I really like this breakfast spot and frequent it as often as I can considering I don't live on that side of town.
The pancake batter and homemade wheat bread are a recipe from who I assume is the owner. Our waiter pointed her out to us but she was walking around cleaning up tables, etc. Whoever she is, her recipes are delicious.
For the cheaper/lighter side, I recommend the Sunshine Combo. Either side you choose will do. The sausages are HUGE here. I saw them served to someone else. I'm normally a bacon girl but may change that next time I go to JP Pancake. Yum.
Today I had the build-your-own omelette with mushrooms, spinach, avocado and chorizo. I was thinking I was taking a chance with the chorizo but it was so flavorful and the perfect amount of food. Their home fries are also to die for so whatever side you choose is great.
The only thing lacking today was the service, and that's why it got four stars.
We had to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated when they said it would only take 5. The waiter took forever to come greet us. I understand he's the only waiter serving a restaurant full of people but he never asked us how everything was. They were also out of strawberry jam for the person I got breakfast with. It was okay for me because I like grape jelly. It took forever for our food to come out, but the check was quickly placed on our table only minutes after we got our food. I hate when they rush you like that.
