Pancake House — Restaurant in Maryland

This reminds me of a place that you come to get fed after a dope a sugah sugah night out.

You know when you have to feed the alcohol? Meh...you've never experienced this? Oh...just me...in the past, you know. I see.

Anywho, upon approach, can't say that I was impressed. But-seriously, the best food comes from places like this. From the outside, there is nothing special, once inside I get the same feeling, nothing special. Wooden booths, large card like tables, seat yourself. It looks like this place has a specific group that it caters too, and you can tell they come and chill out all day. You know like the war vets, your Uncles that you watched play Whist and Spades...I totally dug it.

I can't speak to what happens on the weekends, but I hear this place is uber packed!

The menu is plentiful, from lunch items like sandwiches, platters, and breakfast items like omelettes, pancakes, waffles etc. Breakfast is served until they close, and I swear the options are insane! They are accommodating, and will substitute items to please you.

I got the pancake breakfast which came with two pancakes, eggs, and a choice of meat. It also came with unlimited tea or coffee. Didn't want eggs on this date so I subbed hash browns (no charge, whoop!), and got scrapple. Y'all I missed me some scrapple. Seriously.

Anywho, the food came up pretty quick, the pancakes were huge, looked fluffy and just the way I like. That was on the FIRST plate, yes the two pancakes filled the ENTIRE plate. The second plate, had my hash browns, and TWO pieces of perfectly fried scrapple. Chile.

Now, everything was delicious, the pancakes were cooked to perfection, and were just as fluffy as they looked. They weren't crazy sweet, but didn't need hella syryup either. The potato was alright, but improved with the addition of some hot sauce and salt. The scrapple, was just how I remember, yummo. But then again, can one mess that up? Nah.

There is no way that a normal person could finish all that they give you. You can try though...I left happy and full to capacity.

Food...

This place is very unorganized. You walk in and you’re immediately in an eating area with people at tables. You have to seat yourself and there’s no sign that tells you that. There also isn’t a waiting area, so you’re just idling around while people around you are eating their meals. Since there’s no waiting area, you’re blocking the way of servers. There’s also large stains on the ceiling.

When you see a free table, you just go toward it and hope you get it, since there’s no system. I had to get my own menu from a stack in the kitchen area.

I ordered a tea and there was someone’s lipstick on my cup!!! My friend who ordered a coffee, found that there were food particles in his cup!

They didn’t have onions or turkey bacon, but the food came out in a decent amount of time. However, when the food came out it was bland and some of it was cold. My friend said biting into his pancake was like biting into a snowball. After eating some of my food my stomach started to hurt. The food was so bad my friend stopped eating.

The tables around me were also complaining about their food. Someone complained about the cheese not being melted, their silverware was dirty, and something about the bathrooms. One woman said that they need Gordon Ramsey to come in, to which someone else said that even he couldn’t save this place.

My waitress was rude and wasn’t really helpful. She was more interested in socializing with her coworkers and her smoke break than anything else.

Unfortunately I was so disgusted by the environment that I didn’t take pictures. I’m pretty sure if I tried, my camera would break.

Overall, coming here was a horrible decision and I would never come back nor would I recommend this restaurant to...

I'm not going to even start on the appearance of this establishment. This is one of those situations where it's okay to judge a book by its cover. I was skeptical from the beginning, based on its appearance, but my friend convinced me to go. My friend and I both ordered number 4s which include three eggs, bacon, and three pancakes. My friend substituted pancakes for French toast, a fairly simple order. After about 35 minutes we contacted the waiter asking about our order. She told us they put in the order but i guess there was an issue. They seemed to be under staffed and it was quite busy. I noticed no sense of eurgency from any of the waiters. We recieved our food about 10 minutes later after we contacted the waiter. The food was obviously sitting out for awhile. The bacon was chewy and cold and the pancakes were cold as well. We requested more bacon from the waiter and told her the bacon was cold. She came back with our bacon about 15 minutes later. I honestly feel like we would've been better off going to ihop or something. The food was well below satisfactory and it was late. I do not recommend anyone vist...
