The wait was insane but the food was worth every second. Sourdough pancakes were to die for. My wife had the French toast and she absolutely loved them!

Everything we eat here was super awesome especially the pancakes. Even though it was super crazy busy we still had excellent service. order the potatoes extra crispy. They are awesome!

Truly my favorite breakfast place in the world. I've been coming since I was a baby and my dad has since he was a child. Dutch baby is a classic and must have. Also, try the pigs in a blanket.

You need to be prepared for at least a 1/2 hour wait on a Sat or Sun, and worth every second of it. These may very well be the best pancakes in the universe...

The 7-11 across the parking lot is owned and operated by Sharrif. He's got a Borat like mustache and wears killer shorts.

Not worth it. Too much food, not enough options, and way too expensive for sides. Never coming here again.
