Diner Flips Out After All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Special is Cut Off

A Chicago woman who abused her “all-you-can-eat pancakes” privileges at Denny’s faces criminal charges after throwing fists and cursing at the waitress who cut her off.

Natasha West, 27, was dining with friends and enjoying the $4 pancake special at the Oak Lawn Denny’s in the 9200 block of Cicero Avenue on Nov. 6 when she was told she could not share her endless pancake stacks with her pals.

An angry West flipped out over the flapjack feedback, swore at the waitress and tried to punch her, according to police. Then the crew of cheapskates bolted without paying their bill, police said, with West punctuating her getaway by kicking the door several times.

Police were called, and officers in neighboring Hometown spotted the diners’ car. Police brought the pancake-pilfering crew back to Denny’s, and someone paid the bill.

But West, who resides in the 900 block of East 80th Street, was charged with assault and criminal damage to property.
