VIPS Restaurant & Pancake House

You'll be created perfunctorily and led to a table or booth in this older, primarily Greek inspired diner.  The wait staff is friendly and helpful.  VIPS does a great job with their dutch oven pancake, breakfast skillets (love the Greek skillet), and offers daily lunch and dinner specials, which are good values, in addition to their long menu.  Coffee is good; beer and wine available.

My mom and her friend eat here ALL THE TIME, and since I join them once in a while, I thought I'd review.  They have daily specials and a pretty extensive menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items.  Mostly classic American with some Greek and Mexican options.  

I have only been there for dinner--maybe once for lunch.  You get the bread and cracker basket, soup and/or salad and dessert.  Plenty of food and it's always been tasty.  

There seem to be a lot of regulars here, including quite a few grey hairs (my mom being one of them), there is still a mix of people from all ages.  It's family-owned and operated.  They seem to know the regulars by name and ask how they have been, etc.  

My five stars is based on consistency, service and patience.  I tease my mom about being a picky eater--she always has changes to her order and they always accommodate her.  It's a very nice change to the chain restaurants in the area.
