i guess this place is pretty good.
i'm not sure i'm head-over-heels about it like everyone else is.
the first time i went there, i got one of those 4-egg omelettes that they oven bake. i was definitely not too keen on it. yes, it was huge and yes, you could feed an army with it, but i felt like it was overdone 'cuz the crispy burnt outside really distracted from the eggy, hammy goodness on the inside that i wanted to taste.
i actually had avoided going back since then because usually when i brunch i go the omelette route but.. . .
i went back recently for a friend's birthday, however, and tried the combo plate. i liked that this option existed since it was just 1 egg (cooked however you want it), 1 sausage patty (or whatever meat option) and 3 buttermilk pancakes. it was like i got to have all the different foods but in smaller portions so that i could actually eat it all.
a friend got potato pancakes with his eggs benedict which looked awesome! i'm not sure how you can go wrong with thin fried crispy slivers of mashed potatoes though. the eggs benedict themselves actually didn't look that great and honestly made me just yearn for the amazing eggs benedict at cafe continental.
the wait was 45 minutes at noon on sunday. yes, it's the sunday brunch crowd, but that's quite a wait.
i'm hungry and i'm hungry now.
one point off for the wait.
one point off for the omelette.
one point for extensive menu.
one point for good combo plate and those potato pancake things.
one point for good service.
you have won me back for now, original pancake house.
don't let me down.
