text: Ill be the first to admit that Orange Table in Old Town Scottsdale is probably one of my favorite places for breakfast food.  If this place is such a standout, how come Ive haven't reviewed them until now? Well it comes down to a singular word that many of you simply may not like, slow. Blowing the whistle in the first paragraph might stop many of you from reading further, but let me just say that Orange Table definitely has its merits, the tasty food.\n\nLocated a few doors down from the famous martini spot AZ88, Orange Table is quietly situated in the corner of the Scottsdale Civic Mall. Parking can sometimes be an issue in Old Town fortunately there is a large free parking structure just behind the restaurant as well as an open lot. Outside there's a large open patio that's dog friendly where I couldn't help but notice that having a dog is a great way to meet new people, dogs here are a commonality amongst the diners so feel free to bring Sparky. Inside the orange walls help to create a casual yet funky industrial feel, that reminded me of a few places Ive tried in SoCal.\n\nCorned Beef Hash ($9) is one of those dishes that can be messed up pretty easily but the OT version was spot on. Thick pieces of sliced corned beef and potato topped with your choice of 2 eggs any way you like them, over easy for me please. I love hot egg yolk flowing over pretty much anything, but on top of corned beef hash its like the best breakfast gravy. Sopping up the golden deliciousness, I couldn't help but notice how tasty the toast was, of course coming from Breadcrafters in Phoenix, you know its good.\n\nFor an Orange Table spin on the traditional Red Flannel (a New England style hash made with corned beef and beets), try the fantastic White Flannel ($10). They take their delicious corned beef, white onions, mushrooms, garlic and potatoes then spoon on sour cream and pair with 2 eggs, your choice. Creamy, salty and earthy\n\nThere is one Orange Table menu item that for me trumps all others. This might sound kind of crazy but trust me on this one order the Jalape\u00f1o Pecan Pancakes ($10). Fluffy light pancakes with sliced jalape\u00f1os and pecans mixed in, one bite and you'll understand completely. The chile isn't spicy but the flavors are bold with a textural crunch from the pecans all finished with a lightly sweet pan syrup. When you order these you also get your choice of breakfast meat including bacon, ham or sausage. I love the taste of good sausage paired up with pancakes, so when the 2 thick meaty shafts arrived I couldn't wait to try one. As I bit down some of the meat juices sprayed into my mouth giving hints of sage and pepper, could have ate an entire plate.\n\nOn my last visit the speed of the service was much improved, but then it was also 9am on a Sunday morning. Once the rush hits you might be waiting quite a while for your food, though drinks come out pretty quick.\n\nIf you're in a hurry Orange Table might not be the place for you but if you don't mind a little waiting, the payoffs are almost worth the wait.
