Came here for breakfast with my family and the food was really good! The severs were friendly and attentive. I really appreciate that the plate portions were not overly huge like a lot of places now a days. I was able to finish my entire plate and was full and didn't waste anything! They were out of a few things we wanted, but is understandable since it's a small restaurant and we came pretty late in the day for breakfast (about 11:00am.) I got ham instead of bacon (out of bacon) and it was a great choice! Nice thick slice and so tasty! Ordered my eggs over medium and they were perfect. A simple breakfast menu with some special items you won't find anywhere else. Overall I would come back here, I want to try the blood orange juice and the Bloody Mary (YUM!) read more

Honestly, the worst corned beef hash I've ever had. I can't believe I paid extra for it. More closely resembled a potato pancake. A greasy, bland, mushy potato pancake. The service was fine and the manager asked how everything was, but I didn't have the heart to have this conversation in front of other patrons. read more

This place is tiny and you sit super close to the table next to you that is why I gave this a 4. The service was prompt, coffee was good and food was tasty! My husband and I had the Benedict and fruits and our son had the flapjack pancake. read more

Small family owned cafe with a small seating area. Well worth the wait. Everything I had was prepared to perfection. And the service was outstanding. This was our second meal here in two days and we could not be more pleased. read more

I got the Spinach, Cheese and Tomato omelet with home fries and wheat toast. Very good . . . read more

Are you looking for a great local breakfast spot? Be sure to check out Flapjacks on Venice Avenue. There's nothing fancy about this place, but the good food and friendly atmosphere will draw you back. It's quickly becoming a favorite for me and my family. read more

It may look small and unappealing at first but this restaurant is truly great! Very nice waiter and chef - cute place. The food was great - loved the pancakes! Big and fluffy - they also have peanut butter chip pancakes! First breakfast place that I've been to to have that. Overall, while it may be small try it out! read more

What a great spot. All the food we had was freshly prepared and delicious!! Had French toast with pineapple and strawberries made with Hawaiian rolls wonderful my partner had eggs potatoes and sausage was wonderful!! I can't wait to go back and try lunch! All the staff was friendly and helpful! read more

Great family cafe. Delicious flapjacks and French toast. Good cup of coffee and yummy fresh oj. Looking forward to trying their breakfast sandwiches. We'll be regulars. read more

Humiliating. Unless you are a regular (which I had hoped to be) don't come in. Waitress likes to know you want your regular. Née customer rushed; asked about avocado special and ordered without salad as I do not like salad dressing. She assumed I did not want the spinach as she did not take time to ask. When food came it was avocado toast with tomato onion egg and salad dressing. I ate one bite removed egg to eat. When she came to ask how food was I advised her I had not wanted salad as it was dressing I did not want. Loudly she announced so everyone could hear that I mind you I should have been more specific. How would I even think there would be dressing. I was not even offered a piece of toast. Tea pot bone dry so I paid $10 for one egg and pot of hot water abd tea bag. I did not expect a refund however I would have thought they could spare a piece of toast read more

Drove all the way from Houston to Flapjacks. As good as The old Lyndhurst diner. But better was a 40 year wait for a Jersey breakfast When people ask what you miss about Jersey I say breakfast and pizza. read more

We stopped in for a quick breakfast and enjoyed some pecan/blueberry pancakes, eggs and bacon. The meal was very good and reasonably priced. The facility is clean, waitress was nice, even the chef came out to make sure everyone's meal was good. read more

We enjoyed this place. The food was great, eggs were cooked perfectly, bacon was perfect. Meal was quickly prepared and the staff was friendly and attentive. My wife ordered a traditional breakfast with pancakes, eggs and bacon plus a side of grits. All were delicious. My meal was the sunrise skillet. I was surprised with the presentation and the portion was generous. It consisted of potatoes, sausage, gravy, onions and peppers all hidden with the eggs on top. The mix had great flavor. read more

Great food and quaint atmosphere. Small place with limited chairs, but if you can grab a spot it's super good. Eggs were average, bacon was nice and crispy, but the pancakes were awesome. Thinner, but light and fluffy with a good buttermilk taste to them. Would come back! read more

We came to Flapjacks on our first morning here in Venice and came back every morning after that. Food is excellent and service is as well. Met the owner very personable, comes to make sure your satisfied with your meal. read more

I had heard Flapjacks did a full English breakfast so we had to try it out. It was a bit disappointing. No grilled mushrooms, no fried slice. The tomatoes were not grilled. Warm mushy sliced tomatoes are not great. The Monte Cristo was also not what I expected. I received a cold deli sandwich. In fact I'm still wondering what connection it had to a Monte Cristo. I guess I just had something else in mind with that name. The service was fine - and attentive. For me the dealbreaker was the atmosphere. We went on a weekend morning and it was a rather somber affair with hardly anyone talking in the very tiny place. We have kids, and were the youngest by a long shot. So if you like very quiet - this place is great! read more

Great breakfast and wonderful service. I am very happy that it is near my Venice home. As an aside I left my credit card at Flapjacks but could not go back to get it because I had an early morning flight and didn't realize it was missing until after they closed. I called them after my flight and they wrapped my card in paper, put it in an envelope and mailed it to me in NY, at their cost and time going to the post office. As I said before, not only great breakfasts but out of their way service. read more

Came here for breakfast and enjoyed our meal and service. The place has a very clean homey feel and the service was impeccable. The food was fresh and the right price. We will definitely be back again. read more

The food was very good and the atmosphere laid back, but they took about 15 minutes to take our order and 30 more minutes to bring our food. They were not busy at all... Before we came they had a high rating, but i would not go back... read more

Staff is friendly. Food is good. Service is fast bordering on hovering depending on whom is working. Recent ownership change so fresh paint, tables, long time staff missing and decor changes. Mistakes are made, but watch your bill and look the menu over. Been charged for coffee when just had water. Been charged individual prices for standard combo plates, $13 for 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 sausage patties. I feel this should have been fixed when brought to their attention, but they declined. read more

Flapjack's Cafe had friendly and fast service. They had great food at a good price! The bacon was delicious!

Love this place! Fresh food prepared well. The owner uses as much local sourced food as possible. Every thing we've had there was good. This is a family run business and the owners want to make sure you are provided with a great meal. read more

Great food, fast, friendly, clean, and great value for the money! I'll be going back soon. :-)

so so good and worth going to! i'm from texas so no places have taylor ham on the menu. this place is very good, small, and has really great service! food came out super quick, portions were good and will come back again. read more

We have eaten here multiple times over the last few years. This café has changed hands a few times previously, and we decided to stop in for a late breakfast on Saturday. (In August, the current owners will have Flapjacks Café for 1 year.) The menu has a nice selection with several specials for both breakfast and lunch. We ordered traditional breakfast of eggs over easy, home fries, tomato slices, toast and coffee all of which was good. The staff was friendly and service prompt. Cafe is small with limited seating but clean and neat. Adequate parking; no view as café is located in a strip plaza. We plan on returning as breakfast was enjoyable. read more

Went in, sat, got two coffees. While looking at menus the cook in black attire comes out of the kitchen and goes into the bathroom. Pretty soon strange noises start emanating from the mens room. Was he passing a stone? Giving birth? Doing a plumbing renovation? The waitress tried to cover up his exertions and blame the place next door (which was closed). She turned up the music. The cook came out, wasn't wiping his hands as if he'd washed then picked at his nose and went back into the kitchen, with a pained smile. Total slob. No way we were going to enjoy that breakfast! So we left. read more

Love this place for breakfast or brunch. Great service, great food. I'd also love to leave it at that, but yelp only allows long reviews, which kinda seems to be their MO. Anyone reviewing on yelp, should always give a biz 5 stars and then work out any issue they have in the comments bc anything less than a 5 star hurts the biz that owner work so hard to make possible. Yelp is a bully company that forces small biz to have a listing and you can't delete it, so you don't have a choice but to be on their app. read more

Hello I am new to Venice.. formerly of the Bronx and came here to avoid the brutal winters in New York but mostly for my health which is on a downward spiral. Flapjack's is a delightful welcoming café with excellent food and excellent service.. I will be a frequent customer . Thank you Deb Kelly Venice Florida read more

So happy to see a place that happily accommodates vegans, super delicious, very reasonably priced, excellent service. Will come here every time im in town. All out dishes were amazing. read more

Yummy and reasonable prices. A little crowded...hope they can expand in the future! :)

Very nice people all around. Service to our table was excellent. Picked a time that allowed us to walk right in. Unfortunately, the quantity and quality this time fell a little short. Combo French toast, egg and sausage for the price seemed a little shy of reasonable. Flavor good, just a little skimpy. Cheese omelet not really cooked all the way though and as flat as a pancake. Kind of stood out. Sorry. read more

Sat outside. Small family owned coffee shop serving breakfast n lunch. Waited 15 mins for coffee thrn another 15 mins to order breakfast. Breakfast was very good but it also took a long while and I got white toast when I asked for WWT if sub English was more than $1. It was .50. Coffee and food itself was good..actually coffee was excellent and homefries were tasty and seasoned which in my Fl expirience is a rarity. We were dissaponted in service and time issues but would try again too see if it was a fluke or the norm. Prices are good. Location is convienient. read more

Have great daily specials. The food is very good with a decent portion size. Kinda small so can get packed quick, but the staff is accommodating and friendly. Fairly priced. read more

Found this place by using YELP . Terrific breakfast this morning at Flapjacks! Try the crispy hash skillet - delicious! Hash was crispy and browned perfectly. Hash browns were great too. Hash Benedict was a winner and the hollandaise was amazing. Very affordable pricing. Fabulous food at a great price! Server was delightful - very attentive and helpful - we will definitely be back! read more

Ordered take out for breakfast after reading the reviews. As I walked in, like the other reviews said, there was 1 waitress running around looking stressed out and overwhelmed. Our food was timed perfectly to what estimate she gave over the phone but the feeling inside the restaurant was not relaxed at all. 4/5 read more

Nice wait staff, quick service, loved the sausage links and French Toast. Close location without the island traffic.

Food was awesome! Service was awesome! Highly recommend for breakfast! The place is small but not a problem on a Monday morning. We didn't have to wait long for our food and everything tasted fresh. read more

Good food, reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. Would come here often if we lived in the area.
