Lovely brunch visit today. Ordered coffee and juice, omelettes and pancakes on the side! The service was warm and friendly; and they leave a hot carafe of coffee on the table for you with your order. Delicious Marion-berry syrup! Their large pancake plates mostly go for $18.95 and their omelets that come with either personal size pancakes or crispy potatoes mostly go for $22.95. Lots of hot sauce options, juice and flavors of syrups as well :)

I have been coming here for years. 90% of the time I always get the same thing, the apple pancakes 🤤 it says right on the menu please allow for extra time which I completely understand. Today when I come, the lady tells me it’s gonna take 45 minutes to an hour. I asked what changed because I’ve gotten it dozens of time to foreign and it usually takes about 25 minutes. She said well I don’t know what to tell you, but it takes at least 45 minutes and usually an hour so you should probably pick something else. As I was cashing out, I asked the person who rang me up what had changed. She said nothing‘s changed and it takes about 20 minutes.

Yum! Menu has so many options! There's something for everyone. I had never been here before. It has a homey feel and reminds me of grandma's house. I went with a large group and seating was comfortable and everyone enjoyed their meal. Definitely will be back for breakfast!

Molly's customer service was genuine. The quality of the food, specifically the pancakes, was an amazing experience. 10/10 highly recommend.

My family lives this place. I think it's a bit overpriced for breakfast but it is good and the service is friendly. Always busy.

I stopped in for lunch on Sunday. When I looked at the menu and prices I was not impressed. The omelet I wanted only came with pancakes. The omelet was only ham and cheese. I wondered where the veggies were. I had already been seated and had my drink so I took a chance on it. I am so glad I did. The pancakes might be the best I've ever had. The omelet kicked all my other favorites out of the water. I will definitely be going back and taking my whole family with me. I'm salivating just thinking of it now. Also, the server was so nice and my food came quickly. Well worth the price.

Food is alright and very over priced. $5 for 1 scrambled egg, $6 for a plate of cubed hash browns. $16 for 1 flat and thin waffle.

My dad and I go here often and we like to go during the weekdays because it's very very busy on the weekends. We love the food, the proportions are huge! The service is always good and fairly, even when they are busy.

I've eaten here several times, but this last trip will be my LAST. The service was atrocious! I wasn't planning on posting a bad review, but I just heard that my dining companion became extremely sick after eating here, probably because her GLUTEN FRIENDLY pancakes were actually regular. I shouldn't be surprised. The waitress seemed distracted and rushed. The only time she offered us a coffee refill was immediately after bringing the coffee. I asked questions about the menu she couldn't or didn't answer.
We honestly should have left before even being sat. The hostess was either new or abysmally trained. The waiting room was full, she kept buzzing the wrong buzzers, there were numerous empty tables with silverware and water, ready to go, but still nobody was getting sat, and she kept picking up a stack of menus, wandering through the dining room, then coming back and setting them down again. She did this at least three times.
Abysmal service. Never returning.

For $22 I got a Denver omelet and had to choose between toast or fried potatoes. 🤣 I got half a breakfast for twice the price. No way I will ever go back.
