Apple Jack's is one of those spots you're glad you found. Family-owned, super friendly, and you can tell they care about their customers. The breakfast burrito was really good, and the service is what keeps people coming back. Definitely a local spot with regulars for a reason. Thanks Maria! read more

I have friends in Alhambra who absolutely love this place, so they took me here for lunch -- and I'm glad they did, because it's not necessarily the kind of spot that would've stood out to me or that I would've chosen on my own. We had a large party (7 people) but it was easy to get a table and even bring another table over to accommodate us all. The atmosphere inside isn't really anything special, but the service is stellar and the food is good. My ham steak was one of the best I've had in LA -- perfectly cooked, and a nice ratio of meat to fat. My eggs scrambled with cheese were a solid option, though next time I'll probably request french fries instead of the hash browns. And next time I'll ask for my English muffin toasted well done, as it came out warm but not crispy at all. My friend ordered pancakes that looked amazingly fluffy, and another friend enjoyed her churro waffle, which looked spectacular. Diet Coke served in a can rather than fountain -- but that's OK, as it guarantees freshness and fizziness. Cash only. Ample parking. Family run. Give it a try! read more

LOCATION - Plenty of parking with no time limit. You'll see their large Apple Jacks signage in a bright yellow. You can't miss it. From the outside, the windows are very tinted and it almost looks closed but as soon as you enter, it's a completely different story. The walls are bright "egg yolk" yellow, filled with cute farm house decor. FOOD - I ordered the BREAKFAST BURRITO, which was a nice size! It had hash browns, eggs, bacon, ham, and cheese. I also got their salsa on the side. I do wish the hash browns were a bit more crispy but overall, I give it a 7.4/10. I also got their CHURRO WAFFLE COMBO and the combo plate was comforting and delicious. The Churro Waffle itself was so good! It had a robust flavor, full of cinnamon and cajeta. Sweet but really good! I give that dish a 9/10. SERVICE - Our waitress was super nice, happily helping us the entire time. Everyone who works there moves fast but it doesn't take away from feeling welcomed. I believe it's a mother, daughter duo based on other reviews, so that's a beautiful touch to this Latinx-owned business! read more

Food was good but took a while to get, Service was good for one waiter, he was hustling. Cash only.

The food is amazing, along with the price for everything and the customer service is perfect. Thank you for the amazing experience, I would love to go back read more

Come here for breakfast! I've had the country fried steak and the waffle. Both were good. Coffee is really good too. I would avoid some lunch items. I had the peppered steak which I did not enjoy. It was bland. Place is owned by mother and daughter. It's cash only. Causal dining experience. read more

Probably one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant in a very very very long time. The service is very fast, they are constantly attending to our needs or wants, the food is amazing with great big portions. The staff was cheerful and very personalizable. If you are looking for a mom and pop location with amazing food this is it. Don't mind the picture just me enjoying my coffee at this great location. I am not from this area just a passing by and I don't know anyone at this location. I will be coming back. read more

Food was tasty, churro waffle was really good. Decent prices. Small place. Good coffee.

I love to try new restaurants and give them the benefit of the doubt. I was excited to see a churro waffle and Mexican breakfast items. I can not express how disappointed I was from the service to the food. There seemed to be only about 3 people working at the restaurant, and 1 of them was cooking and serving tables. The food was a 1 or 2 (at best) out of 5. The coffee was terrible, and the food took sonlong to come out even though there was only our group plus 2 other tables. There is plenty of parking and it is located in a convenient area close to main streets. read more

Arrived at this place at 6:10 am place is still closed; therefore can't review the food or service but based on the schedule set hours. I'm gonna give it a no Bueno don't say you open up at six when now it's 6:20 am and you're still not here. And no one on site to make it look like it's gonna be opening anytime soon. Disappointed was hoping to try this place now I gotta figure out where to go eat. I say the ambience is pretty dead. read more

Pretty standard food quality. I had the churro waffle which was pretty enjoyable. It has churro flavor but is soft like a Belgian waffle. Pretty nice atmosphere inside. Service was great. read more

My wife and I have been customers at Apple Jack's for several years now and shame on me for not writing a review sooner. We have brunch here once a week...on some weeks twice. We fine the place charming, the food excellent, and the service friendly. I am particularly fond of the Waffle Combo, although the Churro Waffle is also top-notch. Their hamburgers are among the best I've ever had. The Monday special is Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and my wife feels it is as delicious as the pasta her Italian grandmother used to make. If all this isn't enough, their prices are very reasonable. All in all, Apple Jack's is highly recommended. read more

Great food and very friendly staff. Apple Jack's is also a very community oriented place.

Great American and Mexican food. Old school cafe with great home cooking. Must try if you are in the mood for home cooking. read more

Not from this area so I googled breakfast spots and Apple Jacks came up. Read reviews and decided to stop. I'm glad I did. It's a small storefront. Food was good, service was great. They only take cash, so I was glad we had some on hand. I had pancakes, if you enjoy a thick pancake, you will want to try, for me, I wish they were a bit thinner, but, they were very tasty. My husband enjoyed his bacon, eggs and golden brown hash browns. The inside was clean and not crowded with a bunch of tables. We will definitely come back. read more

The food portions are very generous. The staff is always nice and the restaurant is clean.

I came here for the first time because my friend recommended this place. Let me just start off by saying that if you have no patience and you're in a rush for breakfast, this place isn't for you. I'm not saying their service is slow but you can tell that everything is made fresh and that takes time. The cook/owner I assume was very sweet and kind. I ordered the French toast meal and personally, I like it but I don't think I would order it again. My friends ordered the omelettes and pancakes. They really enjoyed it so I will be trying that the next time I come. The place itself gives me a "home" vibe which I do believe that you can enjoy having conversations with your families/friends. Lastly, it's cash only. I do recommend this place. Give them a chance! read more

I miss Pauline but since Maria bought the business I love having the choice to order Mexican food. I had the best Chile rellenos last week. Maria is keeping the old menu but adding more goodies. The place has a new look plus it's Clean! Hi again! It's been about 3 years since my last review and I still have nothing been good review to share. Maria serves veg soup everyday except for Tues. when it's chicken noodle, great! One of things I like about Maria is she will make something up for you that's not the usual, for instance I like my chorizo and eggs with with the chorizo on the side, not mixed with the eggs, No problem! There's outside seating so you can have that second cup of coffee and enjoy chatting with your friends and not feel rushed. And let's not forget the low prices, can't beat them. Give it a try !Since Maria took over I have never seen a roach or any other kind of bugs. read more

First off I jumped on Yelp because I was so hungry and saw this place was 2 miles away from my location so I said let's go!!! Of course they are following all of the covid guidelines so I wasn't worried at all. They take cash only but take Venmo as well. I went with my aunt and after she ordered she asked what the cake on the counter was. The woman behind the counter replied churro. "Yummy" I said. She in turn asked if we would like a sample. Of course!!!!! So she gave us a "sample" but it was an entire slice. A perfect amount before we ate. The nice woman said to give her about 15 min to make our orders. So we went to the car and waited. We were in the middle of our conversation and she brought our order out to us! All of the food was so tasty and had that homemade food taste. read more

The staff here where nice but the food was nothing to write home about. I had the breakfast burrito and it was just OK, my friend had the french toast and it didn't taste like much. read more

I was in town for a family party and bumped into this place great breakfast! I had the huevos rancheros very tastefully

This is a very old fashioned décor, dilapidated charm. This is not IHop. This is the greasy diner you come and cheat on your diet with. I would not advise to eat 7 days a week but it was fun eating their burger special and the pancakes. The chicken fried steak was enjoyable too. --Not too crowded during the middle of the day during weekdays --You can always find parking --There is a massage place next door. Nothing exceptionally spectacular, but I believe this is the charm, I have been back, will be back. read more

Locally owned, family owned, Latina owned.. this mother and daughter dou make you feel at home! Offering take out and outdoor dining. They are expanding their menu with various waffles to add to their breakfast menu. I tried their new churro waffle and protein waffle topped with banana and almond butter. Just the right amount of sweetness. Located in a shopping center. read more
