Three words: Gluten free pancakes!!! When was the last time you GF-ers had those, hmm? The volume of food choices on their menu is immense. Every time I go here, there's a crowd and I am not surprised, this is the go-to breakfast spot in the Orange area. However, despite the crowd, we always get in reasonably quickly. They are used to the crowds and have a great system of crowd management. If you come here after church on Sunday though, you may wait a few. I love their cali skillet, which I always order with no cheese (I'm lactose intolerant too) and they ALWAYS get it right. read more

Food good I go for the French onion soup fantastic Our server was wonderful always checking on us Place clean. Loves the oldies playing read more

Flappy Jack's hands down has one of the best waffles. It's really hard for restaurants to make waffles crunchy the way I like it. It's always too thick and soft, or soggy with all the sauces all over it. But this place makes it perfectly crispy just like I ask. My BF also really loves his omelettes every single time. It looks thick and filled with all the goodies. The hashbrowns are also super crispy and delicious. I made a mistake of ordering the California Burger "medium well." It wasn't the best burger I've had but I guess it was on me for saying medium well (not sure why!) I don't recommend this. Try "medium" or "medium rare" if you order burgers. Morning crowds are always huge. Last time we waited about 30-40 minutes which isn't too terribly long. But this recent visit our food took 40 minutes which was the longest ever. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Flappy Jack's, so I decided to come back by today with my daughter. It's super easy to spot from the 55 Frwy, but it's a bit tricky to find. In this case, GPS is your best friend:) We arrived close to noon and the parking lot was packed. We were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait and we were seated immediately. They were busy tho, so it took a little bit for the server to come take our order, but once our order was placed, she checked on us regularly and our coffee cups never got a chance to be empty. Since I recently discovered blintzes and I saw them on their menu, I *had* to try theirs. They have several fruit compote choices, including blueberry, which sounded perfect today. I also "made it a meal" by adding eggs & sausage to balance out the sweetness of the blintzes. The presentation of Flappy Jack's blintzes was different from the first ones I had, but these were quite impressive! Seven to 8 inches long and filled with a delicate cottage cheese mixture, the balance of savory and sweet was perfect. The addition of the eggs & sausage made this quite a hearty, satisfying meal. My daughter ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, which came with choice of soup and a side. She chose the beef noodle soup, which she loved, and the chicken wrap was filled with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and a tasty dressing. She also really enjoyed this wrap. One thing for Coke fans to be aware of, Pepsi is served here. But at l least the coffee is good! I plan on being back sooner rather than later to try more of their menu items. read more

I recently visited Flappy Jack's Pancake House and had a really enjoyable breakfast experience. The restaurant has a cozy diner-style atmosphere that feels welcoming and family friendly. It's a great spot for breakfast or brunch, and the staff made the visit even better with their attentive and friendly service. The food was fresh, hearty, and very tasty. I ordered their stuffed French toast, giant pancakes, and got the chicken fried steak and eggs for my husband. The pancakes were fluffy and huge and good. The chicken fried steak was a bit dry as it was overcooked. He was so hungry that I didn't have a chance to grab a photo before he inhaled his meal. At this place, the portions were generous so we both had lots of leftovers to take home. Only downside was our waiter. She was busy but kept forgetting to refill our coffee and water. In addition, I had to ask for clean silverware but the second set was also dirty. Had to wait for clean ones and by the time I got them my food wasn't hot and was warm instead. Parking was convenient since the restaurant has its own parking area along with additional nearby shopping center parking. Overall, Flappy Jack's in Orange is a great local breakfast spot with tasty comfort food, and large portions. read more

Absolutely loved having brunch here with 2 of my work friends! Thank you to our sweet waitress Thalia and a few others who also helped us. The coffee was hot and delicious and kept refills coming. My Texas skillet was huge and delicious and my daughter loved the Monte Cristo and onion rings. Everyone went home with leftovers as well. We arrived fairly early and it was getting busy but we got right in. Thank you Flappy Jacks for a delicious brunch with friends!! read more

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. read more

Food is excellent! I ordered the bacon pancakes. My husband had the biscuits and gravy. We both loved our breakfast! The pancakes were incredibly fluffy and the bacon was extra crispy. The sweet butter and salty bacon is just out of this world! I can't wait to come back! Only thing missing is a mimosa. Service is good. They keep your coffee cup full! read more

FLAPPY JAAACK's That's the call we made when someone in my family suggested we eat here. When my daughter went to school in Orange several years ago Flappy Jack's was part of our routine. My wife and I are back in Anaheim for a couple days and we HAD to make a stop here. The place is as good as ever. Yes, it's a kitschy diner, that's part of its charm. But the real reason to eat here is the huge and wonderful breakfast (and lunch) menu. I've eaten here umpteen times and have always had something different. Today it was the Banana Nut Waffles with sides of fruit and bacon. The waffle was delicious, crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy in the center. Well worth the short drive from MickeyLand. Flap-py Jacks! Flap-py Jacks! FlappyJacks! read more

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! read more

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... read more

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! read more

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 . read more

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! read more

Love this place! This is one of our favorite breakfast places. They have a great variety of food that is consistently good. Everything I have tried I have enjoyed. The service is great. They are friendly and most of the times willing to do what they can for you. The place is decorated like a diner and they have awesome murals. Only downside is the wait. You have to go with lot of time as there's always a wait of at least 20 mins and sometimes it can go up to an hour! But trust me it's worth the wait! read more

3.5/5! I was pretty excited to try brunch here because it had so many great reviews. There was a 20 min wait on Sunday - which isn't bad at all! But when we got sat down, it took a while for a server to come by. I got the country fried steak w/well done hash browns. But they came out regular and room temperature :( the country fried steak was nothing to die for We also got bacon and eggs brekkie, corned hash (which was pretty good!) and blueberry pancakes (the blueberry spread was really good!) Service was decent, even though food temp and quantity wasn't that great. Maybe I just got the wrong thing! read more

Food was good. Of course got pancakes and bacon to share with my toddler. No frills kind of place. We were a party of 9 including one baby and one toddler. We were seated quickly and accommodated to have our stroller nearby. Our waitress was pleasant and we didn't have any issues with our food or having to ask for missing items. She was attentive and quick to take care of us. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we left satisfied. Parking can fill up fast but it seems like people are constantly coming and going. We did see several people waiting to be seated on the way out, so it seems to be a popular place. read more

Don't just drive by- stop in and be ready!! This restaurant is decorated as a diner you'd find with nostalgic decor. But that is just the beginning. Come hungry as the portions are large. But also come prepared to make a hard decision of what to choose! The menu is all tempting. Eggs, burritos, french toast, pancakes or crepes. Not easy but whatever you choose you won't be disappointed! The service is great. Someone greets you as you enter. Then promptly seated and coffee (or your drink) comes quickly. The place is crowded but never do you feel rushed or wanting in service. The servers come by but no pressure. I've not been there for lunch but that menu also looks broad and tempting. The servers all are smiling and friendly and it shows in their customer service. The food is maybe a bit pricier than a fast food place, but you do get what you pay for. Quality, good service and an overall enjoyable experience- not just a meal. Plenty of parking, easy to get in and out and convenient location read more

Solid breakfast place with a lot of variety and options! Went there with some friends recently and had a good time. The staff was attentive and on top of it and helpful. The portions are massive as well so we all ended up having leftovers. The only issue with this place is that the parking can be a nightmare during peak brunch time so I recommend either coming earlier or later. read more

Excellent breakfast place! Lots of unique items to choose from and big portions so sharing is a good idea. If you wanted to try a bunch of different things, just know that it's pricey at about $18-20 ish dollars a place plus $6 more if you want to make it a combo. Service was fast - 10 min wait on a Sunday morning for the two of us. Wait staff is friendly and attentive; large clean restaurant. read more

Due to traffic, she arrived 15 mins later, and still we had to wait for our table. 10 min wait.

First, the service is always impeccable. The food is great. It's always fresh and not canned. You know those places you go to and you feel like they're just opening a can in the back. Their salsa is homemade. I love their vegetarian omelettes. Their pancakes are awesome they taste like the best. I can just eat them with butter. That's when you know it's a good pancake because you don't need a doctor it up with syrup. You got to get here early on the weekends because it's packed and there will be a wait. But it's worth the wait if you have the time. They can accommodate big parties and small parties I notice. They have these big booths and big tables. You guys are doing a great job thanks! read more

We were sat very quickly, we arrived shortly after 1pm on a Saturday afternoon. Service was quick and friendly.
