Review

Nothing from the griddle says lovin' like a pancake, and Farmer John's has oh-so-many ways to fall in love: crepes with Grand Marnier sauce, buttermilk plain or topped with pecans, blueberries, fresh apples and cinnamon and powdered sugar. The height of luxury is an oven-baked apple pancake, an inch-tall affair that looks more like a coffee cake. There's also a full selection of breakfast fare, including great home fries and raisin bread. Plus sandwichey specialty, it serves eggs, omelets, pancakes, waffles and crepes as well as sandwiches and salads, spiced from Italian to Cajun. It draws a big-city line Sunday mornings in downtown Tampa and crowds anywhere it opens.

We love this restaurant. We take all our out-to-towners to it.

Farmer John's has recently changed hands and they stopped making the apple pancake which was the reason my husband and I and our family and friends used to travel 30 mins to eat! How disappointed we were to see all the other menu items there except the best apple pancake ever! We first read about it in your weekend review. My husband had not had an apple pancake like that since his childhood in Indiana. Please ask them to bring it back. I think many others feel the same way as we do. Thanks!
