output: Upon arrival on this lightly crisp Friday morning, my son and i anticipated great things on our first visit to Pancake Cafe since they had left the University Ave location.(our prior visits there were exquisite) Not too heavily trafficked at 8 30 am, the seating was quick, and our server cheery. We received coffee in a hot carafe at our table before our seats even had the chance to get warm. After a short minute, Monica ( our server) reappeared and we requested a minute or two to scan the vast selections ranging from sweet to savory. I was quite excited, scanning thru selections and decided what my taste buds were longing for. I chose the Oven Baked Omelet with Spinach and Feta (which comes with a seriously putrid mushroom "sauce" on the side),Rye toast, and a side of their famous smoked Bacon. My son chose the Eggs Benedict. We also had a accompaniment of 3 buttermilk Pancakes. HERE IS WHERE IS GETS SCARY The wait for our breakfast was a tad longer then anticipated (approx 20 mins), but not to the point of frustration. After Monica brought our meals to us, we were excited to dive in, based solely on our past experiences with Pancake Cafe. On my first glance at my plate i had noticed my Omelet was dark and dry, and sadly was. The 3 strips of Bacon (4.95) was cold. Another sadness set in. The Rye Toast had a BURNT EDGE, not dark but Burnt and was surprised this was bypassed and served anyway. This toast was like two dried pieces of cement chiseled off of a highway median. Sadly the rest of the meal digressed just as rapidly as the first impressions. The side of Pancakes reeked and tasted of the griddle oil the hash browns were fried upon, and the "WHIPPED BUTTER" possessed that "old" taste which accompanies dairy goods left too long exposed. THIS IS THE REAL KICKER My son's Eggs Benedict were a laughable excuse for authentic and poorly executed. Before he even cut into the Poached Egg, sitting upon his Ham Slice and Soggy Muffin, we noticed that the bright yellow, obvious packet made Hollandaise was coagulated and stiff. I was Shocked. But then even after THAT first impression, he cut into this traditional breakfast entree, expecting that gorgeous flow from the golden yolk. BUT alas that moment never happened. The yolks were hard cooked. This was just too laughable at this point.( We will post photos of this exact meal soon.) So all in all, service was okay ..food was a HUGE disappointment!! Bad Coffee....and horrible sweet syrup. For a Pancake Place, you would think they would have real Maple Syrup. So So Sad. We were very disappointed. If you are searching for quality food for a great breakfast , I would highly rethink before you decide.

output: Okay, I'm a firm believer in three strikes you're out. I gave it two tries, but I couldn't even stomach a third time at this place. God!!!! I sooooooo wanted to love this little quirky place that reminded me of the beach stands in the few remaining un-yuppified beach towns in California. Well, the atmosphere is there, right down to the funny guys that work the place. Food is pretty much like music for me, I like all music and I like all food. I can pretty much find something good in every meal....but not so today. I take that back...the salsa verde was some of the best I have had. First try there....wet soggy flavorless fish tacos. This weekend, I sent my hubby down for a couple of burritos (recommended by yelp reviewers actually), I knew it was a gamble, and I wanted to be able to give a good review, so I picked something everyone said was consistently good. The green beef burrito. Hubby had a hot dog of some sort. Little had a bean, cheese and rice burrito. We were 0 for 0. My burrito....so cold the cheese didn't melt, so big it couldn't even fold and so wet the tortilla melted. I don't know if it was so disturbing to eat that I couldn't taste it, or if it just had none. My husband's hot dog grossed me out just at presentation. He started to make something else and I said, well at least try it, he did and he had to choke it down. Little has NEVER turned down a bean and cheese but she took one bite and never looked back. I want places like this to stick around so bad I'm tempted to print out these reviews and mail them to them. I'm on a bad review streak. Gotsta find some good eats soon, maybe Golden Buddah for lunch will turn me around!
