My waffle was dry and hard and my husband's pancakes were burned. It's not like we went in with super-high expectations, we saw a pancake house, we were hungry and thought it would be comparable to an IHOP. It wasn't. Pros: service, parking Cons: food

We will NOT go back after eating there yesterday. My friend ordered strawberry crepes. This consisted of several tough crepes rolled - no filling - with a few dry strawberries dropped onto the top. I ordered a blueberry waffle. I have had better frozen. They put approximately 1/2 cup of powdered sugar on top - the syrup was cold. I told the waitress - she just giggled. What followed - a bill for over with one cup of coffee. We had been to this place a few times previously. It was fine - way too much food (5 egg omelets!!) Now i can get a two egg omelet for $1.00 less. Most things on the menu are now around $9.00 - $13.00. The prices have been raised substantially and the service lowered. The new Kirkland - fake and expensive. BTW the table was sticky. We had asked for a booth and were told "no" that they were closing very soon and the wait would be too long. About three minutes after sitting at the sticky table, they wisked in another couple to a booth. Pros: location - close to home - that is ALL Cons: Food, service, expensive - I have no idea where they get the one $

This is a very popular place for breakfast, only open from early morning to mid-afternoon. If you are an early riser, this is the place for you. You can avoid the horrible crowds and long waits by arriving at the crack of dawn. If you are a more leisurely riser, prepare to wait and wait and wait. In their defense, they give you a pretty fair estimate of how long the wait will be, and you can wander around the ParkPlace center to kill time. They have all the usual wonderful pancakes, blintzes, breakfast meats and juices you would expect from a place with this name, but prepared individually and made much better than the more plastic major chain with a somewhat similar name. They have eggs too...but why come to a pancake house for a breakfast without pancakes in some form? You can truly get your pancakes however you like them. The only limit is your imagination. My favorite is the Dutch Baby, a gigantic baked concoction that has apples and dough and fills me up for about two days. Their food is wonderful, and not mass produced, so be prepared for a wait for some items. Take your morning paper along, enjoy their terrific coffee, and make it a relaxed morning. They have a lunch menu during that part of the day, but breakfast is always available, and again...it IS a pancake house, so make the most of it! It has a sort of pine-paneled fifties vibe that fits the family clientele and works well. Prices are fair for the quality of the food served. PROS: Great food in huge portions CONS: Slow seating, come early if you can

We have been coming here for years and they are still one of our favorites for breakfast! They are so delicious and consistent.

I go here often with the wife, and everything from the biscuits and gravy, to the hashed browns are great...on the weekends (incl. friday). the coffee is some of the best and most consistant i've had at a restaurant. I would advise you to already be a fan of strong coffee before you order it, though. On early weekday mornings, the service and food are average at best. I don't know if they save their best staff for the weekends, or what, but i would advise against a weekday visit, at least for your first trip. The wait on the weekends is long, but the turnover is good, and the staff is good at coordinating with each other and getting your party seated quickly. Pros: Huge portions, Great prices, Very clean Cons: Long wait on weekends, Inconsistant service

The OPH franchise is an American classic and its legendary reputation for quality is well-deserved. Sadly, the Kirkland location falls short. While Kirkland's offerings are "good," they often lack the charming, fussy touches that make the same dishes seem special at other locations. Kirkland's huge, Trucker-style coffee mugs are annoying, and the brackish coffee is an affront to OPH's widely acclaimed fine roast blend. Cups and saucers, please! The eggs here are substandard --- I like 'em poached, and on two visits they were undercooked and served cool. The toast, too, isn't up to snuff --- it's cut from small loaves one suspects are used as a cost-saving device. The Dutch Babies and Apple Pancakes are just as good as those served at other locations. No OPH can match the "original" Portland, Oregon, location, but Kirkland's rendition is a disappointment for an area whose diners are reputedly discriminating and sophisticated. Pros: casual, comfortable, ample parking Cons: poorly cooked eggs, cups, saucers please!

We had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated but the wait was worth it. The pancakes are cooked perfectly. I went with the chocolate chip ones and next time will definitely be going for the oven baked apple pancake. The portions are huge. Pros: Good Food, Inexpensive Cons: Long Waits

This is the same resturant chain that is on the top of Snoqualamie Pass and both of them are very good. They have tons of pancake choices and their breakfasts are big.

The buttermilk pancakes are the best! If you are looking for good tasting pancakes, this is your place. The apple pancake, dutch baby basically all the pastries are great! The eggs are standard and I don't eat pork, so I don't have reviews for the meats. The country potatoes are good, but not the all time best there is. The price is a little on the high side in comparison to Dennys, but with homemade food and fresh tasting creations... I pay the extra buck or two. Average breakfast is around $6. Call ahead on the weekends though Pros: pancakes, fresh OJ, Free food when waitin Cons: Long wait on weekends, slightly costly
