Uncle Ernie's Pancake House — Restaurant in Kalamazoo

An awesome Ma & Pa breakfast joint.

On a recent trip from Florida to Michigan to visit family and friends my family and I decided to take a trip to the Air-zoo museum. But since the museum didn't open until noon on Sunday we were trying to find a place to meet with friends and have breakfast before we went. Everybody we talked to recommended Ann's House. But it was an incredibly long wait and we only had a few hours before the Air-zoo. My wife found this place and I'm so glad she did; it's literally right down the road from the air-zoo and I would definitely come back to this place again the breakfast was awesome. It's located in a small little shopping center about a 1/4 north of the I-96 and 1.5 miles from the airport. Upon walking in it looks kind of looks more like a senior citizens breakfast joint it wasn't the nicest, more older and dated. It reminded me a lot of the several waffle houses from down south. It may not look nice but the food is always awesome! We waited for a few minutes for the servers to get our table ready and we're properly seated the coffee was good and my daughter had the pancakes. I did not have any and opted for a loaded omelette instead. The omelette was awesome. I guess this place is known for their corn beef hash so I decided to try the homemade hash versus what you can buy from the can in the store the homemade hash was very good I would get it again. We came here at about 10:30 in the morning on Sunday. In this place gets packed very quickly after church lets out. My only complaint about the place was it was incredibly hot inside perhaps the AC was broken when we were there. I'm surprised they didn't open a window to let the fresh air in but it wasn't very enjoyable eating a hot breakfast while I sweated in the eating area.

**Overall, this trip was about family and the memories we made along the way to the Air-Zoo it was a lot of fun that day. I'm super glad we stopped at Uncle Ernie's to start our day out right, we will definitely stop again in the...

I have been going here for about 6 years I always get the fresh corned beef hash and eggs. It’s absolutely delicious it’s not from the can. Today I got home with my regular to go and for my friend. It did not have onions or seasoning just by looking at it I knew it wasn’t right. First time I wasn’t satisfied with the order. I took the food and called them they apologized and said they’d have a new order for me when I got there. I was really impressed with the cooks customer service. He apologized again and made sure I knew that they were about having happy customers. He even said I could take the old food if i wanted because they were just going to throw it away. He didn’t hassle me or make me feel like I was the one that messed up he handled the situation perfect. If he didn’t I wouldn’t of been back. I used to work In food service for years In the kitchen and even as waitress. I know what good service is supposed to be behind the kitchen and in the front. I just looked at the bad reviews for this place. In uncle Ernie’s defense if you have a problem with your food and aren’t satisfied don’t be passive and just write a bad review. If you tell them your arnt satisfied…unlike like some resturants uncle Ernie’s will...

Back around 2019 my wife and I ate here with our son and her mom and husband. My wife ordered an omlete without sausage cause at the time she was having issues eating greasy foods and what was in this omlete was better than the veggie one. So when she got her omlete she opened it up and seen 3 pieces of sausage. she called the waitress over and said there was sausage in her omlete. The waitress proceeded to go get the cook, who happened to be the owner and he came out. He told my wife there was no sausage in the omlete, he made it himself. My wife proceeded to tell yes there is. he called her a liar. my wife got pissed and threw her glass of water across the restaurant almost at the owner. He proceeded to put his hands on my wife and grabbed her and started shoving her out the door. Never put your hands on a woman. He left bruises on my wife. when the police arrived they never did anything to the owner or charge him with assaulting my wife. I highly suggest people take their business elsewhere especially when a man who owns a restaurant puts his...
