Be prepared for a 30-minute but the food and service will worth it. The apple pancake is delicious.

Stopped for a late breakfast- restaurant was not that busy. Food is always really good (love their pancakes!) but service this time was awful! Host acted like it was an imposition to seat me (although he wasn't busy). A good five minutes before server stopped by although he only had one other table. My breakfast arrived, but I guess I was supposed to eat it without silverware - had to flag someone down to get it. No check back, no offer of a coffee refill/ warmup. Very disappointing- if I didn't love their food - I wouldn't go back!

Hadn't been here in at least 15 yrs. Decor remains unchanged. Our server was very attentive. Food was enjoyed by everyone.

Food was as expected. Lots of options. Great service, very fast and the use the CityCheers app which is amazing if you want to sit down and get in and out. Plenty of parking, lots of families. Sparse on the vegetarian and Vegan options, but they are there.

A bit pricey, but definitely a cut above other breakfast places (IHOP, for example). The bacon is thick and the orange juice is freshly squeezed.

It's okay, highlights are some of the more exotic pancakes but mostly the omelets are excellent. A lot of the pancakes is just the special ingredient topped onto of a pancake and not cooked into them. Some of the more "exotic" options such as the huevos rancheros is cooked incorrectly, and terribly portioned for its price.

There is a reason we are regulars. Good food, good service. Love the huge omelets. Oh, and fresh squeezed orange ang grapefruit. Can be crowded and parking is sometimes a challenge.

First time. Food was nasty. Even the pancakes was nasty. I was super excited about this place because it always looked packed from the Main Street. I was not impressed by the food.The service was good. But food was not good.

Family friendly breakfast staples! Good service and fairly clean. The food is perfectly fine. Not delicious, but not bad either. I suggest coming here with company you enjoy rather than for a scrumptious meal. Relaxed and cosy for a get together. The main seating area is a little outdated, some of the furniture has stains, rips, etc.

Good is always great! My go to for a "comfort food" breakfast.
