| - They were "out" of German pancake batter when I visited, apparently it wasn't rising correctly so they weren't selling them. Given the typical recipe for puffed German pancakes (incredibly quick to beat up and make, with a longer than the normal restaurant meal bake time) this is *very* odd. (Are they using a mix?) (Is their oven down?)
The iced tea refill tasted off, but the coffee was "diner quality" fine. I had a few cups.
My omelet was exactly as I expected it, reasonable diner or diner+ (think IHOP) quality food. Price was a little steep for the quality, but I did order one of the more expensive things on the menu.
While it was many hours before closing they had someone going to tables (both occupied and not) swapping out the sugar dish; this would usually be done after the customers leave or between customers, was rather odd to have a fellow sprawl across the other side of the booth, after asking if he could refill the sugar.
Service was good - waitress seemed a little bit frazzled, but was friendly and kept beverages topped up very promptly (asking if I wanted more coffee) without me having to ask. One of the bussers asked if I wanted more coffee & filled up my cup after dropping off the dishes he was already carrying, I noticed the other wait staff working doing the same thing with their tables, keep up the good work! (This brought the scale up a star).
The restaurant is louder than normal, with lots of crashing dishes and kitchen noise.
On the "would I take visiting family members here" scale: I would not.
