i took my best buddy here for breakfast today. i have never been to this specific le peep, but had sampled one in indianapolis that was good enough. i figured i'd give the chambana le peep a whirl.
the menu is extensive. maybe a little overwhelming. i find the less things on the menu, the better the food. (concentrate your excellence, restaurants of the world!) i ordered the "wheat" pancakes. my friend ordered some sort of breakfast hodge podge called "the eighteen wheeler"..... the name alone suggests impressiveness. she does not eat pork, and asked if anything could be substituted for the pork sausage included in the meal. the answer was no, but for an extra charge, you can add fruit or toast or "sassy apples"... whatever in the hell that is. substitutions are not a part of the extensive menu.
our food came rather quickly for a sunday morning. i was disappointed to find that my "wheat" pancakes were not wheat at all. they were in fact regular old un-nutritious pancakes with wheat germ delicately sprinkled atop. sigh. the potatoes were okay. my friend said her meal was alright. nothing special, but nothing to really complain about.
the waitress was nice and attentive. she made sure our drinks were never empty and she was pleasant.
would i return? maybe. maybe not.
