Today I started off my Saturday right with a great cardio workout. I have been craving some cardio after being stuck at my house because of the crazy weather. I couldn't decided what piece of cardio equipment I wanted to use so I referred back to one of my favorite workouts from Fitness Magazine - Burn 400 Calories without Getting Bored. After I finished this workout I was in such a good mood and couldn't wait for my breakfast date with Tassoula.
Over a week ago, Tassoula and I decided that we wanted to schedule a breakfast date. So we decided to meet half way in Kirkland and try 'The Original Pancake House.' I have actually heard a lot of good things about this place so I was super excited to stuff my face with some pancakes.
We were seated immediately on a Saturday at 10am which was great. As we walked in it was a very similar feel to an IHOP. The service was nice but not extremely friendly and/or attentive, which was fine because Tassoula and I just talk talk talk. As we looked over the menu we were both sold on pancakes... naturally. I ordered the half (3 pancakes) order of the blueberry pancakes with a side of potatoes and Tassoula ordered the bacon pancakes with the same side. As we were catching up we kept getting distracted by the size of the orders that were coming out. I mean the omelets and dutch babies were the size a an entire plate. At this place you are definitely getting your monies worth.
My blueberry pancakes and potatoes were delish! The order was just so ginormous, I would recommend doing family style and just sharing everything. I ate about half of my pancakes and half of my potatoes. :)
My experience was good and perfect for my laid back mood! I would recommend this spot to families, the hungover crowd and anyone who just wants a good old fashioned breakfast.
Service: The service is friendly but you definitely aren't paying to be pampered by your staff.
Food: The breakfast was good and the food comes out really quickly!
Atmosphere: Laid back and homey!
Price: GREAT... ginormous servings that are very affordable. I spent under $15 on my order which is something you can never complain about. :)
It was great to catch up with my favorite foodie Tassoula. It is so great to have a friend that loves trying all types of food places. I love you Tassoula.
Sweetie, I love you too! Here's to a gozillion more wonderful dates in 2012. ;)
