Creamy Pancakes at Berts


Whenever I go to a restaurant and order the pancakes I used to find myself with that displeasurable baking soda burn in the back of my throat. I guess the baking soda is something that helps the pancakes look a little fluffier for the people but in the end it just looks good but tastes horrible. You end up having to use extra butter or syrup to hide that awful taste. My feelings changed when I had them at Berts on Main and 14th. They must throw in an extra egg or two to make their pancakes creamier, hanging dangerously on the fringe of being a crepe. Their breakfast special more than fills the void and does it in a pleasant way. The decor almost reaches that 1980's Bino style of decor using less brown scattered with random artifacts found at garage sales (It does have a rather impressive collection of Bobble heads at the front counter). The staff is friendly and the service is good but I would not go there expecting any ambience. To be truthful The Show hasn't been there for much else other than the breakfasts but the menu looks like an eclectic mix of meals that will pacify any person truckin' through town.

Rating out of 5 packets of sweet n low
Scene: 2
Grub tasted: 5 (how wrong can you be with bacon, hash and eggs over easy with their delish pancakes?)
Coffee: 2 (Utilitarian and there's always lots of it)

Purpose: quick morning show with friends or a place to just chat with little disturbance
