buttermilk pancakes, stewed peaches and maple syrup...5

Originally when I had this, it was served with apples. Somewhere I have a picture. So good and fluffy.

These pancakes are ginormous. You get 3 huge pancakes for $5. I recommend doing the Pick 2 for $10 and get any 2 items.

My second recommendation are the seared scallops with smoked ham, potato and hollandaise...8.50.

Get the hollandaise sauce on the side or omitted completely. Does nothing but make it all soggy.

That along with the awesome coffee served from MadCap Coffee...2, makes one awesome breakfast.

Today's special:
sweet potato waffle with sweet potato cream cheese whip, hazelnuts, and maple syrup.

If you are into a carb fest, I also highly recommend:

baked french toast with spice poached raisins and butter pecan syrup...6

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A pancake is a thin, flat cake prepared from a batter and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Most pancakes are quick breads; some use a yeast-raised or fermented batter. Most pancakes are cooked one side on a griddle and flipped partway through to cook the other side. Depending on the region, pancakes may be served at any time, with a variety of toppings or fillings including jam, fruit, syrup or meat.

Archaeological evidence suggests that varieties of pancakes are probably the earliest and most widespread types of cereal food eaten in prehistoric societies whereby dry carbohydrate-rich seed flours mixed with the available protein-rich liquids, usually milk and eggs, were baked on hot stones or in shallow earthenware pots over an open fire to form a nutritious and highly palatable foodstuff.

In the medieval and modern Christian period, especially in Britain, pancakes were made to use up store items prior to the period of Lent fasting beginning on Shrovetide.

The pancake's shape and structure varies worldwide. There are numerous variations of them throughout Europe. A crêpe is a French variety of thin pancake cooked on one or both sides in a special crepe pan to achieve a network of fine bubbles often compared to lace - a savory variety made from buckwheat is usually known as a galette. In Germany, pancakes can be made from potatoes. In Italy they can be fried and stuffed with ricotta and chocolate into what is known as a cannoli.
