Cute atmosphere… kids will enjoy making their own pancakes. I ordered the chicken & waffle. Chicken is seasoned well & was nice and hot. However the waffle was cold.. Felt like it was premade & sitting waiting to be served. I didn’t eat it. They were nice enough to remove it from the bill. Asked the waitress for straws & never received them. Ended up asking a different waitress & she gave them to us. I’m visiting from out of town so I highly doubt I’d ever return

Great place to bring kids! One round of batter is enough for a couple kids and probably an adult too. Kids loved making designs and the buttermilk batter was delicious! Service was super friendly and accommodating

A bit loud, but it's expected for a breakfast/brunch place. But both food and service were phenomenal.

Came in pretty early on Friday and many people were seated already - good sign!
The buttermilk pancake batter by itself was delicious and sweet. We also had eggs Benedict and that was sooo delicious and filling.
The best part is the childhood fun to cook your own pancakes!

Over priced for a basic breakfast. Skillets wer turned up a little to high pancakes cooked quickly to burn quickly. The cube has chocolate in it which wasn't expected.

Stopped here quick on a Sunday after visiting the flea market down the street. We were able to walk in and be seated which they have outdoor, indoor with one and two stories.

You can pay to cook your own pancakes or order off the menu.

We didn't feel like pancakes so we all ordered off the menu. To make pancakes it's 10$ for a batter, $2 per mixed topping, $2 per topping, and $2 drench sauce.

Service was pretty fast here and we weren't finding ourselves waiting too long for anything.

Food was pretty good and eggs well cooked to over easy. Toast was a little too hard for my liking but still yummy.

The table space is kind of limited due to the griddle in the middle of the area so a little tight.

We saw some people making their pancakes and it looked fun but I'm not sure if I could justify the price compared to doing it at home. Plenty of families though here with little kids and I'd assume it may be easier and more fun for them to experience.

Not a bad breakfast spot!

This place is most likely the best breakfast I've ever been too. I've had my doubts about this restaurant, but I was wrong. First, I tried the Orange Pancakes. Their pancakes were astounding. They had exceptional taste and had terrific fluffy texture. Plus, the fruits and marmalade just had the right amount of sweetness. Next, I tried the Smokey Benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly. They had a nice runny yolk. The salmon had the right amount of smoky flavor. The potatoes were cooked terrific as well and seasoned to perfection. However, the croissant lost it's flaky texture and stability. I hardly tasted it. My ultimate favorite was the Wilbur Benedict. It was remarkable. The pork belly was cooked exceptionally and was not too fatty. The eggs cooked beautifully with a good runny yolk in the center. The potatoes were just as delicious as the potatoes from the Smokey Benedict. The texture and flavor of the cheddar biscuit just helps elevate the dish. Everything about this is well balanced and works together. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

Our grandson took us here as he wanted some breakfast. It was interesting. They had griddles on the tables where you can cook your own flapjacks and they had some interesting flavors. My grandson had a breakfast burrito and it was huge. He loved it. He and my husband had coffee and I had English breakfast tea. My tea was one of those organic types and I didn’t care for it. The service was great and the order came quickly. It was very busy and we had to wait 10 minutes for a table. I would consider going back for breakfast.
