I listed this as a Classy Joint but it is not that fancy, it is just a step up from the average place and it can be pricy if you are not careful. However, the combo specials are reasonably priced--$6.75 for 2 eggs, 3 buttermilk pancakes, and bacon, sausage, or canadian bacon(!). Quality is outstanding, the poached eggs are the best anywhere. The regular pancakes are thin and flavorful, not giant and spongelike, and the real butter and thin sweet syrup are top notch. The coffee is not my favorite, a little bitter, but they provide real heavy cream on the side, very nice. Service is good too. Get there early on weekends and remember they close at 2PM.
