I went to "The Pancake House" for a late breakfast, early lunch this morning. Â I wanted their biggest selling item, so I asked the Mexican waiter what it was. Â He didn't understand. Â
"What breakfast item do you sell the most often?" I then asked. Â
"All of them," was his reply.
"No. No. Â What do you sell the most of?" Â
Again, "All of them," was his reply.
I could see I was getting no where fast, so I ordered coffee and the "Farmer's Special" which the menu said had 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 slices of famous French toast and 2 slices of bacon, for $7. Â
"What's "famous" about your French Toast?" I inquired.
"Oh yeah, it's famous." he said as he walked away.
My cup of coffee came, it was average, better than Erika's which I had earlier.
My breakfast/lunch came, it was beautiful. Â Eggs basted perfectly! Â (Which is unusual in Central Indiana.) Â I got two sausages that looked like small bratwurst (never saw such a thing for breakfast. Â They were warm, at best, and tasteless. Â The bacon was like "unseasoned," it wasn't smoked, or maple or anything. Â The famous French Toast was just French Toast. Â I wasn't given any utensils nor a napkin with my meal, and I was nearly finished with it before my waiter came by and asked how things were. Â (I told him about the slightly warm sausages.)
As I looked around, and saw staff come and go from the kitchen, I realized it is a "Mexican" restaurant -- everyone working there was Mexican. Â Nothing wrong with that, we need another good Mexican restaurant in Westfield! Â So, why don't they stop with the mediocre American breakfast and do excellent Mexican food?
My suggestion is BACK to MARLOW'S for a good, all American breakfast.
BTW this breakfast was $9.27 (a bit pricy for breakfast.)
