Our Saturday Adventure

We tried out a new (to us) brunch place named the Pfunky Griddle. I drive by this place every day to get to work and always thought it would be a neat place to try out. I had heard that it is a "do it yourself" pancake place - they also have sandwiches (some are paninis) and salads for lunch too. It's very small and was pretty busy when we went, although they were at the tail end of their breakfast crowd since it was noon. There wasn't a parking space at first so we drove around the block for options and then a spot opened up anyway.

Here is Miss K at our table - the restaurant has a homey feel with the painted walls, pictures and arrangements here and there.

The pancakes are "all you can eat" and they bring out 2 types of batter, a white unbleached flour batter and an organic whole grain type batter. One topping is included with your pancake order; additional toppings and/or special toppings are extra. Also, the side items like eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, etc. are also extra. Be careful on these and the drinks (may want to stick with water - OJ was $3 but it is a large) because otherwise the total bill can get pricey if not watching.

Here is Mr. M in the middle of making more pancakes. The one on the left has chocolate chips for a topping and the one on the right has pecans and a few blueberries (we shared our toppings around but it's just a taste on the sharing).
Anyone with younger children should be advised that the griddles in the tables are within arms' reach of a child so they will need extra supervision. Also, since the tables are small we found that we had to sometimes pass things over the griddle (can go around, we did that for shortest distance) - it's a little warm but our son said we just needed to use the "hover technique" (it's a reference from Psych).

All in all the kids gave this restaurant the thumbs up and they'd like to go again if we ever get the chance.

In case you want to try it out too, you'll find it at:

P.S. I discovered on the way out that they have an espresso machine for specialty coffees and they also started selling scones and muffins for quick pick-up....hmmm, a new place for me to stop for breakfast if needed? Sounds yummy, I'm going to try it out during next week or two.
