I was not aware that this pancake house has been around as long as I have! It was born in Portland Oregon in 1953. For the people who have been at this establishment which is located all over the states and have only ordered the typical breakfast of pancakes, bacon & eggs, or oatmeal (why not just stay home and cook your own), it is time to WAKE UP!
The best thing you can order is the Dutch Baby which they are known for. It is an air-filled wonder. Don't get shocked with the size of it since most of it is air, finishing it is quite doable. To enjoy it fully, you will have to eat it the way I do. Make sure you order extra lemon and powdered sugar. Tell them to skip the butter instead and just give you the extra stuff. When it comes, squeeze a lot of lemon on 1/4 of the pancake including the puffy sides. Then sprinkle a lot of powdered sugar which forms a syrup. Then and only then can you take your first bite.....
The other item that they are known for is the Apple Pancake; it is a huge pancake with lots of sauteed apples cooked in sugar and cinnamon. If you like apples, you will love it..this can be shared as it is too sweet to devour yourself.
The German potato pancakes are also very good. It is paper thin and is served with sour cream and apple sauce. I prefer the apple sauce. You can also order 1/2 order of this and order a single Continental crepe which is rolled in sour cream with triple sec and is served with an orange marmalade syrup..Yum...the sweetness of this and flavor of the potato pancakes are a perfect match.
So next time you want something different, good and you are not in a hurry since the Dutch baby and apple pancake takes 20 minutes to make, stop by this old restaurant.
