    Even 1 star is way too much for a terrible experience. Waited half an hour for waiter, then told it's too late to order breakfast. After that everything just got worse and worse. Not even going to go into every detail. Suffice to say after 2 hours of almost non-existent service, we left. A little bit of saving grace is that we did not pay for the little that we were served. Decide for yourself if you are willing to do this to yourself. I would suggest not.

    All the negative reviews below are spot on - we should have consulted Google before we ordered. Three different meals and they were all tasteless, dry and the worst experience we have had at a restaurant. The stairs are falling apart. Will not recommend this restaurant to anyone - rather try the one next door or go to the Wimpy

    It was absolutely terrible. Service was slow and the food took forever to be delivered. By the time it came everything was ice cold. The kitchen doesnt seem to have stock of anything either.

    I ordered the Oreo waffles and it was extremely good, the waffle was so nice and fluffy. When we first got it, the ice cream used consisted of mainly ice but the waitress was friendly and immediately switched it out for a different one. The waitress didn't adhere to COVID regulations as she wasn't wearing a mask. Overall a satisfactory experience.

    Everything is out of stock. How is there no cinnamon In a pancake restaurant! Not even coffee or coke available. Three of us ordered, one arrived, the next 20min later and the next never arrived. Worst experience ever. Please do yourself a favour and stay away.

    Sorry to say we were very exited to go but after we have been there i doubt we will ever go again. 1 of the 3 drinks we received were good after they didnt have stock of our 1st and 2nd choices thats on the menu. Waffle had no taste. Food was decent that was the only + point for us. Think Management should step up and make sure the kitchen appliances are working and that there is stock of all the things they have on the menu. Good luck

    The Nutella pancake is a misnomer. It's filled with ice cream.and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Not a trace of Nutella. From previous reviews, this has been brought to their attention but they pretend it's the first they hear of this. Service is very slow. Avoid the coffee.

    Ordered Burgers, with some things added. 1st Burger arrived with mushrooms which should not have been added. Cheese sauce did not come with meal only after asking where it was and was watered down. 2nd Burger was correct, when picking up the burger solidified egg yellow were found on plate and burger. Meaning plate were not washed. The patty was ice cold and unseasoned. Ordered a banana caramel pancake. Ice cream were crystalized with only 6 pieces of banana in and "caramel sause" drizzeled over. Can't complain about service because there were no service. Complete opossite I had than 4 years ago when I would have left a 5 star. Would not recommend anyone to go.

    Pity they don't deserve that one star. Food was terrible. Chicken was so tough....I could not swallow it. Spinach and feta filling.....where was the feta....plain pancakes were so dry the edges were crispy. For your deserts and milk shakes use a descent ice cream not sorbet. Buy the time you get your pancakes it's all Melted...

  • 1/5 Karmani M. 11 months ago on Google
    I wish I read the reviews before coming here. Asked for a still water - they didn't have stock. Asked for a well done burger - patties were medium done, cold, unseasoned. Asked for extra crispy chips - I got underfried chips that were raw in the middle. My waiter said 'oh, it's the ladies in the kitchen' and left it at that.

    Very bad service, specially for a place that wasnt even busy. We waited atleast half an hour just for Coldrink and the one cappuccino took even longer. Unfortunately we had a terrible experience all together. Horrible waffles. We ordered extra sauce with our waffles, the sauce only arrived AFTER our waffles were already finished being eaten. The waffles were so cold and stale, could hardly cut it, it was terrible. These waffles were so unenjoyable that it has completely put me off of waffles,I will never order waffles again and will definitely never come back here again. So disappointing. We also asked for serviettes that never arrived. Even the bill took forever to arrive.

    Was ok, dead average. Food was fine, nothing exceptional. Nutella pancakes were certainly not Nutella. Just chocolate sauce. Also took forever to prepare 3 pancakes and a toasted sandwich.

  • 1/5 EVERLYN P. 1 year ago on Google
    Pathetic food and service. Drinks took 45 minutes and were disgusting. The cappuccinos tasted like water and milk , the tea looked fake with no colour or taste. Waffles weren’t fresh. Owner should rather close than as comments below seem to be following the same trend

  • 1/5 Willem “NightfuryEX” van A. 1 year ago on Google
    If frozen waffles and tasteless pancakes are your thing, then this place is for you. Store bought ice cream, caramel pudding trying to pass for real caramel and some white powder. pretending to be sugar.

  • 1/5 Carmen W. 1 year ago on Google
    My friends and I went there this morning as I had enjoyed it a few years ago. Sadly, it has deterioted so much. The service was slow and I didn't see other customers. The cappuccinos were mainly milk but they didn't charge us for them as they were really bad. The ice cream was icy. Furthermore, we cleaned our table and the stairs going to the deck need some serious maintenance. The speakers are on the way out so they switched them off after we asked. The waitress was friendly and seemed to know how bad the food etc is.

    Service very slow even if we were the only guests. Pancakes good coffee okay

  • 4/5 rowan p. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and vibe.. Can't go to the harties area without visiting this little dime of a restaurant. Situated on one of the main roads makes it slightly tricky to find parking but there's a little market right next door to walk through and find some local gifts. Best pancakes and waffles around and definitely recommend this place before your trip home

  • 5/5 Lélani S. 1 year ago on Google
    What an awesome, relaxing place to go to! I can't wait for my next visit.

  • 4/5 Ian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Pancakes and waffles were great, service was fine. We were told they did not have credit card facilities. There was no cash float so the waiter could not give me change. That made things much pricier. And soured the experience somewhat.

  • 5/5 Lynn V. 1 year ago on Google
    Compliments to the chef... the chicken wings were delicious - light, crispy & real tasty, especially with the jalapeño mayo sauce 😋. The best dessert ever.... caramel & banana pancake with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar 😋 ✨️.

  • 1/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are no hurry, this is the place to be. Slow, I mean really slow service. Waited 20 minutes and had to go look for a waiter to take our order. Order placed, 30 minutes for the drinks to arrive, shakes and a beer, 53 minutes later the food was brought to our table not in one go, but in sessions. The food was cold when it arrived. Almost another hour has passed when placing our desert order. Others almost done with their desert and I am still waiting for my desert as the waiter removes the desert plates. Done with my desert and the last desert was brought to the table. An absolute disgrace!!! What a waste for Sunday afternoon. BTW, we are a party of 9 people.
