A must to visit!. I had been waiting to go to this place for a long time and was not disappointed one bit! The food was amazing and the portions….OMGosh….were they huge! Even if you go starving you will definitely leave with leftovers. Lewis was our server and he was so nice and made the evening even better. I can’t wait to go back for some more yummy food and to say hi to Lewis!

Perfect for the Hummer drivers of San Diego.. excessive portions, wait times, and prices. the food is good. so what? does that justify waiting 45 minutes to get a table for 2 for a weekend brunch, and spending $11 for a pancake? Why is the pancake so expensive? Is it made with rare or organic ingredients? no, it's just enormous. The editorial review says it right there - BEHEMOTH portions. What is wrong with people? Large is fine. But BEHEMOTH? no thanks. I could have gone to Denny's and ate a normal pancake of comparable qulaity for $5.50, then threw another pancake in the garbage for $5.50. Brunch for 2, no mimosas or anything, came to over $50. literally, what a waste.

fun & huge portions. The portions here are huge (think italian family dining portions, only it's a serving for ONE here). This place is really busy and is best known for their breakfast items. Their pancakes are the size of manhole covers (not exaggerating). Cute place, good for groups (make reservations for more than 4), and pretty decent service.

Not sure if it's worth the wait. One of the first weekends my wife and I lived in San Diego, we heard rave reviews of this place for breakfast. Having dined there, I'm not sure if we would ever go back. We were warned to get their early (especially on Sundays) otherwise be prepared to wait. We got there at about 10am, and had about an hour plus wait. When we finally got seated, we were fairly disappointed by the service. Considering we had waited so long, the least the place could have done was be attentive to our needs. This was not the case. The food itself was pretty decent, with HUGE portions for sure. Of course, you would expect huge portions when you're playing 15-20 per dish. All in all, I don't think I would go back. It's too crowded, the service is inadequate, and it's more of a place to be seen, rather than to eat.
