    Caramel banana, chocolate pancake! Delicious!
    Gerry B.

    Great neighborhood gem! We've been several times already! and I keep wanting to go back to try all the dishes. The food tastes great and presentation matches the menu photos. Every staff memeber we've experienced are friendly, [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a large patio and plenty of outddoor seating most of the tables and seats are spread out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The biggest fav and plug is it's dog friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But my only request is to better keep the ground cleaner. 2nd time I noticed the ground had debris and looked dirty, therefore I don't care to leave my pup on the ground in some areas[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    Eggs Benedict
    Brian P.

    Visually perfect. See attached. So misleading. Chicken very over fried, meat hard to discern from dry bones. Special syrup so sweet it was inedible. Made me think abt how good the chicken and waffles are at yardbird. If this is the thought running thru my mind at Flipper's... not a good sign. The husband, of his eggs benny, said "the egg, ham, salad, etc. was delicious, but pancake base is v dry. The hollandaise, not the biggest fan. Tastes v off." I will never, ever be back.

    Bacon, Sausage, Hashbrowns, Maple Butter Pancake
    Aslan T.

    Surprised that there wasn't a wait for a Friday. We ordered and everything came out in a timely manner. All the sides were really good (especially the hashbrowns), the pancakes on the other hand were okay. I've had soufflé pancakes before at another restaurant and I feel like I was basing my idea on how it would taste on those pancakes. These pancakes were moist and didn't really have flavor so I didn't really like them. The maple butter is different but I think I can do without

    Welcome to Flipper's. #Fairfax #Hollywood

    I would not wish any breakfast companion in the world but you. Without further delay let's begin this spectacular review. Flipper's is a popular local breakfast spot in WeHo that offer a breadth of items. It is located in a tiny plaza on Fairfax avenue. From Japanese style soufflé pancakes to chicken 'n waffle to burgers and fries and toasts etc. We came as first time customer and arrived on a late sunny morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its exterior bldg has a vibrant yellow that really stands out on the street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior and exterior atmosphere were relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a Fruit Pancakes and OJ. Both were absolutely delightful. Pancakes were soft and fluffy and its fruits were fresh as well as my OJ. A young white female staff was affable and warm. Service was spot on albeit depends on what you order. For instance, soufflé pancakes take ~20 mins to make. It's just how they're made. Prices were fairly marked. Parking lot and street metered parking are available. Collectively, it is a nice little breakfast spot with instagramable food. ;D Lol. Overall, I bloody enjoyed their pancakes! I recommend them.

    Strawberry Soufflé Pancake

    The soufflé pancakes are such a yummy delicacy! I came as a solo diner and got seated immediately at the bar. My pancakes were ready in a shorter time than my waitress expected which was a nice treat. I was given maple syrup but honestly these are great without any syrup so I didn't even need it! My onlyyyy critique is that the chicken i ordered on the side was meh. Overcooked and tough chicken bites that were hard to eat. I could've gone without ordering the chicken bites. But the soufflé pancakes were great!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food and vibe was top notch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated immediately as we arrived to our reservation. Parking was bit tedious as I had to park a block away, but the restaurant is located in a plaza with some of its own parking. Our server was fantastic and accommodating. Our food came to us exactly as we ordered and in a timely manner. We also got a side of chicken and breakfast potatoes afterward and it was delicious. I would definitely return, my friend and I will definitely be returning and recommending Flipper's to our friends and family. Thank you for the amazing breakfast!!

    I had a nice brunch at Flippers. Sat outside and the vibe was really laid back classic brunch place. They are most known for their fluffy pancakes, but I was in more of a savory mood so I got their mushroom, spinach, & cheese omelette with toast, bacon, and hashbrowns. The eggs were super fluffy. Loved the hashbrowns they were extremely crispy just the way I like them. I asked for the bacon well done which they also honored and I appreciated that. Service was a bit slow and inattentive. One of our orders came late and did not arrive until we asked our waitress to check on it for us. But despite that still had a yummy meal. Would come back again for a small group brunch. Next time, I would definitely come with a sweet craving and try one of their fluffy pancakes!

    Absolute charmer. Wonderful variety and tastes are found at Flipper's. We thought to come in for the lemon-ricotta pancakes, but ended up going in a different direction. How Hollywood. Technically, this is West Hollywood, but wherever you map it, Flipper's is definitely worth visiting. The mushroom spinach cheese omelette has many ways to customize: pick a protein plus a few other options, and you're set. The lox was a slight upcharge, but man, they loaded it up nicely. This is one packed, flavorful omelet. Recommend the home fries, too (or choose salad). Homefries have a bit of a kick: they are cubed, not greasy, and a great complement to the omelette. Sourdough toast to round things out. A ton of food for $18. Note on the coffee: Bottomless, and really good. I swear there were maple syrup notes to the black coffee. How pompous to say, fine. Still, that flavor was subtle (maybe even subliminal), and had a special quality to it. Also tried the Chicken and Waffles. Big win. The dark meat is moist and covered in a crispy breaded layer that is delicious and very easy to eat. Love the maple butter syrup, and the house special: whipped strawberry butter. I thought both of those additions (served on the side) would be too much for me, but I really liked them both. If that doesn't suit, you, each table has its own regular maple syrup. A ton of food for $20. The waffles are served kind of soft - almost cakey. Though flavorful, I prefer a bit of a crunch to my waffles, but no complaints. And, since I took home almost half of my order, they got some crunch when warmed in the toaster. For scientific purposes, we tried an order of their soufflé pancakes. Officially, Flipper's Pancake. Lovely, eggy, light and a tad sweet. Yum. Though there are many other varieties available (such as Fresh Fruit or Macha et al), I wanted to get a baseline first - and it was delicious. The whipped cream served with is a cozy complement that is so good. They fall apart easily (use the recommended two-fork method). Service was great. Outside is preferable as you're far enough from the street, and the air is good. Inside seems a bit loud, and it bit too cozy. Nice tunes playing on the patio, just loud enough to still have a conversation. A handful of parking spots off Fairfax on premises. Or, street parking. So happy to find Flipper's! 4.5 Stars.

    The best soufflé pancakes outside of Japan! Such an excellent breakfast spot -- it's well worth the drive to Fairfax from LAX. You can't beat the flavor and consistency of these pancakes. The restaurant has a bright yellow theme, with both indoor and outdoor seating, makes the whole experience feel cheerful and lively. Service can be a bit slow since the pancakes take about 20 minutes to prepare, but they're absolutely worth the wait!

    We sat outside in the patio as the restaurant is on the smaller side. I missed the soufflé pancakes in Japan and these were soooo yummy 10/10 for sure! I literally ate everything on my plate! The cream is just enough sweetener for the pancakes no syrup needed! Fresh fruit and tadaaaa! My sister n-law had the egg Benedict and she dates it as 10/10. A hot pot of tea and cold coffee to the order and done deal! Everything was perfect! I highly recommend to park around the area and walk as there is limited parking space in the restaurant. We went after the whole morning rush so it was nice and sunny not too crowded. A must try for sure!!!

    Strawberry Banana Pancake
    Catelin D.

    My impression of the soufflé style pancakes is that they are quite eggy. Nonetheless, I'm happy to bring guests around to get the experience of trying it. The patio is very quaint and cute, but can lend itself to privacy. Ideal. Finally a place that serves a reasonable quantity of bacon as a side! The servers came around at good intervals.

    Could be better- 2 stars for service because we were the only ones in the restaurant. Felt like we were an inconvenience. Had to wave them down for attention. Chicken & waffles: there was a hair on the waffle. I didn't say anything because the three workers were standing around chatting, so I moved it aside. Chicken was crispy. Croque madam: pesto chicken with the bechy sauce was good. We had a the side of fries that were truffle "oil" but you could barely taste the truffle. Very underwhelming. It comes with a side of mayo and ketchup. Flipper pancakes: they were delightful, super fluffy but took 45 min to come out. My first time here and wasn't left with a good impression. I would hesitate to come back.

The music volume was tolerable as well as the selection of choice. Felt like I was on vacation for a min. A great spot to have drinks. A great to spot to meet up or even come for a date. The Melrose Mule was cool. Very refreshing like the bartender mentioned. It was different than the usual mules I get. And the Improved Whiskey was like having an Old Fashion and Whiskey Sour together. It did not disappoint. I also had an attentive bartender who had a good attitude. Didn't take long for him to make my drinks nor put in an order for a smash burger. The smash burger was acceptable. It was good, however, I was expecting something a little bit bigger in size. I like the presentation with it being wrapped in foil. It was cooked perfectly, it was hot and flavorful. No complaints other than the size. I wouldn't mind pulling back up for another happy hour when I'm back in the area. They have some more drinks I would love to try.

However, there is no food menu just alcoholic drinks. I found parking across the street where the CVS & WholeFoods are located. I didn't have any issues, but I only parked there for about 2 hours. Right before I left, the bartenders helped me discover a secret entrance to the bar next door. When you walk in you'll notice a bookshelf, if you slide that bookshelf to the right, you'll open the entrance to the bar next door. Pretty cool! Will definitely come back again.
