CLOSED ON MONDAYS until further notice!!! They need to change their Google info. We went to eat today but were disappointed that they were closed with no new information on the building. Called and got the news. Food was great when we did visit years ago! read more

We came here for breakfast with my dad and stepmom on December 2nd. First time here. This place has been in business over 40 years. Cash only. We were seated right away. Coffee was good. Food was ok. Service was good too but this place is definitely not one of my top favorite breakfast places. I ordered a waffle with eggs and bacon. Dave ordered french toast with eggs and bacon. We both had coffee which we thought was good. Not sure we will be visiting again but overall nice breakfast; no complaints. read more

My friend and I went to Pancakes N Things for lunch as we have done many times. Unfortunately this past visit, April 5, 2024 will be our last. My bacon was overcooked and very hard, so I just informed the waitress for information purposes only. I had a BLT, but I took the bacon off and I had asked for iceberg lettuce, but it was not on the sandwich. At any rate, I just let our server know so she could let the cook know about the bacon. The server stated that she does handle this complaint and took the sandwich and went to the front of the restaurant and spoke with a women who said she was the owner but she would not give me her name. When I went to pay, she was offended that I didn't like my bacon and proceeded to let me know. I tried to explain that I just wanted them to know. She immediately took offense to my statement and proceeded to refuse my money and told me to get out of her store. She said that this was her store and she could do and say whatever she wanted. She would not let me get a word in at all. She also said she knew that I did this every time I was there, which was not true. This was my first time with a concern over the food. My friend and I left the restaurant, but my friend went back in to pay for my lunch. She stated that she did not want her money and for her to leave the store as well. Once back in the vehicle so we could leave, that employee, owner, whoever she was, came out to our vehicle and took a picture of our license plate. When asked why, she again stated that this was her store and she could do what she wanted. Needless to say we would NOT recommend this eating establishment to anyone. read more

A great Mom & Pop restaurant with friendly staff and comfort food. I've been coming here for years! And I always love their breakfast. That's the only thing I've had though and I keep saying I would come for dinner. The great thing about this place is that they have turkey sausage which is awesome since I don't eat pork. They also have early bird specials but you have to be in like before 8am to get it, needless to say, I never get those deals. They have fish and grits on their menu for breakfast-Yum! They have an awesome hash brown made with real potatoes, green peppers, and onions. The portion is generous and the prices are awesome for what you get. Staff is friendly and remembers you after awhile. They do need major remodeling because it looks like the 70's inside. But the food is still great! Bring cash! No credit card excepted here read more

They only take cash...RED FLAG...I went here from a few good recommendations BUT was disappointed. Service was fast but food was semi bland. I ordered fish eggs and home fries. It all tasted the same. No seasonings at all. read more

Nothing like a 25 minute drive to find out that the owners aren't smart enough to update their hours. 6am on Yelp and Apple Maps, 7am on the door. If this is how they manage their business, I have to question their ability to handle food properly. Great way to prevent new business. read more

Definitely the best breakfast spot in Virginia and the staff and owner are very friendly. If you want some great breakfast check them out

So i had got the Italian sausage and onion omelet and it was very plain. I feel that they don't season the food either enough or at all. It also took a long time for the food to come out. The atmosphere is very nice but the food can be a lot better. I give it three stars because I feel like it's just very playing it does it really give that extravagant feel just so average a lil small mom and pop restaurant. read more

I may have been raised most of my life down south but I'm still a Jersey girl! One of my favorite things about going to visit my family up north is the delicious diner food! Hand to God, as soon as my foot hit the parking lot and the aromas hit my nose, I felt like I was walking up to one of the old Greek family owned diners that have alway held a special place in my memories. Whatever you order is going to be delicious and you will leave full! They only accept cash but they do have an ATM machine inside. You can definitely tell it's a spot for regulars because most people were getting a little more attention than we were. We plan on becoming a part of the regulars as well since we were so pleased with the food and prices! read more

Breakfast on Sunday...very friendly, surprisingly fast service, and a very good breakfast. Eggs were perfect. Next time we're at the beach, this place is on the list for sure. read more

Okay let me start by saying you can't use a credit or debit card here. Cash only, there is an ATM but it charges you a $2 service fee. There's not much parking in the front of the building so you have to park in the auxiliary lot behind the McDonalds (pretty difficult to get to if it's your first time). The waiting area when you walk in is very tight. Especially on a Sunday around 11. Now the meal... The food was very good, seasoned just right but the portions are small. What was supposed to be 2 eggs looked like 1 and the pancakes were kind of small. I probably won't go back because I can get the same quality food elsewhere and won't have to pay cash. read more

Cute diner like setting and amazing food. Never have I ever had such yummy pork chops. I was starving and wanted a hearty breakfast. I usually don't order steak/pork chops for breakfast as a rule and because they are usually bland when I have tried other people's steak/chop order. That said, I was more than pleasantly surprised how moist tender and well seasoned the chops were. The pork chops's come with side that were pretty good, fresh, hot and perfectly cooked. BUT the pork chops were the start of the show. My waitress was absolutely amazing I'd come here everyday once a day (if I could). Every order coming out of the kitchen was made to order and the portions are all generous. No skimping on anything. The parking lot is not huge so you may need to plan accordingly. The coffee is bottomless. I think that's is just to ensure you make it home after your huge delicious lunch/brunch. Keep in mind that they do not accept credit cards but there is an ATM at the entrance just in case you forget. Happy Eating Yeeps!!! read more

Not real impressed,$9.45 for 3 thin pancakes, 2 ..THIN!. sausage(not much flavor) patties,and 2 eggs.Food tasted average, but overpriced for aforementioned reasons. Was going to get a chocolate milk.. but not for almost 3 bucks a glass.If a Dennys or IHOP opened nearby,this place would probably go under.maybe the other menu items are worth price(s),but not for what I had. And cash only?? Hellooo.. it's 2019!!!!! P. S. If I can can cook better tasting eggs and sausage (Jimmy Dean) at home, why (over)pay for mediocre? I think people eat here bc it's close by them and no real competition. I'm okay with the old school charm, as long as it's a clean place. read more

I pass this restaurant every Sunday, have always been curious about it, but never went in until very recently. I never knew what I was missing! While deciding on what to eat for brunch after mass one day, I had mentioned to my boyfriend that this place always looked pretty full and how I was interested in checking it out but have never been. So that decided it. And I am so glad we went! I ordered one of their weekend breakfast specials with eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns, and a biscuit with gravy. It was a lot of food, but I loved every bit of it. I finished my meal so full and satisfied. My favorite part of my meal was the biscuit and gravy. So good! The service here is impeccable. Every single person was so warm and friendly. They greeted us and welcomed us to the restaurant. Our server was great, and our food came out fairly quickly. This is exactly how I want to be treated when dining out. I had a great experience here. I don't know why I didn't check it out sooner. And I will definitely be coming back again! read more

My family came here on a whim on Sunday for the first time. We are unfamiliar with the area so we put in our order at 9:50 for a waffle meal and were told it would be finished in 15 mins. Not only did we get the order at around 10:30, the man taking orders decided to interject himself into my husband's conversation that had nothing to do with him insisting that if we wanted faster service we shouldn't have come today. My husband was talking to another customer about our family run mobile mechanic business while we were waiting. I'm aware of what a rush is and how nerve wrecking that can be but his attitude was unwarranted and completely unnecessary. Keeping composure in stressful situations is normally apart of the job but I guess that wasn't the case for us. The food was ok. read more

I am particular when it comes to breakfast spots.  I prefer locally-owned and operated diners as opposed to large chains.  I love places that fit into the "Goldilocks" category: not too big, not too small; just right.  Great food and great service at a reasonable price. This place definitely fits the bill.  It appears small on the outside, but I was surprised at how spacious it was inside.  Eveything and appeared to be very clean.  I was greeted multiple times before and after being seated.  While I was eating, I witnessed one of the staff exclaim about how this little girl was growing up so fast and then she have the little girl a hug.  You can tell that the staff at this restaurant are genuine. The menu was quite plain and had a small binder clip used to hold a couple extra sheets describing some of the specials that were available.  I decided to order a french toast combination with ham and a side of grits.  Food came out fast, was hot and extremely delicious!  Some of the best french toast I've had in a while.  Honestly, all the food was outstanding.  The waitress came back often to check on me and refilled my coffee regularly. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience.  My only regret is not knowing that this place existed sooner.  I give it a 4.5/5.  I will definitely come back here again! read more

My first visit here and the food was AMAZING! My server Mary was nice and very attentive Upon cashing out the older guy my guess he's one of the owners noticed that my meal was 13.95 and it wasn't accurate.. so he wrote on my ticket mark up $1.00 ... sadly I guess they are That pressed for a coin to do this to a customer ... if it was my business I would've just addressed my staff to ensure the tickets are right before giving to the customer .... that part just placed a bad taste in my mouth ... customer service is VERY important in any business.. anyway I'm sure we will visit again but it will not be a first choice for us .. But positive note the food was great and I'm s southern girl and the fish was on point and the cheese eggs and the sweet tea ...!!! read more

I like coming here. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. It never is too noisy and a great place to have a conversation. Staff is friendly and attentive to what's going on. This eatery is influenced by the Greeks and you know they have good food. Stopped in for a bite to eat. I got a grilled chicken club on a kaiser roll w/french fries. It has bacon on it so it sounded good just by the description alone. Tip: They don't take credit card so always have cash when coming here. "Tip your waitress," as Lafayette would say. I've been here a few times already and am now just writing a review for it. Better late than never I suppose. I will be back. read more

This is my mother's favorite restaurant. She drags me here every time I offer to take her out for dinner. In my opinion, the food here isn't that great. To me tje food is basic and bland, but you can't tell my mom that. She loves everything on the menu. What the place lacks in flavorful food they more than make up for in service and friendliness. Most of the custers are regulars like my mom. The owners and staff do a good job of remembering and interacting with customers. For most, it's like a home away from home and a second family. Back to the food. I have to admit the steak is pretty tasty, but I recommend avoiding the meatloaf at all costs. It was over cooked and dry. The salad bar leaves much to be desired and you can only go up for one trip. The salad bar consists of large pieces of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, croutons, a few selections of salad dressing and pudding. I love salads so the weak salad bar is disappointing. read more

What a wonderful neighborhood restaurant. The service was outstanding and the food fantastic. We ordered the Country breakfast and Pancakes. The food came out quickly and our coffee was always topped off. This is a cash only business with an ATM inside if needed. read more

This place has amazing breakfast , been coming here for years ! Today is the first time in a couple years I've been here . I had the fried trout ( very fresh ) with eggs & fried potatoes .. everything was amazing down to the service , however the reason they didn't get that last star is because the potatoes were not good at all , you can tell they either cook them early morning & rewarm them or they from the day before & either way it was gross . All the salt pepper & ketchup in the world couldn't save those potatoes . But overall my breakfast was still good read more

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! The menu states one advertised price... but when we tried to order... we were told, "No that is the price from 8:00-11:00, the price goes up after 11:00!" That would have been fine, but the menu did not state that! The waitress/owner's daughter said, "Everyone knows that!" Since it was my first time there, we didn't know that..... Don't waste your time!!! read more

I really struggled with this one because I don't want to hurt a locally owned business. But I've just got to be honest.... Today was my second time here. The first time I was here (Mar/Apr timeframe) the place was hoppin. We had to go to the additional parking lot across the street and wait a few minutes for a table. Today I was there during prime time around noon on a Sunday. There had a decent crowd but nowhere near a full house. The man who I presume is the owner creeped me out by looking me up and down before seating us. Everything about this restaurant could be better. The menus have tattered scraps of paper with the specials scribbled on that are attached with a binder clip. The framed pictures are rippled under that glass. The backs of the wooden chairs look like nobody ever wipes them down. The bathrooms are kinda gross and just look like everything is just falling apart. Onto food and drinks. The tap water has a funky taste that also contributes to the unpleasant taste of the coffee. They can make a decent fried egg and pancakes but everything else, meh. What really got me today was the blueberry pancakes that were not blueberry at all. The waitress totally could have told me there was a $2-$3 upcharge for a side dish of old blueberry pie filling that is thick and gelatinous with hardly any visible signs of an actual blueberry. Another Yelper said this is made onsite. I find that very hard to believe. Maybe back when that review was written but today it looked like generic canned filling. When she delivered my plate it was one of those things you just stare at for a second to process. Wait..is this what they consider a "blueberry pancake?" I asked my bf "What is this?" His response was "Something your aren't going to eat." Lol so true. When the waitress picked up our plates she noticed it wasn't touched but she didn't bother to say anything or asking if there was something wrong. I'm curious if anybody knowingly orders this since it was a total surprise to me. They don't care and that is apparent with every aspect of this place. The payment is cash only which is truly inconvenient but there is an ATM there. read more

Stuffed French toast was 10/10 and take out was quick...was ready when we arrived even though the place was packed

The food is great and big portions. Please bring cash as they only take cash. I have to go and try everything on the menu. Highly recommend! read more

It's clean and the staff is very friendly and accommodating, but the food is mediocre and very over priced. It's just your typical diner food marked up. The pancakes have no taste and are thick and doughy. I've had better from a box of Hungry Jack mix. Not worth a special trip even though it was recommended. I didn't get a feel for what the,hype was about. It sure couldn't have been about the food or prices. Cracker Barrel is a better deal all around. read more

I'm a fan of old-fashioned style restaurants, especially breakfast joints, so I was very excited to eat here. The restaurant is divided in half with both rooms having completely different vibes. An older vintage feel. The staff was very nice, but the service was not. We said we needed a sec to look at the menu, and the waitress gave us plenty of time since she didn't come back for 15-20 minutes. I ordered the Athenian Soulaki Platter and my wife ordered pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs with cheese (the cheese was almost a dollar extra). About average wait time for our food. The food was good, but honestly I could have made it at home. The biggest turn-offs were having a limit of 3 refills, only being allowed one trip to the salad bar, and only getting desert if you ordered a main entrée (even though the platter I ordered was the price of a main entrée, I did not get desert because it wasn't in the main entrée section on the menu). Credit card is also not accepted. I don't mind if the food/service is worth it though. My wife asked for a box for her food and after waiting 10 minutes, we decided it wasn't worth it, paid, then left. Nice staff. Slow service. Mediocre food read more

Went here because of the reviews. The food was ok at best, no idea why they have so many stars. Breakfast from 8 to 11 is the only meal you should get here, otherwise be prepared to spend 9 to 12 on a meal where every extra is extra....75 cents for a slice of tomato on a burger. Very dirty inside, dust throughout vents, sticky tables. The only saving grace was the service. Very nice ladirs, who work hard. Maybe a stop for a mon to fri breakfast, otherwise pass it by. read more
