Longhorn Palace Pancake House

I had nearly forgotten to review this charming little breakfast nook!

Desperate to find a quick, suitable place for grub on the go (other than McDonald's), we stumbled upon Longhorn's, a hop, skip and jump away from our comfy Econo Lodge room.

With a rustic hole-in-the-wall feel, we were seated immediately and waited no more than a minute or two to be serviced by a friendly (but young??) waitress.  I winded up ordering my usual preference for pretty much every restaurant, consisting of pancakes, eggs, bacon, potatoes and sausage.  Food was hot, fresh and wicked fast and while there was nothing particularly outstanding, everything was tasty especially for the price.  (For two, everything came out to less than $14.)

It also doesn't hurt to mention how beautiful the forest view is from the upper level tables, especially the darling babbling brook.  Chomping down on pancakes and guzzling coffee, I half expected to see Bambi somewhere out there.

Overall it was certainly convenient with its close location, good chow and quick service.  ....However, the arcade games near the bathroom made for a time consuming detour.  I'd definitely stop by again.

Went on a busy Saturday morning. Pancakes were on par with IHOP (not a compliment) and the sausage was dark brown, shriveled and super salty. Service was good and they have tables with a stunning view of the river, but despite being on a first come, first serve basis, they seat locals ahead of tourists. Wasn't a big deal because the line moves fast, but with so many breakfast places to choose from in the area, you can do so much better.
