Bacon is best I've had at breakfast shop. Solid, consistent, and steady. I eat in and order to go often. Not a big pancake guy but obviously they do them very well . I love the pecan cakes

Ashland Thomas

Very busy, but I was seated right away. Server was very friendly & attentive. I had a make your own skillet with turkey sausage , cheddar , spinach , and tomatoes , and it was fantastic. (cont'd)

Michele Evans-Brock

The menu will have you drooling. I for one can't get past the Andouille Sausage Skillet with the 2 over easy eggs , smothered potatoes and pancakes . CRAZY DELICIOUS! The pancakes melt in your mouth.

Ron Willis

Been here several times, but our server Cat really took very good care of us and made sure we got just what we wanted. Be sure to ask for Cat.

Order a skillet and pancakes , take home your leftovers if you need to, and thank me later. High quality everything here. They’re a popular spot, so be prepared to wait

Richard Conley

The apple pancakes here are boss. Possibly the best apple breakfast dish I have ever had. Also try the steak skillet (you get more if you get it to go).

Daniel

the service was implacable, and the food to die for. I let them recommend the dishes, and they did an amazing job.

The Dutch Treat is a work of art , but be prepared to wait around a half hour for it!

Jessica Gamba

The wait really is crazy, but the food is great and affordable , and everyone couldn't be friendlier. You just can't be in a hurry!

The steak omelette is delicious and ask for Nicole, she rocks!

Great food, go early or expect to wait. Dunno how they get the whipped butter so fresh!

Every customer needs to complain about the waiting area. There is no area to wait. They have to make space available.

The pancakes were good, but I really hated the syrup . It was very watery and not much flavor at all. Its a pancake house , the syrup is a major element! This made it disappointing unfortunately.

Theresa

Wait time was too long but once seated service was fantastic!

Sherrell Johnson

Great museum for kids and adults. Tons to see and do. Some of the exhibits are showing their age, but all-in-all it's a good way to spend a day. - Colin DuRant
