| - I came with high expectations - and I left with a bad taste in my mouth.
I should start off by saying I am on gluten-free diet, not by choice. It took me 3 tries to finally get an answer as to what the GF pancakes are made of - and thankfully, on the third try, the wait person came out with the bag of GF flour that they use. They had said that there are no nuts in the GF pancakes, however, the GF flour that they use has almond flour in it. So, if you allergic to nuts - do not eat the GF pancakes!
I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and my partner, who is not GF, ordered the pecan waffles. I asked for ketchup - and out came this very generic brand. Call me a snob, but anything that is not Heinz will just not do. Heinz ketchup is really the only palatable ketchup that there is, and it is very delicious at that. I was enjoying my Huevos, until just about towards the end, I was getting a couple bites that tasted really off - like maybe the salsa was really old and past its due date. The hash browns are nothing to write home about. My partner's waffles were on the small side for what they charge. He thought they were delicious, but today, he is paying the price dearly, with a touch of food poison. We're not sure if it's because of the Pancake Cafe, but it is a strong coincidence.
The decor is very outdated, with old shabby carpeting. Service, however, was very good. We didn't wait too long for our table and food, and wait staff and hostess were very friendly.
I feel, however, like emphasis is not placed too highly on the quality of food that they serve - although, if you do want quality food here and you are not allergic to nuts, I would order the GF items. They use an excellent brand of GF flour.
