We visited for the second time last week and again had the best experience! Our server, K, did an excellent job. Our children declared their gluten free pancakes and French Toast to be the best they've ever had, the portion sizes were huge, and my parents were thrilled with the relaxing environment and the calm oldies music playing. The only thing I would recommend is listing the gluten free upcharge amount on the menu. Otherwise, everything was perfect and we look forward to going back!

The best part of this place is that they accommodated my wife’s gluten allergy. She was able to eat gluten free pancakes with no worries. The breakfast buffet was ok. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t wow factor either. The fruit in the buffet was the best part. Seemed fresh. Pancakes were buffet pancakes. I mean what do you expect from pancakes sitting under a bulb. I think fresh pancakes from the menu would be the better option. One downside was there were a few gnats and flies around the table that wouldn’t leave. Not saying this place is dirty by any means. Because you cannot avoid that anywhere.

This place is so much more than just the name as someone posted about earlier. We had lunch and it was amazing. Our waitress Penny was amazing, kind & very knowledgeable of dietary restrictions. They have good options for Gluten-free. Chicken Tenders were awesome. My daughter has an allergy & she loved them. We were informed by our waitress that they have a dedicated fryer for fries. They have Gluten-free pancakes and Gluten-free French toast as well. I had the chicken smashburger (Awesome) and my wife had the WhiteFish sandwich which was really good. I recommend pancakes house to anybody to stop by.
