great food long wait

by Jpavelchak at Citysearch

the food was great I reccomend the eggs benedict or any of the pancakes. The food is fresh and yummy but you will have to wait to get a seat but once your inside the service is fast and friendly.

• Pros: great portions
• Cons: you'll have to wait to eat

Great lunch spot if your in the mood for breakfast

Went there the other day with people from work for lunch. Plenty of seating and good breakfast with reasonable prices. Not sure its as great as everything at Stacks but planning to go there again, esp. when there's a line down the street for Stacks! Food came fast, portions were large and OJ was decent. Waitstaff was friendly and prompt. Probably a good place for kids as well.

• Pros: Not crowded on weekdays for lunch

Pancakes that are just outta this world...

If you're one of those breakfast people (as I am) and you live around the Bay Area, don't miss this place. The pancakes here are the stuff of one's dreams - a serious bit of buttermilk heaven. Served hot and quickly with plenty of real butter and syrup to go around.

The coffee is great, the service is attentive - and the food comes out amazingly fast. The prices are in line with other breakfast places (pancakes will run you about $6, and omelette about $9) - but the caliber of food here just makes it a no-brainer.

Remember, it's a pancake house - so don't expect quiet, cozy dining. It's kid-friendly, grandma-friendly, and can get a bit noisy during peak times. But that's because it's crowded. And crowded is good in the restaurant business - so they must be doing something right.

• Pros: incredible pancakes, quick, efficient, vintage charm
• Cons: a bit loud, line at peak times, parking inadequate
