on Citysearch Oct 29, 2008I started dining here about 8 years ago and thought they were great. I recently went and they have changed so much. The pancakes have gotten so small you cannot hardly see them on your plate. The turkey sausage is... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 08, 2008<b>In Short</b><br>Founded in Oregon circa 1953, this simply-furnished spot owes its success to its creative menu and fresh ingredients. Batters are made on the premises; a special "sourdough starter" keeps... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 04, 2008Considering this place always has a line, I expected a real breakfast experience. Highest quality food, exceptional service. It had been years since I have been here (the wait is ridiculous for breakfast) but went... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 02, 2008Forget other restaurants that specialize in dinner but dabble in breakfast. The Pankcake is the place to go for breakfast (no matter the time of day). The food is great, always served warm, and the juices are fresh.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 17, 2007If you can't make it on a weekday morning, you'll have to tolerate a 30- to 45-minute wait ... but it's well worth it. This is one of those tried-and-true breakfast spots that locals love -- the bacon is crisped to... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 31, 2007A very small restaurant on Woodward Avenue and not very easy to find a parking spot. After all that, it is worth it to eat breakfast at this restaurant. Even though it is small, the overall experience is outstanding.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 13, 2006This is NOT your typical diner breakfast; it IS a place where breakfast fare is taken seriously and done with pizazz. Bacon is maple-cured and thick. The apple and German pancake are masterpieces: fluffy and chewy,... (more)

on Judys Book Nov 09, 2005This place to me offers the best movie going experience in the area. It's a small, intimate, old theater with great atmosphere. The theaters are small so you have to make sure you arrive early to get a good seat. While... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 05, 2005Birmingham 8 is an awesome movie theater in Birmingham; it is centrally located to all the shops and restaurants. It has the old school feeling as soon as you enter the local, but with all modern services and... (more)

on Judys Book Jul 25, 2005This is the sister theater to the Palladium just down the street. The Birmingham Theater has 8 screens. It is an old building that used to have 1 stage and it was renovated to a movie house. Some of the screens are small... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 23, 2002If you are eating in Birmingham, then value isn't the most important issue. But a enjoyable experience is. It is loud, service is slow, but you can get great Crepes and other specialties that are well prepared. I... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 03, 2002YES YES YES. International House of Pancakes and Original House of pancakes should not even be in the same sentence let alone comparison. Right now I am on a low carb diet but as soon as I get to my goal weight (which... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 04, 2002Looks like your standard diner when you see inside. You'll be wondering why the long line at the door until you try the food. (more)
