| - I love the pancake house. Love it love it love it. In Madison, there is no equal.
You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The omelets are four eggs, fluffy and baked, and probably larger than your face. For a small upcharge, you can swap out the buttermilk pancakes on the side with any of the other specialty cakes. I'd highly recommend the wheat germ pancakes (hearty and slightly sweet) or the 49er flapjacks (flat like a crepe, but doughier, and well, gooey). All of their crepes are divine, and if you don't mind waiting a little longer, their oven-baked pancakes (the signature dutch baby and apple pancake) are phenomenal. With Brennan's across the street, they often purchase fresh fruit in the summer for daily specials - keep an eye out for anything they create with fresh peaches.
The weekend wait is worth it. You can get in quickly on weekday mornings for a fast bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar and cream. Oh, be forewarned - the coffee is only for those with strong stomachs.
Family owned and run, with servers who have been working there for years, if you come here often enough they'll soon learn your name, how you like your eggs, and if you're lucky, they'll provide you service with a hug.
