I always go at least twice when I visit my folks in LV.  I stick to the pancakes (duh), but the omlettes aren't too bad either.  The dutch baby (which my mom always orders) does take 20 minutes, so if someone else orders it, you might be in for a bit of a wait.

Breakfast!!

Nothing to WOW about.
Although their Specialty Pancakes look impressive as hell.
There is a Notice that these meals (even omelettes) may require an 18min cooking time over your basic bacon and eggs. Just an fyi.

Party of one. No counter to kick back at. Bummer.
Great service though. They are all over you, and very nice. Monica was a sweetheart.
Especially with what the servers are contending with......and you too if you come here.

Tuesday morning 10:00am. Waited only 5mins for my table.
Once seated I'm surrounded by a couple screaming kids, several folks (who remember phonebooths)  chatting away about taking their garbage cans out, or having been to Phoenix already, etc., LOUDLY.
All the while ingnoring those right in front of them? I'm finding it sad that older people have discovered public use of a cell phone too. They make loud speaking people louder.

Food is certainly worthy here. Except maybe the $3 small orange juice. Maybe even the $15 total which includes a $2 tip. And can most certainly get higher. I had a simple breakfast.

Will I come again? Probably not as a party of one. With my folks, or a "morning after" episode of a fine romance? Majority rules will have to win that one.

Give me the Mom & Pop breakfast joint any ol' time versus a place like this or similar.

But, your mileage may vary. I don't even want to think about a Sunday!

Awesome!  I love potato pancakes.  They are excellent here.  When we visited here, among other things, we got the Bacon Lover's Special.  We must have gotten half a pound of bacon!  We ended up sharing with the "older" couple next to us, who commented on how much bacon came to the table.  

Mostly locals at this joint, since it's way off the strip.

My 'original' favorite was the OPH at Green Valley Ranch in Henderson  (see: http://www.yelp.com/bi... ) but the lines are insane there and it' doesn't make much sense to drive all the way out there when my family is near Summerlin.  Thank goodness theres an excellent OPH in this part of town.
