When picking up the food, the gentleman that helped us had everything ready and neatly packed - with very generous portions or meat, rice and beans, including all the lettuce, tomato, chilis, cilantro, onion, limes, salsa and a huge bag of tortillas - a lot of value for less than $140. Highly recommend and will order again in future!

Having lived in Southern California for a very long time, I had seen Pancakes R Us when they were…read morelocated down the street on 17th. The place they are currently residing in used to be one of those belt driven sushi bars, but now it's pancakes. Which could have been fun with a belt drive system. But I digress. I had never eaten at this restaurant, but had always wanted to so today seemed like the perfect day to do so. Parking is definitely a little bit limited. I can imagine when it gets busy that it's tough to find parking, but I got here early enough in the morning so I was able to find it. If I'm being completely honest, the inside feels like an upscale IHOP. With a modern twist. The booths are nice and comfy, and the syrups are on full display much like IHOP. Wait staff was friendly and attentive, so I ordered the steak Skillet which came with a 7 oz steak, two eggs, potatoes with peppers, mushrooms and cheese, as well as half a biscuit and two buttermilk pancakes. I was very impressed with the steak, I'll be it a little bit tough, it was still a good size steak and very tasty. The skillet potatoes were amazing and the pancakes were very good. My only complaint about the service was I had to ask for my milk two times. Again, it wasn't that busy to wear. It would be easy to forget, but I will slide them some gray so, give them four stars instead of three. Bottom line? The food was delicious. I would definitely come here again. If you happen to be in Costa Mesa and you are craving some good pancakes, this place should definitely be on your list!

The cheese sauce is kinda whatever, it needs more spice, salt, or seasoning. The tallow they use to fry the potatoes plays well with the sausage gravy!

Service was solid, though one staff member was going around giving free food to a guy she seemed to be flirty with, good for him though. Overall it was ok but nothing great. Assiming they just need time to perfect. I ordered the smash burger, hot dog, fries and quesdilla. The hotdogs was basically rough like a slim Jim. That the greatest at all. Ate 2 bites and junked it. The quesdilla was a basic cheese quesdilla no issues at all but it was basic. The major issue the smashed burgers weren't actually smash burgers they were just normal burger. Think a big Mac Patty. Also the burger was pink in the middle.
