| - I usually just edit my reviews, but I bumped up to four stars rather than three. I have been here three times and each time it has gotten better. My coffee cup was never empty, we waited 10 minutes rather than the 25 I was expecting, and FLUFFY AZZ OMELETS!
What a gem here in Central Illinois. I will say right now (again), they do not have buckwheat pancakes as the Walker Brothers' Restaurant group menu says. Don't let that sway you my gluten free fans! My brother and I arrived at 1215 on Sunday after a workout at the infamous PBL Work/Weight Room. This is about 30 minutes north of Champaign. We knew we would have to wait 20 minutes since it was a Sunday. No problem, the first time I had this place was no wait (on a Saturday). Sunday is omelet and 'cake time! They have coffee up front for those waiting, so it worked out that they were treated to a cup of joe (and refills).
So we were seated, and when I inquired about buckwheat (love the nutty ((yar)) flavor), I was told no buckwheat. Now, each omelet comes with three buttermilk pancakes. Nothing wrong with buttermilk...but why not go into a culinary adventure this friggin' cold January day? I asked about the "bran" pancakes...don't let it fool you, Grandpa. Oat bran, yogurt, strawberries, and powdered sugar sounds good to me! My brother ended up ordering them sans strawberries and powdered sugar (they dusted them....brother didn't care...all he cared about was the waitress willing to remake them). I went with the bacon pancakes and savory is an understatement! So delicious!
They have a ton of pancake options (not a lot of whole grain/more fiber options), but bacon, Hawaiian, blueberry, and oatmeal raisin (which I got on a previous visit) should suffice for you pancake purists.
Anyways, we both knew of the fluffy omelet reputation because of plates coming out and pictures. Brother built his own and I went with the Western and my goodness...the flavor, the fluffiness, and the fantastic coffee I ordered went so well together. Fresh veggies in January? YES PLEASE!
The pancakes were great, but the omelets kicked a$$.. If you want average, go to Bob Evans.
I wish the omelets came with fruit/hash browns, but three smaller pancakes is better than two, so I guess they it's okay. I will be back for sure!
If you think you're being an original by going to OPH, you'd be wrong! I would gladly go back here, spend 25 bucks (two people) not including the generous tip we left. Our waitress was great; she felt bad about the powdered sugar but it wasn't her fault. Speaking of the waitresses, thank you U of I undergrad/grad students. You were eye candy I enjoyed! Does that sound creepy? Maybe? Is it the truth? Yes, middle aged 20 somethings are very attractive.
We even got a pitcher of water since I drink water like U of I gives up touchdowns.
If you're looking for a great meal, come here!
