"If your idea of perfect pancakes is dense, chewy, and dry, Bill 's is the perfect place for you! These are the kind of pancakes you need to cut with a knife, and once you successfully hack off a piece, after a few seconds in your mouth all your saliva will have been absorbed as you chew (and chew, and chew). Other descriptors for these pancakes ? Grainy, burnt, and crunchy. As if semolina flour was used by mistake. Light and fluffy these are not. It 's as if someone who had heard of pancakes and seen them in a photo, but never actually eaten them, was tasked with designing this recipe. The more surprising thing is that no one who actually works at Bill 's seems to have ever tried the result themselves before giving the green light to serve this to actual customers. Because surely if they had, someone would have realized the responsibility to put a stop to the effort before it got this far. The maple syrup is piled on generously, doing its very best to cover up the flavor and texture of the chewy cakes beneath, and the bacon is reasonably good. To be honest Bill 's could just remove the chew bombs beneath and serve a dish of syrup covered bacon and it 'd be a much better offering. You 'd think they would have noticed by now the massive number of pancake plates going back to the kitchen half eaten and use that as a reason to investigate a potential upgrade to the recipe like, for example, using any sort of liquid in the batter. In any case, all the staff we interacted with were extremely friendly and helpful, so we can 't fault them for that."
