| - I'm happy to report that despite the bad reviews, I'm here to set the record straight!
A lot of the negative reviews state that the menu is just all together way too sweet. Actually, there are about a handful of non sweet things to choose from which is fine with me, along with side dishes to balance out the sugar rush! Bring on the sweetness!
We were slow moving today, so we didn't make it here until after 1 pm. Lucky for us, between 1pm-3pm all pancakes are only $5, sweet (pun intended)! The place is small there is only about 7 tables, but we sat down right away.
I am a sucker for anything labeled 'red velvet' (I see myself slowly turning into my mother and liking all her favorite things...oh gosh) so I ordered the red velvet flap jacks. They were on the sweet side but that is to be expected! I loved them, the red velvet flavor was strong and I could eat a bowl of the cream cheese whipped cream.
Someone else at our table got the cracker jack flaps, those were good as well. I thought the cracker jacks gave kind of a weird texture but it added to the taste. Someone else ordered the happy jack waffle. I suggest if you don't like a sweet breakfast then you order this. It's a waffle with pieces of hot dog, garlicky greens (heavy on the garlic), and everything bagel cream cheese. At first this combination made me turn my nose but after tasting it I thought 'This works, this really work! I would order this again!" Seriously, I would recommend this.
We also ordered the Mexican coke slab bacon and the root vegetable hash to try as well. Which also balanced the sweetness. The bacon comes in three pieces, perfect to split between the three of us and not feel so guilty about the calorie count.
I subtracted one star because the service was rather lacking. The server wasn't very friendly and service was rather slow. This is to be expected with a new restaurant, but what really bugged me was that the waitress spilled coffee on our table twice while pouring it. The first time she didn't clean it up, and the second time she just brought us napkins to clean it ourselves. That was just odd to us.
Bottom line: I really liked this new breakfast place in Ohio city and cannot wait to come back to try more. This wouldn't be a place I would come every weekend, but for a special treat!
