The Elvis Presley Pancakes The Xavierite
The Vegas Cafe has been serving lavish offerings to hungry customers for the past five decades. This establishment has also been one of my family’s favorites for breakfast since I was little.
Every weekend during the summer when I was a teenager, my family would stop by to get breakfast before going to the lake for the day.
This past week, my family and I decided to go to Vegas Cafe to celebrate my mother’s birthday. We got to the restaurant at exactly 7 a.m. when they opened. In the first ten minutes of our arrival, parties were waiting outside for tables.
As the families walk through the door, they are accompanied by the restaurant’s house-made soup that is freshly made each day. Everyday that they are open, they have different flavors of soup. Some include but are not limited to chicken dumpling, vegetable, and chicken noodle.
The soups that they offer are what keep my family coming back. The staff allows pick-up orders and delivery of their soups. My family has taken advantage of this perk when we have been sick in the past.
As we got our table we were astonished to see celebrities from the 50’s and 60’s. Some include Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. The artwork giving each customer time to see the history of music is always a beautiful memory to share with your party.
When we were getting ready to look at our menus, our waitresses came over to ask what we wanted to drink. The majority of their drinks are in the categories of coffee or juice. Some of their drink offers include hot chocolate, iced coffee, orange juice, and cranberry juice.
I always get the hot chocolate due to the taste of the creamy milk and fluffy whipped cream topped with chocolate chips.
As I ask my family one by one what they are going to order, many different items are listed on the menu. The pancake section is my family’s favorite, including Elvis Presley, chocolate chip, fresh blueberry, and stuffed french toast.
Along with the different varieties of pancakes, they also offer gluten-free options for everyone.
As always, I got myself the chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream on top. These pancakes have served as my number one plate at Vegas Cafe for several years. They are delicious.
When my food arrived, I was excited to take the first bite. The fluffiness of the pancakes with the rich chocolate chips. I always say that the warm syrup tops the pancakes off to add a little bit more sugar to my meal.
Additionally, on the side of the pancakes, you can choose from sausage, bacon, or hashbrowns. I have tried every side that is offered at this establishment. In this case, I would say that bacon holds up to be a fan favorite. The amount of bacon that I have on the plate with the overwhelming amount of flavor makes me want to eat more and more.
The quick service that was given to refill our drinks in time for our breakfast and when we asked to bring items to the table such as Tabasco and syrups was outstanding.
When my family and I decide to go to this establishment, I am always excited due to the experience of the food and the customer service.
I recommend trying out the Vegas Cafe restaurant. Their food is unlike other establishments and the waiters and waitresses go above and beyond to make your time there unforgettable.
