It was my genius idea to eat a late breakfast here before heading across the street to get all wine-up at the Great Grapes Festival. Of course I didn't think of the fact that at 10ish it's packed with people who just finished the cancer walk (the confusing part is this is not the closest one to uptown...). I was pretty impressed with the quick turnover of the tables.
The menu is big (literally and figuratively). They don't offer the typical breakfast combo of eggs, meat, toast/biscuit, hushbrown/grits. But you bet it that pancakes come with almost everything. I ended up with the corned beef hash breakfast, which come with 2 eggs and pancakes. I love mixing my corned beef hash with grits, so I had to order a side of grits (boooo!). My sweet tooth of a boyfriend ordered an oven baked apple pancake with chocolate chips added. It's way more exciting to write about his food... that thing is huge and thick, and it doesn't look like a pancake at all. More like bread pudding or something. It's not too sweet, but sweet enough that you don't have to put syrup if you don't want to. He managed to finish it (with a little help from me). I swear I don't know how he stays so freaking tiny. My breakfast on the other hand was ok. The corned beef hash was not as salty as others. The pancakes weren't as good as I would have expected from a place named "Original Pancake House." It's a little mushy if I have to say.
I do have to say I wasn't happy with the service at first. The lady wasn't exactly friendly. I was without silverwares for longer that I should. I know this place was crowded, but it's always crowded, so that's not good enough of a reason. But oh well... I was told to chill, so chill I did haha
Apparently I'll be back for their seasonal pumpkin pancakes... let's guess whose idea that is??
