It is always a good sing that a restaurant is good when there is a constant line to get a table. This little place fits that criteria. You can expect to wait 30-45 mins on Satu...

Gross! 5/16/2006

I have *tried* eating here two times and both times were disgusting. No one at our 8 person table was happy with the food, service, value or ambience. Save your money! Pros: Location Cons: Gross Food, Horrible Service more

Decient Decision 7/1/2005

I live in Elmwood Park and go to this famous breakfast stop on the weekends. The only reason I continue to visit this place is because the food is good. The service is the worst part about the place. They are rude, slow, and as we all make mistakes, it is hard to forgive them when every waiter/waitress I have had has made about twenty every time. I also do not like that the menu and substitutions are so limited. Want bacon and sausage links? well, don't think twice. On a plate, you get one or the other...you cannot have one of each. The hot chocolate with whipped cream is to die for, and so are the skillets!!! Pros: good location, hot chocolate, skillets Cons: service, crowded/busy, small space more

Go for the Panckakes 6/26/2002

I take my family here just about every other weekend for breakfast. The sourdough pancakes are amazing. In fact, all the pancakes are great. Their omlettes and other dishes are not so strong. Great family place. Pros: pancakes, value, for kids Cons: lines, omlettes more
