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!
Jesse SeagrovesAugust 4, 2013The 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.
Emily KaneDecember 26, 2017It’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.
Katie MillikenNovember 11, 2014Food 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!
Sheldon SarauerOctober 30, 2016I die for their pancakes, like, honestly. I could live off their buttermilk pancakes and bacon.
Kevin KlosAugust 4, 2015I've never met anyone who tried the banana bowl and didn't order it again when they came back.
- Ally MDecember 20, 2015Absolutely love coming here for brunch with friends or family. Always a good atmosphere.
Matthew SilbernagelDecember 6, 2015Bring cash; no credit or debit cards accepted. Will not put your name in for a table if you call ahead.- Ally MJuly 22, 2015Their chocolate chip pancakes are classic, but their omelettes are even more amazing.
pierro tamatodeMarch 16, 2016The really big Apple cake. It's delicious .If I would get it every morning. Cool.
Rhonda AmacherJune 17, 2014Food is great!! Service (Daniel) is better!! Best breakfast we have in a VERY long time!!
Mikael ThomasJune 26, 2011The two hour wait is worth it, don't leave until you've put amazing in your mouth.
The pancakes are amazing, and the staff of so friendly!
Barry GoldbergDecember 16, 2012The Dutch Garden is delicious. But they don't make that here. If you can find it, it's worth a try.
Keith CaveySeptember 12, 2014Cash or check only - no credit/debit cards! They have an ATM in case you need it.- Heavy TableApril 6, 2010Try (and share) the Dutch Delight (a volcano caldera of pancake filled with fruit) or the massive and wondrously executed caramelized Apple Pancake. Read more
Heidi HaksethJune 6, 2010Have them add coconut to your chocolate chip pancakes. I did this on waitress Mildred's suggestion & it was awesome-like a Mounds candy bar.
Andrew KyllonenDecember 5, 2010If you like banana nut pancakes you're going to have to bring you own nuts because the banana pancakes dont come with any.
Clay RogersJune 29, 2015Good 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.- Clay RogersJune 29, 2015Silverware 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.
