Monday March 21, 2022 at 8:26 amThis morning after work I came with my husband to have breakfast, my server for today was Jorge he was very polite fast and always made sure if we needed anything else. For starters we got the Sampler Appitiser enough for two my husband got he's favorite Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich very good I got the Cheese Blitz super delicious also got coffee for my taste it was a bit to bitter. But at the end I finish of with a Chamomile hot tea.

The food was fine, nothing special. It was a Saturday morning, and my boyfriend and I wanted to try something new, something with pancakes, something diner-themed. We ordered omelettes, chocolate chip pancakes with toast and breakfast potatoes, and shared lemon crepes (probably the best dish we ordered). I got an omelette, but it was one of those omelettes that got cold and stiff pretty quickly if not devoured in 3 seconds. It was a tad over-cooked (but not burnt) that it became very stiff. I prefer my eggs jiggly and soft, this one had a weird cooking technique. The pancakes were too dry, not very moist. They were a tad hard to eat/swallow BECAUSE they were dry (come prepared and order milk if you wish to try their pancakes). Also, beware that they only accept cash. My boyfriend and I did not see ANY sign at all saying that they only take cash. We almost had to have one of us run to the nearest ATM. Overall, the restaurant was fine, but the quality did not reflect the price.

Good, local restaurant for a tasty, filling breakfast. Friendly staff, terrific omelets and, of course, killer pancakes. What more do you want?Huge portions, so bring an appetite.

We come here every Sunday after church. This place has the best menu for almost anything you want, like blitzes that r stuffed with cheese, by itself, or even Swedish style with lingonberries & lingonberry butter on it, or stuffed breakfast style. They have pancakes, typical American breakfast like bacon, sausage & eggs. They, also serve waffles too.. If you tend to be picky or not sure what you want, come here, you'll find something you like ;))

I thought pancake factory must have great pancakes. The so called potatoes were fried so much there was only grease left to taste. Sausage was Luke warm at best, French toast soggy on the middle. Pancakes were small which I like but they were just OK. Had to ask for coffee refill even though there were only about 4 people in our section. Bus persons didn’t care how much noise they were making while cleaning up the tables. Will never go back. Should have kept it IHOP if you weren’t going to improve the food. IHOP might be better & that ain’t saying much.

Oh-my-goooodddnessss!!! yes, yes & yessss!!! I'm so glad we finally gave this spot a try! Our son attends the school across the street and we have been passing up this gem for more than two years ‍!!! We went and ate today and we're not the least bit disappointed!!! Service was excellent from the time I called to inquire about services (twice) to the gentleman bringing our to-go order out to us. The food was excellent as well!!! Potatoes made & seasoned to perfection. My hubby enjoyed the T-bone steak breakfast meal (pictured) and I had their pecan pancakes !!! Looking forward to trying their lunch options. Needless to say, this will be our go to spot!

Jorge provided excellent service and the food was great. My only complaint was that the hash browns were small but the pancakes were better than IHOP. Most definitely will come back. Right now their credit card machines are down and it's only cash.

Not perfect, but way better than the national chains. Good value.

Yes yes yes. "Factory" sounds a bit industrial for this homey spot of pancake delights (plus more). A converted IHOP that will satisfy any pancake lover. My server was so sweet, she checked on us constantly even though the place was packed. I'm all about vanilla icing, whether it's donuts or dipping stuff for my Wetzel's Pretzels. All such prayers are answered here: Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes, topped with icing and whipped cream. These pancakes are so good, you will not be able to finish them, that's how good they are. Of course every other kind of pancake is here. One friend says she sometimes dreams about the waffles at Pancake Factory. Another surprise -- the T-Bone steak breakfast. Somebody in my posse got it, and it is Flintstone-sized. It's huge! A nice touch is the "Factory Sensation" -- adds eggs, bacon or sausage and potatoes to any pancake order for $3.99. The breakfast potatoes are awesome (lightly deep fried but this is a cheat meal anyway). I saw someone eating a cheeseburger (at The Pancake Factory, gasp) and it looked pretty darn good Maybe next time PF. Easy parking in their lot and things move quickly if there is a crowd, so don't give up. While many restaurants have gone cashless, Pancake Factory went in a different direction: cash only! What?!? Yup. That's weird, right? Pancake, ho!
