Also not being able to get a Hurts Donut Cup because the fountain machine was OOS, but needless to say, I still managed to grab a few yummy donuts, which still hit the spot.“

SIDES - 2.5
The pancakes come with one side, of which I tried the ham and bacon. The ham was good, but the bacon was too crispy for me, which I realize is not a universal opinion, but nevertheless the right one.

Syrup and butter - 4
The syrup comes in a ceramic pouring cup, perfect for dipping or pouring. It had a good, classic syrup taste. There was also enough butter, but it was still wrapped, which made spreading slightly inconvenient since I didn't want to look like a fool.

Taste - 5
The first thing that hits you is a strong aroma that demands your attention to the flap of jacks on the plate. From the first bite, I couldn't stop. The top of class fluffiness, the melty feeling as I swallowed, and the ease by which I could pull off another piece absolutely PREVENTED me from speaking to anyone at the table. All I could think about was how to efficiently deliver one more bite to my mouth.

Atmosphere - 4
The restaurant, to my uninformed surprise, was quite formal. If I were to go back, I'd definitely want to be a little groomed and nicer dressed if only a little. The seating was comfortable and I never had to shuffle things around to fit the dishes on the table. The atmosphere was pretty calm, with soft outdoor lighting and a few conversations from other groups being all you could hear. Despite my dressing like a dead possum, service was always nice and responsive to questions.“
