      A group of us were looking for a breakfast spot before heading to the airport and we found this one! They have an extensive menu with both sweet and savory items and we had amazing service.

      I ended up ordering the veggie scramble with egg whites which came with a side of potatoes and upgraded to blueberry flap jacks (thought to try the flap jacks since the name of the restaurant but you also had the option of toast).

      Overall I enjoyed them, wish they would've used some fresh blueberries and the Bloody Mary I had was a little stronger and spicier. I'd recommend this spot!

      Anyplace you can order mozzarella sticks off the menu for breakfast is a place that will always hold a special place in my heart. However, these MS (mozzarella sticks), kind of missed their mark. The breading was more of a fried breading which is my fave as compared to the actual breaded breading. But the cheese part of the cheese stick just felt a little flat. More gooey/runny than stringy/chewy, which always brings MS to top tier.

      My main meal was the Sunrise Special, which sets you up for the potential of meal that will get you rip roaring to start your day. In reality, this meal mostly gave me a little nudge to start my day. And not even really a heartfelt nudge. More like the kind of nudge you give your grandma when the check out line is moving and she's standing there reading the magazine headlines.

      My scrambled eggs were the type that were scrambled then spread out on the cook surface to cook before being sliced up and laid awkwardly across my plate. 4/10.

      My Spuds (cubed and fried potatoes) were decent. Salt, pepper, and ketchup go a long way here. They tried hard, I'll give them that. 5.5/10.

      My pancakes really fumbled the ball here. Visually, they looked good. But they were dense and tasted of too much flour or pancake mix or sadness. 3/10.

      I am a man of bacon. It is my spirit animal. I prefer it limp. Or floppy. Or loose. Or lightly cooked. However, I always struggle to find a restaurant to perfect the limp bacon cooking method. 5/10 on limpness.

      Place is really cute and has great views! The food was decent, but I personally think overpriced. I got the, "stuffed" French toast and it was just 2 pieces of bread put together with the filling. That's it. That was the whole meal and it was $12!

      If you're looking for a breakfast place, you should give Flap Jack Shack a chance. Their food is good, and the service is usually pretty quick too.

      We were unable to add our name to the waiting list online with a group more than 4. When we arrived we added our name and gave a phone number for them to text when our table was ready. They estimated 35 minutes but it only ended up being 15, which was great! (Once we left I overheard the hostess tell someone it was an hour and 15 minute wait)

      Our server was so so kind and I feel bad that I don't even know her name. She was so accommodating of our group of 8 (4 kids, 4 adults). All orders were correct! We did have to ask for syrup and the drinks the kids had ordered with their meals but it really wasn't a huge deal at all.

      Everything was delicious and I liked the view!

      The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I took kids to the bathroom and someone was vaping/taking up space. My guess is she knew the hostess, who was in a stall. When one of the kids I was with was done in the bathroom they washed their hands. But the hostess came out from the stall, stood for about a second and realized kids are absolutely slow as heck, so she walked out. My hope is that she washed her hands in the kitchen but I cringed each time she walked past our table with rolled silverware and menus in her hand for the rest of our time there. A great reminder to wash your hands!

      Had a delicious breakfast at the Flapjack Shack. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant's mid century modern decor is so cute and fun. Food came out fast and tasted great. Will definitely be back!

      Let me start with the good. The food was very good! We enjoyed the cherry pancakes, bacon, potato and eggs were yummy. Good coffee and mimosa.

      I would've rated it a 5 star experience had it not been for the following: I asked for a table outside. The host said I couldn't have one because there were none available (mind you I could see an open dirty table that I would've waited for). They sit me right away and 5 min later they seat someone else outside at the empty table. Then when I went to order my food I wanted an omelette but 3 egg omelettes are always too much for me so I ordered a Sunrise (you get 2 eggs ANY style) and asked for it to be a mushroom Swiss omelette. The waiter actually says because it's a special order and the kitchen is backed up it's going to take 45 minutes to make it that way. But scrambled eggs (I make eggs at home...it takes about the same amount of time to make scrambled as it is an omelette) wouldn't take that long and if I just ordered an omelette off the menu it wouldn't that long. So what is the logic in telling me it's going to take 45 minutes for something that to me isn't even a special order when an omelette is a style of cooking an egg. It was a ridiculous comment and ended up just annoying me as a customer. How is that good customer service?
