Pancakes R Us — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

Stopped by the cafe today to pick up a customer's order. The waiter serving the table shouted loudly at me, "Do you need to pick up the order"? And laughed along with the people at the tables. Just so he knows, I am a migrant from Russia, and I now have a part-time job in the form of delivery! I have a higher education, in Russia I worked as an accountant, and here I have two jobs, but he was laughing and reveling in the fact that I work as a delivery girl. I have an education, and he?) he is a grandfather and works as a waiter! It's such a collective farm to humiliate young girls like that! Shame on you and your restaurant! I will not come to pick up my order for any more money! And your pancakes suck, I tried them! Such pancakes in our country would go in the trash! Just so you know!

I would like to mention they have a a decent sized menu complete with a few...

I drive by this place every day, and on thanksgiving day(they were open), my wife and I tried it. We were seated after a brief wait, which to me is a good thing. Reading over the menu all I wanted was pancakes. Our waiter was pushy, but polite. After placing our order., we waited about 20 mins for pancakes. I never read one review from this place, so I was open minded. Figured the name itself was made famous for their pancakes. Dennys makes better pancakes. Not impressed at all, a sad let down. Small sized and no flavor.. and didn't melt the butter as they came out warm, not hot off the grill. Not to forget, a pinch over priced., I looked around at tables where customers just left, and a lot of food wasted. If you want better pancakes, on 17th st.. The Plum cafe or Haute Cakes.. and...
