Chorizo skillet
Amanda N.

We loved being able to get in line on Yelp app without being at the restaurant. That saved our wait time! Remember to check in at the host stand once you arrive. These are the greatest pancakes on earth. I also loved the skillet and felt like it was a ton of food. Service was good and it's a nice restaurant with good service.

Staple American breakfast items! Simple and perfectly executed. Thick cut crispy/chewy bacon, over easy eggs, hash browns, scrambled eggs, pancakes. The **Banana Foster French Toast** was the standout! 12/10. Subtly sweet with a delicious banana sauce. Do not be adventurous and get the Greek Omelette. There is a quarter pound of feta cheese in there and it is so overwhelming lol. The omelette is super fluffy, which was not actually a good thing, it had a weird cake texture with crisp edges which I did not enjoy. Made fun of my sister for ordering that omelette during our entire breakfast haha. Our server was casual and sweet and gave us a coffee refill togo! I also loved that she asked if I wanted hot sauce because I definitely did and almost forgot. Very nice location, spacious and well decorated. Very clean.

We happened to be in Sandy this morning and discovered this restaurant in Sandy. We had been to the location in Lehi many times, and enjoyed it immensely, so we assumed that the Sandy restaurant would be equivalent to Lehi's. I really want to give the restaurant a good review but I just can't today. Don't get me wrong, the food was fantastic as usual, but the service, not even passable for poor. We waited an inordinate amount of time for the meals to begin with. Then as the meals were delivered, my wife requested ketchup. The waitress told us she would be right back with it. I am sorry to say that the food was cold by the time the ketchup arrived. The soda nor the water were refilled at all. The cups that were used are small to begin with. We didn't see our server after the ketchup delivery until we flagged her down for our check. The ambiance was great, as expected. I hate to leave a bad review because we love the food. I will never go to the Sandy location again.

The Original Pancake House is an extremely popular place. If you're visiting on a weekend, plan on waiting quite a while. Their omelette tastes really good and is a really big portion size. I thought their pancakes were OK. The syrup has a maple syrup taste which I'm not a fan of. There is a yelp waitlist. Their menu is fairly large with quite a few gluten-free options.

Always a good time at the pancake house. I wish they had more large/mixture plates, but still love the pancakes. My daughter loved her chocolate chip smiley face pancakes. I got scrambled eggs, sausage links and pancakes. My husband got the largest plate they offer. Our waiter was nice even though we stayed until they closed.

California Eggs Benedict

I love breakfast. It's my favorite meal of the day. This place is the real deal. Pancakes are so light and fluffy with just a hint of tang that goes oh so well with their syrup. There are loads of ways you can order pancakes here (plus waffles and French toast) but we opted for the classic this visit. Egg dishes are plentiful too. Any way you could want an egg, they can do it. Our choices today were the classic eggs Benedict and a western omelette. Both were fantastic and came with a side of hash browns. Yummy! Our server was so nice and helpful with the menu. It was our first visit here so we had questions. She was attentive but left us alone enough to enjoy our meal. The restaurant was busy on our visit but we were able to get seated fast. Yes - we used the Yelp waitlist option There is an outdoor patio and ample seating inside. Both tables and booths abound with lots of cute decor items that go well with their vibe. We will go back. Soon.

I've heard of a magical place called Waffle House. They're open 24 hours, the menu is cheap, but…read morethe food is great! I understood their locations only exist closer to the east half of the country, and was quite sad to know it'll likely be a very long time before I'll ever get the experience. Well that *was* until my good friend recommended the local diner Belgian Waffle & Omelet Inn which actually achieves everything I could ever want from a Waffle House! The food is actually amazing, and clearly made with love! I got their garlic burger which was just incredible, served with a generous portion of delicious fries! and my friend got huge stack of pancakes topped with ice cream and fresh fruit that I tried a little of and also adored! We also both had their raspberry lemonade, and I got an extra side of sausages. It was all so amazing. and even tho I saw the pricing on the menu, I was honestly expecting to spend about double what I actually paid (I seem to have generous rounded up too much in my head). I was frankly shocked the final bill was only $26! I felt like I was robbing them! I made sure to leave a large tip. The place was very clean and has a nice cozy atmosphere, and the staff were all so kind! I even received a compliment from one of the staff who's a Studio Ghibli fan and loved my soot sprite pin. I could go on and on about how this is easily one of my new favorite restaurants I'll be going to any time I get the munchies and want some comfort food, or whenever I'm really hungover and just need a quiet, gentle atmosphere where I can feel like a character in Twin Peaks. (My enthusiasm for this place is on par with Agent Dale Cooper.) I seriously can't recommend all of this enough. I'm shocked it exists, and frankly feel a sense of guile in knowing it's too good for Salt Lake City. I'm not religious, but I've now found heaven.

The chicken-fried steak and eggs was excellent. The gravy added the perfect flavor. I had the cornbread hash and eggs which was accompanied by a mound of potatoes.

The Magic Touch Is Still Very Much Alive It had been a while…read moresince my last visit, and coming back to Penny Ann's Cafe in Draper was a genuinely pleasant surprise. Five locations and they have not lost a step. The menu is simple and does not need to be anything else. Plenty of omelette options, solid sides, and the star of the show: the Heavenly Hot Cakes. The name is not marketing fluff, it earns every word. Light, airy, and unlike any pancake you will find at a generic breakfast chain. Their secret, sour cream folded into the batter. Whatever they are doing, it works! We ordered a single stack, two Heavenly Hot Cakes, and paired it with a side of strawberries and Nutella, scrambled eggs, and home fried potatoes. The bacon came out crispy to perfection, exactly as requested, no more no less. The strawberries and Nutella alongside the pancakes was an indulgent combination that I have zero regrets about. Portions are generous and the prices are more than fair for what you get. Staff was friendly and the place fills up fast on weekends, so join the waitlist before you leave home. Do not show up and hope for the best. Five stars. A Utah breakfast institution that continues to earn it.

So I think in talking to most of my friends I got a good view on the food, and presentation. I had a starter of Totchos, and the Beef Dipper for my entrée. Both were excellent, I shared my Totchos. These are tater tot nachos, they were excellent, normally I don't like cheese sauce on Nachos, but given the consistency and flavor of this sauce (house made, I'm guessing. Not canned) They were excellent. The Beef Dipper and Au Jus, also top notch! Generally in a French dip, there is a lot of fatty pieces, this was not that. Also at my table was the Chile Verde bowl, this one has a kick... but my friend having it really enjoyed it. The fish and chips was great, smelled fresh. Lets talk about the sides. Choice of Fries (appeared to be battered fries, always a favorite of mine.) Tots, or house made potato chips. I had the Potato Chips with mine, these were excellent, crisp and tender on the inside. The Athena (Lamb Burger) got rave reviews from one at the table The Service: Because we were in a large group they advised us they were going to be taking our orders as we came in so not to overwhelm the kitchen staff. Excellent communication throughout service given that we were a large group. I talked to one of the Owners, Laurie, I could tell she had a huge sense of pride in the place. Very friendly! The Restaurant: Great atmosphere, Fun artwork, best of all, VERY Clean, nothing sticky or no grease buildup on any surface. The glass ware on the wall behind the bar as all polished. In the bar area they stack their silver, tableware, condiments etc. in a cute little cozy box on the table, with the main dining area setup as a diner with the traditional paper napkin and silverware. For a diner motif to have shined silver and glassware is a nice touch! Summary: Eat here! The prices are reasonable, the food is excellent, when I looked at the menu online I was a little put off by no actual entrée's on the dinner menu, however the in house experience made up for that, it's a pub food vibe and they are doing it well!

I promise you won't get in trouble!" Uh-huh. ;) Alright, I digress. Awkwardness aside, Prohibition is a really great place to enjoy a classy dinner, where the meat is served on a place AND on stage, and the cheesecake comes with the price of admission! Speaking of admission, as my wife and I were guests, being shepherded along by our friend, I cannot recall exactly what the "cover charge" was (not much, if I remember correctly...less than $20 for two?), and if reservations are *required*, I cannot say for certain, but I would say they are *recommended* at the very least, because our showtime was packed. Anyway, once paid, you are escorted through a secret bookcase door (SLC residents sure do love their speakeasies, don't they?), and into the dining hall and saloon, where you're soon to have your socks knocked off...well, someone's clothes are coming off, anyway! We were given a table that I dismissively thought was tucked away pretty far in the back and out of the way, but it ended up being one of the best seats in the house, as the table where the performers gathered, prepped, and returned to was just adjacent to us, so we were about as up close and personal as you can get, without getting yourselves arrested. Each of the dancers brought their own style, flair, and wardrobe to their performances, which were spirited and energetic, and a touch racy, without devolving into outright debauchery. It may be an (18+? 21+?) venue, but alcohol restrictions aside, I wouldn't hesitate to take older, more mature teens to a show with similar content. We ordered a smattering of smaller dishes, as we weren't particularly hungry, but the Mishima Wagyu tacos were fantastic (as you would expect), as was the Fedora Fin (Za'atar-crusted ahi tuna), and all of our cocktails. As the show is timed event with multiple performances per night, both food and bev are fired out of the kitchen/bar faster than the bullets from a Tommy Gun, but with far better accuracy. The whole operation here was honestly very impressive, from start to finish. Coming from a progressive city like Portland, it's always struck me a little odd that places that, by reputation, strike you as more conservative end up having some of the best, most wild entertainment venues, that you only wish you had back home. Prohibition is one of these places that I would rather see in my downtown, instead of the litany of seedy strip joints pushing for maximum titilation, but with only a fraction of the class and sophistication. Prohibition is good, clean fun, masquerading as something illicit, which is the heart of what makes it work so well.
