Best American Restaurant in Sacramento

I enjoy supporting FlapJacks, a locally owned small business serving quality diner food in the heart of Arden-Arcade. The service is always friendly, the food is consistently good, and the prices are fair. It’s also a great spot for the occasional breakfast business meeting.

Very cozy place! Staff is nice and attentive. We were seated quickly. Ended up getting the Saturday special. They do have a lot of selections on the menu, so the food is okay. Flapjacks are filling.

I took a risk on the carrot pancakes and it paid off big time. Great flavor, texture, and portions easily feed two. Bacon & eggs were pretty decent as well. Enjoyed it!👍🏽

When you first come in, there's a coat rack next to the door. The layout is a bit weird. There's a waiting area to the right with limited seating. There's seating (tables, not booths) in a separate room directly in the back and an awkward booth facing the waiting area. There's some seating right next to the cash register for a party of 2 or people coming by themselves. Those are the only tables actually facing a TV, but they're also right in front of the kitchen. Staff will constantly be walking in front of you or having their backsides turned to you. All the other booths are along the wall on the left side. The ones next to the window are for small parties, and the ones next to the kitchen have more room for bigger parties. If you want to watch TV in those seats, you'd have to turn your neck to the left or right. When it comes to the food, I think it's pretty good. I've had their eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, and strawberries. I don't like that the fruit topping for the waffles comes hot. The waffles get all soggy. I just ask for fresh fruit, which are the strawberries. They do give enough whipped cream, butter, and syrup for the waffles. The food is pretty affordable, and the portions are nice. For the drinks, I've only had their mimosas. They taste great, but they're more like juice. I hardly taste any sparkling wine. The service is okay. The food comes out relatively quickly, but when you need a staff member, it takes a while to get their attention. Even when I'm done eating and waiting for the check, it can take several minutes. It's very awkward to stand at the register and wait for a staff member to ring you (and a couple of other people) up on the weekend because there's already a lot people in the waiting area, so there's just a crowd of people standing there. Overall, I do like this place. I'll have to come back to try stuff on their lunch menu.
