We went to Paul's after seeing good reviews for it year after year in a local newspaper's readers poll. I tried their version of my usual favorite, potato pancakes. They were the worst restaurant potato pancakes I've ever had. They seemed like they consisted merely of regular pancake batter with a handful of hash browns thrown in - and they arrived overdone. How hard is it to pull a pancake off of a griddle before it burns? The service was also very slow, considering we were there in the afternoon, after breakfast and lunch rushes. My dining partner was also unimpressed with his food. I don't know how this got to the top of anybody's poll - ballot stuffing by employees?
