We tried it based on internet recommendations. Long wait - but that was expected. The food was unremarkable - no better than at IHOP. Coffee was good. Never got my order of bacon - even after repeated requests. The bill? $29 for our two breakfasts. Won't be back.
Pros
+ Good coffee
Cons
- Expensive for unremarkable food.

It is sooo good! But it is a tiny room with every single person who goes to church trying to eat there. the wait is always long and you are moving your chair for people to get by the whole meal, but if you can wait, it is worth it. everything i have ever ordered was mind boggling amazing.
Get there early on the weekends, or wait until the church rush is over... You will not find a better pancake no matter which one you choose. The staff is friendly even when the place is crazy busy.
