Mikey DunnJanuary 6, 2019Some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had — even better than IHOP’s in my opinion. Light, fluffy, and tasty. 🥞

Lenny GalloJuly 7, 2018Although they are a little bit pricy, the food is great and worth it. Everything is huge and sharable. Must try the omelettes or a side of their thick cut bacon.Upvote5Downvote
Jeff ChaOctober 21, 2016Original corned need hash, with poached eggs and one of a kind potato pancakes. Can't go wrong with that combo.Upvote4Downvote
Everything is good here! You better be hungry, because portions are big! Their baked omelets are huge!!!Upvote1Downvote
Best breakfast spot ever. Just refreshed the interior... Choose the breakfast bar which shortens the wait. Mediterranean omelette and a side of the best bacon aroundUpvoteDownvote
I've been ordering the chocolate chip pancakes since I was 5 years old and will NEVER change my dish of choice :) highly recommend ya'll do the same!Upvote1Downvote
Jaye LindnerAugust 25, 2011Probably the best eggs benedict i've ever had. Their hollandaise is just so on point. Love their potato pancakes too. This one is by far superior to the one in fort lee which sucks now!!Upvote3Downvote
Dan KeoppelJune 26, 2017Awesome food, well prepared. Very good service. Can get backed up during the weekends, so be prepared to waitUpvoteDownvote
Tom HalleranMay 2, 2015Come at lunch time to avoid the crowd on the weekend. Coconut pancakes are worth a try, with the tropical syrup. Bacon is thick and good.Upvote2Downvote

Fast service and friendly staff! Try the red velvet pancakes! If you're not that hungry, order a short stack.Upvote1Downvote
Jim FisherJanuary 29, 2012They could use a proofreader for the check-in special. Eggs Michael makes up for any misspellings and grammatical snafus. It's like a grown-up version of biscuits and sausage gravy.Upvote1Downvote
Their corned beef hash is amazing. Pair that with buckwheat pancakes (with 100 percent maple syrup) and you are in for a treat!UpvoteDownvote- Lindsay ListanskiApril 15, 2012Arrive with patience. The long wait is worth it. My favs: 49er stack or chocolate chip pancakes. Both are awesome.Upvote1Downvote
Great options, awesome breakfast comfort foodUpvoteDownvote

Great wheat germ pancakes and chocolate chip stacksUpvoteDownvote
They won't seat you until your whole party is there, even if there is nobody waiting and even when the hostess says it is because they are busy.
