The Original Pancake House

We had breakfast at the Pembina location. Our food was good for the most part. Toast was burnt and the burnt sides hidden. Our eggs over done and over done. My coffee cup came with lips stick on it. With this pandemic not acceptable. We look under the table to find the previous customers used napkins. I went up to our server to get our concerns addressed. The manager was not available. Our server was the supervisor on duty. She did not take responsibility for any of our concerns. Just had excuses.

Weather was crappy so it wasn’t very busy at dinner time. Service was quick. She was very patient with our little guy who never shuts up and let us order his right away so he could have food ASAP. Ordered French toast for him, eggs Benedict and the super giant breakfast. His came in about three minutes flat. Ours only took a few minutes more. All was delicious. Quick on offering refills on drinks and coffee. Worth the drive.

There are several 'houses' in Winnipeg, and this time we went to the one on Pembina, just south of the Jubilee underpass on a Saturday just before noon. It's been there since I was a little boy and hasn't changed much. A nice dependable place, always a good choice for a nice breakfast. There was three of us and we decided to try something different than the usual eggs taters and toast, or pancakes. It was not the best decision I've made, the food was okay, but I wasn't all that impressed with it. Might be because it wasn't what I was used to there that biased my view. The service and speed were impressive, always a full cup of coffee and glasses of ice water. The place was not too busy and we drank coffee and talked for a while after we finished eating and they just kept refilling the coffee cups, never felt rushed to pay and leave.

Thank you Pancake House for a truly delicious lunch! I enjoyed my Turkey Club Sandwich 😋 and my friend had delicious Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. We both enjoyed the meal greatly, and the service was speedy and friendly. This my first time ever at a Pancake House, and I look forward to returning to try other delicious items that were on the menu.
