedule today. Don’t forget, you can certainly serve breakfast for lunch or even dinner! We serve all of our meals 24 hours a day 7 days a week!

About Us

The Chris Cakes story began in Pocahontas, Iowa in the late 1960's by Lorin Christianson. Using our custom recipe pancake mix with the finest ingredients, Chris Cakes flipped the pancake world on it's head. In the early 1980's, Steve Hamilton purchased a franchise and brought this pancake gem to Louisburg, KS. Over the course of the next 20 years, Steve made Chris Cakes into what you know it as today. A decade later, Steve purchased the company from Lorin and the World Headquarters is now in Kansas. Millions, literally millions of pancakes later, Steve retired with two Guinness World Records under his belt and added six franchises around the United States.

Following Steve's retirement his daughter, Amanda Shore, became the owner and operator of the Kansas City Chris Cakes. His daughter Crystal now owns and operates Chris Cakes Franchise Systems and hopes to continue expansion in the years to come.

We cater any event including fund raisers, open houses, benefits, grand openings...the list is endless! We are now nationwide and have the ability to feed groups from 350 to 50,000. Your volunteers assist with the setup, serving, and cleanup while we prepare all the pancakes you can eat!

How to Book an Event

Planning your event can be a big task. Chris Cakes is here to help! Here's how it works.

Book Your Event

Call Chris Cakes or fill out our ONLINE FORM to get started. We will contact you regarding the specifics and after answering a few questions your event is booked. (Takes less than 5 minutes to set up.)

Events can be scheduled up to a year in advance and we recommend at least 30 days prior. Spots fill quickly so don't wait!

REQUEST YOUR EVENT QUOTE

Once Booked

We send an email confirming your event, if you don’t click the button don’t panic we will call and verbally confirm if we see you missed the email. We have information gathered over thousands of events that we can provide to help make your event a success!

1 Day Out

The day before your event you will receive a confirmation call from the actual flipper dedicated to the awesomeness of your super great and incredible event. Because we work a lot of mornings this call usually takes place after lunch.

The Big Day (Pre-Show)

We show up before the event to set up (typically 90 minutes before). The grill is sizzling, the lights are shining, it's time to party in 3...2...1...

Time To Rock!

We serve food. Fast. You sit back, relax and watch the pancakes fly!

Closing Time

After the event ends, our truck is loaded, and the cleaning is done, the server will scribble up an invoice then decide whether to collect payment in currency or small farm animals (we are a sucker for bunnies) and then we head back to the shop.

Invoices can be paid online or over the phone with any major credit card. Checks can be mailed to the address listed on your invoice.
