Came in on a Friday night super excited for a burger- my partner and I had been waiting for this all week! At 7pm the place was already full, but we were told if we could wait a few minutes a table would be available. So after some back and forth debtate, we decided to wait it out. This establishment is small, I don't think it could seat more than 20 people. There are about 6 tables, all in close proximity. Service was decent and we both just opted for the classic burger and fries combination. The food came out not long after and it really wasn't anything to be amazed by, I could have made this burger at home. Fried were good but you know, fries are always good. Nothing proprietary here. What I absolutely hated was the communal sauces concept- the whole idea just seems unhygienic and gross to me. There were a variety of sauces given to each table on a large platter, shared from table to table to have with your meal. One of the tubs was a tiny scraping of mayonnaise the other table had but we were given the rest of to finish- ugh, gross. Overall quite underwhelming and did not hit the spot. I'm sure there are better burger joints around where you don't have to share the sauce. I wouldn't return and I'm really disappointed- I was hoping to add this one to the list of local faves.

When our food arrived we finally asked to move spots but the back of the restaurant was just as bad. I can't believe other families weren't complaining. We also found a hair in our appetizer and the mains were subpar. My husband complained about his fries and burger and the manager was combative. They comped us for one whiskey and we left as quickly as possible. The shepherds pie was very salty and the side of veggies was very clearly from frozen.

We came in excited about this place, and the restaurant had open tables at about 6:50pm on a Friday ... we had just walked all day and were starving with a 2-year old and an elderly after walking all over town and sightseeing all day long. However, was told by this girl that they didn't have a seat for us. Although there was no wait, no one ahead of us and empty tables. I told her she could seat us in that booth, we didn't mind since our 2 year old wouldn't be eating. However, she cut me off and said that would not work. I thought that was weird but that should have been That it would take them about 30 minutes to get us a table. We walk around in the cold, come back to the restaurant ... there are plenty of open tables. My husband takes my 2-year old inside to wait so she is not in the freezing rainy cold (especially since she was sniffling). The hostess then says it's going to take longer and that we must wait outside the restaurant. We tell her it's cold, and we've been waiting. She then says ... "This isn't going to work, I'm not serving you. You guys can leave." She did not want to serve of us this entire time! She could have told us when we first walked in, but made us wait and walk around outside in the cold rain with a 2-year old and an 88-year old ... then decides she doesn't want to serve us. We walked in at 6:50pm, came back at 7:30pm, waited until 7:45pm when she told us she wouldn't serve us. By this time all the other restaurants were fully reserved or with 1-2 hour waits. We ended up not able to have dinner that night, and got snacks from the grocery store. DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! NEVER TREATED THIS BADLY BY A RESTAURANT!

The pancakes were delicious, I got them with blueberries and they were so sweet but just the right amount. You really get you moneys worth. We also had some curly fries and a full Scottish breakfast which were great. The ambiance was nice, and what you would expect for a Saturday brunch spot. There was surprisingly no wait, however, so we just walked right in! Large menu so I'm sure everyone could find something they'd like. There is also a full coffee & tea bar for all the caffeine needs. Overall, a good find !!

You can't expect a diner called The Pancake Place to be much more than what it actually is: a place…read morefor pancakes. Of course, I have a special soft and mushy section in my heart for all things pancake, so I was instantly drawn to this little nook. Situated across from a McDonalds, where expectations *must* be lowered, The Pancake Place is a little respite from the hustle and bustle of the morning crowds, where everyone is in a hurry to get a coffee, get a pastry, walk-eat-and-talk-on-the-phone, hurry, Hurry, HURRY! A nice diner like The Pancake Place was the perfect spot for me to have a hot cup of coffee and a stack of flapjacks, while I read my book. I got a Bacon Stack and, expecting the bacon to be perched on the edge of my plate, I was delighted to find that it was nestled in between pancakes, like a little treasure hunt! The 'maple-flavoured syrup' was a little too sweet for my liking, but still ok; and the pancakes themselves were light and fluffy, compared to the dense bricks one normally finds. The service was great, and I felt well-attended to, but not harassed. Delightfully pleased with The Pancake Place, and my expectations of the place were met perfectly, as it is exactly what it claims to be: a place for pancakes.
