I stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and it turned out to be amazing. Best waffles I've eaten in a long time. The pancakes were delicious too

The original pancake house is a good breakfast location. Not expensive but more than your average breakfast. Two people no frills over $40 breakfast.

French vanilla coffee is great and so is the blueberry syrup. Despite the lack of biscuits and gravy, the meal was still delicious. The waitress was nice as well. My only gripe is the price is expensive. $4 for a coffee is not ideal to me. You can tell that they want to turn around tables quickly as well, which makes sense with how busy this place is.

This was my first time eating here and oh my God the food is so freaking good. Like I can't even express how tasty the pancake was. The Dutch baby.... The lemon, the butter, the sugar It's everything you want in a decadent breakfast. This is the kind of breakfast that you have on your last day on earth because it's that good. Bonus is that the bacon is really freaking solid and delicious. Very much recommend.

I love this place. Delicious food and friendly staff make for a great overall experience. Parking can become a problem depending on what time you arrive so I usually go closer to the time they open. There are a lot of hard surfaces inside so when they are crowded, it can become a bit loud. But I am nitpicking at this point. I'm so glad they exist and that I live relatively close so that I can experience this delightful establishment when I get a craving.

Have had breakfast here a few times now. We always get a seat, even on a late Sunday morning. Once with a party of 10! The staff are great and the service was excellent. We were missing an item and the server had it to us in under 5 min. The food is awesome, large portions for a decent price. I feel they haven't jumped like some other restaurants. We left with left overs and definitely will be back again

Undoubtedly one of the best breakfast restaurants in the South Hills area...south of the Fort Pitt tunnel. OJ is good, i have it over ice cubes. The corn beef hash with sunny side up eggs is good. And the magnitude of the menu is extraordinary. Meal cost is economical as well. In conclusion, it was a pleasure to interact with the employees bringing us the original batter pancakes (from a previous meal here), the hot corn 🌽 beef hash with eggs, bulk homefries, and eggs benedict meal......made to order.

A magnificent and elegant looking establishment, it's food for the eyes as well as the palette. Dining hall's a bit chilly during the winter, so bring a light jacket just in case. Menu seems relatively expensive, but the food and beverages are great. Online menu is confusing and tedious, and it's missing options compared to the website. System and menu need updating. Other pluses are the friendly staff and ample parking.

Great experience! We got seated fast, the waitress was attentive, food came out in a timely manner. I got the spinach Benedict, it was really good. We also got the big apple pancake, a little burnt on the edges, but the inside was amazing. It was great experience!
