    Banana cheesecake crepe Heartland Sampler

    First time here and I loved it. Quiet and cozy atmosphere, delicious food. Waitress was so nice and sweet. Definitely coming back for more yummy food

    10/18/24 Let's give Montclair bkft places a try, shall we? Probably a local favorite?

    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.

    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.

    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

    Killer food. Chilaquiles are way too spicy. everything else was absolutely on point. Im country and they nailed it. Also the wait staff was pretty chill about sending back the spicy cilaquiles. i highly reccommend the country fried steak. the placed was also not very crowded in a tuesday morning/afternoon. good atmosphere.

I do wish they were a bit more affordable or had a senior menu but the food is prepared nicely and always taste delicious. My one negative gripe is the music it's just way too loud and not appropriate for people my age to want to stay and order more. I have spoke to friends of mine and we all agree the music is not appropriate for this style of restaurant even classical works but top 40 pop is a bit much and detracts from the French theme vibe. Some French Music would make this place a dream. Since it is a French themed restaurant. Or at least appears to be. But the contemporary music deflects away from the French vibe and atmosphere. So I give a thumbs down on the loud music ie. minus a star. However I feel changing the music only would add to the ambience and the vibe of the place, just my opinion. However, sadly due to the Music, I choose sit outside but when your my age with this heat being so awful it would be so nice to sit inside with the air-conditioner with nice refreshing music. I will cross my fingers it gets better as I would eat there every day. On the upside there is one lovely tall dark haired fair girl at the counter who looks very French and has a European vibe about her aura she just makes the place. She is so kind and welcoming. I have gone in very stressed a couple times and her demeanor is so calm and sweet she makes me feel welcome and appreciated and diffuses my stress level every time. Very few people nowadays have that kind of charm. She doesn't make me feel rushed or brushed off like most service people. I just adore her energy she has the best manners and eloquence of any waitress in Claremont. I'm always happy when I see she's working. I wish I could pronounce her name I think it's Bree or Bly or something like that. Also they definitely need name tags too. But the food is very good.

    I have a soft spot when it comes to getting pancakes with either boysenberry or blueberry syrup…read more Tara was in love with IHOP and she used to alternate putting a berry syrup on the top pancake, traditional maple syrup on the second pancake, and then back to berry for the last of the triple stack. So now that's what I do. That's why when I go to pancake joints like Pancakes R Us with their selection of syrups, I immediately smile. Yes, I like diner flapjacks and I like places that serve fruity pancakes, but it's nothing compared to how I overjoyed I get when a place has all the syrups and are willing to share them with you. The other parts of the breakfast were good too. The eggs were super runny and sunny, just like they were supposed to be. The breakfast links were good, if not skinny, but they give you four so I'm all good with that. And the hash browns were okay, but it's very hard to eff up those to any degree. And the coffee refills came in hot and came in often. I got to the five benchmark in less than an hour. That's all you want from your server. And this server anticipated me every time as if he were some kind of coffee Oracle. The place was kind of dim and old, but I kind of dug it because it gave away a hangout vibe, like I was a regular as soon as I walked in the door. I even talked MLS/La Liga/Premier League with the server like we were old friends. But the best part was the superb access to those berry syrups. That's the key to any success flapjack joint.

I remembered this because Iron Skillet has got to be the fastest on the draw in terms of keeping you coffee topped off. I counted in the first fifteen minutes I was there, I had my coffee refilled four times and probably eight times in the span of the forty-five minutes I was there. The only slowdown I saw was when they dropped off the bill. Suddenly after that no one was checking on me to see if I needed more coffee. I guess they figured that I had had enough and were cutting me off. That's a mistake because as long as I'm sitting at breakfast I'm going to want coffee. The second thing I noticed was they have a damn good skillet program here, especially if want to experiment with creating your own. It was something like $15.50 to put in three mix-ins for your skillet, but only $1.50 to make the mix-ins unlimited. This time I kept it simple--sausage, ham, green peppers, and onions along with customary cheddar and three eggs--but next time I'm going to experiment a little. The skillet itself was amazing. The portion was generous, the produce was fresh, and the eggs were super runny. It really is in contention for the best traditional skillet I've ever had. The other thing that could've put it in the running for best skillet overall is if they had some exotic offerings for protein like I've had elsewhere in the country like elk, smoked pulled pork, duck, walleye, or even rabbit. Skillets are good, but skillets with like an animal you don't normally see for breakfast is amazing. I'm still on the lookout for my goat skillet. The service, as aforementioned, was impeccable. The coffee refills is the main thing I complain about other breakfast joints and here I never even had a thought to getting upset regarding that for the first portion of the meal. My only critique as you may have guessed is to continue that generosity and initiative for the whole meal. I really want me to toy with breaking double digits with the amount of coffee refills I receive during a meal. And that's only going to happen if you continue to ask me after you drop off the bill. The ambience is good. It looks like a diner. It quacks like a diner. It's a diner. I felt right at home here with all that space and mix of booths, tables, and counter space. I'm definitely planning my trip back here for that superb Build-a-Skillet and that fantastic attention to keeping the coffee overflowing in my mug.
