Used to come a lot...now I wont be back. First few visits were good and it got worse after that. Servers are usually nice though occasionally youll get one thats rude. Owners daughter is usually on her cell phone or listening to music. Had a time when the server didnt add the bill up right and we were charged more at the register. This last time I went, it was pretty busy so I knew thered be a wait on the table. But when people with the same number in my party that came after me were getting seated I went up to inquire. Repsonse was oh, we skipped you, you can go after these people who are still after you. Waited 30 minutes before leaving and was only offered 10% off. And dont get an order to go, theyll mess that up pretty bad. Missing a whole order of food when I did that once. Too hungry to call back and complain. When you get your food theres always something thats gotten cold by the time it gets to you. Afetr giving a place so many chances youd think theyd eventually get it right?

My daughter (3 yrs) and I went here one morning. There were very many options on the menu, but we didnt go to off the ordinary: We had: Buttermilk pancakes, Bacon, Coffee (me), Milk (her). We both enjoyed the food, it was hot and tasted good. The menu showed many wild choices - like Oreo Pancakes. Those types are not for me, we just wanted plain jane pancakes (or I should say Hotcakes). For us, it was exactly what we were looking for. The service was quick and friendly. One think I like is having coffee in thick, white coffee cups that keep the coffee warm and dont burn your lips. They have them here. I also noticed that they had staff who were fluent in Spanish. I liked it for a quick morning breakfast. It isnt super fancy, but it is a great morning diner. My daughter is ready to go back!

I had the Mediterranean skillet with eggs over easy and on the side, wheat toast, and sausage links. Service was speedy and didnt bother the table to often.The food was filling and decently priced. The skillet could use some work though. The meat was diced and should have been shaved. The potato/onion hash was under cooked and slightly raw. The peppers were cooked well though and the feta complimented the dish with a nice tang. The eggs were done how I had asked for them and toast is toast. The sausage links were very good. They had a great maple flavor and had a snap to them when I bit in. Overall I enjoyed the meal and when I come back to Indy I will be eating there again.

So since Ive moved to Indy Ive gone out for pancakes @3 different places. This was by far the worst. Had a cinnamon roll that was pretty good. Unfortunately it ess advertised for about 2.50 and I was charged 3.50. Not cool. I let it slide though cause Ill never be back. A place called hotcakes emporium should have excellent pancakes. It was the only reason I came here and thoroughly disappointed. The water they serve was awful so I order a large orange juice. Im hoping they gave me a small because I couldnt imagine anyone being satisfied with a smaller glass

Service very SLOW. Sat for 10 minutes before being greeted by our waitress. Food was quick and great prices. Bacon was petrified, eggs were ice cold but cooked perfect, hash browns were cooked but mushy. Didnt need anything but sat for another 10 minutes after we ate and stacked the plates on edge of table for her. Finally went up front to pay but didnt have ticket. Host called the waitress over to retrieve our ticket. What was she doing? Reading the paper....oh yeah the ice breaker was when we found a snake skin underneath our table. GROSS!! NOT!!

Do NOT eat here if you have any allergies. My son is allergic to milk. He asked if there was any milk or milk products in the grits. He was told they would make them special for him, without milk or milk products. Shortly after starting to eat them, my son had a reaction. It turns out they had used BUTTER in the grits. We were VERY clear , and they told us one thing, but did another. Incidentally, they also messed up two of the other three orders.

Love this restaurant! Great food, good prices. Clip the coupon in Coupons4Indy before you go during the week! Waitresses are more like family, so expect "diner" waitresses and not "Le Peep" type servers. Which brings me to the food. Its also diner-type food and not for the foodie who wants an "experience." If this sounds good to you, I highly recommend you give them a try!

Went in to order my usual breakfast and was argued with for 5 minutes on how I would have to order additional items. I tried to explain I had always ordered this particular item and still the argument continued. I ended up paying for my coffee and walking to my car without eating. ...

Always good. Love the hot oatmeal served with brown sugar, and raisins, no lumps, really smooth and creamy. My poach eggs are always the way I like them. Lots of choices of breads. Coffee is always good and fresh. Fast and great service! Very reasonable and a large menu to choose from.

Well the food had no taste. They had about 15 employees, and at one point my wife and I noticed every one of them were standing around doing nothing. Our waitress was probably the rudest server Ive ever had. Seriously didnt say 10 words to us the whole time. Would not recommend.

While you can find several good trendy breakfast places in Indy if your looking for a really good diner style breakfast or lunch this is the place. Finally a place that truly knows how to.coom eggs properly. Great crispy hash browns bacon eggs over easy yum

Bad Experience! First time, last time! Cashier reprimanded me for my item choice off of their menu! Address your waitress, not me! This was handled very poorly. When I called back to speak to the Manager, I was informed that the cashier was the Manager!

VETERAN FRIENDLY ESTABLISHMENT! Weve been here at least a dozen times and will continue to go back. Everything weve ordered off of the menu has been excellent. You need to be careful to not eat too much. The foods so good that you want to eat it all!

Had a BLT Omelet this morning! Plenty of food to go around. Pancakes were delicious, and they leave a large basket of flavored creamer on each table. Would absolutely come back and recommend to friends and family. Our server was great too.

Not impressed at all, food was mediocre at best, and over priced. Will not waste money here again. If youre going to have something on the menu called cheesecake pancakes, they should really have cheesecake involved especially for $8.25.

Food was very good but service was not up to par. I dont believe Ive been to a restaurant where an army of wait staff was doing about everything but waiting on customers. Somehow our food was served before we got a first cup of coffee.
