The first thing you notice about Indy's Famous Pancake House, 8028 S. Emerson Avenue in the same strip mall center as Ritter's Frozen Custard, The Tailgate Bar & Grill, Mexico City Grill, The Healthy Food Cafe, and Sushi Club, is that it has a HUGE menu-- literally. It's like 10 pages of glossy 11" x 17" cards printed on both sides with lots of photographs of food. When the server came back to the table with our drinks and we told her we needed a few minutes to look at the menu, she kind of smirked when she said "I understand. It's a BIG menu!", half-chuckling at the obvious double entente.
It's a simple little place that has all the traditional breakfast and lunch dishes, but there are a bunch of Mexican-style items as well, including several desserts. They also have a number of booze drinks, including Mimosas and Bloody Marys-- perfect for that "hair of the dog" breakfast to kill a hangover, right? The Little Woman had a Ham, Egg, and Cheese Croissant sandwich and I ordered Enchiladas Suizas: Both dishes were surprisingly delicious. The croissant was so fresh, light, and flaky I thought it could be home-made, and the Enchiladas were tastier than most other Mexican restaurant dishes. They were not the kind of pastry shell I'm used to, just corn tortillas rolled and filled with chorizo, eggs, and potatoes and covered with a spicy green salsa and a white sauce that tasted like queso and sour cream combined-- YUM!
To top it off, the price of breakfast was well within the $$ range-- enough to make an old cheapskate like me cry tears of happiness... or was that the heat from the salsa? Anyway, I liked it very much. iVamanos!
