And it's taste very weird with a thick texture. They probably just add flour to the same mix everyday.
outside
Need I say more?
I spy a once spire!! and sure enough as I find out it it's an original hojo restaurant.. road trip memories as a kid
yes indeed the memories come flooding back as memories of stopping to eat at hojo and can see the high ceilings. seventies lattice work
Right next to our table? Disgusting. CLEAN IT UP
the front of the building
about 2001 is when it Howard Johnson left after 35 years days in took over and the pancake House came in
The whole floor was like this and worse.
the menu for the pancake house
a pancake house sign
Days Inn since 2001 but the original style building of the 1966 Howard Johnson is still there has the motor Lodge look
outside
the original 1966 restaurant what appears to be the original 1966 table chairs and floor decor has not really changed
one shift open 6 to 2 most major credit cards accepted what's interesting is the cash incentive me reflecting taking a picture of that
This looks better than the pancake house
their blueberry pancakes not mixed into the batter on top and a blueberry sauce and fresh Berry mix. and the crispy sausage links
Right above our heads? If you can afford security cameras and TVs, fix your building and clean it.
Not on the highway signs, but good clean eating!
oh yes clean facilities old though look at that vintage linoleum tile probably from 1966 LOL
look at that he can get fried bologna and even the very requested livermush.. not for this guy though. lol turkey bacon and sausage too
the kind of pancakes available waffles and the kiddos choices
the original Howard Johnson restaurant now the pancake House for years but the front of the menu

Service was friendly and quick. Food was ok to be honest but I was expecting a bit more, but in today's economy this is now the norm. The location is a rough part of West Gastonia right at the intersection on 85 and 321. So I was hoping this would be a hidden gem, but it's not. Also I'm not sure if the heat was broken or not working enough because there was a tarp up and propane heaters running in the dining room. So no I won't be back, there are better breakfast joints around. I love to support a local business but this one just is not worth it.

The people that work there are awesome. We go there just about every Sunday before church. The eggs, bacon, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy are great. The price is not to bad either.

If you want in and out with a quick breakfast this is it. Better than Waffle House but ain't no fancy place. Everything was prepared correctly and the service was great. Value was spot on.

We were excited to eat..until we turned around and saw 2 MASSIVE Cockroaches just chilling on the ground. As someone with a hobby in entomology, I was thoroughly impressed with the size of them.. they've been eating good, considering the old toast on the ground w/ a crumb trail leading to the dead bugs (crumbs included in photo). However, we DID come to dine, so I'm giving the least amount of gold stars possible. With peace & love, get someone to clean that Brady Bunch family reunion up! Servers were super sweet!

Good place to grab breakfast. I had the breakfast special which was two pancakes, grits, bacon (or sausage), and eggs. The staff were very helpful and got our order out quickly. 4 stars because the place could use a little "sprucing" up but I would definitely go back.

Place was dirty and out dated. Food was mediocre at best. Hash browns were crispy on one side, not done on the other and were like rubber when you tried to eat them. Would not go back.

Service was good. Sausage, biscuit, and pancakes were good. Rest of the food was meh. This was a HoJo 30 tears ago and most everything is still original. Kinda felt cramped in there and could use some updating.

My wife and I have been going to this place for many years about three times a month today Tuesday morning both of our breakfasts we're disgusting. Her eggs were ice cold her toast was so hot you could tell it was microwaved and my breakfast sandwich was microwave to the point that it was soaking wet and so hot you couldn't even pick it up this new cook or whoever was there this Tuesday morning not only doesn't know how to cook he or she doesn't know how to read. If I wanted a microwave breakfast sandwich I could have stayed home. The cashier didn't seem to care so we won't be coming here anymore.
