Our waitress was phenomenal, she was super good and attentive, with a wonderful personality!!“

“A few days ago, I had the privilege of stopping by American Pancake House & Restaurant for what I initially expected to be a quick breakfast. What I experienced instead was a reminder of what a classic American breakfast restaurant is supposed to feel like.

From the moment I walked in, the level of hospitality stood out. The service was respectful, attentive, and genuinely welcoming in a way that feels increasingly rare. Having spent time on both the West Coast and the East Coast, I can say that the Midwest continues to surprise me with the level of warmth and class found in places like this.

I was served by a young blonde waitress whose name I unfortunately don’t remember, but her professionalism left a strong impression. She walked me through the menu in detail, explaining the options clearly while also giving me the time and space to read through everything without pressure. That balance of attentiveness and patience is something that defines great service.

For breakfast, I ordered a sunny side up steak plate with hash browns and gravy. The dish delivered exactly what a hearty American breakfast should: comforting, satisfying, and full of flavor. It was the kind of meal that genuinely sets the tone for the rest of the day.

Beyond the food itself, the dining room carries an atmosphere that feels almost like being in someone’s home. There’s a sense of ease in the space you’re not rushed, not pressured to move quickly. Instead, you’re allowed to sit, enjoy your meal, and relax for a moment, which is exactly what a good diner-style breakfast restaurant should offer.

During my visit, I also had the opportunity to briefly meet the manager, and her professionalism was equally impressive. It’s clear that the quality of the experience from the service to the atmosphere is the result of thoughtful leadership and care for the establishment.

I don’t give praise lightly in reviews. When I speak highly of a place, it’s because it reflects something worth preserving. Restaurants like this represent a level of quality, hospitality, and authenticity that deserves to be supported. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a genuine, comforting breakfast with family or friends, this is absolutely worth the visit.“

“Amazing food always! And great service! We normally DoorDash to what is available in this area, but this will be my go to from now on- worth the drive to pickup!“

“Burgers, wings, fries 🔥🔥🔥“

“We only tried their bakery and it is nothing short of amazing...literally everything we tasted out of this bakery was not only delicious & fresh but it's as if effort was a flavor in every bite. I don't know how else to describe how unbelievably good it is. It's so good that even a flavor you dislike would taste good. If I'm ever back in Indiana, this will be one of the reasons why.“

“I'll be honest, im on vacation from Virginia. I was born in Goshen and as a kid walking past the place the food stood out. It seems like every time I come up from out of state I visit this place and this is literally the taste of Goshen. The place seems so family oriented and despite how busy this place gets the communication is strong so literally there is really no mix up or anything. This place has been with me as a kid and I hope it will be here forever“

“Great people and great food“

“Goshen Brewing Company has an easygoing brewery and patio atmosphere. A setting with plenty of appeal for a relaxed social occasion! If the patio is part of your plans, check seasonal availability and the current schedule before arranging a gathering with friends. My experience with this place was about 4 years ago.“

“Best home cooked breakfast in town!“

“Great food, great atmosphere! Try the pizza!“

“Had a mushroom and Swiss hamburger and onion rings and I have to say that was the best hamburger I’ve ever had and it’s a thick hamburger great taste I’m not even hungry and I want to go back and eat another burger I want to see what else they have that taste amazing I’d give it a 100 💯 stars“

“Today (8/27/20) we had an incident in the parking lot, where an irresponsible driver decided to not follow vehicular laws and nearly ran over my 5 year old, myself, and my 1.5 year old who was in my arms, and I’m 6 months pregnant. Since I was unable to catch the persons license plate and I was a bit frazzled, when I went inside and asked to see a manager everyone was really sweet and understanding, Erin, the manager, really helped make me feel like something was being done about the issue. Thank you Erin, your customer service is amazing, I appreciate it.“

“An excellent experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, came out quickly, and tasted fresh. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive.The restaurant was spotless, and the background music was at the perfect volume, creating a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy both the meal and great conversation!!
It’s the little details that make all the difference. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place…“

“The food was amazing and the waitstaff is awesome also. We’ll definitely be back soon“

“Good food and great service“

“Rudest bartender I've ever met. Dana called last call at 9:45pm on Friday. At 10:20 she walked through the bar and said you have 5 minutes to finish your drinks. She came back at 10:25 and tried to take everyone's glasses. Half our table wasn't finished yet and she became complacent when we would not give her our glasses. She told us we were no longer welcome at this BDubs location. Our server then came back to our table and said they don't close till 11:00 so if you would like to stay and finish your cocktails I would gladly wash your cups.“

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“

“I love this place. It's very near to Ox Bow Park, so you can go here before or after you've been to the park. The prices are great, especially in the economy. The servers have always been kind. They sometimes have great deals on buying gift cards, where you get 10 dollars free if u buy 50.“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“
