I have a soft spot when it comes to getting pancakes with either boysenberry or blueberry syrup. Tara was in love with IHOP and she used to alternate putting a berry syrup on the top pancake, traditional maple syrup on the second pancake, and then back to berry for the last of the triple stack. So now that's what I do. That's why when I go to pancake joints like Pancakes R Us with their selection of syrups, I immediately smile. Yes, I like diner flapjacks and I like places that serve fruity pancakes, but it's nothing compared to how I overjoyed I get when a place has all the syrups and are willing to share them with you. The other parts of the breakfast were good too. The eggs were super runny and sunny, just like they were supposed to be. The breakfast links were good, if not skinny, but they give you four so I'm all good with that. And the hash browns were okay, but it's very hard to eff up those to any degree. And the coffee refills came in hot and came in often. I got to the five benchmark in less than an hour. That's all you want from your server. And this server anticipated me every time as if he were some kind of coffee Oracle. The place was kind of dim and old, but I kind of dug it because it gave away a hangout vibe, like I was a regular as soon as I walked in the door. I even talked MLS/La Liga/Premier League with the server like we were old friends. But the best part was the superb access to those berry syrups. That's the key to any success flapjack joint. read more

We have a split decision here. My wife loved every aspect of her meal. The omelette was light, fluffy and layered like a crepe. The avocado was fresh. She loved the pancakes. A little dry, but very tasty. I found my breakfast to be bland. The steak was flavored right, but a poor cut of meat. Biscuits and gravy were neither good nor disappointing. The coffee was better than average. We liked that they didn't heavily salt everything. The service started out poor as we were barked at from across the room by the hostess to choose any seat to our left before the door was closed. Regaldo saved the service in my opinion. He did a great job. The space is dated but clean. With the price of goods and services being quite high locally, the prices are here at $57 for 2 are still higher than most of the other breakfast spots I frequent. read more

Way Overpriced for under cooked pancakes. Breakfast for two, nothing fancy: one 3 egg platter with pancake combo w/ coffee and a two egg platter w crapes combo w/small OJ was $57.00 the place is run down, there's an old musty smell when you walk in. (Should have walked right back out). The 2 female Hosts offered Excellent Costumer Service (they were twins) but that would not get me to go back. FYI if the parking lot is not well maintained and hasn't been paved since the 70's, do not stop- do not park- Do Not Pass Go. Keep driving to another breakfast spot. read more

Great selection. My disappointment were the dry pancakes and beans in the chili cheese omelette. My server was real good. Additionally, I didn't see any weekday specials. Oh well. read more

I am always on the hunt for the Perfect Diner. I've wanted to try this place since I moved back to my hometown over a decade ago and found that what once was the Sizzler of my youth was now a simple diner. Stepping inside is like stepping back in time or entering a portal into some one-horse town in the Midwest. Wood paneling everywhere. Brown tile flooring that hasn't been replaced since the Regan era, and kitschy tin signs from Hobby lobby. The good, my two children and my husband were satisfied with their meals. The sunny side up eggs came out perfect for my eldest, and we all agreed the bacon was perfect. My youngest had the chocolate chip pancakes, and that's a total no-brainer. My husband had a meat lovers omelette and no complaints. Now for the negative. We were sitting for at least 10 minutes before any staff checked in on us. I was so thirsty. Secondly the pancakes were a mess. They didn't taste like buttermilk, which should be standard at a diner and the waiter said they were, but worse, they were falling apart. No structural integrity whatsoever (per my photos) the waiter said they were made from scratch, and if that's the case they need to tighten their recipe. Lastly the hash browns. I love hash browns, and they were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside... but with no seasoning whatsoever. Even adding ketchup could not summon my enthusiasm or hunger. I sent the pancakes back, and they were kind enough to remove them from my bill, I should have sent the hash browns back also, but I didn't have the heart. Our server was so kind. The other patrons seemed perfectly content, but I doubt I'll return with my fam any time soon. read more

So let's start with the positive, the food is well prepared . I had the quick breakfast with poached eggs. Mom had the ham and cheese omelette and pancakes. The bad , maintenance. This is a former Sizzler restaurant. It has been open under pancakes RUs name for years. Yet it still retains much of the Sizzler look. The tables are worn the flooring is stained and mismatched. The windows had the frames painted at some point , paint was left on the glass. . Service was friendly and speedy. Accuracy was an issue. I asked for eggs poached Med and that was perfect. I asked for my hash brown extra well done . I received potatoes that were soft and starchy . The service ware was showing its age and miss matched. Given the Montclair location is close by and in much better shape I can not recommend this location. I am hopeful with the new Metro station some improvements will be made. read more

When we arrived we were greeted by a very polite young lady after her was another young lady very sweet. Then came a male server who took our order. I did ask for recommendations between the chile verde plate or the chilaquiles but his response were a bit short i don't know how to explain it. We went there for an early bday celebration of mine and I was not very impressed. Everyone in my party enjoyed their order, as for me well I did ordered the chilaquiles rojos which were good and spicy, the rice and beans were too bland. I ordered a waffle as well and that was very good. Just fyi Their menu has a lot of options and I mean a whole lot of options. I'm sure you might enjoy something from there as for me i guess it was just not it :( read more

Huge menu but food sucks. Most plates are $18 and up even breakfast. Chorizo and eggs were so bad looked horrible and tasted worse. Coffee was scary tasting. Server was sucky except for the front desk lady up front was very nice. Won't be going back. Thank you. read more

Amazing food, and service!! Pancakes are good and fluffy. The cinnamon bun French toast is great!!!

Food portion very hearty. Regalado's service was good. We were the only couple on New Year's night.

This place is a chain but is very much reminiscent of a local diner. Food is good... better than Denny's or Ihop. Service is nice and ambiance is dated but comfortable. Can't go wrong by grabbing breakfast here but don't expect anything more or less than a local diner. read more

10/10 Local Gem Service was top notch, food was delicious and well prepared. And the overall vibe was great! I strongly recommend it after a big morning, because it slows down around 1pm. The staff were so friendly and make the experience feel like home. read more

I called and confirmed that the gravy contains pork, but this wasn't listed or disclosed when ordering. I don't eat pork, so this was really disappointing to find out after the fact. Ingredient transparency matters for dietary, religious, and personal reasons. If I'm ordering steak or chicken fried steak, I wouldn't expect pork to be in the gravy unless it's clearly stated on the menu. read more

The food is always good and the staff is friendly and attentive! My Dad and I love it there.

*Just my personal opinion* As soon as you come in it smells like musty old basement. If you can get past the smell, cool. Wait time is average, it looks like only 1 waiter. Our 2 platters, 3 drinks came out to a total of $54.00! It honestly wasn't worth the amount of food we got or the taste of it. We just wanted to give it a shot because it had good reviews. Dennys has more food for less $. Sorry but not worth it. read more

Food is always so delicious. Service is good. The ambiance it feels like you walk into to an old dinner, in a way they haven't remodeled it.

Why would you cook your steak in seed oils and eggs as well? It tasted super disgusting- also the steak was ridiculously dried out and gross. The pictures show amazing quality but the food sucks. Wouldn't recommend, my girlfriend also didn't really like the taste of the food. Though she did say it was ok. read more

Was in the area really early for an event, and this place was right down the street, open at 7am. I got 3 scrambled eggs, 4 pieces of bacon, coffee, and 1 pancake. Service was wonderful and everything tasted fantastic. Especially the pancake. You'd hope so based on the name Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for great diner food in the area, and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Hope I'm around there again soon to try the chicken fried steak, looked dank! read more

Really good food! Eggs were cooked perfect. Everything came out hot and correct. Service was awesome. Very friendly and the tables were clean. We all enjoyed our food. Can't wait to come back. read more

So, this place has been open for sometime and I have been very hesitant to go. I'm a Yelper and I saw a lot of mixed reviews. My husband and I were out running errands and decided why not give it a try. We are so happy we did. I was craving biscuits and gravy and they were absolutely delicious here. It came with eggs and hashbrowns and they were cooked to perfection. My husband got the classic combo with pancakes. Again, everything was great. Pancakes were light and fluffy and oh so yummy. My coffee was delicious also. I usually don't get coffee at restaurants but it was cold and rainy outside and I thought why not. My husband got the hot chocolate and I think that was a little disappointing for my husband as he said it wasn't so much hot, but warm. Service was great. Will definitely come back for a repeat! read more

Sadly no pancakes for me, but I was pleasantly surprised with my meal here. Pancakes R Us is a little run down, so if you're looking for a cute breakfast spot, this simply is not it. However if you're looking for some solid breakfast, brunch, lunch options, Pancakes R Us is 4 U. They have Senior Breakfasts from which my dad happily ordered. He opted for the Senior Gourmet Breakfast ($11.99). It comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon or sausage, hash browns, and pancakes or toast. It was proportionately perfect with a moderate price tag, making the Senior Breakfast a very good value. I ordered the patty melt ($13.99) as one does. It's a burger patty smothered with grilled onions and American cheese on grilled rye bread. Most burgers and sandwiches come with fries and as their ranch, they use individual Ken's Ranch dressings and honestly, I've never met a better ranch situation. The fries are lightly seasoned so they were delicious. The patty melt was just as advertised - fatty, melty, and oniony. The chili cheese omelette ($13.29) was also very good. It's an omelette smothered in chili beans and cheese lol. Again, it was as advertised. I liked that most breakfasts come with your choice of toast OR pancakes! No need to spring for extra pancakes when they're built into the breakfast entrees. Not bad for a breakfast out of convenience. read more

Pancakes R Us is where it's at! My phone usually eats first (taking pics of the food) but not this time... the aroma drew me in and when I opened the containers it was over from there! Did a phone order of: + Skillet potatoes + Turkey sausage + Sautéed Spinach with bell peppers & onions My food was AMAZING. More than generous portions. Friendly staff. Great music playing throughout the restaurant Discounts for military and seniors... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

The food was incredible. It was like being thrown back in time to the 1950s where everything was delicious and wonderful. Great ambience, excellent service. This is one of those places that holds up an entire community. I love it and can't wait to go back! read more

So good! Especially for the price! Large portions. Perfectly seasoned potatoes, and the best french toast ive had in a long time

This place is exactly like an IHOP except the restaurant is old, and not as nice, and the food is a little better and cheaper. The portions are very generous, and none of us could finish our meals. Definitely recommended if you are hungry for breakfast. read more

Giving a 5 star review all because of Alex and his excellent service. Alex was nice and took a minute to talk about our thanksgiving. People dont have to be the same to extend a short visit. He was working his butt off serving everyone Thanksgiving morning but still gave me a 10% military discount and thanked me for my service. The food was good, seats comfortable. Its an old place that charges Ihop prices. The crowd and area is sketch but overall a good place to go. Thanks for being open a few hours on a holiday! Thats awesome and ill make sure to give Alex a good tip! Thank you. read more

Just what the sign says lots of pancakes with fruit no fruit. Buttermilk or chocolate they are all good. Older people young people and families. Potatoes we good pancakes were good. Nice place to have a verity of breakfast.... I will come back! read more

Burnt coffee, questionable water, less than mediocre food. Whatever dream this was has become a comatose delusion.

I ordered the Ranch Scramble. The pancakes were great but that's it. The scramble was horrible. I had to pick out the eggs and vegis from the mountain of cheese it had on top. It seemed like it was trying to compensate for the lack of the others. The cheese wasn't even melted, just cold shredded cheese mix. The hash browns and coffee were alright. The food is definitely not worth the price. The place did feel clean for how old it was and the service was very friendly. I'd prob just go back for the pancakes and coffee. I'd prob avoid any of the egg dishes. read more

My daughter and I ended up walking out after being seated with no service. They gave us the menus when we were seated. After 10 mins we tried to get someone's attention after we saw two other couples walk in and get their drink orders taken. Hate to make it about race but we were the only black people there. Being busy is fine, but they weren't (there was no wait to sit) so to clearly skip service to someone already seated and service those that came after is crazy and poor customer service. If you're black go somewhere else, trust me. You're not truly welcome here. read more

First time , really pleased, better than a 3 1/2 star rating. Got the sweet crepes , very good, could have used more actual strawberries, but still very tasty... Got side of bacon crispy with excellent flavor,, wife got the special, sirloin steak, which was better than I expected.. was very tender, it also came with eggs hash browns, and pancakes, I didn't care for the pancakes.. wife liked them, so a me thing,, the multiple choices of syrup is awesome..it's a nice place lots tables, very clean, lots of funny wall hangings, service is top notch, had three people ask if I needed coffee refilled , and our server was on top of things we didn't have to ask twice. He was prompt and courteous. read more
