The Pinewood location would be the second metro area Pancake Social, which is set to open its doors soon at Ponce City Market.
Backing the restaurant is culinary heavy hitters such as chef Anne Quatrano (Bacchanalia and Star Provisions), who has won a James Beard Award. Also involved are Tony Riffel, co-founder of Octane Coffee Company and Elevator Factory, former Chick-Fil-A executive Dan Jacobson, who owns Steel Wave Ventures and Steven Chan, founder of Tin Drum Asian Kitchen.
