The Original Pancake Kitchen

Went in for brunch. The hash browns, sausages and waffles 🧇 are nice. The surrounding is a bit noisy as there were a large group of peeps have family time. This is everyone’s freedom but still noisy. The tableware 🍴tray on the tables are empty. In addition, I am not really a big fan of the ice cream in the ice coffee, too rich to go with the coffee. Would give a 3/5. But just learn that they open 24 hours everyday. I would give them an extra star.

With such a large menu I think they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. So so many of the items on the menu were unavailable - personally I had to go to my FIFTH option. Other members of our group also had to choose again (not even the same meals as me). Half our group received their meal and were finished before the second half received their food. Some items never turned up (we were refunded for these). The 2 people at the table next to us ordered just after us and still hadn’t received a single dish by the time we left. One person asked for a steak cooked medium - the photo is after it had already been taken back and once to be recooked and yet still came back bloody. Don’t offer steaks if you can’t cook them. I specified allergies and my meal still included those allergens (even after having confirmed with staff that it was doable without). In a group of 8 only 2 people received the correct order with nothing missing or wrong. Not a good enough %. Staff were rude and service was slow. there were so many problems that should not have happened in the first place and made the experience unpleasant for the whole group.

The waffles are the best (sorry I didn’t even try their pancakes)! My friend who is 73yos told me that she went to there when she was a teenager. It should be soooo good to operating for so many years. I am on a diet and tried to lose weight but these waffles are just tasty and no burden on my calories sheet.

This is the best 24 x 7 place to be in Adelaide when you're hungry and want some comfort food. The German feast is amazing, the coffee is good and when you're feeling that sweet tooth, try the Russian Blintz with ice cream. This was my go to place since the uni days and has never disappointed me. However, it is next to Hindley Street and gets a bit shady on weekend nights sometimes.

Had a really good experience the other day. I was going to go for the ribs but because we had limited time I got the chicken ceased salad… and BOY WAS I SURPRISED. It was delicious, it was a generous serving and it was perfectly balanced as all things should be. My wife had an IT which I sampled and that was also great.
