What a wonderful place! The service was great. The food was amazing! We had lunch. My burger was delicious but the potato pancakes side stole the show. I also tried some of my Aunt's quesadilla and it was wonderful too. Will go back many times in the future. Highly recommend.

Best pancakes and omelets in Pittsburgh! There can be a short wait on weekends, but the food is well worth the wait. Try the Dutch baby. You'll love it. Noise level a little high but that's from happy customers enjoying a great breakfast.

Food is awesome. You owe it to yourself to have the Dutch-baby style Apple "pancake" once in your life! Service is always great. Only complaint is that the place is pretty dark and dated inside.

Awesome pancakes, tons of flavors loaded with the various options. Great in house syrups that pair with the chosen offering. And every other breakfast choice imaginable. Served quickly and from a very friendly staff. A must try place.

Busy on wkends. Thirty minute wait. Waited to order. Thick bacon slices, huge portions. Ask for potatoes to be crispy as they're mushy otherwise.Kid-friendliness: Has kids' menu.

Food wasn't great. Prices are too high for the small portions and our waitress was super rude. Do not recommend. Skip it.

Everything was great except its way over priced. Who would think breakfast would cost over 60.00 for 2

I typically love going to the Pancake house. They truly have the best gluten free pancakes EVER. But today I had the rudest server(Alyssa D). I’ve never been treated so condescendingly by a server in all of my life. It’s a busy restaurant so I do understand the stress. However, the way she spoke to me regarding a substitution for a side item was awful. I almost got up and walked out. This is not the first time I’ve been there where I witnessed her being rude to a table. Do better!

I went here for breakfast along with a friend of mine last Thursday. It was not busy at all. The food came exceptionally fast. Only thing was, my friend had asked for bacon crispy. Our bacon was beyond crispy it was dehydrated at best. It would crumble if you hit it lightly. Other than that it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend this location again.
