Great Breakfast but the parking thing is real deceptive. Its an anchor of a strip center with a sign the welcomes parking (something like parking for Pancake Pantry). I missed the whole parking meter thing until I was on the way out (its tucked in a corner) fortunately I did not get any ticket or "boot"--I guess I was there too early! Other than that potential trap, it was a great experience.
Obviously this guy and his driver did not see the sign as you walk out of the parking lot to pancake pantry. You have to go to a machine now and get a ticket. You get an hour of free parking and its for all the stores on that blocks storefront. The sign also mentions that it is out of the hands of pancake pantry and the other stores. So its not their fault. They also dont validate. I don't think its all that hard to keep track of how long you have spent in the restaurant, walk back out or have someone in your party walk back out, print another slip and replace the one in your window. geez man, really.
My name is William Heimermann. I am handicapped and am a patient at the V.A. Hospital. My appointments there are relatively frequent and, with each morning appointment, a visit to Pancake Pantry has been a tradition. I have 5 children and 19 grandchildren who have been your customers for years. My children are in the music business and often meet their business aquaintances at the Pantry.
This morning (March 31st)my driver dropped me off and proceeded to the parking lot. We had an enjoyable breakfast, as usual and when I was picked up at the front entrance, I was handed an envelope with a $15.00 parking fine.
This is ridiculous and irritating. So much so that I will not risk going to the Pantry again. I am sure that my family members and friends will also follow suit.
Oviously I will refuse to pay the fine and will welcome a small claims lawsuit
FYI: My last two receipts - 3/26/09 Record # 206
3/31/09 Record # 130
Sincerely and with regrets.

pancake pantry does not have anything to do with the parking lot. the Hills are the one that own the buliding and the lot. this should not be the reason to never again visit the pancake pantry, if so "you are ridiculous". next time if you would have noticed that there is a parking machine when you first pull in the lot then there would have never been a $15 parking ticket...so therefore you are missing out on some great food, so buddy its your loss. maybe you shoud pay more attn next time or your driver and there would not be a ticket handed to you. oh, and one more thing...there are multiple sighs informing you of having a ticket in your dash. we should support small business chains. GOOD LUCK trying to get a lawsuit considering The Pancake Pantry does not even own the parking lot:)
