First time here and loved it. We just had pancakes and sausages. We were sat right away with no wait. The server did a great job of serving us. The food came out fast, hot, and tasted good. I tried the chicken sausage for the first time, and it was good. The syrup comes out warm. The butter was soft, not cold, easy to spread. The pancakes are a bit smaller than IHOP in circumference. Our bill for three meals was $77 including the tip. It’s a little pricey. We will be back. I wish they were open longer during the day.

Super friendly, very accommodating. A wonderful birthday bunch at a surprise location. The place opened in the beginning of June and now I’m in love with this place! The staff was amazing, Richard our waiter was so courteous and professional. The order came out perfectly just they way we wanted it. The corned beef hash was fresh, not from a can. The silver dollar pancakes were to die for I will be getting a full plate next time. They even displayed a Birthday wish I was so taken back by that. Definitely a dining experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A much needed addition to the area offering fresh ingredients masterfully prepared by a staff who clearly enjoys preparing delicious fresh food to those patient enough to wait due to the popularity of this restaurant already after only recently opening. The staff is friendly and attentive checking on you often yet never interrupting your enjoyment of the food in front of you. Management is equally attentive and provides insight into the work necessary to delivering an unforgettable experience and memorable meal.

Food was good. Service was great. Wait time was long, but this place is very popular (we also went on a holiday). Plenty of other things to do nearby while you wait for your table to be ready. They are also very popular on the weekends, so be prepared to wait.

Tried this place for the first time on a Sunday afternoon for brunch – wait time was over an hour but ended up being worth the wait. Delicious pancakes, the strawberry orange juice was fresh and tastes good! My husband got the apple pie pancake and it was more of a crepe than a pancake. Definitely will try this place again!

just left and had to review! It’s been my 2nd time here in a week and I wanted to say I loved both times I was here with separate waiter/waitress I can’t remember the man’s name but he was great! And Marisa!! & what I believe to be the manager or supervisor loved him so sweet and came up to me and asked how my visit was and thanked me for cleaning up the table, if u go to a restaurant please always organize ur dishes for them it helps them a lot and theyve probably had a long hard day the little things go along way! But yes Marisa loved her. & !! Waffles with fresh fruit to die for I hate fruit that’s soaked in syrup and taste almost fake so fresh fruit really changes the game for me. The homemade whipped cream….. to die for!!! The hot Chocolate to die for!! I love everything here. My fingers are crossed for this location to stay here as other businesses hasn’t stay at this location for long period of times I hope this is different for the original pancake house! My go to breakfast date!

What can I say about this place? This is the best place ever. Pancakes are better than IHOP. Everything is fresh when I mean fresh homemade food they make right in house. The owner is great and attentive, and such a down to earth person. We have been there before, and he remembered us which I did not expect, but he did. It is such a warm, welcoming place. The atmosphere is beautiful and the food once again, is the most delicious food I have ever eaten. my kids and my husband love the food and the atmosphere. My son loved his omelette so much that he wrote a positive review on yelp once he was done eating because he couldn’t believe how good the food was. I will come here again and again, and actually , we will be coming here every Sunday before church and make a family breakfast time together. It opens at seven but don’t come after 8 AM because you will be waiting. Only because it is such a great place but worth the wait. Keep up the good work!
