I tell everyone that I don't "buy pancakes" as a rule, but then I tell them Whoozits is the only place in the Antelope Valley where I will "buy pancakes". I don't know what they're doing back in that kitchen but I can guess 'cause I make great from-scratch pancakes myself (which is why I say "I don't buy pancakes"). Now IHOP is a chain so I'll go ahead and say their name but this goes for every other outlet of pancakes you can find in the AV: I've not found satisfactory pancakes at any restaurant save for those at Whoozits. I'd much rather go without hotcakes than have substandard cakes; at Whoozits I never feel my money was ill spent. That said, I still make better pancakes than Whoozits. Everything I've had at Whoozits has been great but when I start jones'n for a full-stack 'o hotcakes with syrup (warmed) and butter, I'm off to Whoozits. Service is prompt, attentive and the ambience is a shade subdued - just shy of "cheery" and that's how I like it.
