    Great Breakfast Spot for pancakes and baked omelettes.

  • A classic. Great breakfasts. Can feel a little rushed sometimes, but usually the staff is friendly and considerate, especially of kids and parents. Wish they would refill your coffee more often. The Apple pancake is the star, but those in the know go for the 49ers, huge thin crepe like pancakes slathered in whipped butter.

    Far better than average breakfast fare. Avoid the lines as it's not that good and the corned beef hash, which is sour and a bit acrid. Pancake dishes here are excellent, however.

  • Heaven for heavy breakfasters. The apple pancake is superb and impressive.
