I want to like this place. I really do. Their bacon is FANTASTIC, and they have like, a million pancakes. My big problem is their famous apple pancake. On paper, it sounds delicious. You read it on the menu and it sounds like a gigantic apple fritter covered in powdered sugar and syrup. How can you go wrong? Well, when it gets to you (and it takes close to 20 minutes to make) it looks and tastes like an apple omelet. No fun at all. They have great silver dollar pancakes, though.
