The hostess was friendly, attentive, and appeared to be doing an excellent job managing guests. After being seated, our drink order was taken promptly. Unfortunately, the service experience declined significantly afterward. Our waitress returned several times to assist neighboring tables, including one that was seated after us, and took their food orders without ever acknowledging our table or checking on us. After waiting approximately 45 minutes to an hour, we asked a staff member who was serving coffee if someone could take our order. She stated that she would notify someone, but no one ever came to our table, and we observed her continue with other duties without following up. Given that it was Father's Day, this was especially disappointing, as it prevented my family and me from enjoying what should have been a special breakfast outing. Ultimately, we decided to leave without ordering and informed the hostess of the situation. She apologized, but by that point the experience had already been ruined. This appears to be a management and service issue rather than an isolated mistake. While I appreciate the hostess's professionalism, the lack of communication and attention from the serving staff was unacceptable. Based on this experience, I do not plan to return. Management doesn't even respond to these reviews which speaks volume. read more

Nice restaurant. Has a very hometown diner feel. There are lots of booths so we were sat quickly. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Coffee was hot and delicious and really started my day. Food came out quickly and was delicious. I would recommend giving them a try. read more

I just left this place five minutes ago and the service wasn't good. When I came in, I asked for a table the waitress took me to a smaller table, and when I asked for a bigger one, she rolled her eyes at me. Then I sat down another waitress came to me and asked if I wanted something to drink. I sat there for more than seven minutes for someone to come to me as I asked if someone can take my order. Horrible service I did not recommend this place at all. Do not waste your time. read more

10/18/24 Local favorite hits the spot! Curiously, this pancake place has been on my bookmarked list, so today is the day! Breakfast is my mojo-go-to meal & it's a bonus since it's very close to home. At 10:15 am, Friday, it was not too busy, we must've missed the morning rush. It definitely looks like a locals' hangout the way the servers were chatting with the patrons. We were promptly greeted by Audrey at the front & seated immediately. In no time, our server, Claudia also greeted us & offered beverages to start. I was willing to take a gamble and order a coffee to see how they stack up to most places. I usually judge diners or restaurant according to the coffee that they serve. Surprisingly, it was decent. I couldn't decide but Hubby honed in on the (Supreme Stuffed) crepes-great choice coz then I get to sample his meal. Finally ordered the Bacon Skillet which is accompanied with home potatoes & cheddar & 2 fluff butter milk pancakes. In about 15 minutes our hot meals arrived. It's my preference when it states "skillet", I would expect it would be served in an actual/real cast iron skillet. That's probably too much to ask for but the tastiness of my Bacon Skillet won me over--it's the potatoes!!! So good! Perfectly seasoned & cooked, fried the way I like 'em. With every bite, I was just ooh & ahh all around for the potatoes. The bacon was pretty good, could've been crispier though. Hubby thought his crepes were pretty great , good portion. Fortunately, the skillet satisfied my appetite because when I finally tried the pancakes, I was not as thrilled. Yes, "light & fluffy" but nothing spectacular. Perhaps it is my preference for moist with a slight chewiness kind of pancake that didn't meet my criteria. Secretly, I was hoping to find lemon ricotta pancakes on their menu. No such luck. Overall it was a wonderful bkft. Never saw the bottom of my coffee cup, thanks to Lulu. Seniors & military receive 10% discount according to their sign. I love their indoor atrium that receive sunlight for those cold days, otherwise it's fairly comfortable climate indoors. Parking is free & shared among other businesses. Hubby & I are glad we finally had the chance to dine at Pancakes R Us. read more

My friend was really impressed with the food & service too.. the whole staff there are very nice . I definitely recommend this place .. read more

My wife & I stopped by today for breakfast, our first time here. It's a quaint place and the service was friendly. The food, overall, was ok - not outstanding, not bad just ok. My wife had scrambled eggs, ham, pancakes with nothing outstanding, in fact, her ham was rather dry. I had an omelette with avocado, bacon, & cheese which was quite good. I'd probably get it again if we ever went back but I doubt that'll be the case. The biggest disappointment, for me, was the lack of real maple syrup for the pancakes. They have the usual stuff one would find at IHOP - some blueberry and strawberry flavored syrups along with an "old-fashioned" pancake syrup - all corn syrup based, most likely, but no real, actual maple syrup, sadly. For the most part, this place is on par with IHOP so a return visit isn't necessary. read more

I used to like this place until I found out today there are age limits to the meals here . I'm not a big eater at times so I chose a kids meal but the server (with red hair) stated that it's ONLY FOR 12 and younger . So instead of ordering a portion that's good for me I had to pick from a different menu because food comes with age limits ? Ridiculous.... So anyone who's kids don't look 12 to the service have to order from an adult menu too? Because there are age limits to the menu items . And only because I had to give a one star otherwise I wouldn't put one at all . read more

The service was wonderful, Lourdes our server was friendly, prompt and attentive. Food came out quickly, coffee was delicious and fresh! My only critique had nothing to do with the service, the dining room was a little too hot to be comfortable. I don't know if the A/C wasn't working or if the timer needed to be adjusted for warmer weather. Buy the middle of my meal i was sweating. read more

I went there solo to try after I've been to the one on Pomona. It's just as good experience as the other one. I ordered one with the meat lovers but nice server let me just have bacon and sausage and asked hash brown extra crispy, eggs over medium and extra. I like the food though bill came to over $20.00 with Diet Pepsi; and they still have boysenberry syrup along w/ strawberry, blueberry and regular maple syrups. read more

Bring your DAYUM COAT!! We went in this past Sunday morning just after they opened... we sat at the counter, at first they wanted us to sit in the booth directly next to the front door... it was to dang cold to be sitting there so I asked if we could go further into the restaurant. I was with the grand babies and they decided on sitting at the counter. We dayum near froze to death! When I asked the server if the heat was on she gave me a bit of a snarky look then said "No" LOOK NOW I am having hot flashes myself but I tell you WHAT THO! it was cold in that place. Then she further says that I am the only one complaining about the temperature... (oh NO SHE DIDN'T!!!) then I looked at her as if to say "Did you REALLY just say that to me???" anyhoo I then told her to look at the other guests in the restaurant ERY'one of them had their coats on! PLEASE! (mumbling to myself) she gonna TELLLLL me that I am the only one complaining yet all her customers are bundled up trying to eat breakfast! PFFT! The kids loved the hot chocolate and the pancakes were a bit tough/hard says the 7 year old - they didn't eat them. They did however enjoy the bacon! Also the corned beef hash has plenty of bell peppers if that is your jam, it's not mine. I'm one and done for this location. UPDATE: Spoke with the Manager and they confirmed the heater NOR the air conditioner is used. Swamp cooler in the summer and no heat in the winter. Due to some customers complaining about it being 'to warm'. So buyer/diner beware dress warmly on a cold day. Respectfully Reviewed read more

Killer food. Chilaquiles are way too spicy. everything else was absolutely on point. Im country and they nailed it.

Pancakes R us???? You've been mistaken, Pancakes are gone. When i sat down I wasn't sure if they handed me a menu or the Shakespeare novel of flavor. After my first bite I wasn't sure if I was heaven or if I was in the booth of this fine establishment. Prime Iron Mike Tyson couldn't hit as hard as these hot cakes. After the meal I almost asked to chef to remove his hat just to check if Remi from Ratatouille wasn't chilling under there. 10/10 read more

Ordered breakfast for pickup and the food was delicious! My fiancé ordered the country fried steak combo and I had the old world crepe combo. The food was flavorful and comforting. The coffee was also very good. Once our order was placed it was ready quickly and packed nicely with foil inside the to-go container to keep everything nice and warm. Overall would definitely eat here again, I haven't enjoyed a traditional breakfast spot like this in awhile. read more

I've been here serval times and my parents love this place. The food is pretty decent but after today I don't think I'll want any of us to go back. I went this morning with my dad and son and the waitress that we had was extremely rude, horrible attitude. She was especially rude to my dad for some reason, not sure if maybe because his English is broken or what. I honestly wish we never even left her a tip. I didn't catch her name but she was short, heavy set and had curly hair. read more

If there was a zero option that would be chosen!!!! We paid $90 for two plates with upgrade charges on each plate of $15 for what was already presented in the picture. in very ambiguous description writing on the bottom worded as add-on server never expressed that there would be a charge. She just asked if we wanted it and my answer was yeah that's what the picture shows. Why would I want something else? That's what I'm picking. Not to mention the place it's sticky, gross, old style, definitely frozen food not fresh and definitely not worth $30 price for one plate. Manager and server were not helpful and said read small Print. I forgot going to breakfast was the same as signing a contract or buying a car. Lmao. Terrible honestly save your money and go to IHOP. Or a wayyyyyy better mom and pop spot that for charge you 90 for 2 basic breakfast plates. RIP OFF!!!!! read more

If anyone one is price gouging, it's this place! A simple scramble egg breakfast and dry stack of pancakes (no bacon or sausage just hash browns) $20 ? The cost of eggs has gone down so what's the excuse? There are better quality, nicer looking places that don't cost as much. The place looks like an 80s cafeteria, the people were nice but that's about all I can say about this place. read more

This has become my go to spot when I am craving chilaquiles or French toast. For starters, it's pretty spacious and clean, and the service is always great too. The menu is pretty extensive but don't get overwhelmed, everything is pretty good. Definitely try the French toast sub the pancakes for them, they are the best in town, to the flavor to the consistency. Also, the chilaquiles are amazing! They are actually really spicy so beware and always ask for a side of sour cream. Overall their food is nothing fancy but definitely good. read more

First time coming here , food looked great until we started to eat first there was a hair in my steak and I just grab it and took it out and just let it go , then we went in for the pancakes and found another hair . Please as a server check your plates before taking them out it's clearly visible read more

Nothing fancy, but the service, food, and ambiance fits the purpose of a breakfast and lunch Diner similar to Norms. This is not the place if you want organic healthy food, but rather a place for good 'ole diner food. I'm giving this restaurant a five star mostly because of the service with a smile! The staff is very attentive! I ordered the International Sandwich, which is a BLT with turkey. It hit the spot! My husband ordered the patty melt. It was a bit greasy, but he said it was tasty! The bathrooms were very clean! Large parking lot adjacent, free. read more

I usually get the chicken fried steak skillet I love the red skin potatoes with cheese. I also like getting their steak any cut is good depending on what you're after. The pancakes are great. I usually get the boiled eggs. The French toast are my second go to if I dnt want pancakes. Cnt not have biscuits and gravy too. The service is slow but I keep coming back because the food is good and not really salty my dad can't handle all the salt. Even though it's a bit slow they are nice and I like that. It's always nice and quiet with chatter from the few people enjoying three food, read more

The service was quick & friendly. The hot chocolate was delicious, very creamy. My father said the pancakes were good. Although it would be hard to mess them up. I got spinach stuffed crepes. It was definitely something new to for me. They were good, but personally not for my taste palette. I wouldn't get them again. It's currently lent so we couldn't eat meat this day. I would come back and try other breakfast items. read more

*This review is based on Postmates order* Not worth the price, food portion is tiny to compete with any nearby brunch place & no flavor in both lingonberry jam nor Eggs Benedict. It was the most salty Eggs Benedict I've ever had in my life and the smallest portion of egg for Crepes combo. Can't believe they charge $17+ for each dish for the quality of food. I would rather go back to IHOP or Danny's, at least their portion size is huge. Terrible experience read more
