Hit and miss depending on what you order.  The pancakes are the best in town, and the eggs benedict a friend ordered looked yummy.  But the Chipped Beef on biscuits was a huge disappointment.  It was basically white gravy with a few  tiny little flecks of meat in it and little seasoning.  I brought a guest here who specifically wanted to order that and he was vastly disappointed.  I would have been too.
Service was quick and friendly but the decor, neon chinese buffet, did not create a very cozy environment. Â Pancakes aside, we won't be back.
Horrible food, horrible service. The server was sweet and shy and soft spoken but she didn't know squat. Ordered an Eggs Benedict Florentine that came out with no bacon and hollandaise that was either old or with too much lemon juice. Subbed hash browns with home fries and she brought hash browns still and kept arguing that those were infact home fries. Also ordered chipped beef and biscuits and the beef was hard to find. Plain white gravy covered the whole plate, no seasoning whatsoever. The worst part was that no one cared to ask what we thought of the food.. Overall a pretty bad experience, wouldn't go back to this place.
Review Source:Now this is breakfast! I've been to Emmy's several times and whether alone or with a large group, the service was outstanding.
The prices are fair (lower than those of the big chain pancake place) and the selection is awesome! I love the omelet and egg skillet breakfasts here. The coffee is hot and they keep your cup full. You won't go away hungry at this place.
Oh, two things of note: The decor needs and upgrade, it is true. It is very apparent they just moved right in to a space that was previously a Chinese Buffet. But on a happier note, the kids will love the character pancakes.
Unfortunately, I did not have the stellar experience that others have written about. I went in on a week day, around 10am, craving pancakes. I had heard really good things about this place. I had hoped to add a new breakfast place to my list of go-to's. No such luck.
I was seated right away and approached by my server quickly. I ordered coffee and asked if they had skim milk. She said they did and ran off to start my order. She returned with the news that they only had 2%. So be it.
I ordered the multi grain pancakes with sugar free syrup and 2 scrambled eggs. Â As my order was being prepared I noticed that the sleeve of my sweatshirt was stuck to the table. Downhill...from there.
My food arrived with apologies. The server said that out of habit she had sprinkled powder sugar all over my pancakes. (I requested sugar free syrup...powdered sugar kind of defeats the purpose of the request)...I didn't really want to wait any longer so went ahead and tried them. Three bites into it, I decided I was done. The eggs were good, no complaints with them.
I don't know if it was the dirty table or the careless server...probably a combination of the two...I was just turned off by the experience.
You pay at the front. I was asked how everything was. I did tell her that the meal was okay, but that the experience was not what I had hoped for. She took the pancakes off of my bill. That consideration helped, but I don't plan to go back.
I've been here twice with my parents for breakfast and I believe this is one of the BEST breakfast places in Indy!
The omeletes are FANTASTIC!! Very fluffy. I have gotten the Greek omelete twice. Each omelete comes with two pancakes and hash browns. The pancakes are very fluffy and have kind of a malt taste to them. This is enough to split with someone else. A Â LOT OF FooD! With my parents we only got two omeletes and it filled us.
The prices are low. The service has been great. Love this place!! Highly recommend.
Where did this place come from?
We walked in about 9:00 AM on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was bustling, but not crowded. Â Our waitress was there with coffee and taking other drink orders.
The menu has lots of inviting options. Â I opted for the Mexican Omelet, which came with 2 pancakes and hash browns or home fries. Â The omelet was huge and delicious! Â The home fries were very good with crispy edges and fluffy insides. Â The pancakes are thick and sweet. Â They have a hit of cake batter taste to them, which was just amazingly delicious. Â
The hubs ordered corned beef hash, which also came with a potato and bread option. Â His hash browns were delicious and he really enjoyed the sour dough toast. Â He added a couple slices of French Toast, which he said was very good. Â The slices were nice and thick. Â The corned beef hash, though - OH MAH GAH was that good. Â
The coffee was hot and kept flowing. Â The service was warm. Â The restaurant is clean and comfortable.
Can't wait to visit for lunch or dinner.
Great food and fast service!
My wife and I have been here a couple times now. Twice just the two of us and then another time with family in town. The line to get in is long during busy hours but it's never a long wait to be seated. Once seated, the wait staff is right there to get your drink orders. No sooner do you get into conversation, your food order comes right out. No matter how busy they are, we have never felt forgotten. That's very important to us when going out to eat.
For good, fast food with a small wait to get seated during busy times, this is a worth while stop for some good breakfast food.
