Came with friends on a Saturday afternoon. Found street parking right outside and although the place was full, we were seated right away at the bar. The staff seemed friendly and like they actually enjoyed working there. Now the food...
Coffee - Came in paper cups? What??? Does the environment mean nothing to you?! Also seems a bit cheap.
Our plates were served without butter and syrup which are kind of essential at a breakfast joint.
Candied Jalapeno pancakes - These were really great once we got some syrup.
Buckbuck Wheat pancakes - I did not care for these, but my friend enjoyed them.
Cornbread Waffle - Way too dry even after adding egg yokes, hot sauce, and syrup. I just ate the center and left the rest.
Root Vegetable Hash - Amazing!
Mexican Coke-Glazed Pork Belly - Disappointing. Maybe stick with crispy bacon?
Bruleed Vanilla Bean Rice Pudding - Friends took this home, so no idea on taste, but it looked good!
S.O.S. - Took this home to try later. Was good after I added pepper jack cheese. Wish it was more of a gravy though for the bread to soak up instead of a thick paste.
Overall there are some quality items at Jack Flaps, but there are still some things that are lacking. I guess I just prefer my waffles and pancakes to have that buttery crispy edge and that light fluffy center that does NOT make you choke from being too dense and dry. It's one of those trendy gimmicky places you have to try at least once, but you'll probably enjoy cheaper prices and better food at your local diner.
