| - Forget IHOP forever... This place has the BEST buckwheat pancakes!!! Believe me, buckwheat pancakes are hard to find in most restaurants that serve breakfast. So, when I saw them on the menu, I was ecstatic!!! Order up, with a side of smoked apple wood bacon and a cuppa coffee.
The coffee was excellent & bottomless. It took some time to get served after we ordered. Surprising, because the restaurant was not too full, it was a Tuesday around 11am. Once our order arrived, the portions were huge!! The pancakes filled the size of the plate. I spread on a little butter, and doused the plate with maple syrup, and dug in... MMMMMM ... EXCELLENT!! Buckwheat is a very hearty flour, dark in color with a distinctive taste of sweet rye. The bacon was in 3-4 huge, thick strips - fried crispy. SO good!!
When we left, we could have rolled out the door - - we were so full!!
Aside from the usually long wait on the food and the mediocre atmosphere -- my only other complaint is the prices & hours. They were a tad more expensive than some of the chain breakfast restaurants and they are only open until 2pm every day. I happen to LOVE a hearty breakfast at dinnertime!! But, I'm sure they do 80% of their business on the weekends (and after church).
I will definitely return to try other unusual pancakes -- like bacon pancakes or chocolate chip pancakes... OR maybe I'll venture over to the egg dishes or sandwiches.. NOT!! A place named the Original Pancake House will only get all my pancake orders!!! :)
