Got our table right away on a Tuesday morning. Food was just as good as last time we were here in 2021. If NOT, then better. Good portions were extremely huge for the buck, had to take (basically a full meal) to go.

I love Aunt Emma’s. Pancakes are amazing! Go with an empty stomach ready to eat. Large portions and good tasting food. The waiter gave me a dirty mug for my tea. After making him aware the cup was replace.
