Jack Flaps Downtown Cleveland

I don't think there is anything better on a Saturday morning than a nice, leisurely brunch with good company.  And I don't think there is anything better on a Friday afernoon than learning that a popular Ohio City brunch spot has opened a new downtown location.  You guessed it, Jack Flaps recently opened a second restaurant in the 5th Street Arcades in between Prospect and Euclid.  And it's sooooo good.  While I was delighted by the taste and presentation of my meal, I might be even happier that visitors and locals alike aren't forced to flee to Ohio City and Tremont to eat the most important meal of the day - but let me tell you, I will be fleeing from Lakewood to eat at Flap Jacks many times in the near future!

Offering contemporary twists on breakfast classics, almost everything on the Jack Flaps menu has unique ingredients and flavor combinations that you probably haven't seen in other restaurants around town.  I passed on their signature pancakes because I'm more of a savory breakfast person, but think I might have to channel my sweet tooth the next time I go in because they looked and smelled phenomenal.  My breakfast, a simple order of 2 eggs with hashbrowns, sausage (which is spiced vietnamese style and super flavorful) and toast still hit the spot.  Howie's mom's Eggs Benedict plate, however, was much more photogenic...

If I can count on one thing, it's that I will be back in the near future, maybe even for the happy hour from 3-6 on weekdays.  See ya there!
