  Breakfast! The most important meal of the day and definitely the best breakfast I had during my few days in Kalamazoo. Uncle Ernie's is a classic breakfast joint with a brief menu that has all the breakfast items and a few lunch items. Stick with the classics and you'll have a great meal.
  
  I chose the "Hunter's Omelet" which was well stuffed with sausage and ham and bacon and mushrooms and cheese. With sliced tomatoes on the side instead of home fries and hold the toast, my keto diet remained in good shape.
  
  Plenty of good coffee, too.
  
  I arrived just after a big to go order so my meal did take a bit to be prepared. That's not the fault of the young lady who was hustling tables and also preparing this big stack of styrofoam boxes by herself until another waitperson arrived to help. Patience is the way to go.
  
  I enjoyed my breakfast and I would definitely eat at Uncle Ernie's again.

  I've been wanting to check this place out for quite sometime! Service was excellent and the restaurant was cute and friendly inside. Looked like quite a few people are regulars there which is always nice to see.
  
  I ordered the corned beef hash and asked the difference between the half and full order. The server said it's only an extra dollar and twice as much food for the full so I got that. I love corned beef hash- and homemade is every better. The corned beef itself was great- has a smoky flavor and was very tender and juicy. But, there were a lot of hash browns, I mean a LOT! In my mind it needed either more corned beef, or about half the amount of hash browns to go with it.
  
  Also I found it strange that they offered canned corned beef hash as well. Why have both?? My kids liked that option though!

  My family came here with family friends. We had 8 people and got seated pretty quickly! Their menu is the perfect size, just enough to pick from!
  
  They have an amazing breakfast menu! I got the pancake platter, comes with 2 fluffy buttermilk pancakes, 2 eggs (your way) and your choice of meat (ham, bacon, sausage links or patties) I got links, and every single thing was delicious!
  
  My husband got the biscuits and gravy and a side of hash browns! I tasted them and they were so good, they tasted like mine! Homemade lol and that's a compliment. My oldest got the chocolate chip pancakes, they were gone so fast. He loved them. My middle got the pancake platter also, the look on his face when he saw the size of his pancakes was priceless  my daughter got the junior French toast! Looked so good lol
  
  The whole atmosphere was relaxed and felt like you were having breakfast with the family! Very comfortable and the waitress was on it, not a cup dry! She was very sweet and polite !
  
  We will definitely be back!!!

  I love breakfast food so when a coworker mentioned, Uncle Ernie's Pancake House I had to try it for myself.
  I got the pancakes that came with the Cabin Fever Omelet. The omelet was good but the pancakes were my favorite. They were soft and easy to cut into, they were delicious. They could easy compare them too Crackle Barrels pancakes which are my absolute favorite. They also brought out hot syrup and the butter they come with is whipped for an easy spread.
  For two people the bill was also only $18 which is considerably cheap!
