Let me first say that we did NOT come here because Queen Obama did. That said, we did come because we were looking for a local diner for breakfast and wanted something good and home cooked.
I was pretty surprised that the Millvale location was as hoppin' as it was! There isn't much going on in Millvale and was almost hesitant to visit this location. I saw the beaming reviews on Yelp! and being close to home sealed the deal.
We waited in line for about 15 minutes - it was quite busy the Sunday before Labor Day. The service was pretty slow - which was compounded by the fact that our server was new there.
I had the banana and chocolate chip hotcakes - OMG! They were to die for. The hotcakes are a cross between pancakes and crepes, in my opinion, and are thinner but have delicious crispy edges. The bananas and chocolate chips were rolled up in the hotcakes like crepes rather than piled on top a stack of pancakes. The chocolate was perfectly melted and not too sweet.
I also ordered the sausage - served in links and with a nice, crispy casing almost like handmade sausage.
...and a chocolate malt...for breakfast!
The prices are really reasonable and me and my husband ate for less than $20.
