I was shocked to see the two star rating. I recently moved here after living in San Francisco, CA and Liberty Lake Wa. I actually make an effort to try pancakes anywhere and everywhere I can. I had been on an uneventful search in The Scottsdale area, and yes I tried Butter's, then voila! Flapjacks! Up until now the best pancakes I had ever had was at a hole in a concrete tilt up on the Napa river in California. It took me ten years to find that place. Flapjacks has the best original pancake. The extra expense for the Vermont maple syrup is well worth it!
