Have been eyeing this place for months but the long breakfast lines I see as I drive to Pinnacle Peak have steered me clear. Finally went by this morning and was pleasantly surprised. I called ahead to put my name in and was told it would be about a 20 minute wait..which turned out to be right on. They had complimentary coffee and water for people waiting outside which was a nice touch.
When I walked in, I immediately knew I liked the place. Yes, the paint scheme has a retro, diner feel to it. My 7 year old even commented that it looked like a hotel! However, I appreciated this throwback feel. Especially after seeing so many restaurants in Scottsdale have the same cold and modern feel. This felt comfortable for all ages to enjoy.
We were promptly seated. We ordered the German pancake with a side of the glazed apples and a potato pancake. Both were amazing and the type of craveable dishes that we will be returning for again. Service was quick and friendly. The kids menu wasn't bad either and definitely reasonable.
I'm glad we finally tried it and now I need to try lunch! While I know this place is owned by a restaurant "group" versus a locally owned place, I still like the overall feel of the restaurant and the food was good. From their attentive staff, it is obvious they have taken some of the earlier reviews/critiques to heart and are putting forth a good product.
