Priscilla was AWESOME! My fiancé & I had breakfast with my grandparents from out of town and she was very polite, professional & timely!Very quiet restaurant for family & friends! They also have an outside eating area which is shaded! Prices were not that bad either. $52 for 4 people!I ordered the Belgium Waffle with fresh strawberries, Turkey sausage patties & an omelette!Great Quiet Restaurant!

Beef Liver & caramelized Onions, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and vegetable medley portions were hearty. More for another meal or two. Nice place for the time of day and enjoyable for adults who like no kid or low kids environment. Excellent for small groups.

I would not recommend eating at this location. Like other reviewers, I agree the food seemed rushed. Nothing was hot about the food especially the temperature. The waffle to syrup ratio made the waffle soggy so if you order a waffle or pancake I recommend you get it plain so you can control the syrup. They also are not able to attend to a larger crowd, they were not able to keep up with orders or drinks. I would not recommend you come with a group of any more than 4. The waitress tried to keep up but the food clearly needs improvement before I would return.

Excellent breakfast! We’ve been going here for the past several years and the food is always delicious, amazing service courteous staff, and very affordable. I usually get the western skillet & hot cakes, but today I tried the hungry man skillet & hot cakes, both are a breakfast skillet dream come true. In this genre of breakfast restaurants, Hotcakes Emporium are killing it, just simply go here, they’re the best…skip the rest! You won’t be disappointed!

Went here with my fiancé for a breakfast date. It was popping, but everyone was kind and our waitress was very attentive and patient. Food was delicious, will definitely be coming back!

A wonderful tasty local breakfast/lunch spot with a broad and varied menu. I'm a big fan of the omelets and bowls. Something for everyone.

The food was served hot from the grill. The loaded potato soup was the best I've had anywhere

We meet regularly for breakfast. Great food and service. They do a great job keeping your coffee full.

A neighborhood, inexpensive, casual place with fantastic service. Good home style food. The place is clean. Staff really strive to ensure you are happy with everything. I meet friends there quite often and will continue to in in the future.

First time here. Daughter invited me to have breakfast with her and the twins. Crowded, but order was taken promptly. Hash browns were brought out for the twins, which we did not order. My scrambled eggs arrived cold and the bacon likewise. Rather than send back, I just took it home to eat later. The hotcakes were nice and hot and fluffy too, which will lead me to give them a second try.
