    Ala carte pancake
    Gina C.

    My pancake was HUGE & fluffy yummy I also ordered Turkey Cobb Salad with low fat dressing delicious I don't think it needs black olives. Marie had West Coast Omelette she loved it. Such big portions we took home half of it. Service was great very attentive never had to wait for anything. Inside we sat by window looking at freeway which was pretty cool too.

    Strawberry waffles

    Came here today for a late lunch before they closed. The food was amazing! The service was great! It's a nice small place with classic movie posters all over the wall. If you know me you know I love that kind of stuff! The food was amazing had banana pancakes and also the strawberry waffles which was truly amazing The service was great we got here a little before closing and they were able to seat us and take of us so really and truly thank you

    FLAPPY JAAACK's That's the call we made when someone in my family suggested we eat here. When my daughter went to school in Orange several years ago Flappy Jack's was part of our routine. My wife and I are back in Anaheim for a couple days and we HAD to make a stop here. The place is as good as ever. Yes, it's a kitschy diner, that's part of its charm. But the real reason to eat here is the huge and wonderful breakfast (and lunch) menu. I've eaten here umpteen times and have always had something different. Today it was the Banana Nut Waffles with sides of fruit and bacon. The waffle was delicious, crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy in the center. Well worth the short drive from MickeyLand. Flap-py Jacks! Flap-py Jacks! FlappyJacks!

    Perched up on a hill overlooking the 55 Freeway, Flappy Jack's is a diner loaded with 50's nostalgia and packed full of people enjoying huge breakfasts. And I'm one of those people. It's a huge menu with something for everyone. I enjoy the omelets, the polish sausage and eggs, and ordering pancakes instead of toast -- it's an option with no upcharge -- brings a huge fluffy pancake to enjoy along with your savory meal. There is a page of crepes and many gluten-free pancakes available, so this is a favorite of friends who are gluten-sensitive. I hear the burgers and sandwiches are good (that's what my husband gets) but when there are this many delicious breakfast options, why get a burger? FYI: parking can be a total pain on the weekends and the wait can be long. But the servers are lightning fast, so people are constantly being seated, which helps.

    Food was so good!! We sat down almost immediately and food was brought out warm and quick. The stuffed French toast was simply incredible and it was so much food!

    Always love this place! Wasn't super crowded today which was nice--there were actually spots available in the lot! Service is always wonderful! It was nice to meet my boss here and catch up while having our holiday gathering. The food was wonderful as always. My boss got the El Paso omelette and chocolate chip waffle. I went with the banana nut waffle and made it a combo with eggs and bacon. We left satisfied and with plenty of leftovers! Thank you, Flappy Jack's!

    Eggs and turkey sausage plate
    Anastasia V.

    I saw someone describe this as a "no frills" diner and yup that's accurate. Was recommended this breakfast joint by my coworker, so I decided to give it a try after work. Because I arrived at 8am on a random weekday, I didn't experience issues with parking or getting a table. The parking spots are small though. There are so many options on the menu, so I took a bit of time to decide on what to get. I ended up getting a classic eggs and turkey sausage plate, which was about $19. To be honest, the food came out and I was kinda regretting my order. It reminded me that I should've just gone home and cooked breakfast for way cheaper. The food was nothing special. The scrambled eggs weren't even fluffy. It kinda reminded me of cafeteria or hospital breakfast. I was also given my check while I was halfway into taking a bite of food and my plate was still full. I thought that was rude...

    Biscuts and Gravy!
    Samara G.

    I used to go to the location in Glendora, CA all the time when it was there and I used to live in the IE. Now that I live in the OC and the other location is closed, this is now my go-to spot for that comfort food. Parking can be a bit tricky, and there can be a bit of a wait, so I do recommend either getting there earlier than you anticipated. Service is great, even when they're jammed packed, they are on top of all their tables, and you don't feel rushed. This place has that classic diner feel, the art, the homage to the classic actors, etc. It's homey and comfy for sure! I get different foods, on this day I got the biscuits and gravy, because that was the mood. Hit that with a bit of extra pepper, it hits the spot for sure! Hubby got a country skillet, and he was very happy with that, everything was cooked to perfection. Bonus! If you're a hot chocolate fan like I am, there are free refills on it! Wooo! So If you haven't been, once again, patience is a virtue, but it's totally worth it!

    Good jelly selection

    Hello Fellow Yelpers Tried a new breakfast spot today. All I can say is WOW. The place is hidden next to a Chevron station on a very small street. Parking is a bit tricky, but doable. I was told this place is packed on the weekends. They have the best coffee and fluffiest pancakes I have had. Show them some love and stop by and grab some yummy food Shout out to the great wait staff Remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful Happy Yelping and follow me for more awesome reviews .

    Crispy well done waffle. Loved it!
    a.b. f.

    Pretty darn good waffles! I asked for crispy well done waffles and I got it done just right! The menu said "fresh" strawberries and the server served it with strawberries in a red sauce. When I mentioned it wad supposed to be "fresh" strawberries, he immediately took care of it! Good service, refilled my coffee many times and food was pretty good!

    Best diner around. I always love going here with the family. So lively all the time and our server was amazing.

    Been coming to Flappy Jack's for years now -- it's always such a great spot for breakfast if you're craving comfort food and generous portions! The servings are huge, I can never finish a plate on my own and always end up taking leftovers home. I went over the weekend and tried the German Pancake, Stuffed French Toast, Burger, and West Coast Omelette. The burger normally comes with bacon, but since I don't eat pork, I substituted turkey bacon (there's a small upcharge). Everything was delicious -- the German Pancake was my first time trying it and it was surprisingly light and fluffy, while the other pancakes are a bit heavier but always amazing. Despite being a Saturday morning, our party of seven didn't wait long to be seated, and the staff was friendly and attentive as always. Overall, a reliable, welcoming spot for hearty breakfast classics. Highly recommend!

    Chorizo Wrap
    Brigette G.

    Came here for late breakfast with my kids and it's always such a great experience. No wait on a Friday morning and the service is always exceptional! Ambience is very family friendly. Our waitress was extremely helpful and friendly and kept the coffee pouring! I had the Monte cristo and it was very flavorful. I did not care for the pasta salad it came with. The portions are big and worth the price Great restaurant can't wait for come back .

    Ask the Community - Flappy Jack's Pancake House

    What is the parking situation?

    There is a good-sized parking lot directly in front of Flappy Jack's. It can get quite full on weekends although I've never been unable to find a spot.

    Does this location still have the old owners?

    Yes! Our Orange location is still and always will be under the original ownership!

    Are you open on Christmas Day?

    No they are closed

    Does flappy jacks in Anaheim Hills take reservations?

    No it doesn't

    Are dogs allowed for outside dining?

    Not much sitting outside there is only like 2/3 tables but it looks like it should be fine.

    Are you taking reservations for Mother's Day?

    Maybe

    Do you guys have outside seating now?

    Yes, they have a covered temporary patio set up for outdoor dining.

    Do they take RSVP?

    I don't think so.

    Can I still order pickup from this location?

    No. They are completely closed until further notice.

    Any nutritional information on the food?

    I don't think so. If they did, not many would order it. It's very rich and very good to the taste. Whenever you have that combination it's best not to know cause the calorie count and fat content you s off the charts.

    Is there any vegan options? Yelp is saying they do but I'm not seeing anything.

    My husband and I are vegan and love the Cali Skillet. We order with no cheese and the egg on the side which we give to our daughter. It's filling and yummy

    Are they open on The 4th of July?

    4th

    Is there a patio area so I can bring my dog?

    Sorry, no patio area

    Do they have gluten free pancakes or waffles?

    Yes they have a gluten-free menu including pancakes and waffles the only downside is the seating time could be as much as 30 to 40 minutes

    Do they take reservations or do call ahead?

    We had tried and they said no. But they sat our group of 10 in about 20 minutes on a very busy Saturday morning.

I also visit the Chapman Avenue location in Orange because it's close to home. The food has consistently been excellent -- great pancakes, outstanding bacon, and truly exceptional fresh orange juice. The quality of the ingredients has never been in question. What has become a problem is the price. Breakfast has traditionally been the most affordable meal of the day, yet the cost here now rivals what I would spend taking my entire family out to a nice dinner. When you're charging premium prices, the service and environment should match that standard. Unfortunately, our recent visit to the Orange location was extremely disappointing. We stood at the podium for several minutes without being greeted. Multiple servers walked past us, made eye contact, and said nothing -- not even a simple "We'll be right with you." Meanwhile, a young employee was casually chatting with a coworker at the bus station, clearly more focused on small talk than on guests waiting to be seated. When our server finally approached the table, he leaned against our booth as if he couldn't be bothered to stand upright and delivered a rushed, mumbled line that sounded like one long word: "coffeejuicewaterorsomethingtodrink." No greeting, no introduction, no courtesy. We gave our coffee order, and he walked away without acknowledging us. The service continued in the same tone. Drinks were dropped off with visible annoyance. When my wife accidentally over‑sweetened her coffee and politely asked for a fresh cup, the server took the mug without a word and returned several minutes later looking irritated. She said "Thank you," and he ignored her. She repeated it louder, and he still walked away without responding. It's hard to overstate how disrespectful and apathetic the staff felt during this visit. When servers behave this way, it reflects directly on management. The attitude, the lack of basic courtesy, and the sense that guests are an inconvenience -- it all points to a culture that has gone unchecked for far too long. On top of that, the restaurant itself shows clear signs of deferred maintenance. Worn surfaces, dirty areas, and general neglect do not inspire confidence about what the kitchen might look like behind the scenes. We left feeling disappointed and honestly a bit sad. This used to be a place we loved. With prices this high, guests should receive warm, attentive service and a clean, well‑maintained environment -- not indifference and irritation.

Not great but not bad. The granddaughter loved her meal. She ate over half of the hamburger (pretty good for her age). She ate all of her fries and part of mine. The portions on the Kid's meal were generous. The added bonus were the two lollipops that came with. This meal was in a kid friendly paper bag. The price was a bit up there but that's pretty much standard at most burger places.

I actually moved to the City of Orange in my early 20s during MY college days and IMO at that time, it was truly a retirement town. It was always peaceful where traffic was at a minimal and everyone's bedtime was by 10pm. I recalled being a typical Asian woman driver and always went the wrong direction at the roundabout. Things have changed so much since then. My own son has already graduated from college and now accompanies me going to that same roundabout, except now there's a lot more nicer restaurants and bars. We made our way to Urth Cafe and it wasn't as busy as I had expected, especially when compared to the locations in L.A. and Pasadena. I personally think this is my favorite location so far because it actually feels cozier (my son said the same about the cozy vibe). We both ordered an Omelette - mine was a Pesto Chicken with cheese. I actually requested to not have Goat cheese on mine but it came with it - so that was as why I had to remove 1 star out of 5 :( My Chicken soup tasted marvelous and my Latte was beautifully crafted. It was a great Sunday and I was so glad my son also had a great time!
