I was very pleased with this restaurant when I visited in January. Unfortunately a return visit a couple months later found an entirely different situation. Service was slow and the portions were a fraction of the original. I was served an absolutely flat $9 waffle.Flat! Nothing else on the plate just this sad soggy cracker of a waffle.
The service was bad, waiting on the Food was bad , I wanted to leave because of the wait time, but my party want to wait. I wouldn't recommend it to my dog.
Tasty food in a somewhat run down atmosphere. My wife, son and I went here because we were in town and are familiar with Original Pancake House in Dallas (one of my wife's favorites). We were a little taken aback by the shabby conditions of the restaurant and the fairly amateur wait staff. The food was decent, but not great. I had the sourdough flapjacks which were novel, but not really flapjacks. My wife loves the 49er equivalent, and they were still great. Unfortunately though we ordered the special berries and cream, we only got a fruit bowl. My son loves it, but he'll eat anything with sugar.
Nice place to have a traditional breakfast. They have LOTS of different kinds of pancakes to choose from. I'm not a huge pancake fan, but even I think they are good. I go there for the omelettes. My favorite is the bacon and white cheddar omelette. The omelettes are also big. You will not go away hungry. Fruit crepes are also tasty.
Definitely better than any other breakfast place around. I am from Texas and the Original Pancake house there is way better. The crepes here were literally just thin pancakes here. I had to ask for the fresh strawberries instead of a jam that is apparently served normally with the French crepes. The kids menu is great! My kids loved the bear face pancakes and I am grateful for pancakes that don't come with chocolate, whipped cream, and powdered sugar.
