Richard Walker's Pancake House
There are only so many ways you can screw up breakfast. But believe it or not, so many establishments overlook these simple concepts. Richard Walker, on the other hand, takes a purebread approach to breakfast where he essentially goes to the edge on taste, but never takes away from the natural qualities of life’s most important meal. At first, I was apprehensive upon choosing this as a destination for breakfast this morning, based on other reviews I had been subjected to on yelp. However, I have since been there enough times to know that a good breakfast might have to slam itself on some yelpers’ head for them not to fully comprehend the necessities of a quality meal. In retrospect, it was almost as if the same people who deterred me away for a few months, might have had a serious chip on their shoulder…The service was excellent, the food impeccable, the ambiance extraordinary…and it really equates the point that anytime you deal with the public, some people will be happy all the time, and some never. I felt pretty good with a great meal and the memories I created there, which is plenty enough to keep me coming back and stand the test of time. Well done sir, don’t let the naysayers ruffle your feathers…keep on keeping on, and I will keep on coming back. You just keep the coffee hot and the food tasty, deal?— November 19, 2008 10:21 p.m.
