Chain or not, Original Pancake House is awesome. One of the best omelettes I've ever had.
Was at the roost from 8 till 9. coffee cake was great as was their homemade corned beef hash. Thanks for recommending it.
Late to the party, but Bub's Cafe in Carmel has awesome breakfast. You can also get the Big Stack, which is 12 plate-sized pancakes (no exaggeration - they're huge!) for $39.

And for only $3.00 more you can make the Chocolate Chip Pancakes....
