I paid 23 dollars for a kids meal. This is literally what I’ve received at dennys for a kids meal for my brother before. The server only came to me 2 times. One to take my order, and two when I tried calling her to see if I can get a pancake and she said no only 3 in an order which is understandable but the attitude was not it. No one came to ask if I needed anything and she dropped off the check when I got my food and asked for the pancake. The food was not good, the service was terrible and idk, I just never experienced a bad time at a breakfast place. It also didn’t help that They were very attentive to others who were white and I was the only hispanic at the moment by myself. It’s just something that really stood out to me. I give it a 2 because I had came a long time ago and I remember it being good but this time it was just not it.

Another “not my first time here, but first Google Review” for this place! Don’t recall the menu having a ton of specialty items but always great to see and try! Definitely recommend their Avocado Toast which is different from the rest – homemade toast, avocado mix, and fresh greens. Not pictured here, but their Tibetan Coffee is quite tasty, as well as their Chicken Quesadilla. Will be back for sure. The Manager was friendly and even stopped by during our meal to check-in on us and to see how I liked the Avocado Toast.

Such a lovely breakfast place. Waffles are great and apple pancake is amazing! Staff is very friendly and quick. The only thing is it can be kind of busy on certain days, so I make a reservation.

At this point, I have been to almost every Original Pancake House in Illinois, and this experience was just…BLAH. I would recommend that you walk, but don’t run to it. The omellete wasn’t anything special, and since I am gluten-free, I ordered the GF pancakes, which were NOT the greatest I have ever had. They were unusually small and misshapen, and the only flavor they had was the added cinnamon to cover up the taste of cardboard. The most commendable part of the breakfast was the hot chocolate and the roasted potatoes, which, in my opinion, were seasoned to perfection and, most importantly, not greasy.

The restaurant has a steady stream of customers. We had to wait a bit until we were led to a booth for the two of us.

I wish I had listened to the negative reviews because they’re all true. The host wanted to wedge a stroller and a highchair on the small end of a booth because the highchair that only sticks out 1foot will block a 8ft wide aisle.

Food and atmosphere is really good but the service was sub par. Our waitress forgot to bring us things we asked for so we had to flag someone down for it. Then the manager was trying to make us burgers as we were paying.
