| - Like Cracker Barrel except slower service and slower food prep time, and a paucity of seating. The building is extremely long and narrow from the outside view, thereby leading to expectations of a roomy interior but then you get inside and feel tricked. There's a small counter and cluttered waitstaff area that takes up a good chunk of the non-cooking area inside, and then what looks like a living room sized seating area is all that's left. On a Monday morning I was barely able to get a table. I can't imagine the weekends.
Food was above average, prices were fair, but I thought the portions were too small. For $5 it's a very small stack of 3 pancakes, and you're not eating into the profit margin much by having them actually fit the entire surface of the plate. My order was more like the side order that you get for free with an omelette purchase at IHOP, except that the pancakes were spread out on the plate instead of stacked up straight.
And the place does have that Cracker Barrel cute country feel to it, but the old part of Glendale isn't convenient for most of us, especially this portion that is immersed by used car dealers, pawn shops, and homeless pedestrians.
