I think they are short staffed, so service was slow, but all staff was very polite and communicative about wait times. (Our waitress was phenomenal! I didn't have anywhere to be so I really didn't mind sitting and waiting. Food was great, I will be returning!

The food tasted fine, as usual, however I noticed two changes from the years prior. They appear to use this electronic tool for placing orders. Using this seems to allow them to have customers pay at the table, thus reducing congestion at the front desk. However, at least from my experience, this has less versatility for the more particular orders where a customer might want stuff excluded. In such situations, a paper and pencil would be superior. The second change I noticed was how the chocolate chip pancakes were made. Previously, it used to be three large chocolate chip pancakes in a flower petal pattern on the plate. I deemed this superior since, when they put chocolate syrup, white sugar, and other toppings onto the dish, it would be evenly spread out onto all pancakes. Now, they have five medium sized pancakes in a traditional stack. As a result, the toppings only really get onto the top pancake, and the rest can only enjoy the topping of your choice of syrup.

The staff is consistently friendly, and the prices can’t be beat—especially with their morning “Kids eat free” offer. We've never had to wait more than a minute to be seated. They serve tasty gluten-free pancakes and vegetarian omelets, and during the warmer seasons, you can enjoy dining outside.
