| - Our meal was absolutely incredible at Flapjacks. I read online that we should be prepared to wait in line on a Saturday morning. We didn't need to. Had no problem getting a table for 8. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and is not that impressive to the eye. It's very clean and simple on the inside. They didn't have the blinds open at all, so I took the liberty of opening them slightly to let some natural light in. What the restaurant lacked in ambiance, they made up for in food and service.
There was a list of specials on a chalk board that included a quiche of the day, a coconut pineapple oven baked pancake, pigs in a blanket, and blueberry almond croissant french toast (there were more but those are all I can remember off the top of my head). Everybody gave rave reviews on their dishes. According to the party the Pigs in a Blanket were awesome. The sausage was well cooked and seasoned, and the pancakes were light and not too sweet. The blueberry almond croissant french toast, which sounded like it would be sickly sweet, was well balanced and delicious. The palisades omelet was great, and the toast and potatoes were average and what you would expect them to be. The blueberry pancakes were "delightful."
My husband got the apple nut oven baked pancake. It came out fully puffed up and deflated as it got to the table. It was delicious (I stole more than a few bites), the apples were the perfect consistency and it was sweet enough that it didn't need syrup, but not so sweet that it was difficult to eat the whole thing. He also ordered a side of sausage, he said it was cold in the middle, and the waitress quickly brought it back to the kitchen and gave him a piping hot order.
I ordered the greek omelet, made with egg whites. It was cooked to absolute perfection. It was perfectly stuffed and seasoned. I got the side of pancakes. They were light and fluffy. I put a little bit of butter on them and it was the perfect meal!
It was my Father in Law's Birthday and I offhandedly mentioned it to the waitress, when he was asking for raisins to be thrown into his old fashion oven pancake, not only did they throw in the raisins, but they also put a candle in his butter and sang to him. It was a very nice touch. The service was awesome. Two waitresses were constantly refilling coffee cups, water glasses, etc. It was noted several times that the coffee was great at our table as well. I had the Earl Grey tea. They served it already steeped in a teapot and it was delicious.
