| - I never realized how underrepresented breakfast is in quality dining around here. There are a few nice mom and pop diners, but Jackflaps is the only place I know that breaks tradition and gets creative. It is definitely what you'd expect from the minds behind Happy Dog, Mumocho, and Barrio--they have a lot if fun creating bold flavor combinations.
The menu is tricky...its divided up by savory and sweet. Going in, I'm always craving bacon and eggs, but once the smell hits me its hard not to drool over the sweet options. I wish there were a few plates that gave you a bit of both, but there is always the option of ordering a waffle or eggy bread (commonly called French Toast) with eggs and/or pork belly on the side. Just plan on having leftovers to take home.
The best sweet I've had there is the carrot cake waffle. I've also tried the smores waffle, and it was good, but too sweet (i could only eat a few bites). But the best overall plate I've had is the SOS--my waitress suggested I add two sunny side up eggs on top, and I loved her for it--soooooo good.
The downside? This place is small, but really popular, so you usually have to stand (in a narrow, crowded corridor) and wait. But trust me, the wait is well worth it!
