THAT’S IT! Thanks. I guess the name is just too simple. Checking the wiki page for it, I see that what killed it was changing the glaze from maple to honey. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > I suspect that buckwheat pancakes have generally fallen out of favor in the U.S., to the point where, as the OP suggests, they can be difficult to find, even at breakfast restaurants To steer the conversation back to restaurants for a moment, the local IHOP restaraunts had buckwheat pancakes at least up until last summer. Which is the last time I ate at one and in fact had said buckwheat pancakes. They must have been passable if not very memorable. ---

I never was a fan of buckwheat cakes, but they had something called Harvest Grain and Nut cakes. To my palate, they were amazing. I’ve made acceptable replicas at home, using all varieties of oatmeal/grains/seeds/nuts. Yum! ---

Haven’t been to IHOP in a while, the local restaurants in that chain sorta suck imho so I don’t go often. Harvest Grain eh? Well ok then. Maybe I’ll find myself eating there sometime before they change the menu again and give those a try [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-chain-restaurant-used-to-have-buckwheat-pancakes-on-menu/922129.md?page=1)
