Absolutely delicious! Went here for my birthday breakfast and had to come back two days later. Service both times were excellent. The servers were professional, friendly and never too far away. We did not have to look up to find them, and they were not overbearing. To top it off, the menu choices and actual food was so good. The chefs do great work here. I took a chance and ordered their banana bread grittle pancakes and a Santa Fe omelet. My food was so good, that I ordered it again the second visit. My husband ordered the pecan pancakes and loved them. He took bites of my toddlers bacon and said in the car, "that was probably the best bacon I ever had". My teenager had the chocolate chip pancakes and french toast and she loved her meal as well. We were very satisfied. I am a little sad to have to recommend this place as I am sure it will be packed out if people know how delicious the food is. :)

I have been going here for years with my family and it is excellent! I even still love going here after being diagnosed with celiacs disease, and while they do have an awesome gluten free menu there is some cross contamination. So if youre very sensitive be careful. Their coffee is great and if theres a long wait you can get complimentary coffee in the waiting area, plus REAL cream. If you intend to go on a weekend, call ahead or expect to wait over an hour to be seated. The staff is great and their attitude and work quality is never effected by the chaotic busy times. I wish I did so well under pressure! During slow periods the place is quiet with nice classical music playing. But the weekends are PACKED so be prepared for a "busy air" atmosphere.

Great food and even better waitstaff! They are busy on the weekends, but they offer a call- ahead service. We call in the morning and they are ready to seat us once we arrive. The service is fast and friendly. The quality of food is great! They offer a wide range of items on their menu and are always willing to accommodate your needs. We have 3 small children and bringing them out to eat can be hectic, but the staff is great with them. We always go there on their birthday mornings and they bring out the pancakes with candles on them. (Great touch) The food also gets delivered to the table fast, so you dont wait long to eat!

We had an awesome experience! The food was Delicious! I had the corned beef hash and eggs, she had the banana praline crêpes. The awesome thing is that my wife is gluten free! It was so wonderful to finally find a spot where there was a huge gluten free menu, but whats more, the staff is actually trained to be knowledgeable in the area! We have been to places that had a full salad bar and fruit bar and they told us nothing was gluten free. The have separate dishes, cookware and stoves and are meticulous about keeping everything separate. Cant recommend highly enough!

Perfect place to have brunch. We are pure vegetarian and pancake contains egg. So, they prepared a new mixture for us that too without egg. Love the service. As soon as I took the first bit of banana pancake, I feel like "this is what I need in my life". We ordered cranberry walnut pancake, hash brown potato and banana pancake. Amazing taste. Classy ambiance plus the reasonable price. The only downside is wait time we waited for 79mins and ate our brunch in 20mins.

I recently stayed in MN on business. Everyone told me I needed to try this place, and I am so glad I did. Excellent food, super friendly and efficient staff, clean and nicely appointed dining area, and low prices. These were literally the best pancakes Ive ever had. The coffee was really good, too. And my server never let my cup get below halfway full. They are ON POINT here. I will absolutely be back next time I am in MN.

One of the best places we go. We are on first name basis with much of the staff. They switched apps to Nowait and actually know how to use it. With the new opening in Minnetonka I was worried about staff moving around but it turns out they didnt miss a beat. Good things to come with the summer expansion. Looking forward to the positive growth. A hint, order everything on the menu short stack so you can sample it all.

Ordered the Dutch garden pancake, was very disappointed. It was brought out as a flat pancake which was not at all in line with other Original Pancake houses. Service was subpar and costs were higher. I would not recommend. Servers also washed tables and did wash hands afterwards meaning they were serving foods with contaminated hands. This is a health safety issue I do not plan on returning to this location.

Everyone is forced to sit in a bustling two foot aisle, trying to dodge wait staff while yearning to hear their meal companions. Its definitely a cramped café style experience with highend fluff to trick the eye. Also, use a restroom before you go, as it was closed while I was there. If youre more interested in good food than you are concerned with an uncomfortable atmosphere, then youre in for a real treat.

The prices are crazy expensive, it was two dollars for a single piece of bacon, and the chocolate milk was four dollars for not even eight-ounces. Everything on the menu was either an upgrade or an a la carte item, which caused the bill for my table to be almost $80 dollars just for four people. Would not recommend going here the food is okay, the service is lazy, and the food prices are crazy expensive.

This place has really good food. It has an olde diner-type feel with unique breakfast options along with traditional breakfast options. Very filling!! And the service is decent. When I went, the silverware wasnt clean and thats something Im nit picky about as it can mean that there may also be oversight in the kitchen when it comes to cleanliness and food safety. Otherwise, great spot!

We love this place, and everyone we take there loves it also. It isnt just pancakes, its an experience. Very classy establishment, but we never feel underdressed. Food is excellent and they have every type of pancake, waffle, crepe you could want. Our favorites are the Dutch Baby and the Apple Pancake. Having just wrote this, I think we will go their for breakfast or lunch tomorrow.

Never go here on a Sunday! We called ahead an hour and when we got there they were seating guests after our reservation that didnt make a reservation that came in after us! Took 20 extra min for our seating with no heads up..the host sat us without smiling and just walked away after putting our menus down. If they could only get there act together and manage better!

Penny!!! My girlfriend and I visit every once in awhile and the food is always amazing and the service is good. But this last time our server Penny, really made this a 5 star place! Such a fantastic server and we hope to get him everytime we return. He really went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and was extremely personable.

Everything was great except for the pancakes. It had no butter milk taste to it. But I ate it. Hehe Enjoyed a family feel atmosphere, great waiter, fresh food and super delicious coffee. Coffee is bottomless cups. My kidneys were floating in coffee when I was leaving. I recommend going here alone or with friends and family.
