What diners say — our read

One subject runs through these 29 reviews more than any other: the staff. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. After that, wait times appears most often — 21% of the corpus, averaging 5.0.

No one in this corpus comments on value for money at all. Of the 29 rated reviews, 29 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. The visit behind that grade was March 23, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 100% of the restaurants we score. Nothing was written up at that inspection at all.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Such great service - our server, Melissa, was very quick and helpful. Great food and quick service. 100% recommend their pancake stacks!

    The experience was nice and the AC was great. Our server Melissa was very helpful with allergy information and bringing me an awesome stack of pancakes. 10/10 would recommend the pancakes.

    I don't go to restaurants very often anymore because of inflation but this is one of my favorite places. been there many times. In fact no matter what if I'm going to eat out this is my first choice. I have purposely driven out of my way to stop here. this is a great review especially many thanks to Melissa.

    The food was great. We had omelets and pancakes. The pancakes were made just right and the omelets were filled with fresh ingredients. Our server was pleasant, but the service was somewhat slow. People who arrived after us got their food from the otjer server much faster. The restaurant is a bit small but it wasn't crowded at midday on a Tuesday so it was comfortable.
