  The only thing I positive that I can say is that my server was nice. The other reviews are pretty much on point. Also, the food was cold.

  I had a pretty average experience across the board. Breakfast foods are pretty standard and hard to screw up and nothing was bad but nothing was extraordinary. I try to get the biscuits and sausage gravy at breakfast places because there is a little more skill involved with the gravy and biscuits. I was surprised to find that the sausage came as four links on my plate rather than incorporated into the gravy. It was a lot of food for around $10 so I did not leave hungry, but I don't think it is somewhere I will crave.

  $26 for crappy cold food.  Had the blue berry pancakes with no blueberry topping just blueberries in the pancakes.   They evidently forgot and scraped the topping off and turned the pancake over!  Chewy bacon, cold potatoes and runny scrambled eggs...to add cheese to your eggs are an additional $1...I am pretty sure I have had a better breakfast at a gas station :(

  The Breakfast Police strike again! Sorry, no warning this time, you get a full blown ticket for...
  - High Prices and LOW Quality
  - Lame Service
  - Run Down Atmosphere
  - Missing Maple Syrup
  - Flimsy  Bacon
  
  Recommendation: Don't go here.  But if someone in your family or friend crew requires your attendance then do the following... Order a side order of the pancake flavor of your choice (you'll save some dough versus the $8.99 craziness) and a cup of coffee. If you must order meat for a side because you're a carnivore like me pick the sausage links cuz the bacon is a lie.  
  
  Looking for more detail??
  
  1. High Prices Low Quality: Seriously the cheapest meal is $6.99? I'm not a frugal Franny, and have no problem paying for a great meal.  But this was pathetic quality on all accounts. 2 eggs, toast, hashbrowns and bacon I can find better quality for less money any place else in town. Almost everything is $8.99! For that price I'll go to Wildberries and get something awesome!
  
  2. Lame Service: I'm pretty sure everyone hates their job. And I agree with the other reviewer.  One guy must be on drugs because he's so hopped up it gets real awkward real fast. Oh and if you're waiting for a table in this tiny overcrowded establishment you get a number on a post it note. Be personable, learn my name.
  
  3. Run Down Atmosphere: Corporate IHOP would be ashamed. I love a good dive... but this isn't supposed to be a dive. It's a franchise. Get your act together people and clean your ladies bathroom!
  
  4. Maple is Missing: Yeah you've got syrup options but they are more like toppings for a kids sundae than for pancakes. In that myriad of choices you couldn't add REAL maple syrup? Come on.
  
  5. Bacon Bites: I LOVE bacon. This is not bacon. Flimsy, rubbery downer.
  
  I would have hauled them off to Breakfast Jail, however they have two redeeming qualities that allow two stars at all:
  
  1. Coffee on the table. Since the service is so lame, this is a must have.
  
  2. A plethora of pancake choices.  As the "house" of pancakes this should be a no-brainer and should be on the first page, not buried in your menu. But the choice is still there.

  Nothing memorable about this place - OK food, OK service, OK prices (more than say Denny's). Went once and never wanted to go again. 3 stars for mediocrity.
