    Polish sausage and eggs with Hash Browns and a pancake
    Kathy W.

    Perched up on a hill overlooking the 55 Freeway, Flappy Jack's is a diner loaded with 50's nostalgia and packed full of people enjoying huge breakfasts. And I'm one of those people. It's a huge menu with something for everyone. I enjoy the omelets, the polish sausage and eggs, and ordering pancakes instead of toast -- it's an option with no upcharge -- brings a huge fluffy pancake to enjoy along with your savory meal. There is a page of crepes and many gluten-free pancakes available, so this is a favorite of friends who are gluten-sensitive. I hear the burgers and sandwiches are good (that's what my husband gets) but when there are this many delicious breakfast options, why get a burger? FYI: parking can be a total pain on the weekends and the wait can be long. But the servers are lightning fast, so people are constantly being seated, which helps.

    Strawberry waffles
    Joshua S.

    Came here today for a late lunch before they closed. The food was amazing! The service was great! It's a nice small place with classic movie posters all over the wall. If you know me you know I love that kind of stuff! The food was amazing had banana pancakes and also the strawberry waffles which was truly amazing The service was great we got here a little before closing and they were able to seat us and take of us so really and truly thank you

    Always love this place! Wasn't super crowded today which was nice--there were actually spots available in the lot! Service is always wonderful! It was nice to meet my boss here and catch up while having our holiday gathering. The food was wonderful as always. My boss got the El Paso omelette and chocolate chip waffle. I went with the banana nut waffle and made it a combo with eggs and bacon. We left satisfied and with plenty of leftovers! Thank you, Flappy Jack's!

    Eggs and turkey sausage plate
    Anastasia V.

    I saw someone describe this as a "no frills" diner and yup that's accurate. Was recommended this breakfast joint by my coworker, so I decided to give it a try after work. Because I arrived at 8am on a random weekday, I didn't experience issues with parking or getting a table. The parking spots are small though. There are so many options on the menu, so I took a bit of time to decide on what to get. I ended up getting a classic eggs and turkey sausage plate, which was about $19. To be honest, the food came out and I was kinda regretting my order. It reminded me that I should've just gone home and cooked breakfast for way cheaper. The food was nothing special. The scrambled eggs weren't even fluffy. It kinda reminded me of cafeteria or hospital breakfast. I was also given my check while I was halfway into taking a bite of food and my plate was still full. I thought that was rude...

    Biscuts and Gravy!

    I used to go to the location in Glendora, CA all the time when it was there and I used to live in the IE. Now that I live in the OC and the other location is closed, this is now my go-to spot for that comfort food. Parking can be a bit tricky, and there can be a bit of a wait, so I do recommend either getting there earlier than you anticipated. Service is great, even when they're jammed packed, they are on top of all their tables, and you don't feel rushed. This place has that classic diner feel, the art, the homage to the classic actors, etc. It's homey and comfy for sure! I get different foods, on this day I got the biscuits and gravy, because that was the mood. Hit that with a bit of extra pepper, it hits the spot for sure! Hubby got a country skillet, and he was very happy with that, everything was cooked to perfection. Bonus! If you're a hot chocolate fan like I am, there are free refills on it! Wooo! So If you haven't been, once again, patience is a virtue, but it's totally worth it!

    Crispy well done waffle. Loved it!
    a.b. f.

    Pretty darn good waffles! I asked for crispy well done waffles and I got it done just right! The menu said "fresh" strawberries and the server served it with strawberries in a red sauce. When I mentioned it wad supposed to be "fresh" strawberries, he immediately took care of it! Good service, refilled my coffee many times and food was pretty good!

    Good jelly selection
    Denise W.

    Hello Fellow Yelpers Tried a new breakfast spot today. All I can say is WOW. The place is hidden next to a Chevron station on a very small street. Parking is a bit tricky, but doable. I was told this place is packed on the weekends. They have the best coffee and fluffiest pancakes I have had. Show them some love and stop by and grab some yummy food Shout out to the great wait staff Remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful Happy Yelping and follow me for more awesome reviews .

    Best diner around. I always love going here with the family. So lively all the time and our server was amazing.

    My order that I water for over an hour and a half.

    I have been to this establishment on many occasions. The food has always been delicious and I have had no issues with the quality of the food. But today was the worst experience that I have ever had there. I placed an online order at 11:30am. When I paid and got the confirmation number and time my order would be ready it said it would be ready at 12:20. My wife I I got to the restaurant at 12:08 and she was told that it would be another 10-15 more minutes. We decided to drive for a while and return. We returned at 12:30. I approached the front and asked for the status of my order. I was told that it was on its way. I continued to wait patiently as others who had placed online orders after my original time of 11:30am received their orders and walked out. I stood at the front waiting for my order for an additional 35-40 minutes after they said that it would be ready. I completely understand how busy any restaurant is or can be on Mother's Day or any holiday. But if orders are running late then they should have notified of the longer wait times for orders being placed. So in total my order took an hour an 35 minutes and it was an additional 45 minutes than was originally scheduled for. I would warn anyone who wants to eat at this establishment to make sure you are ready to wait for long periods of time to be seated and to actually have the food that you ordered delivered to your table or boxed and given to you if the orders are to go. Alexander was the host that was helping me get my order and the manager at the time I was told was Veronica. I would have spoken to her but I did not want to add any additional time to how long I had waited for my online order. This was an unfortunate experience on Mother's Day. I did see many seats available and would have probably been able to dine in if we would have just waited to be dated than ordered it online.

    Food was delicious, service was great and quick! The ambience nice and extremely busy went on a Sunday for breakfast but truly worth the value! Definitely returning soon!

    Been coming to Flappy Jack's for years now -- it's always such a great spot for breakfast if you're craving comfort food and generous portions! The servings are huge, I can never finish a plate on my own and always end up taking leftovers home. I went over the weekend and tried the German Pancake, Stuffed French Toast, Burger, and West Coast Omelette. The burger normally comes with bacon, but since I don't eat pork, I substituted turkey bacon (there's a small upcharge). Everything was delicious -- the German Pancake was my first time trying it and it was surprisingly light and fluffy, while the other pancakes are a bit heavier but always amazing. Despite being a Saturday morning, our party of seven didn't wait long to be seated, and the staff was friendly and attentive as always. Overall, a reliable, welcoming spot for hearty breakfast classics. Highly recommend!

    Came here for late breakfast with my kids and it's always such a great experience. No wait on a Friday morning and the service is always exceptional! Ambience is very family friendly. Our waitress was extremely helpful and friendly and kept the coffee pouring! I had the Monte cristo and it was very flavorful. I did not care for the pasta salad it came with. The portions are big and worth the price Great restaurant can't wait for come back .

    Flappy Jack's is one of those places that just feels like home. The atmosphere has a nostalgic, classic breakfast spot charm that's perfect for families, and it's the kind of place you look forward to returning to again and again. The menu is packed with delicious options, and the portions are generous -- definitely come hungry! Our family loved that there was something for everyone, and the kid-friendly environment made the whole meal relaxed and enjoyable. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming spot with great food and big plates that satisfy the whole family, Flappy Jack's is an easy recommendation. We left happy, full, and already thinking about what we'll order next time!

    Flappy breakfast is the best!

    Does this location still have the old owners?

    Yes! Our Orange location is still and always will be under the original ownership!

    Are you open on Christmas Day?

    No they are closed

    Does flappy jacks in Anaheim Hills take reservations?

    No it doesn't

    Are dogs allowed for outside dining?

    Not much sitting outside there is only like 2/3 tables but it looks like it should be fine.

    Are you taking reservations for Mother's Day?

    Maybe

    Do you guys have outside seating now?

    Yes, they have a covered temporary patio set up for outdoor dining.

    Do they take RSVP?

    I don't think so.

    Can I still order pickup from this location?

    No. They are completely closed until further notice.

    Any nutritional information on the food?

    I don't think so. If they did, not many would order it. It's very rich and very good to the taste. Whenever you have that combination it's best not to know cause the calorie count and fat content you s off the charts.

    Is there any vegan options? Yelp is saying they do but I'm not seeing anything.

    My husband and I are vegan and love the Cali Skillet. We order with no cheese and the egg on the side which we give to our daughter. It's filling and yummy

    Are they open on The 4th of July?

    4th

    Is there a patio area so I can bring my dog?

    Sorry, no patio area

    Do they have gluten free pancakes or waffles?

    Yes they have a gluten-free menu including pancakes and waffles the only downside is the seating time could be as much as 30 to 40 minutes

    Do they take reservations or do call ahead?

    We had tried and they said no. But they sat our group of 10 in about 20 minutes on a very busy Saturday morning.

Not great but not bad. The granddaughter loved her meal. She ate over half of the hamburger (pretty good for her age). She ate all of her fries and part of mine. The portions on the Kid's meal were generous. The added bonus were the two lollipops that came with. This meal was in a kid friendly paper bag. The price was a bit up there but that's pretty much standard at most burger places.
