Disco Pancake — Restaurant in Chicago

This was my first visit to the new restaurant and the host and staff were awesome. I ordered an omelette. The omelette size was smaller than I’m accustomed to but it’s all good.

The hash browns with it was different in the hash brown was in a waffle shape in which I was surprised it was not the traditional style hash browns. I asked the guy expediter for the food on the kitchen area if I could have the potato's style instead and he said yes no problem. And I asked the young lady server if I could have 2 pancakes instead of toast and she says sure, she can upgrade it to pancakes. After I finished my mea. I asked the server in which was a young lady for the check and I would like to say her service was awesome. When I looked at my bill I couldn’t believe what I seen.

You will have to pay for the ingredients (Smile) $11.00 Omelet (The Egg Only) $2.00 cheese $2.00 peppers $2.00 spinach $2.00 mushrooms $2.00 pancakes (1) $2.00 pancakes (1)

I asked the young lady server, does this mean the omelette the egg only for $11.00 and I pay extra for the Ingredients and she said yes. I said wow!

All and all the omelette was pretty much $18 without tax. And just the egg only it will cost $11 without the ingredients.

For example: So if I order a cheeseburger with onions in which means they will charge you $2.00 for the cheese and $2.00 for the onions. (lol)

I was there with my daughter and which she ordered the chicken and waffle. The chicken was very dry. As you can see from the kitchen area the chicken is already precooked and just sitting out in a warmer pan under a heater. This could explain the dryness of the chicken. (Smile)

I work as a AGM in the industry I feel the food quality was not up to par even though the service was great.

I do love the vibe and disco music in the restaurant.

But please bring back HASH-BROWN CAFE!!

Have an...

I live across the street and have always wanted to try this place but was hesitant due to the reviews. I thought just getting takeout would be fine to simply try the food but even that was an experience.

I ordered through GrubHub on a Friday morning and walked to pick it up 25 minutes later (when my order was supposed to be finished) only to find that my order wasn’t even started. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all with just three other tables of people. Wasn’t happy I had to wait longer but at least my food will be fresh. A kind older gentleman (I assume the owner?) offered me coffee while I waited and I was thankful for the gesture. I ordered the low carb egg burrito with regular hashbrowns.

A bearded gentleman who I assume is a server walk up and asked if I wanted cheese. I was just a little confused and said I thought it already came with cheese (the menu clearly says it does). He then said “It comes with cheese but you never said what KIND of cheese.” with a very condescending tone. The menu does not indicate cheese options so how would I or anyone else have known? I wanted to ask what options they had but he already seemed irritated at my existence so I just said cheddar to make him go away. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant and couldn’t wait to get out of there.

I got my order and went back home. The burrito was like they made a folded omelette with cheddar and wrapped it in a tortilla. Not a bad thing, just different. It tasted okay but I could tell the eggs had no seasoning whatsoever. The salsa helped it. The hashbrowns were hot and crisp but were very bland. I understand letting people add their own salt and pepper but at least have some herbs or something.

I was really hoping I liked this place since it’s so close but I don’t think...

Food is alright, but service needs help. I cannot fairly judge the food here as I did not get the famous hashbrowns. I got a waffle, however I have definitely tasted better waffles. The waffle I got was pretty bland. This is probably why they give you some homemade cherry and vanilla sauces, and obligate maple syrup. The cherry sauce was a little tart and only had an essence of cherry. Honestly, I would have preferred that fake mass manufactured cherry flavored sauce instead. The vanilla sauce tasted like it had 0% vanilla in it. At home, I purchase 100% vanilla extract and known how expensive, yet how good it tastes. Maybe the one I got was too watered down but I got ZERO Vanilla flavor from it. To this end, the food was BETTER than the service. We got some teenager guy who clearly showed her did not want to be there. While he greeted us when we sat down, her spoke in a very low (almost whispering) monotone voice without a smile. "Hi," came the words from his mouth, as he gave us the menus. No specials of the day, no welcome or how is your day going.. Nothing. We ordered and got our food, which was rather quick as there was only one other table of two (it was 9AM). When he brought it the meal, he said in a very quiet voice, "butter is in the tray," and left. I only got water and was never asked for a refill nor how the food was, nor if I wanted something else. At bill time, the waiter just handed me my card back and barely got an under his breath "thank you." I would suggest adding a little spices or something to the waffles, and either better train or get people who actually want to work there and are not like Eeyore (donkey from...
