Average. My oatmeal w blueberries was super sweet- too sweet. Grapes on fruit plate were wilted, squishy and old. I told the waiter who walked by after he said, "Wasn't this fruit plate fantastic?"Daughter's French toast was good. Coffee was good.

I had the spinach and mushroom crepe and it was not good. I blame myself for not telling the waiters anything to possibly save me $15, my plate was still full when we asked for the check! The potato pancakes were very oily for me and the spinach tasted undercooked, the mushrooms didn’t help the texture as well. I was really hungry so I had some fries and pickles, 10/10 would come back for some fries and ketchup. Really should’ve sent my food back but I was shy lol! Anyways, great place for breakfast!!

I'd save your money for an actual breakfast place. Never coming here again. Parking sucks. Food sucks. Service sucks.

I’ve been coming here for 10+ years. I always order the German pancake, easy done. specifically 7-8 minutes in the oven. I’m pretty sure I’m the only person that wants their German pancake like this. I have this pancake for every for every birthday and Special event for all 10 years. I have brought my entire family and nearly all of my friends. I am extremely thankful that the staff and managers continue to accommodate me. I will continue bring this restaurant my business and new customers for as long as I can get my easy done German pancake.

This place is great. Service is amazing and the people are great. Easy free parking and prices aren’t crazy. The only thing is the few times we have been to his location the food seems to be off. As if the kitchen staff is not a breakfast staff. Something is missing to bring it up to heaven on earth level. It lacks something. It’s good but not awesome. I ordered the bacon skillet. Luke warm and mostly potato skins. My son and wife enjoyed their meals. But admitted something seems off.

Love this place but the past 2 times I have gotten the same server who just completely ignores us the entire time, just literally takes our order and gives us the check without speaking to us. And I literally have to flag her down just to get a box or get my water refilled. I see her interact with other guests, so idk if it's the color of our skin or something we did (always leave a 25%+ tip for decent service, doesn't even have to be amazing and never everything except polite so) Overall just disappointed that this place hires people like this. Tetiana needs to do better.

Great, local, friendly place. The food here is so fresh and delicious! I highly recommend treating yourself to the apple pancake. I don't even like pancakes, and I loved it! A++

Had a very good experience at the Pancake House today. The menu includes many variations on traditional breakfast foods. The prices were a bit on the higher side, but the food was amazing!!! Everything was freshly cooked and hot. The serving sizes are VERY large. It is a busy place on Sunday at noon, but it was worth the wait. Our server was efficient and pleasant. The food took a bit of time to arrive, but it was very, very busy. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed it and will be sure to eat there again.
