| - Whenever I have a friend from out of town visit, or if I know anyone visiting Cleveland for the first time, I immediately give them a list of places to get food. Jack Flaps is always on the top of that list.
Why? IT'S INCREDIBLE! Savory or sweet Jack Flaps will not disappoint. Delivering flavor and fun in every bite, Jack Flaps reminds me that going out for a meal is intended to be an experience.
Every meal I've had has been amazing. So I honestly don't believe you can go wrong with anything off the menu - but I do have a few favorites I wanted to share.
PB&J: on the 'Eggy Bread' portion of the menu. This personal fav. has Peanut Butter, homemade berry jam, Nutella (and we all said 'Amen'), topped with cereal milk whipped cream. SO sweet, but so worth it. Yolo, right?
Graham Cracker Waffle: My wife's current favorite. Topped with Nutella (again, Amen) and Brûléed marshmallows. I can't get enough.
I can't stress this enough - you MUST get their Root Vegetable Hash. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten. Just the right amount of spice, and so full of flavor. You will not regret getting a side of this amazing dish. Tip: try it with their homemade hot sauce. CLUTCH!
They have an amazing happy hour. 1PM - 3PM any day $5 for any Jack Flaps & Waffles.
So after so much praise - why the four stars? Unfortunately, the seating arrangement and wait time is a major bummer.
It's a small place with minimal seating, but what kills them is their 6-top tables. Most parties of 2 aren't comfortable sharing a table with strangers. But unless you want to wait for your own table - this may be your only option.
This may not be a huge issue on weekdays, but for brunch on a Saturday, plan on a potential 30-45 min wait, and you may be sitting cozy close with the stranger next to you.
But patience is a virtue! And the wait is worth it once you get your first bite of food.
