On weekend mornings the lines wrap "around the block" at this circa-1936 Prospect Heights diner beloved as much for its "second-to-none" service and "old-school kitschy vibe" as for its "to-die-for" pancakes and "even better prices"; it slings breakfast and lunch only, though the new Coney Island spin-off stays open later in the summer.
