Pig'n Pancake, Lincoln City

It all began in May 1961, when Bob and Marianne Poole opened the Pig 'N Pancake restaurant in Seaside with $100 and $2000 worth of borrowed equipment. There was seating for 35 and the restaurant closed each day at 2 p.m. The Seaside Pig ac2N Pancake building has been expanded and remodeled a number of times and in 1987 the restaurant closed for 32 days while the building was gutted and rebuilt. In 1988 the neighboring building to the east was purchased and incorporated, resulting in the present layout featuring seating for 240 and a large gift shop. In all, the expansions and remodeling have incorporated one tavern to the west and two taverns to the east of the original premises.
