I take my brunch very seriously, so whenever I venture to a new spot I'm pretty damn wary. I mean after all, my whole week will be ruined if my Sunday brunch turns out to be a bust. I have to admit though after reading the reviews and scoping out the scene on Yelp I wasn't too concerned about whether or not Jack Flaps was going to be a winner.
I rolled in around 9:30 fully anticipating a long wait. I dont know if it's because there was a Browns game or what but they weren't packed at all. Obviously I was thrilled because it meant I was one step closer to sweet brunch bliss.
I got a coffee to start and though it was a decent cup of Joe I was a little disappointed it was served in a to-go cup. This kind of made me feel like maybe they wanted me to rush out of there.
I proceeded to pretend to look at the menu (I actually had the thing basically memorized at this point from how many times I had looked at it during my downtime at work.) I decided to go with the Nooks and Crannies waffle. I dont know what about this jumped out at me but the chèvre cheese paired with the peach chutney just sounded too good to pass up. Queue the crazy bliss-bomb this thing was incredible. Not only did it come out from the kitchen pretty quickly, it was so moist and delicious and sweet, and savory, and just everything anyone could ever want in a waffle. Is it legal to marry a waffle? If it is I totally call dibs on the Nooks and Crannies.
Do yourself a favor and get to Jack Flaps. IHOP's got nothin on these guys.
