When I lived in SD, we frequented the Hillcrest location. I loved that they expanded out to Vegas!
I've come here on a few occasions now... with a bachelorette party, for a girl's trip, with a mommy-daughter bonding trip. The food here has always been solid... and the portions have always been HUMONGOUS! The service has been iffy, usually hit or miss.
I love their fried chicken and waffles, their housemade biscuits are always a hit and the hashes have been solid.
Flapjacks, I highly recommend the banana and brown sugar one. It's a HUGE pancake that tastes like bananas foster! Downside is that the charge for split plates and have minimum order enforcements for people. You can get around that by ordering a biscuit and splitting a main course since the amount of food is insane!
