Polly's Pancake Parlor celebrates 73rd season with opening April 30

SUGAR HILL — Polly's Pancake Parlor will open its 73rd season at 7 a.m. on Saturday, April 30.

The New Hampshire landmark was started in 1938 by “Sugar Bill” and Polly Dexter as a way to highlight their pure maple sugar products made here at Hildex farm. Polly's is still owned and operated by Polly and Bill's family. Owners Kathie Aldrich Cote (granddaughter) and Dennis Cote — who grew up in Laconia — run the business along with Kathie's parents, Nancy Dexter Aldrich and Roger Aldrich.

The pure maple products are still the unique highlight for the Polly's dining experience. Every diner is treated to a tray filled with unlimited 100% pure maple syrup, Polly's house made pure granulated maple sugar, and Polly's house made pure maple spread, still made by Roger Aldrich.

Polly's pancakes and waffles are made from original recipes and organically grown grains stone-ground on sight. Another unique offering at Polly's is the popular pancake sampler, which allows the customer to choose three batters and three add-ins.

Customers with special dietary needs will also find offerings on the menu such as rice-cornmeal pancakes that contain no gluten, as well as dairy-free batters made to order upon request.

Polly's will be adding a few new items to the menu this upcoming season. One such item was created by Polly's great-grandson, Chris Cote. The Polly's Panwich will be a spin on the McMuffin, only served between two pancakes.

“We look forward to spring’s arrival and welcoming our customers back for our 73rd year,” said Cote. As an added incentive to try Polly's, a 10 percent Early Bird discount will be offered every day on all orders placed before 8 a.m.

Polly’s will be open Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1 from 7 a.m. — 3 p.m. Starting Saturday May 7, Polly’s will be open Monday — Friday from 7 a.m. — 2 p.m. and Saturday — Sunday from 7 a.m. — 3 p.m.
