OG pancake House lives up to its name. If you haven't ever tried a Dutch Baby before I highly recommend trying it at least once in your life. It is what I can describe as a light and lemony souffle pancake. A little slice of citrus sweetness in every bite. It's definitely family size, so I would recommend sharing it and putting the butter, fresh squeeze of lemon juice and powdered sugar. Melts in your mouth... chefs kiss! 🍋

OMG the omelets are huge and amazing, they are seasoned thru out and you can taste all the ingredients, This is the western omelette(I absolutely promise that this is a top-tier 100 A+ + omelette) with three cheeses. The pancakes were really good buttermilk pancakes the syrup was served warm. Very very very good

We love the food and the kids love to sit by the window and watch the horses 🐎 in the front ranch property…the veggie omelette is our favorite with crispy bacon 🥓 and banana pancakes 🥞 with coffee ☕️ caring staff too. Thank you 🙏🏼

This is one of my favorite spots for breakfast and brunch. Everything is always delicious and enjoyable. The coffee is great, and refills are free, which is a nice touch. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and I really enjoy it here. The service is quick, so you don’t have to wait long for your meals, and the portions are generous—often enough for two.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 W Perry · Aug 2025

First visit, open 6a to 2p. I had the Pigs in Blanket, very good sausage, but pancake was just OK, which is surprising because it’s a “pancake house” ! I also thought the way it was served, in a bowl, was not very good either. Coffee was good, but expensive ($4.39/cup). Service was good. Won’t be hurrying back anytime soon.
