I do not understand anyone that could give this place less then 5 stars...and the fact that I see it being compared to IHOP and ppl preferring IHOP over this place is crazy!!! Tey must have ordered the wrong thing or been there on a bad day. I have been going to this place for years since I moved to Phoenix and it is amazing! I always get the same thing...the 49er flapjacks with strawberry syrup and whip cream!! YUM YUM YUM!!!! That is not the only thing I have had though...the famous apple pancake that is more like a dessert then breakfast is still infamous there. If someone orders one you can smell it from the otherside of the restaurant it is amazing! I would recommend ordering one and taking it home then warming it up later and putting it with ice cream!!! OMG OMG OMG!! The French crepse are amazing and fabulous as well! Ron's eggs with the potatoes is fantastic if you do not want a sweet breakfast! Also, the bisciuts and gravy is out of this world!! I would say this is one of the best breakfast places in Phoenix!!! It is very casual you can go there in your workout gear! I would always plan to wait especially if you go during busy mornings on the weekends! Crazy crazy crazy!! I would give up something to be able to eat the 49er flap jacks and apple pancakes everyday! ITS AMAZING!!! love it!
