| - Nothing brightens my mornings faster than a short stack of sweet and delicious pancakes!
This morning a few friends of mine talked me into trying out the Original Pancake House off of Charlottetowne Ave. We arrived at the restaurant at about 11:30 am, and it goes without saying that this place was packed. To my pleasant surprise we were seated within about 10 minutes. That was record time considering there were about 8 other parties in front of us.
Once seated we were greeted by our amiable waitress, and put in our orders. My champion breakfast that morning was the CIAA Combo #1, which consisted of two eggs scrambled with cheese, 5 strips of bacon, and 3 pancakes with a glass of apple juice to wash it all down. The food was delicious, it reminded me of my mother's homemade breakfasts. The pancakes were fluffy and moist, with just the right hint of sweetness in the batter that you didn't even have to use alot of syrup. The eggs were scrumptious with a near perfect consistency and had a wonderful egg to cheese ratio. The only issue I could find with my breakfast was my bacon. As always, I ordered the turkey bacon, however, I neglected to ask for it to be cooked to the crisp. So when the waitress noticed this she kindly took back my bacon and brought me out a some fresh crisp strips. Such a kind staff, and very attentive. Overall, my dinning experience was memorable and pleasant, and my wallet thanked me. (My total for breakfast was only $8.97)
Outside of the restaurant are lots of shops and things within walking distance so feel free to shop around and work off some of that delicious meal you just indulged in. I sure did. Parking at the Original Pancake house is a little tight, but traffic in and out of the restaurant tends to move pretty quickly, so no worries.
I suggest you and your friends give the Original Pancake House a try, it's definitely a nice change of pace from the typical breakfast chains.
