Erin, our waitress was so friendly, she got everything we need to enjoy our meal without out us needing to ask. We received everything hot and ready to eat. The meal was amazing we tried the baked pecan, asparagus scramble, as well as the Dutch baby. ( which is a similar recipe to one that I made in my junior high home ect class when I was a kid) really brought back memories and created new ones all at the same time. If you are looking for a memorable dining experience of your own I highly recommend this place, you won't leave here with an empty stomach or heart. Thanks to all the Staff for making our outings So happy and pleasant
Great place to have breakfast. The chilaquiles were very good. Waffle came with fresh strawberries and the egg white scrambled we had was very good aswell. Will be coming back. Our server was also very good.
Our family favorite place to go. Went in there for brunch. Staff is very friendly. Always welcoming. This time i tried Spinach Crepe- my first time. It was yummy. I love spicy food, But they sprinkled paprika for me on top. It is served with potato pancakes. Which was a win too. At Friday noon it was not crowded and no wait. Ambiance - good, spacious booths. Very clean. Not very loud.
Our friend Annie told us to jump in the car and she kidnapped us to Richard Walker's. There was an inordinate amount anxiety over the German Pancake. We were cautiously excited to try it. We were seated quickly on a late Friday morning. Our server, Martin, was waiting at our table and quickly took our drink order. By the time we got comfortable, our drinks were on the table. Martin was respectful of the fact that we wanted to continue our conversation with Annie and politely interrupted us to ask if we were ready to order. We decided to get a few different items and sample each. The German pancake is like a thin bread pudding. It looks like an empty deep dish pizza with a dusting of powdered sugar. I tried a small piece and fell in love! It had a subtle sweetness and we squeezed some lemon juice on the whole pancake which gave us a contrasting bitterness. It was perfect. We drizzled some syrup and each took a piece. It was delicious. We also had the original Eggs Benedict, Sausage gravy with scrambled eggs, and hashbrowns smothered in onions and cheese. Everything was amazing and the service was top-notch!
Rich food and service I visited there first time but had good experience. Coffee was perfect according to my taste I ordered California wrap and fresh kaiser roll . French fries that came with California wrap were too good. Even Hash Browns were so crispy and tasty. Food was well cooked. Everything was fresh and yummy. Restaurant was well decorated as Christmas look. Sevice was good. No wait for seating . Quality and quantity was worth its price. Highly recommended and visit it again with family and friends.
Ordered pickup through DoorDash store front via Google. They packaged all toppings separately which kept the pancakes from getting soggy. The order was ready for pickup 10 minutes early which had me worried the food would be cold (I live 20 minutes away). Fortunately, the food was still warm and fresh even after driving back home. Gluten free--and peanut free--pancakes are delicious (a full order comes with six). They actually taste like traditional buttermilk pancakes. French toast was supposed to have whipped cream but maybe it doesn't travel well. We just added our own.
Ok so the service is always good here. The food normally fantastic. We got a Dutch baby but the big one. I think German pancake?? So good it is always perfect here. We also ordered the apple pancake this one was burnt. The third meal with a fried steak with hash browns eggs and pancakes. A side of bacon. The bacon is always good nice and thick definitely not the bacon we eat at home. Even my kids were like this is so good. The steak was fantastic and the gravy spot on. The staff here is phenomenal. Definitely worth a try
A very cute American breakfast place. The decor was festive and inviting. The food was very tasty and as a vegan, was happily surprised that they have vegan eggs and I was able to "veganaize" most dishes. The only complaint, they seemed short staffed but the waiter/host really picked up the pace.
