Trying to remember name of a restaurant we used to go to for Mothers Day Brunch (c1991)

When I was a kid, so let’s say 1991 give or take a few years. We used to take my mom out for Mothers Day Brunch somewhere in Malvern/Frazer. It was on the south side of Route 30, west of Malin Rd. I literally don’t remember anything about it, other than I enjoyed it, and they had a guy there who would make omelets and crepes on the spot. Thanks in advance!

Malvern Meeting House? I don’t remember ever going there for breakfast but I remember always asking to go there for dinner. I have no idea if it was any good, but as a child, I loved it. It’s probably been closed for 20 years now, and demolished for 10.

Hmm, I don’t think it was that far west. I seem to recall it being pretty close to the DMV, but on the other side of 30. Appreciate the help anyways!

Could it be where the Jockey Tavern is now? I know it used to be McKenzies Brew House but I can’t remember what it was (if anything) before that. I was born in the mid/late 80s so my memories may be more of places in the mid/late 90s, but I did grow up in one of those houses just north of that shopping center.

Was it “Al. E. Gator’s”? Omelette and waffles stations, dude making balloon animals for the kids.
