    Perfect breakfast for two = eggs & bacon + eggs & hashbrowns. Then swap the buttermilk for 49er's, choose eggs your way, then split everything else. Hello, perfection!

    The food is amazing. If you order the omelette you might have to share with somebody or have lots of leftovers. Service is awesome. I would love to come back again.

    100% real maple syrup available for $1 per 3oz container. SO worth the extra money. We both decided to splurge on our breakfasts.

    It’s easy to order too much food here, but that’s not a problem. Come hungry and bring a friend, and don’t forget a side of bacon for the table.

    Food isn't life-changing, but it's no-frills and good. Great place to grab a bite with friends or family. Don't forget it's cash only!

    I die for their pancakes, like, honestly. I could live off their buttermilk pancakes and bacon.

    I've never met anyone who tried the banana bowl and didn't order it again when they came back.

    Their chocolate chip pancakes are classic, but their omelettes are even more amazing.

    Bring cash; no credit or debit cards accepted. Will not put your name in for a table if you call ahead.

    The two hour wait is worth it, don't leave until you've put amazing in your mouth.

    The Dutch Garden is delicious. But they don't make that here. If you can find it, it's worth a try.

    Cash or check only - no credit/debit cards! They have an ATM in case you need it.

    Try (and share) the Dutch Delight (a volcano caldera of pancake filled with fruit) or the massive and wondrously executed caramelized Apple Pancake. Read more

    Have them add coconut to your chocolate chip pancakes. I did this on waitress Mildred's suggestion & it was awesome-like a Mounds candy bar.

    If you like banana nut pancakes you're going to have to bring you own nuts because the banana pancakes dont come with any.

    Good food but questionable owners. They seem to put absolutely no money into their business, and are either too cheap to accept credit cards, or they just like to cheat on their taxes.

    Silverware looks like it's from a high school lunch line, terrible cups, no decor, no soda machine only cans. Good food, but come on-- spend some $ on your business.
