My girlfriend chose this place for breakfast. Excellent choice! The food was awesome, but the pancakes...WOW! Melted in my mouth. Service was outstanding! Looking around while waiting for our meals, i began to notice large photos on the walls with familiar faces. JFK, Shirley Temple, Richard Nixon, Harry Truman...all photos taken years ago within 5 miles of the restaurant. I... More

Almost always a wait, but generally worth 5-10 minutes. Really wide selection of menu items, with the star at breakfast being the Apple Pancake. One is enough for two people. Pleasant service, and very kid-friendly, although there are lots of seniors as well. We've never had a bad meal. More

A basic inexpensive cafeteria style restraunt. Large portions and delicious food. Their menu has many choices and all are good. The staff is fun and friendly. A favorite with locals. An excellent value! More

We couldn't decide where to go for breakfast one morning while staying in Palm Springs... We drove by Cheeky's which had an insanely long line to wait for a table... we were using the Yelp! app to try and find something else in the area that wouldn't take so long - as we were trying to get to Coachella in...

I live within walking distance of this place.... and all my friends who come to visit require a walk there at least once during their stay. The food is ample in portion and consistently good in quality... the german pancake is always a winner.... there is a reason the line gets long on the weekends... it is worth it More
