"Our family decided to go to Donald’s pancake house so we met them there since it was our first visit to this particular pancake house. It was a big group of us about 13 people and we were all accommodated (they have bar seating, tables and booth seating). Due to the size of our party we did have a wait but it wasn’t that bad. The hostess had a great personality and seated as soon as possible. The service was really nice and the server was nice and very helpful as well. The food came out fairly quickly and correctly considering our party size. I ordered the Donald’s breakfast and my fiance ordered the steak and eggs and we both really enjoyed our meals. Everything was perfect for us, so much so that the two of us went back again the next day for brunch and it was even better not having been in a big party. The bathrooms are clean but really small, the door is literally in front of the sink so if someone is washing their hands they have to go in a stall or come out the bathroom for someone else to go in (there’s two stalls). Other than that, it was really nice and we would go back!"
