Pancakes bigger than your head!
My husband and I first went to the CPH in 2001 when we went to visit a high school friend of mine. At least once or twice a year since then, we have made a conscious effort to return to this Breakfast Mecca of Ridgewood. My husband (who, let me tell you, is an EATER) is unable to finish even ONE of the two large pancakes. (Of course, he can't resist the chocolate chip cornbread starter or the home fries on the side...) I personally love the fruit options, for both the pancakes and the waffles. They are willing to make substitutions if you don't see a combination that you like in the over-100 choices on the menu. My recommendation: if you're very hungry, go ahead and go for the 2 large. If you want a nice-sized breakfast, go for the 4 silver-dollars. If your goal is to finish the 2 large, then get buttermilk only. (No fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips!) By the way... I hear rumors of a single, table-sized pancake... unheard of! Don't be scared off by the crowds at the door... it's that good. Definitely worth the wait.

Incredible
Being from around the Ridgewood area I have eaten here many times and it seems like the food here just keeps getting better and better everytime I go. There is every type of pancake and breakfast dish imaginable. If you want something and it is not there, pat yourself on the back and call yourself "Unique" and "Different."

Rubba dub dub...
When I saw the monstrous proportions, my first thought that came to mind was... are they trying to compensate for something... like the taste... But I was wrong. It was magnificent. I know that I am an average Joe... hence my name but you can't get something like this and feel like it was worth it.

Monstrous portions!
I ordered the lemon, poppy-seed pancakes, and they were delicious. My portion could have served a family of four, but they reheat well so I did not mind. The fresh squeezed apple juice was also very good. I would discourage someone from ordering the eggs because the portion is so large. The fresh baked cornbread on the table was a nice surprise, and it was not too sweet. Definitely get there early for breakfast on the weekends.
