Ancient nomads were forced to wander for miles between cracked-earth breakfast nooks, volcano-top lunch counters, and mammoth-guarded dinner mesas. Give feet a rest and enjoy all three meals under one roof with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of food and drink at Kappy’s Restaurant & Pancake House, located in Morton Grove.

Kappy’s is a long-standing eatery that has been pleasing customers for years with its belly-filling cuisine. Best known for its breakfast fare, Kappy’s churns out pancakes by the plateful, such as the lofty German pancakes ($9.25) or their kid cousin, the Dutch Baby ($7.25). Extra-thick french toast soaks up syrup surpluses ($5.50), and the classic Denver omelette ($6.80) encourages diners to vacate the pancaked plains of Europe. Kappy’s also offers up an expansive lunch and dinner menu for midday munchers. Graze on the large selection of salads ($6.95–$9.50), or play your hand with a triple-decker Ace of Clubs, topped with ham, roasted turkey, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and swiss and American cheese ($8.50). Other highlights include the house-specialty Athenian-style chicken, prepared with Plato-pleasing roasted Greek potatoes ($9.95), and the Kappy's steakburger, with its two patties, American cheese, chopped olives, and mayo, ketchup's paler cousin ($7.50, $8.50 with fries and soup).

Enjoy a steaming, physics-defying cup of bottomless coffee ($1.60) or keep thirst buds a-bloom with hot tea ($1.60) or a fresh fruit juice ($2.35–$2.85). The eye-popping portions and exceedingly friendly service at Kappy’s will satisfy tummy and soul, and the family-friendly atmosphere welcomes customers of all ages and pilot certifications.
