    "Mango Iced Tea." It was just okay.
    Wes F.

    This review is based on three different visits over the past couple of months. Flipper's is fairly new to the neighborhood I live in, and they're a welcomed addition to the Fairfax District in West Hollywood. Please see the picture of the menu to get a full description of the meals I've eaten. First up was the "Two Eggs Any Style." I ordered scrambled eggs with bacon and the portions were good for the price. For me, the bacon wasn't very crispy and a little too greasy, but it tasted good enough. This meal comes with a salad, with a tasty dressing; avocados, tomatoes, and two tiny pieces of toast. I ordered a side of fries ($9, yikes) that were perfect. Crispy and very warm. Next visit I had the "Mushroom Omelette." It was a good size omelette and was hot upon delivery. I chose the bacon which again was tasty, but not crispy and too greasy. To compliment my meal, I selected the fries and toast which came with my meal. On another visit, I selected the "Croque Madame." This was really good and a decent sized portion. It arrived very warm and tasted great. I tried the Home Fries with this meal, and I was disappointed. They were overcooked and cold. I should have ordered the fries as those are great. I had a side of a Japanese style "Strawberry Banana Pancake" and it was very flavorful and delicious. The pancake also had blueberries inside. The staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions with the menu. My only complaint with two of the three visits is having to ask for refills of coffee, butter for the toast, extra napkins, etc. Unfortunately, on each visit no one came back to check up on us after the food was dropped. Not a deal breaker and I'll continue to eat here, but the service could be elevated a bit. Limited free parking in front or plenty of metered parking on Fairfax Avenue.

    Caramel banana, chocolate pancake! Delicious!

    Great neighborhood gem! We've been several times already! and I keep wanting to go back to try all the dishes. The food tastes great and presentation matches the menu photos. Every staff memeber we've experienced are friendly, [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a large patio and plenty of outddoor seating most of the tables and seats are spread out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The biggest fav and plug is it's dog friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But my only request is to better keep the ground cleaner. 2nd time I noticed the ground had debris and looked dirty, therefore I don't care to leave my pup on the ground in some areas[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    Eggs Benedict

    Visually perfect. See attached. So misleading. Chicken very over fried, meat hard to discern from dry bones. Special syrup so sweet it was inedible. Made me think abt how good the chicken and waffles are at yardbird. If this is the thought running thru my mind at Flipper's... not a good sign. The husband, of his eggs benny, said "the egg, ham, salad, etc. was delicious, but pancake base is v dry. The hollandaise, not the biggest fan. Tastes v off." I will never, ever be back.

    Bacon, Sausage, Hashbrowns, Maple Butter Pancake
    Aslan T.

    Surprised that there wasn't a wait for a Friday. We ordered and everything came out in a timely manner. All the sides were really good (especially the hashbrowns), the pancakes on the other hand were okay. I've had soufflé pancakes before at another restaurant and I feel like I was basing my idea on how it would taste on those pancakes. These pancakes were moist and didn't really have flavor so I didn't really like them. The maple butter is different but I think I can do without

    Welcome to Flipper's. #Fairfax #Hollywood

    I would not wish any breakfast companion in the world but you. Without further delay let's begin this spectacular review. Flipper's is a popular local breakfast spot in WeHo that offer a breadth of items. It is located in a tiny plaza on Fairfax avenue. From Japanese style soufflé pancakes to chicken 'n waffle to burgers and fries and toasts etc. We came as first time customer and arrived on a late sunny morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its exterior bldg has a vibrant yellow that really stands out on the street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior and exterior atmosphere were relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a Fruit Pancakes and OJ. Both were absolutely delightful. Pancakes were soft and fluffy and its fruits were fresh as well as my OJ. A young white female staff was affable and warm. Service was spot on albeit depends on what you order. For instance, soufflé pancakes take ~20 mins to make. It's just how they're made. Prices were fairly marked. Parking lot and street metered parking are available. Collectively, it is a nice little breakfast spot with instagramable food. ;D Lol. Overall, I bloody enjoyed their pancakes! I recommend them.

    Fresh Fruit (Soufflé) Pancakes
    Amy S.

    First of all, let me just say that I'm a native Angeleno in case that matters to you (it should). I'm not new to the brunch lifestyle. And, I'm a repeat customer at Flipper's, which says a lot. I rarely return to a place unless it deserves my time and money. Flipper's definitely does! Flipper's is a neighborhood gem and is always such a great experience. The soufflé pancakes absolutely live up to the hype. They're fluffy, light, and somehow still rich and satisfying without feeling too heavy. The presentation is beautiful, and the food actually tastes as good as it looks, which isn't always the case with trendy brunch spots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Flipper's has a Palm Springs vibe: bright, stylish, and relaxed, with a fire pit(!).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And, the staff is generally kind and attentive. I also appreciate that the menu has a good balance of sweet and savory options: I've ordered and highly recommend: the Croque Madame, Fried Chicken & Truffles, 2 Eggs Any Style, Chicken & Waffles...and, of course, the Fresh Fruit Soufflé Pancakes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Flipper's is the kind of place that feels fun for a solo coffee date, brunch with friends, or taking out-of-town guests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've never had a wait, but I tend to pop in during non-peak hours (mostly weekdays). Flipper's is one of the few Instagram-famous spots that actually delivers.

    Strawberry Soufflé Pancake
    Camille G.

    The soufflé pancakes are such a yummy delicacy! I came as a solo diner and got seated immediately at the bar. My pancakes were ready in a shorter time than my waitress expected which was a nice treat. I was given maple syrup but honestly these are great without any syrup so I didn't even need it! My onlyyyy critique is that the chicken i ordered on the side was meh. Overcooked and tough chicken bites that were hard to eat. I could've gone without ordering the chicken bites. But the soufflé pancakes were great!

    Strawberry Banana Pancake and Maple Butter Pancake
    Maria D.

    The food and vibe was top notch! We were seated immediately as we arrived to our reservation. Parking was bit tedious as I had to park a block away, but the restaurant is located in a plaza with some of its own parking. Our server was fantastic and accommodating. Our food came to us exactly as we ordered and in a timely manner. We also got a side of chicken and breakfast potatoes afterward and it was delicious. I would definitely return, my friend and I will definitely be returning and recommending Flipper's to our friends and family. Thank you for the amazing breakfast!!

    Eggs & toast
    Sam E.

    I had a nice brunch at Flippers. Sat outside and the vibe was really laid back classic brunch place. They are most known for their fluffy pancakes, but I was in more of a savory mood so I got their mushroom, spinach, & cheese omelette with toast, bacon, and hashbrowns. The eggs were super fluffy. Loved the hashbrowns they were extremely crispy just the way I like them. I asked for the bacon well done which they also honored and I appreciated that. Service was a bit slow and inattentive. One of our orders came late and did not arrive until we asked our waitress to check on it for us. But despite that still had a yummy meal. Would come back again for a small group brunch. Next time, I would definitely come with a sweet craving and try one of their fluffy pancakes!

    Flipper's Pancake
    James S.

    Absolute charmer. Wonderful variety and tastes are found at Flipper's. We thought to come in for the lemon-ricotta pancakes, but ended up going in a different direction. How Hollywood. Technically, this is West Hollywood, but wherever you map it, Flipper's is definitely worth visiting. The mushroom spinach cheese omelette has many ways to customize: pick a protein plus a few other options, and you're set. The lox was a slight upcharge, but man, they loaded it up nicely. This is one packed, flavorful omelet. Recommend the home fries, too (or choose salad). Homefries have a bit of a kick: they are cubed, not greasy, and a great complement to the omelette. Sourdough toast to round things out. A ton of food for $18. Note on the coffee: Bottomless, and really good. I swear there were maple syrup notes to the black coffee. How pompous to say, fine. Still, that flavor was subtle (maybe even subliminal), and had a special quality to it. Also tried the Chicken and Waffles. Big win. The dark meat is moist and covered in a crispy breaded layer that is delicious and very easy to eat. Love the maple butter syrup, and the house special: whipped strawberry butter. I thought both of those additions (served on the side) would be too much for me, but I really liked them both. If that doesn't suit, you, each table has its own regular maple syrup. A ton of food for $20. The waffles are served kind of soft - almost cakey. Though flavorful, I prefer a bit of a crunch to my waffles, but no complaints. And, since I took home almost half of my order, they got some crunch when warmed in the toaster. For scientific purposes, we tried an order of their soufflé pancakes. Officially, Flipper's Pancake. Lovely, eggy, light and a tad sweet. Yum. Though there are many other varieties available (such as Fresh Fruit or Macha et al), I wanted to get a baseline first - and it was delicious. The whipped cream served with is a cozy complement that is so good. They fall apart easily (use the recommended two-fork method). Service was great. Outside is preferable as you're far enough from the street, and the air is good. Inside seems a bit loud, and it bit too cozy. Nice tunes playing on the patio, just loud enough to still have a conversation. A handful of parking spots off Fairfax on premises. Or, street parking. So happy to find Flipper's! 4.5 Stars.

    The best soufflé pancakes outside of Japan! Such an excellent breakfast spot -- it's well worth the drive to Fairfax from LAX. You can't beat the flavor and consistency of these pancakes. The restaurant has a bright yellow theme, with both indoor and outdoor seating, makes the whole experience feel cheerful and lively. Service can be a bit slow since the pancakes take about 20 minutes to prepare, but they're absolutely worth the wait!

    We sat outside in the patio as the restaurant is on the smaller side. I missed the soufflé pancakes in Japan and these were soooo yummy 10/10 for sure! I literally ate everything on my plate! The cream is just enough sweetener for the pancakes no syrup needed! Fresh fruit and tadaaaa! My sister n-law had the egg Benedict and she dates it as 10/10. A hot pot of tea and cold coffee to the order and done deal! Everything was perfect! I highly recommend to park around the area and walk as there is limited parking space in the restaurant. We went after the whole morning rush so it was nice and sunny not too crowded. A must try for sure!!!

The restaurant had a constant buzz from how busy it was, making it feel like a popular local spot. While it could get a little loud during peak hours, the vibrant environment added to the overall experience and made it feel like a place people genuinely enjoy visiting. The service, however, was the biggest downside of our visit. While the restaurant was busy, the staff didn't seem very attentive or welcoming. It took a while to get checked on, and it often felt like we had to flag someone down when we needed something. The overall service felt rushed and a bit unorganized, which didn't match the quality of the food. Overall, I'd still recommend The Griddle Cafe because the food was outstanding and easily deserves a 5/5. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and if the service becomes more consistent, this would easily be one of my favorite brunch spots.

After driving by several times, I finally had the opportunity to stop on in. Parking is metered street, and I was lucky to find a spot right across the way around 10:30a during the week. As you walk in, the host stand is at the end and there is seating to your left. My friend was already seated here, so I just walked on in to table. A nice waitress came over shortly thereafter, and I ordered a cocoa with oatmilk (small). This 'small' was served in a glass, whereas a large would be in a typical mug you would expect. As for the drink, it was pretty good. As we caught up, I perused the menu and decided on a side of tater tots and for the first time in my life, I ordered banana bread which I was told was the closest thing to a breakfast pastry on their menu, while he went with a chickpea scramble (no bread). I don't feel it took too long for the food to arrive since we were catching up and enjoying our drinks. The restaurant was getting busier around this time as well. The banana bread had Maldon sea salt and honeycomb butter. This wasn't bad at all; I just never really had this before but I did finish it (got the remainder of it to go for later). The tater tots were just tater tots, nothing special but a larger portion which would be great for sharing alongside a side of ketchup. Service was welcoming, the space is nice, restrooms are two separate ones for all genders. Other guests that sat near us were friendly as well which made for an all-around pleasant experience. No photos taken since I was actually enjoying the company I was in. There were a few choices I was given today to meet up, and I'm glad I chose this one. Would be willing to try pizza or their pasta dishes on a future (later) visit. Note: I did see quite a few cops in the area, so I don't know if they are nabbing people for jaywalking or something else, so just be aware-
