When
we arrived, every seat was taken. We were crossing our fingers that by
the time our food came out (you place your order at the counter and they bring your order out to you), we will have found a table to sit on. Luck was on our side and we found a table minutes before the food arrived.
DH
ordered the P & W Special omelette, which was recommended by the
cashier as one of the most popular items on the menu. It had ham,
portuguese sausage, bacon, tomato, onion, bell pepper, mushroom, potato, cheese, and hollandaise
sauce. Basically, it is like the "supreme" omelette. DH liked it,
although he said that the pieces of potato were too large. But
otherwise, it was good.
My friend ordered the Vinha D'alhos (Portuguese meat dish) plate lunch ($7.95). The fried rice was $1.50 extra. I didn't try this, but DH said it was dry. I sampled some of the fried rice - it was ok but nothing special.
Our other friend ordered the Eggs Benedict ($7.50). I did not try this one either since I am not a big fan of eggs benedict, but my friend seemed to like it.
Here's
what I came for - the fried chicken and waffle plate ($7.95). I had
read in the paper that the owner got the idea from Roscoe's, a famous
restaurant in Los Angeles known for their fried chicken and waffle
combos. Luck was again on our side because we got the last order of
fried chicken. I asked for the gravy on the side and ended up not even
touching it. I like my fried chicken without gravy and my pancakes with
just butter and syrup.
This plate comes with 3 huge pieces of fried chicken - a generous
serving for one person. The fried chicken was moist and crispy. The
waffle was also tasty.
The menu at Pancakes and Waffles is extensive
- choose between pancakes, omelettes, eggs benedicts, waffles, french
toasts, crepes, meat & eggs, sandwiches, burgers, plate lunches,
salads, and side orders (fried chicken is $1.95 per piece).
I will definitely head back there soon to try the waffle ice cream, pancakes, and the crepes.
