Such a beautiful restaurant! Servers are attentive and tons of parking available. Presentation is typically quite good, and I find this location had a higher quality in taste than others in the chain. It feels like more of a high class option for brunch or “breakfast for dinner”.

Had the giant apple pancake and banana split waffle. Kinda prefer the old one on Pembina. This one looks like Chop Steakhouse. Service is quick and friendly. Still struggle with paying $40.00 for ppl for breakfast.

This was our first try last Saturday at this location and I would say the food were great. I ordered for their new item on the menu - French toast banana bread with caramel and pecan and was delicious. My friends said their food was also great. I found their coffee very strong though, in my opinion. Nice modern decor. Overall great experience, fast, friendly service with ample parking. We'll be back to try their new menus.

I have been here a few times now and I can say that this franchise is consistent. I have almost the same experience no matter which Pancake House I go to.

As is usual with almost any breakfast place you go to on weekends, there is a little bit of a wait time when you get there. The staff does a good job of moving people in and out and accommodating any group, no matter how large or small. They are always friendly and are more than willing to get you whatever you may need. When the place is packed, it does take a little bit of time for them to come around but even then, they still are around to fill coffees and ask how things are going before it gets too late.

The food at this location is also the same as it is at any other Pancake House. I really like this because I know what to expect and I can get my favorites and not have to be worried that this staff will make it different than others. My favorites are the Ham & Cheese pancake and then anything that comes with their signature  Buttermilk Pancakes. They always prepare everything to specifications and are quite accommodating when I have heard others ask for substitutions. Nothing on the menu blows me away but it is all just good, wholesome breakfast food.

The atmosphere at the new place is what separates this place from the the other locations. This one definitely has a more modern feel. I like how the tables and layout allow for flexibility to accommodate many different size groups without having to wait for an hour for the one table that can seat more than 4 people. 

The one thing I will say about this location specifically is that you must be prepared to wait a little while when you get there. Especially on weekend mornings. Not sure if it is the novelty of the new location or what but this seems to be where everyone comes for breakfast. 

Will definitely be making my way back here again. It is a solid, consistent restaurant.

Had lunch here today. To start off, staff was very friendly and accomodating. It was my first time to experience 3 staff come up to us and ask if we need something to drink. Typically, it's either we have to wait for a while for someone to offer us a drink or there would be only one staff who would come up to us. Though it was full today, the wait for the food was not too long. The food was great, a lot better than the Pancake House at the Forks. Lastly, I love the theme of the place. The only downside for me is the location which is far from where I live. But overall, it was a great dining experience!

Tasty food and nice customer service! Went in today around 1:30pm and was seated immediately. Server was kind and polite. She came around constantly to refill my coffee & check on our table. I ordered the vegan waffles with a side of hash browns (not pictured). I was really impressed to see a Vegan option available on the menu. Overall a good experience! I would definitely come back.

Came here for some rest after a nice walk around Kings Park. The interior felt cozy; enjoyed watching softly falling snow through the large window, with my special someone♡ Staffs were friendly and attentive to my needs. Overall the food was just what I expected in a simple breakfast place.

We came in a party of six for lunch. Only one negative - we had to wait an extra 8 minutes for three of six meals to come out. Not too major an issue for us. The meals were great and the service from Dillon was excellent. You have to try the Big Apple and the Blueberry Waffles!!!

Wow! I haven't been out for a year or so and had forgotten how great this place is for breakfast! Food was superb. As busy as they were the staff all had smiles and were very productive. I will be going back.

Came at lunch and I foolishly thought it would be quiet or slow. Nope! Very busy, but we were seated within minutes, and then we looked at the menu and I haven't had that hard of time picking something in a long time. Ended up getting waffles and it was the right choice, will go back to try more of that menu.
