As you’ve probably guessed from the eatery’s name, pancakes are the highlight of the menu.

Available in a multitude of flavors, the pancakes are sure to please. And if you can’t decide which to order, go with the Sweet Potato Oatmeal Stack – it’s a customer favorite.

Another customer favorite is the Blind Special, which is a top secret special that you order blindly – hence the name.

When ordering, you can only ask one question – Is it sweet or savory? If you’re up for a bit of detective work, you can follow the eatery on Facebook, where you’ll find some tasty teasers about upcoming specials.

And if you absolutely can’t stand the suspense, you can ask what’s in it and pay $11 for the special, rather than $7, which is the price for those who take the plunge and order it blindly.

Of course, there’s more to the menu than pancakes and the Blind Special. The tasty offering includes all sorts of breakfast favorites – from eggs Benedict and breakfast burritos to quiche and corned beef hash.

Breakfast potatoes are also part of the fare – and are served with a blend of Frank’s Red Hot sauce and sour cream for dipping. The combo may sound odd at first, but it’s a huge hit among diners.
