Kipp Chambers: The pancakes are amazing...and HUGE. For 2 people, you'll want to order a single pancake. (The menu doesn't mention it, but trust me - it's the way to go).
Superb: Order the red velvet pancake - with a side of extra friends, please. That thing is huge! We recommend visiting on a weekday, unless you don't mind waiting for your food.
Asim: HUGE portions. Amazing french toast and very good pancakes. it gets crowded.

P. W.: Best pancakes bar-none! I order them to go. Be sure and remind them that you want the berry syrup as well as the maple. They always forget to add the berry to to-go orders.

Carmen Khan: Delicious fluffy pancakes and super nice staff.
Chris L: Strawberry shortcake pancakes, omelets w/ tender short rib, and eggs served with duck confit. Pork belly chasu, w/ family marinade. The meat is hashed & topped with two perfectly cooked 6-minute eggs.
Natalie Guerra: The pancakes are to die for! But honestly everything on the menu is great. The restaurant tho is very small, so on a busy day prepare to wait to sit. Have to order before you can sit down!
Valentin Guerin: A mix between pancakes and latkes, those oatmeal griddle cakes are great! My favorite is the pink lady apple.
Jen Donato: Tasty cheap pancakes, so easy for a casual breakfast plan right near the park for a pancake picnic
