| - This is one of my wife's and my top-5 go-to places. We've been going for years and years now.
That whole time, we've seen a lot of the staff remain the same. I take that as a sign that the owner treats his people well, which is a good thing. We've also seen a number of the Latin BOH staff graduate to server, which I take as a sign the owner appreciates ALL of his staff. Another good thing.
All the staff is friendly, and never fail to take good care of us. We're total regulars now so they know us well, but they were always great to us.
The food. Their pancakes are the best. The perfect kind of light-n-fluffy cakes that soak up the butter and syrup without becoming sodden or heavy. The potato pancakes are nice and potato-ey, and the applesauce is cinnamon-y good on top. The swedish pancakes are light and eggy and the lingonberries are fantastic on them. I wish I could find lingonberry jam somewhere around here! the dutch baby is a real investment of time and appetite (be hungry!) but is worth it if you like a traditional type of pan cake, served with lemon and powdered sugar.
The sausage is good, and they offer turkey sausage which is tasty and probably half the calories. The bacon is thick-cut, so order it crispy if you like your bacon crunchy. The coffee is average to decent and gets the job done. My wife likes their oatmeal - I can't comment on that. OJ is fresh-squeezed and delicious. The hashbrowns are unique in that they arrive in the shape of a flying saucer. The exterior is super-crunchy and browned, and the interior is fluffy bits like the inside of a tater tot. My wife loves them, but I prefer hashbrowns that are shredded like tiny matchsticks, if you know what I mean.
Some people call them "OHOP," which is wrong and dumb. It's OPH, and I'm down with it.
