    I love getting any of the savory German pancakes! They have a wonderful texture and flavor. If you want something fun to drink try the pomegranate mimosas!

    Go for the German pancake with apples and cinnamon. The chorizo patty is an excellent pairing. Go early or plan to wait.

    Everyone in the German pancake family is here- Pear, Bleu Pear, Smoked Apple, Banana Praline, Kiwi, etc. It's like breakfast with the Von Trapps.

    Order the huevos rancheros 'christmas style' and you get both colorado and verde sauces - the easiest decision you'll ever make.
