Got the German pancake, always recommended! The service was great too

I love the original pancake house, been coming here for roughly 35 years and the food has always been great. So much better than your typical chain breakfast restaurants like ihop, broken yolk, etc. They use real butter and fresh eggs and very high quality ingredients. Love the omelets and the German or Dutch baby pancakes but I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu here.

Came here for Brunch and man, do these people make a good pancake stack/ waffle. Food was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Service here was fantastic, the manager was on the floor too making sure all customers were taken care of. Highly recommend this place for breakfast/brunch!

Wow, okay food was good and the service was prompt, not overly friendly - not rude just not chatty, which is fine. My wow is for the price, breakfast for two, one coffee, tax, and a 20% tip cost over $50. I must say though that the bacon was thick, crispy, and tasty. The pancakes were average, nothing too special. All in all a good breakfast, just a bit on the pricey side, but I guess these days that's the norm for a sit-down meal.

So disappointed ordered hot tea it came cold ordered water never came eggs Benedict the eggs were hard as hard boiled! Potato pancakes were burnt. Plus charging .25 cents per egg surcharge. Wow service sucked food was awful

SUPER EXPENSIVE... Not accommodating for food allergies.

Go somewhere else. Price is a rip off in comparison to other places.
Terrible staff and waiting times on food when it’s not even busy.
Terrible servers who clearly would prefer to be anywhere else but there.
Tiny tables and the biggest plates so there’s no room to eat.
The waffle was SOOO disappointing.
The orange juice was considered a LARGE.
Just sad presentation and place it used to be much better. Definitely won’t be going back anymore.

I had an omelette and my god it was season less lol just terrible across the board.

Virtually no attention from the waitress, my order was missing some potatoes and she brought them to me after reminding her multiple times and almost at the end when I had already finished my plate

Delicious and good service, the pancakes that come with the omelettes are simple but delicious, next time I will try them prepared with everything, don't pay attention to the calories they mention in the foods, once a year doesn't hurt, or 2 or 3 he he

OG pancakes that have delivered the best quality for decades. The greatest benefit here is the large selection of toppings and none of them disappoint. 10/10 Everytime.

Went here by chance since I was getting work done on my car and it was across the street.

I will make this place a regular stop from now on. The small things like warm syrup, apple syrup I mean everything was great. Had the apple waffle with apple pieces baked in. Amazing.
