Flipper's

Chicken and waffles platePlainThe flavour is so pure and creamy!It is a real treat for those who love sweets!Zundu super yummy pancake!The whole restaurant is in a warm style, super healing and cosy!

Ok, here's my confession. I live walking distance to this spot and have heard so many great things but am only now trying it. No idea what took me so long because it's legit!The first win for me is the menu options. You've got me at chicken and waffles plus soufflé pancakes. The cream that comes with those should be an entree. The chicken and waffles portion is nothing less but hefty. I was surprised to get not one, not two but three fried thighs! Yum! If only other places could deal like this. There tends to be a line on weekend mornings but nothing that should stop you. They have indoor and outdoor seating but there's something energetic about sitting under their bright yellow umbrellas. Really just screams WeHo.

Loved this place! I had bookmarked Flippers since it came to Fairfax and finally had an opportunity to do brunch on a sunny Saturday in January. Mind you, the parking lot is micro and only fits a few cars, so be prepared to look for street parking. Even close to the lunch hour, my boyfriend and I were seated immediately having the choice of a table inside (it's too crowded being so close to the serving counter) or dine al fresco, which we opted to under the heaters. Take your sunglasses, it's bright! But that's the vibe on beautiful, sunny days. Our waiter was great and brought us the classic flippers pancakes to start -- it's their signature dish, and a must! We gobbled it down - so light and fluffy, you can practically inhale it! Next, we had our delicious entrees which didn't disappoint. Mine being the two eggs any style being the very heart chicken and waffle! Theres so much to try here, it's worth coming back to the patio here and we will!

Food was delicious but the drinks sucked, dont get the boba drinks or matcha. Both tasted super watery. We mainly came for the fluffy pancakes and they were delicious!

Flipper's is officially my new favorite brunch spot! The restaurant itself is spacious, with most of its seating outdoors, making it perfect for soaking up the LA sunshine. Inside, the seating is limited but cozy.Now, let's talk about the food & drinks--they're incredible! I started with an iced caramel latte, and it was so good! It had a unique flavor that really stood out. The soufflé pancakes were cooked to perfection: light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. They practically melt in your mouth! I also tried the hashbrown patties, and wow, they did not disappoint. I'm a French fry lover, but there's something truly special about their hashbrowns--crispy, flavorful, and just amazing. We also tried the chicken and waffles which were also pretty yummy! As I looked around the restaurant, I noticed there was not a single food item that didn't look appetizing, and that's saying a lot! Service is fast and friendly. Parking is limited in the parking lot but you are sure to find a meter on the street.Flipper's is definitely worth a visit!

This place is so cute and quaint! I would recommend sitting outside because inside is very tiny and loud. The service was super quick. The server who sat us down did not give us a brief insight on how the signature pancakes would take 20-30 minutes to cook. We overheard the server talk to the other table about this after I ordered the pancake and just felt a bit neglected. I got the fresh fruit pancake and they were definitely soft and fluffy. The fruits really add to balance out the sweetness. The eggs Benedict a were amazing too. The sweetness of the pancakes went well with the savory eggs, ham, and greens. I am glad I tried the iconic pancakes!

This is a cute and fun place I'd try once and never again. Their breakfast burrito wasn't that great but the spicy sauce that accompanied it saved the dish for me. Bacon was nonexistent and skimped on. Erewhon literally has better breakfast burritos. The matcha pancakes weren't that outstanding. The flavors were really good but the texture was like a soggy sponge. The service wasn't that great either and they take a long time.

I've got to tell you...I underestimated Flippers. I said "what else can you do to pancakes?"...apparently a lot. This souffle business is no joke... I went on a random Monday so there was no wait but I anticipate this place is booked and busy because the food is THAT good. My friend and I decided to split a pancake and a savory dish and wanted to try a souffle pancake because it's a specialty and where else are you going to get it? We were worried about something like the caramel banana chocolate being too heavy so we went with the fresh fruit pancake and HOLY COW. It was light and sweet without being too overpowering. Syrup wasn't necessary because the maple cream does the job perfectly. I was hooked after the first bite and can't wait to go back and try another combo. Mind blown by souffle pancakes. We also got the eggs Benedict, they allowed us to mix flavors so we got one salmon and one ham and they were done so very well. Perfectly cooked egg, delicious hollandaise and it didn't register that it came on their pancake until after we got it (it says so on the menu though, we can't read) and it was such a nice surprise. The whole dish worked extremely well together. Absolutely no complaints. The food was spectacular and came out quickly. We also got a side of hashbrowns and avocado which complimented our dishes, plus coffee and a passion fruit green tea. With this we spent around $40 each which is pretty good to me. Service was great, no complaints and the vibe was great with an awesome 2000s throwback playlist. 5 stars, definitely going back. LOVED it.

Everything was delicious. We joined the waitlist and were seated immediately upon arrival. There's ample patio seating and limited indoor seating. Our server was attentive and food came out timely. 5 stars Soufflé pancakes-fluffy and soft with a generous amount of whipped cream.5 stars Chicken and Waffles-juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside with just the right amount of flavor. Bonus caramel syrup.5 stars-breakfast burrito bursting with flavor.5 stars-2 eggs with choice of smoked salmon, salad, avocado, hash brown, and juicy cherry tomatoes. Worth the wait.

Finding a good brunch spot in LA is hard. We got Flippers to-go, so this review skips the vibes and focuses on the food.The Order: * Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon ($23): Decent but lacked flavor. * Flipper's Pancake ($17) & Strawberry Pancake ($19): Overhyped. The pancakes themselves, which were supposed to be the highlight, were disappointing--they were too eggy in flavor and didn't really come with much on the side. Both pancake dishes mainly came with cream, and not the kind that made it taste better. * Truffle Fries ($9): Average. * Breakfast Sausage ($6): Skip it. * Hash Browns ($8): Crispy but oily. * Cafe Latte ($6) & Mocha ($6): Disappointing.The Stats: * Portions: 4/5 - Decent portion sizes for most items. * To-Go Experience: 3/5 - Long wait despite ordering ahead, and the food just didn't travel well. * Taste: 3/5 - Bland and underwhelming.Overall, the food fell short of expectations, and while the pricing is typical for LA, it's hard to justify given how disappointing the flavors were. Their pancakes, in particular, are not that great and fall short of what you'd expect from a place specializing in soufflé pancakes. It might be worth trying in person for the experience, but based on this takeaway order, it's a 3/5.
