    Went to lunch with a colleague today at Flap Jacks. Our waitress was very polite and patient with us as we took a minute to place our order. Our food came out in a matter of minutes. Portion sizes were surprisingly large, and the food was pretty tasty as well.

    Our foodie group came to Flapjacks for breakfast on a Sunday morning and it was a royal treat. Flapjacks is located in a strip mall off of W 71st street, and it is a huge space with plenty of seating. The ambiance is very nice with a homestyle family restaurant type setting and decor. I did feel comfortable while dining in the restaurant. Our group was able to obtain a huge table and sit together as a group. I did arrive late to the group, and everyone had ordered already, but our server came over right away and took my beverage order. After bringing my orange juice and hot tea within a few minutes, I was able to give her my food order of the protein omelette with a side of pancakes. The amazing thing was everyone else's food order came out within 10 minutes after I placed my order,and my food came out shortly after that as well. It was very fast and impressive! The presentation of the food was incredible and tasted terrific! The protein omelette was perfect and cooked with love and high quality. The flavors were impeccable. The pancakes looked thick and fluffy and tasted perfect as well! Everyone loved their dishes, and there were no complaints. Our server was excellent and took very good care of our group. She was on top of everything and demonstrated excellent customer service. Flapjacks pancake house was the best breakfast place I had been to in quite a while, and it definitely reminded me of the old family style restaurants going to as a kid with my parents such as Denny's or mom and pop restaurants in the neighborhood. I would definitely describe Flapjacks as an upscale Denny's or IHOP with better quality food and presentation. There is nothing else really to say about Flapjacks except that it is a fantastic place to go with family or friends for breakfast and it is worth the price you pay for a meal. You have to come check out Flapjacks for breakfast! You will not be disappointed! You will have a big smile on your face!

    My sandwich

    I called in a breakfast sandwich with Scrambled eggs add cheese. When I arrived 5 minutes behind my promised time. I pay slightly higher and wait for an additional 15 minutes. No explanation just waiting. When my order comes out I check and it is not what I ordered

    Biscuits and gravy

    Stopped by Flap Jacks to pick up breakfast on the way home from work this morning. I was greeted with friendly customer service. I ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy, with two eggs over easy. The gravy was a thin and lacked flavor. The eggs were made perfectly.

    Convenient spot with good food, reasonable prices, and a huge menu with lots of variety. It's pretty busy and potentially slightly understaffed but we didn't have to wait for a table. Friendly waitress in Jimena. Food took a bit longer to come out but came out all together. Will definitely return. Water tasted like there was a filter and not as hard as Indy water.

    Service at this restaurant was once a miss for my husband and I, but since then, it's been a hit! We enjoy going for a filling meal for under $14 for each of us. The servers are friendly, but sometimes it can be a wait for your food or a refill on your coffee. Not too busy on a weekend before 12:30pm, but I think it picks up around then. If you like thick fluffy pancakes, this is the place for you!

    Flap Jack's has a great selection for breakfast or lunch and the full menu is available from opening till closing at 3:00 p.m. The service has been good each time I've been here with consistently good food. They will work with you around food allergies or food preferences when possible. A large strip mall parking lot provides ample parking. You'll find a sizeable dining area with many 4 top tables, counter and booths with wide and spacious isleways. Being a weekday at 7:30 I wasn't surprised there were only 15-20 people having breakfast being it was a workday. Busy on the weekends but not as busy weekday mornings. I was seated immediately and my server introduced herself moments later. Coffee followed promptly and refilled as needed. I ordered the Steak and Eggs Daily Special which included hashbrowns, toast (for me) or pancakes. The steak had very little grizzle and fat along the edges. The Sirloin was seasoned perfectly and prepared medium-rare as I requested. The hashbrowns also came out not lightly browned as requested. The meal was very good and I enjoyed every bite. The service was great, the food was delicious and the steak special was afforable. I love the option to have breakfast, lunch or dinner options from opening to close. Nice option to dine at for breakfast or lunch when in this area.

    Came to breakfast with my family and everyone loved the food. When I say the Chocolate chip pancakes was to die for- omg they was so good. My club sandwich was tasty and the fries was so crispy. Our server was so nice and patient with us as we tried to figure out what we wanted to eat. Everyone got a variety of food, more than what I snapped pictures of.

    Chicken noodle soup
    Ashley D.

    I ended up having lunch there on Saturday Feb. 27th with my mom. We, made it up there at 2pm. The restaurant is only open from 7am-3pm, you can dine in, or do carryout. There are no stairs to access the restaurant, and accessible to everyone. My mom and I were the only customers there to he be eating there during that time. The restaurant does serve breakfast, and lunch at very affordable prices. Our Server was a young man named Cameron he was new to the job yet he was helpful on the menu, answering our questions about the food. For, my lunch I had a cup of chicken noodle soup. The soup was made different with macaroni shells, it was hot delicious soup. Then I had the beef Manhattan, I haven't had that meal since I was a kid decided to get it. It wasn't bad, very fulfilling, plenty of gravy, as well as mashed potatoes. It was a tad bit salty yet still good. Fun fact Beef Manhattan are a Midwest stable dish. My mom had their white fish sandwich along with chicken noodle soup. I will definitely go back to try the breakfast. I wished the restaurant stayed opened until 4pm, and if you come around 2:30pm you'll have to get your food to go. Overall, not a bad restaurant.

    Store front location in the plaza with Kroger and a few other restaurants such as Papa John's and Tequilas (Mexican food). Flap Jacks has an old timey cafe feel to it with an extensive menu. I have had several things from the menu but has never had their pancakes, ironically. They have breakfast, including Turkey bacon, lunch including paninis, and dinner items such as chicken noodles and liver over mashed potatoes. Today, I had their Greek 3- egg omelet. It comes with gyro meat, tomatoes, and feta cheese. The meal comes with hash browns or grits and also toast or pancakes. I got buttered toast. Next time I order this meal I'll ask to add onions since it The omelet fell flat on my taste buds, falling a little short from the gyro taste I expected to get. They are usually busy early mornings then it starts to thin out around 11am, making it an ideal spot for brunch. However, they do not serve alcohol so no mimosas. I've visited this restaurant several times regardless because the prices are reasonable, it's family friendly, and in a convenient location. I recommend Flap Jacks whenever you're looking for traditional American meals.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years.

It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly.

We were too full for dessert, but I'll be sure to leave room when I come back next time!

    **Bluebeard... wtf**…read more Bluebeard has been on my Indianapolis restaurant list since I moved here from Chicago in 2021. I've found some really great restaurants here over the years, so I was especially excited to finally make it to Bluebeard. Each year during Devour, my husband and I pick a restaurant for each other as a surprise, and this year I chose Bluebeard. We had a 6:15 reservation and arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic. I apologized, and we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, that's where the experience started to go downhill. Our server took about 15 minutes to come over, and although our appetizer arrived quickly (chips&dip), our drinks took another 15 minutes. I held off on ordering our meal because I wanted to do the Devour menu with the wine pairing. The food & drinks was a mixed bag: - Beauregard cocktail: 10/10 - Chips & avocado ranch dip: 8/10 - Crudo: 9/10 - Smoked fish dip: 4/10 - Mushroom ravioli: 8/10 - Short Rib Ragu: 3/10 - Chocolate crème brûlée: 3/10 There were definitely some great dishes, but the slow service and inconsistent food were disappointing for a restaurant with this reputation. The biggest issue came toward the end of the meal. The hostess came to our table and told us we needed to hurry because she needed the table for another reservation. **We were still waiting for dessert.** I explained that the service had been very slow and that we were waiting on our desserts. Our server apologized and said the hostess likely didn't realize what had been happening and was under stress. I completely understand that Devour can bring in more traffic than usual, but that's also something a restaurant at this level needs to be prepared to handle. We shouldn't have been made to feel rushed when the delays were not on our end. I really wanted to love Bluebeard after having it on my list for five years, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. For comparison, some of my favorite Indy restaurants for both food and service are Bocca, Union 50, Matador, Rosemary & Olive, Tinker Street, Strange Bird, Delicia, and Bodhi. Maybe we caught Bluebeard on an off night, but for me, this experience fell short.
