The 2 or 3 times I have been to Penny Ann's Cafe in Taylorsville, the wait time has been moderately annoying. Today I decided to get up early and try it out.

My review of the "Heavenly Hotcakes" is below if you're not interested in the rest of the dining "experience"

We arrived at 7:02am and were seated almost immediately... great start. Our server came to take our drink order within a few minutes... good. When our coffee came out it was in good sized (12oz) but chipped (not sharp, just a little shabby) mugs. I found out the hard way that the creamers were all sticky. Off to the men's room for the hand washing! The bathroom floor was as sticky as the floors of a "cheap" movie theater. I stuck to the floor all the way back to my table. No harm done since sticky floors ultimately have no bearing on the taste of the food. When the food arrived 15 to 20 minutes later it was hot and our orders were correct. Somewhere between ordering my omelet and delivery of said omelet, I decided I wanted a side of bacon. The server had no problem adding it to my order and surprisingly brought me an order of bacon within a minute! Unfortunately, it was cold... don't get me wrong... it was still bacon but it was room temperature when it reached the table. The quality of my meal was serviceable but ultimately disappointing. The omelet was correct and had all of the advertised ingredients. There was even plenty of filling but it was not distributed very well throughout and the eggs lacked flavor. The bacon, as I said, was cold but it was also inconsistent. Some was cooked fine but some was literally burnt... and that was all in one slice! The "Country potatoes" were cooked well and weren't greasy but also lacked any sort of spices or flavor. Now to the main event:

The "Heavenly Hotcakes" TLDR: Meh. The "Heavenly Hotcakes" were a severe letdown for all the hype. The flavor was fine. They were neither undercooked and doughy nor were they overcooked and rubbery. They were, however, a terrible texture. Like a cross between tapioca and kitchen sponge. It was VERY reminiscent of vegan cakes I had in the 90s... before most vegans knew what they were doing.

In summation. It was fine, edible, not the best or worst I've ever had but if you're waiting for more than 20 minutes for a table... you may as well go elsewhere.
