Reviews for Purple Cow House of Pancakes in Fairfield, ME

I came here late Sunday morning based on the reviews and it was, at best, under mediocre. I completely understand that it?s the... busiest time of the week to come, but what I don?t understand is why change the restaurant sitting protocol that is establishedat every single normal restaurant. Just to not have anyone address it is mind blowing. By reading other reviews too it isn?tvery obvious unless you?ve been here before. Once the order was placed it took a long time to get the food. The hash was goodbut the French toast (pictured) was horrible. Just sugar and collapsing in your mouth and not in a good way. Very clearly thestrawberries were frozen so it was weird to have hot French toast, ice cold strawberries and room temp syrup with melting semicold whipped cream. Poor quality, not cheap, and very slow. I will not be returning. Read more

My friend a year ago took me here on recommendation that it was yummy and delicious. It was, then. I wanted to show my family... what a great time and food I had last time. I couldn't tell you if was delicious this time . I have worked in restaurantbusiness for 20 years and I do now . I understand there is short staffing and busy over worked kitchen.s I walk in ( maybebecause I'm not a local I don't understand) didn't get greeted by the several workers that caught my eye...I finally asked do Ijust sit down, yes I saw the cow that says that but I didn't see any tables open so was not sure. We sat down waited for menus aserver came over took drink orders in a reasonable time. A different Server also asked if we were ready, sadly we weren't so Iget it , other things to do . So the third person came and took our order, was nice. We waited for 20 minutes, no one came tocheck on anything. My partner needed a coffee refill and I had asked after the 20 minutes. She filled up tables around us butnot us. After 10 more minutes we walked out. I understand post pandemic problems , communication would of been nice. Tell us akitchen guy called out or tell us I forgot to put the order in . Something Read more

Probably the best corned beef hash I?ve ever had! Huge portions, friendly service and so tasty!

The only way my breakfast here could have gotten any better, was if the waitress say on my lap and fed me my meal. Really good... food, generous portions and reasonable prices. The staff was under a lot of pressure that day and they did great. Overall,looking forward to the next visit. Read more

Breakfast was great, portions were good size too! Our blueberry pancakes were dry and a little well done but definitely edible,... they were huge too! Good value for the food. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. If we?re ever in the area, we?lldefinitely stop in again. Read more

Great service, very friendly staff and excellent food. This restaurant is a quick stop off the I95 and easily accessible. All... our food was very tasty especially the home made corned beef hash. The pancakes were delicious and are the size of a largedinner plate. Homemade muffins and biscuits were very good as well. Read more
