    This is still by far the best place for bacon and pancakes. And the coffee hits the spot!!

    I would give this place no stars...the only reason I'm giving it 1 star is because the very nice lady that sat me and my daughter she was very nice and considerate and gave my daughter a balloon.  As for my experience here the food was horrible my baby loves pancakes but these were sohorrible that she would eat these. The omelet that I ordered looked disgusting like those up. And the waitress attitude sucked and dont ask her any questions cause she was ready to argue and show her nasty attitude. The place is to small and where we sat people kept bumping into us . I wasted 28.00 here and this was my first and last time here

    I just strolled into this establishment on a whim and I'm so glad I did. The chocolate chip pancakes are beyond amazing, the sausage was perfect, and the eggs were amazing too. The service was very quick and the workers are pleasant. Will be coming back.

    Damn good breakfast. The wife loved the potatoes and I swear she never loves any kind of potatoes. Great service from our waitress. We were helped instantly. Still busy but got our food in a decent time. Pancakes are awesome.

    I've been here several times and I've never had an issue with my food but the wait time is crazy! The waiting area is even crazier! They pack everyone into the small space between the entrance, restrooms and cashier, then you wait until your number is called which could be anywhere from 25/45 minutes. Ince you get past that mess the rest is pretty good. I will say that the prices are a little high, but the service and quality is decent so I don't mind paying. It is a parking lot but it's shared with other businesses so parking isn't always easy to find. If they could get the waiting area situation I order, I'd give them 5 stars.
