| - Upon arrival on this lightly crisp Friday morning, my son and i anticipated great things on our first visit to Pancake Cafe since they had left the University Ave location.(our prior visits there were exquisite)
Not too heavily trafficked at 8 30 am, the seating was quick, and our server cheery. We received coffee in a hot carafe at our table before our seats even had the chance to get warm. After a short minute, Monica ( our server) reappeared and we requested a minute or two to scan the vast selections ranging from sweet to savory.
I was quite excited, scanning thru selections and decided what my taste buds were longing for. I chose the Oven Baked Omelet with Spinach and Feta (which comes with a seriously putrid mushroom "sauce" on the side),Rye toast, and a side of their famous smoked Bacon. My son chose the Eggs Benedict. We also had a accompaniment of 3 buttermilk Pancakes.
HERE IS WHERE IS GETS SCARY
The wait for our breakfast was a tad longer then anticipated (approx 20 mins), but not to the point of frustration.
After Monica brought our meals to us, we were excited to dive in, based solely on our past experiences with Pancake Cafe.
On my first glance at my plate i had noticed my Omelet was dark and dry, and sadly was. The 3 strips of Bacon (4.95) was cold. Another sadness set in. The Rye Toast had a BURNT EDGE, not dark but Burnt and was surprised this was bypassed and served anyway. This toast was like two dried pieces of cement chiseled off of a highway median. Sadly the rest of the meal digressed just as rapidly as the first impressions.
The side of Pancakes reeked and tasted of the griddle oil the hash browns were fried upon, and the "WHIPPED BUTTER" possessed that "old" taste which accompanies dairy goods left too long exposed.
THIS IS THE REAL KICKER
My son's Eggs Benedict were a laughable excuse for authentic and poorly executed. Before he even cut into the Poached Egg, sitting upon his Ham Slice and Soggy Muffin, we noticed that the bright yellow, obvious packet made Hollandaise was coagulated and stiff. I was Shocked. But then even after THAT first impression, he cut into this traditional breakfast entree, expecting that gorgeous flow from the golden yolk. BUT alas that moment never happened. The yolks were hard cooked.
This was just too laughable at this point.( We will post photos of this exact meal soon.)
So all in all, service was okay ..food was a HUGE disappointment!! Bad Coffee....and horrible sweet syrup. For a Pancake Place, you would think they would have real Maple Syrup. So So Sad. We were very disappointed.
If you are searching for quality food for a great breakfast , I would highly rethink before you decide.
