    An oldie but goodie. It has the warmth and homey atmosphere with great food to create great memories! The waffles and pancakes were done right, nothing fancy but light and airy, pair with the cream, jams and fruits, a dream!

    A nice place to grab breakfast with a good menu with plenty to choose from. A bit pricey to make it a daily stop to eat, but a nice treat once in a while. We ordered the eggs Benedict and they were pretty good. The Candian ham was good and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The sauce was a bit bland tasting but the dish was good overall. The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy and just the right amount. The restaurant was very busy but we did not have to wait for our food or our waitress to check on us.

    Friendly & polite service. The steak had a great flavor. No complaints on the pancakes either. Big, clean, nice restaurant. Worth going back for sure.

    Went with the family as a large group (20). Called and put our name on the list, once we arrived we still had to wait almost 30 additional minutes. Our waiter wasn't very friendly and seemed annoyed to shave to deal with us. He did a decent job getting everyone's order correct, although two kids meals were forgotten. Food was pretty dang tasty. I had the souffle omelette (chicken sausage & cheese) and the Dutch Baby German Pancake which was very tasty--like a popover bowl! Prices seemed slightly high for what you got, but that's the day and age we're in. All and all was good and would go back.

    Leaving The Great Wolf Lodge we headed here. Kids love pancakes, waffles, my other half loves a good french toast. Myself I'm a omelette person.... This place is way larger than it appears from the outside, knew it had to be with how packed the parking lot was. We waited about 15/20 minutes, but there is seven is so we expect that. What I did not like is how on top of each other you are. Barely any room between the tables/chairs... Carrying my three year old I felt like I was going to smack someone in the head with her feet. Anyway... Service was OK at best. We sat and sat and sat till our server dropped off water and said nothing else and left again. When he finally came back we got the order in, waited some more which again they were busy... When you wait to sit you wait to eat. Dropped the food off, asked if we needed anything and then never brought what we asked for and didn't see him again till the check came. Your here for the food review though... It was GREAT!! Two kids had strawberry pancakes along with strawberry sauce? Idk, but delicious. One had choc chip cakes, another pumpkin. I however got a mushroom and spinach omelette then added bacon. First the bacon is thick and wonderful, cooked perfectly. Second the omelette is four eggs and "fluffy" I think that means a big plop of egg (see the picture) Overall I would say YES try it! Maybe your service will be better than ours. Food was worth the ok service though.

    A lot of food! Consider sharing! Food was really good, server was great, only reason for 4 stars is it was so uncomfortably hot in the restaurant we had sweat beads rolling down our back! Everyone around us was complaining also.

    What a charming place! Loved the stained glass, light fixtures, and wallpaper. Very kitschy, but it works! The buttermilk pancakes and Swedish pancakes were both cooked perfectly. The hash-browns were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside- a very impressive accomplishment. It was bustling at 8:45 am, and by 10 am, the wait seemed to be growing exponentially. I’d recommend getting there early. We arrived at 8:45 am, and we only had to wait 5 minutes or so. The service was efficient and our food came relatively quickly. I’d definitely come back for the buttermilk pancakes.

    We had a wonderful delayed Mother's Day on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 got right in and I like the fact that now you can do the pre-reservation tables a lot of times earlier in the day it's so busy. This has been a big tradition for our family. We go there at least three times a year and enjoy everything from crepes to the 49er pancakes to omelets and more. Patty, our server, has been there forever and does such a great job taking care of all twelve of us. Food is always great, and I would highly recommend the Crybaby Craig's hotsauce on your eggs it's made right here in Minnesota and Northeast Minneapolis. Fresh squeezed orange juice is amazing.

    Really love this pancake house. Found exotic pancakes that I never tasted before. Everything was so yummy... the waffles, the pancakes, the egg benedict. Will definitely come back to this place when I visit Minnesota again. Word of advice though... this place is very crowded so making reservation before hand is recommended

    Great pancake house!! Excellent service by friendly server. Always checking that you are ok and your coffee mug is filled. It’s well deserved to be called pancake house cos the pancakes are super nice. Fluffy and soft. They are a classic! The combo that I ordered came with a steak, wellness medium, that was cooked to perfection. This is definitely on my list of must visit restaurants if I am in MN again.

    Went here on a whim for breakfast this morning and was sat right away, it pays to eat out alone I guess. My server was very friendly and timely. I ordered a simple breakfast, a Belgium waffle and coffee, and it was perfect. I have been here a few times now and never left disappointed. I would recommend them to anyone.

    I came on a Saturday afternoon with a party of 6 on a holiday weekend, but was a little disappointed by the 30 minute wait...until I went to sit down. I am so thankful I chose to wait!!! This is THE best breakfast I have ever had! I shared the corned beef hash (fresh made) with my sister. We upgraded our buttermilk pancakes to Swedish pancakes with lingonberries. Amazing!! My daughter had toasted coconut waffle and declared it the best waffle ever. My son got chocolate chip pancakes and thought they were REALLY good. We also shared a strawberry banana dutch pancake. You HAVE to try their dutch pancakes, this one or the plain with honey and lemon. Crazy Amazing!! Our server was Jose and he was hands down the best waiter we have ever had. He was a mind reader, thoughtful and quick to help, plus just a very sweet person.

    Great food, great place. They were extremely busy which is understandable but the server was a little rude, hence my reason for docking a point.

    I don't have any complaints. It's a pretty average breakfast joint. We had fast, friendly service. Our food was hot and fresh. Their pancakes were better than most breakfast places. They were fluffy and served with whipped butter and hot syrup. Their thick-cut bacon is just as described.

    DELICIOUS!!! Decided to go there for brunch and was sooo glad I didn’t go somewhere else. The portions are big but is great if you want leftovers for the next day. I’m a meats girls so when my sister got the garden omelette I decided to try hers and it was soooo good! I got the fresh strawberries crepes and it was also yummy. Don’t forget to order a side of hash brown it’s got just the right amount of crisp. Parking lot can get really packed since it’s in a strip and they don’t take reservations so if you’re going during prime time make sure you go on their waitlist.

    Amazing breakfast with big portion sizes! Our server was very kind and patient. Only thing that I did not like was that they didn't seem happy to seat us bc not all members were there. (I've never had this problem elsewhere. Is this common?) Bc we were on the wait list for 30 min, 2 members of our party of 8 ran to Target quick. But then in 15 min our table was ready. It wasn't like I was the only one there to get a table first for my party.

    Classic comfort food, perfect for a heavy breakfast or brunch. We ordered the Dutch Baby German Pancake and the 49ER Flapjacks, and we really liked them. Portions are very huge though, keep that in mind when you are ordering. I'd say their Dutch Baby can comfortably feed 2 adults if they are not big eaters.

    I really enjoyed the quaint, friendly atmosphere. First time experience and will definitely want to return :) Hands down the best french toast I have ever had, raspberries were fresh and really complementary to the meal!

    First time here with a visit to mall of America. Great food, staff is efficient and quick . Our server Brenda made sure we had everything we needed including making sure my daughter left with a full stomach. Thank you O.P.H we will be back.

    The perfect brunch spot! So many yummy options to choose from! You can’t go wrong with the pancakes. The bacon is cut in thick strips- cooked perfectly. Coffee is decent with cream. It’s always busy on a weekend but worth the wait!
