| - I love this spot as a go-to breakfast spot. The Original Pancake house has a great menu for a price that is comparable to what I consider to be lower quality diners (Denny's and Eat n' Park). Why not go to the Original Pancake house if you have a choice between the two?
There's plenty of setting in gigantic booths. I think the interior is furnished with Amish made fixtures. If they're not Amish, they still give you a quality feel. The booths are huge and eating in this place definitively won't leave you feeling desperate for your space to enjoy the time and meal there.
I've eaten there many times. I'm a huge fan of the weekday specials which are dirt cheap for such great combos! Most of the time I find myself there on a weekend though when the specials are not offered. It's then I really have to start choosing what I'm gonna satisfy myself with that morning. Pancakes are a no brainer, but all you get is pancakes unless you pay for a side of something else. That's the advantage of the weekday specials; your choice of eggs, meat, and pancakes (regular or special) for a low price. I've had so many of the special pancakes I can't decide which is my favorite. I can't say I've ever been disappointed though. I did get a crazy stomach ache one day trying to finish a full stack. Beware! It's a lot of pancakes! The omelets are also great. Again, on the weekends you're limited to a 6 eggs omelet VS. the weekday when you can get a smaller size. 6 eggs is a huge omelet! My favorite here is clear though...the Greek omelet is amazing! Stuffed with lamb, spinach, and that delicious cucumber sauce. Wow, what a great meal!
One of my only complaints is about the orange juice. They only offer one kind. I think it's fresh squeezed on site. I'm all about fresh squeezed, but there must be something about the oranges they use or maybe I just don't like pulp, but it's never what I'm looking for. The coffee, however, is great and you won't have any trouble taking down several cups of that.
When you're ready to go remember you have to pay up front near the exit. Don't sit at the table with your card out waiting for the waitress to take it for you. She probably will say something (because all the staff has been friendly and accommodating in my experience), but you can save yourself some minutes just knowing ahead of time! We you do leave, you can look over the hill to the Denny's below and feel good about yourself that you made the better choice :-).
