| - Ambiance: 4. Despite some other reviewers complaints, Jack Flaps has a unique vibe to it, with its food fight fetish all over its walls. Quarters are not that tight despite what other reviewers say, although there are a limited number of tables. Other than not having an outdoor seating area, this is how I expect my brunch places to be.
Cost: 4. Surprisingly reasonable versus "premium" brunch peers like Lucky's. Sub-$10 for most breakfast options (many of them are fairly complex and large dishes) versus $10+ at a few competitors that do the upscale brunch experience. In other words, Jack Flaps successfully rides the line between cheap breakfast and pricey food experience.
Food Quality: 5. After having a half dozen of their dishes have yet to find a disappointment on the menu, which was primary driver to me writing this 5-start review. On savory, I recommend Breakfast Burrito and Bahn Mi, on sweet try the Candied Jalapeno, Creamsicle, or PBJ French Toast. The only knock is lack of alcohol (mimosas and the like would be a nice touch). Pro tip: for hot sauce lovers, there is a nice twist on the typical.
Service: 5. Despite it generally always being busy, they are usually pretty prompt with service but not overly pushy.
When to return: 7 days a week. Brunch with a smaller party (under 6). Foodie moment. Waffle craving.
