For us this was typical diner breakfast. Although if you like the sweeter side, they had quite a few options. Quite busy on a Sunday at 11a, but we received a table for 2 after a few minute wait. Great service. Breakfast burrito was egg and ground beef. Seemed a little pricey for nothing special, but it was totally fine. read more

Flap Jack Family Restaurant - Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Look no further, this is a top notch breakfast joint! Despite coming on a sunday at peak brunch hour, we were sat immediately. Our server was kind and attentive and the wait for food was not long at all. I had the french toast and bacon, both were ridiculously good. The pricing is amazing for what you get, and their menu is very customizable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The booths were really comfy and even though it was busy it was not loud or cramped in the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Was in E. Lansing visiting the local university and this place looked as good as any for breakfast so I went. I liked it, so I went the next day and liked it even more. It's a solid breakfast joint with decent prices and friendly staff. My first breakfast the eggs were screwed up. I ordered over medium and they came out scrambled, but they were fine. The star me was the pancakes. They're those good "malty" kind that can be hard to find nowadays because everyone has to try to be so cute with their pancakes instead of just making a good pancake. The sausage link I had was very good. It was a thicker than most sausage links and tasty. I got an omelette with ham, bacon, potatoes and cheddar and it was really good. Food all came out fast and I didn't have to wait either day I was there, one of which was a Sunday. For a basic, run of the mill ole' fashioned breakfast, this is a great place to try. Oh, they also leave the coffee urn on the table for you, so no waiting for refills! read more

Traditional breakfast with large portions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is nothing fancy but there is plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Waitresses are helpful and efficient. I personally like places that let you order 1-2-3 eggs on your plate. Coffee is hot and the pumpkin pancakes were great. I ordered a small version of a plate with extra eggs and for me it had too many hash browns and the mushrooms were canned ones so plate was okay. That being said, I would definitely go back! read more

Flap Jack Family Restaurant - Dish with hash browns, peppers, mushrooms with an extra eggs. Pumpkin pancakes in back. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

This family restaurant hits all the markers. Clean, friendly wait staff, great service, good coffee, & affordable. Since breakfast and coffee is so good, Flap Jacks also tends to be a place to gather for breakfast for a couple of small groups of old friends on weekday mornings for the last several years. That alone tells me this is the place to come for good tasting satisfying meal. read more

We have driven by this restaurant many times while in Lansing but have never stopped until last month- and it was a great choice. Breakfasts had large portions for my growing kids ;) They had a great variety and a few random things you don't typically see- like a smelt dinner. We all opted for breakfast but there were many other options. Food was fresh and tasty, waitstaff was friendly, and food was served in a timely manner. This was a great family meal choice and we would definitely go back! read more

Wow - what an amazing place to grab a hearty, delicious, reasonably priced breakfast! Coffee was great, plus they leave a pot at the table to keep your mug full. Ordered the Hearty Breakfast and it was so good! Three eggs terrifically cooked, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and hash browns. These were the best pancakes that I have had in some time. Can't wait to get back there! read more

Nothing fancy at all. But the food was good and plentiful. I must say if you are in a rush do not come here. They were pretty slow but I did not mind because I was waisting time. I had the pancakes, eggs and sausage. My mom had omelet with blueberry pancakes. They were super late ge. We actually thought they gave us a full order of cakes instead of the side portion. If you are looking for the staples then this is your go to place. read more

No one ever wanted to go to this restaurant when I was at State, now I see why. Got their early for a quick breakfast before heading downriver. I should have known it was going to be bad when. My food came out less than 4 minutes after ordering. The eggs were undercooked, cheese wasn't melted and zero flavor. Hash browns were burned on the outside and cold inside. Only saving grace was the toast and coffee. Waitress was polite but gave me the stank eye when I left almost everything on the plate...even with stank eye she got a nice tip...she didn't cook it read more

The food is good. Traditional breakfast fare and extended menu. They'll accommodate everyone's tastes and restrictions. On Tuesday (but check) there's a senior discount. Servers and cashiers make one feel like an old friend. Coffee's pretty good. Lots of it but could be stronger-- my taste. I haven't had more than breakfast there. A lot of folks hold meetings. Also, over the years a lot of MSU bb players have been there solo! Ambience is mostly booths for two or four. Some tables. Typical vinyl seats and Formica tables. That is, you make the ambiance, not the decor. Price is right. Low. I've been a "regular" for years. read more

It's been about 20 years since we've been here last, but it looks exactly the same. Parking was a little confusing because of the snow, so there were no lines and cars were taking spots like a free for all. The wait staff were friendly. We ordered the mini veggie skillet and the regular sausage skillet both came with a choice of toast or flapjacks. We picked flapjacks, since it's what they are known for. Portions were good. Brought us back to some good exam cramming memories. Glad we came back for a visit after all these years. read more

This place was great! We had heard of Flap Jacks but never been to one and decided today was the day! We were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and fast service. My husband ordered breakfast and got a HUGE amount of food! My daughter ordered pancakes and was very happy with her order. I had a build your own omelet and it was amazing! Not only was it very large but it was stuffed all the way through with cheese and bacon and potatoes! I've never been anywhere where the filling was throughout and so much I couldn't even eat it all! I also ordered the cranberry,cherry, walnut French toast instead of pancakes with it. It was AMAZING as well! We are always looking for a new place to eat that is different than regular fast food or chain restaurants. This IS the place! read more

Decent family food, but portions were a little small. I ordered the 3 egg western omelet which was good, but if that was a three egg omelet those were the three smallest eggs if all time. There also was not a lot of the ingredients (bacon, peppers, mushrooms, etc.) inside the omelet. However it did have good flavor as did the side of pancakes that came with it. A little over priced given the size of the omelet, which is why I'm giving 3 stars instead of 4 stars. read more

We had a great time at Flap Jack. We got together with our daughter and her fiance for a visit. We all had different breakfasts and everything was delicious. Our server was fabulous and we enjoyed our food. My husband got a create your own omelette and I got the eggs, sausage and flap jacks. Our daughter is a vegetarian and had lots to choose from. I liked the fact that you could mix/match what you wanted. We will be back. read more

We've dined here for many years but today's Lunch was especially enjoyable because our server, Natasha, exhibited the best qualities: A happy personality, prompt service and, most of all........she understood my sense of humor and had witty responses. And I'm not just "Flap'n" my gums here. It's a fact, Jack. Peace Out. read more

Best breakfast in the Lansing Area hands down. Some people would debate that Sip n Shack out in Okemos is better- those people are idiots. Any true fan of breakfast will come to any one of Flap Jack shacks locations and won't be disappointed. Their breakfast menu pretty covers all bases. My usual is the skillet breakfast with pancakes. It has all your basic breakfast elements- bacon, potatoes, eggs, cheese, and of course pancakes. The servers here are pretty awesome as well. Some of them have been here for years, and the ones that haven't are still pretty jovial. This place gets packed in the morning, especailly on the weekends, so just prepare yourself. For as busy as they are, they usually clear it out pretty quick. Oh yeah, they have nothing but booths (except for tables in the back for large groups). Man I love this place. read more

Ordered: Country Breakfast w/ side of link sausages Ambiance: Pretty standard breakfast place like any other Dennys/IHOP/etc. Service was friendly but a little slow since the place was close to capacity on a Sunday around noon. Luckily they left a pitcher of coffee at the table so there wasn't a ton I needed to ask for. Food: I was very happy with the biscuits and sausage gravy part of my meal. The biscuit was soft and moist yet not overly mushy. The gravy was nice and savory with large chunks of chopped sausage which were so tasty I got a extra side of sausages alone. My main gripe was the scrambled eggs which were flavorless and had that semi-rubbery texture of egg beaters where the moisture squeezes out between the protein as you chew it. The bacon just fine, nothing to really comment on. My fiance had the eggs benedict which really looked ho-hum and slathered in a unnatural-looking cheese sauce but tasted fine. Overall this place is a 3.5 with copious amounts of decent food but I honestly don't differentiate it that much from Dennys or IHOP except that it is a little less greasy? read more

This restaurant was pretty good. At first, the wait was long and they gave me chocolate milk that was sub par, but the experience and food made up for it. I had a pancake and hash browns and they were scrumptious! Also, I had a great breakfast with my family and we had a wonderful time in this amazing atmosphere. The place really make you feel at home. 7/10 I will come here again! read more

Staff serving with no face covering and a basic plastic shield. It seems irresponsible. Food is otherwise good as always

Flap Jack Family Restaurant - two plates of breakfast food - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Normally we love this place, but last night was the last time we will ever visit. We arrived at 615 (their facebook states that they close at 8pm.) We asked it if was okay to stay or if we should come another time, and we were assured that it was okay to stay. So we did. We should not have. Misty was our server. Here are some of the things that she said to us: "does anyone want coffee, because we close in 15 minutes and I will have to make an entire new pot". "Does anyone want anything else to drink (right after we ordered) because I want to clean the machines". When my husband ordered fries, he was told that they are out of fries and asked what he wanted now. He said mashed potatoes or a baked potato would be fine, to which she rolled her eyes and stomped off. She brought him potato chips. My granddaughter ordered pancakes, which came out after we were all done eating. Another server tried to come over to take our order, but Misty refused to let her and decided to punish us with her presence instead. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes... over and hour and a half before their posted closing time. I tried to talk to the General Manager, but all she said was "sorry". I am sad, because we really like this place. We can (and do) walk here from home and enjoy our Sunday mornings here, however, after last night it is obvious that they don't really care. read more

My rating is based on my own mistake ... i ordered the Sourdough pancakes. What was I thinking?? I normally order something I haven't had before ... oops, I should not have done that. I'm sure the pancakes taste like the should & I now know I don't like Sourdough pancakes. My server was friendly & the food was hot and timely. My granddaughter enjoyed her bear shaped pancake. Next time, I will choose the traditional flap jacks. read more

Nothing fancy, just old fashioned food that's good for the sole! I've been coming here since I was a kid and it hasn't changed a bit!!
