Sat outside and ordered the apple pancake... was very good, but also very sweet!

Seating took a little while after opening, likely because they stagger new parties to avoid overwhelming the kitchen with orders all at once. There were tons of fun brunch drinks listed on a cute, record-shaped acrylic menu, although the coffee options were pretty limited. The food menu was just as fun and whimsical, and the waitstaff were all dressed to match the theme. Everyone was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We tried the soufflé pancakes, which were good, though they weren't quite as fluffy and jiggly as Japanese soufflé pancakes. They were also quite sweet on their own, so we didn't really need the syrup. We also ordered the cheese fondue plate, which came with steamed vegetables, kielbasa, and bread cubes--a really fun concept. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, playful, and definitely part of the experience. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area, especially if there isn't a long wait for a table.

The staff did not comment. True hospitality. But the moment that got us: they turned the music down without hesitation when my kids needed it for sensory reasons. No drama, just kindness. I almost cried into my syrup. Four stars only because perfection leaves no room to grow. We'll be back, Flap Your Jacks. We'll be back

For my son's birthday, we decided to try this fun place since he loves to cook. Something similar…read moreto Korean barbecue style this place has a griddle in the middle of the table and you can make your own pancakes. We were able to get seated right away during prime Sunday brunch, which was a pleasant surprise since we didn't have reservations. Our waitress wasn't as friendly seeing as we were dining with kids and I informed her this was our first time and I was hoping she would be more helpful. The food came out pretty fast. I ordered the Benedict. My kids ordered pancakes that they could make, and we also had a side of bacon, and my husband had a traditional breakfast with pancakes and bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese. My Benedict's were just OK. I enjoyed the freshness of the salmon, but the croissant that they used for the Benedict's were too soft and got soggy. My kids really didn't eat the pancakes. They played mostly with it and my husband did enjoy his scrambled eggs with cheese But the pancakes we had the chefs made in the back were very thick not fluffy. Overall, the kids had a good time, but they didn't really eat the pancakes so for the amount of money we paid for it. It went to waste. I tasted the pancakes they made, and it was fine but I guess my kids were interested in cooking more than eating that day. Parking is bad anywhere really in downtown San Diego parking is bad but what I will say to finish off the review as I didn't appreciate not being informed of additional cost. I requested that the waitress bring out sugar-free syrup for my kids pancakes and she said OK brought out the syrup and when I saw the bill I saw that there was almost a four dollar charge for a small side of sugar-free syrup for that amount of money I could've purchased a whole bottle but even more so if you charge an additional fee for sugar-free syrup that needs to be disclosed to your customers I probably still would've got it because my kids can't take a whole lot of sugar, but it would've been nice to know, considering the cost. This was probably a one and done for us. There's so many other places in San Diego we'll try for brunch next time we're there.

Service is fast but a very relaxed vibe...it is only a block from the beach after all. The coffee, particularly the cold brew, was FANTASTIC though a bit pricey at $7. The kids menu featured pancake for $5, fruit for $4.50, and eggs for $3, among others, in a very easy mix and match sort of way. I tried the Mission Chilaquiles for $17. A great CaliMex meal that had the right amount of ingredients, perfectly cooked eggs with the right amount of spice. I also ordered a piece of Rosemary Bread (though really toast) for $4.5 on the side and it had an excellent flavor. Highly recommended!

We loved the Viking ambiance and theme- it gave the experience an extra touch! I want to come back and try everything on the menu

The food is always bomb, the vibes are always right, and the team is always wonderful. The restaurant feels like your neighborhood diner, but a bit more upscale. The servers are always so kind, helpful, and know exactly how to help you decide what to get. My usuals are the squash blossom dish because i looooove squash blossoms and they're so good with eggs, but this time we got the braised duck with mushroom and brie scramble and WHEW, girl that was good. i love their bread they serve too, always make everything taste good + and their crispy potato! YESSSS. Maple Bacon Doughnuts are always a must have when you go. just do it and thank me later.

The restaurant itself was super cute and had a great vibe. I got the smoked brisket hash and a banana espresso martini, and both were absolutely delicious. The brisket was so tender and flavorful. My husband and cousin both got the fried chicken burger and really enjoyed it, and the truffle fries were amazing too. The only downside was the outside patio was pretty cramped. My husband basically had to sit sideways because there wasn't much space between tables. Service also wasn't as attentive as I would've liked. We weren't given utensils, and once my food arrived I had to wait around 8 minutes before I could get someone's attention to ask for them. Besides that, the food was amazing and I'd definitely come back. Hopefully for an inside table next time!

Since the carnitas was an add-on, I wasn't sure what to expect on the portion but they were quite generous. Great place for breakfast or lunch on Sunday if you're also looking to catch a game!

She made sure my Corona Non-Alcoholic beer arrived right on time every time, and her warm energy added a lot to the overall experience. The skillet is, without question, one of the most skillfully executed brunch dishes I've had in San Diego. Every component felt thoughtfully prepared and well balanced. The potatoes were flavorful and satisfying, the shrimp were large and succulent, and the eggs over easy were cooked perfectly, adding richness to each bite. The combination of cheese, vegetables, and chipotle hollandaise brought everything together with bold flavor without overwhelming the dish. Beyond the food, the restaurant is clean, spacious, and welcoming. It works equally well for a family brunch, a relaxed meal with friends, or even catching a game. The music also added a great touch to the atmosphere.
