"And in the Mornin' I'm eatin' Waffles" : Jack Flaps

If you're in Cleveland Ohio, you will find Jack Flaps.

A place that just may have you doing back flaps.. I mean back flips...

Jack Flaps is a hip breakfast and brunch spot right outside of downtown. 

The inside of this restaurant is modern, and they have a few cool photographs strewn across the walls of what appears to may be the owners. The photo's seem to bring the place life. We really enjoyed them!

After arriving we found the place to be full of people, and a bunch of people were waiting outside. We were told there would be a wait.

So, we waited. There wasn't much space for waiting and definitely not any seating. If I were to make any suggestions for the restaurant it would be to make some more room! Not always possible though.

While waiting we scoured over the brief menu. They have quite a few interesting plates. Seth had a hard time picking between the Benedicto Mexicano and the shrimp and grits. Finally, he decided he would try the Mexican inspired dish, and I didn't want to pass up the beautiful waffles they offer!

We were finally seated at the bar, with a few others. And we were brought out our plates briefly after.

Benedicto Mexicano

All you Mexican food fans out there, ready yourselves for an awesome one of a kind breakfast dish.

Mexican Eggs Benedict! This dish consists of Jalapeno corn bread, topped with Chorizo Ranchero gravy, Herb Crema, and sunny side up Eggs. 

The chorizo ranchero gravy was loaded with flavor. It had a little bit of kick, but was at perfect level for someone who enjoys spicy food. The gravy had a bold taste of peppers and spices which was definitely appreciated. The cornbread was the best thing about this dish. The cornbread had the same flavor as an authentic Mexican corn tortilla, and I thought that was very clever.

The tortilla pulled everything together perfectly, giving it a nice traditional Mexican flavor and still playing the part of a breakfast dish at the same time, which was a beautiful flavor hybrid.

I definitely recommend this dish to anyone who likes their breakfast with a little spicy twist.

Raspberry Crisp Waffle

This fluffy waffle was covered with raspberry coulis, vanilla mascarpone, and granola.

It was a decent Waffle that had a lot of different textures you don't normally find with other Waffles. The Waffle itself was fluffy which isn't always a good thing, but it wasn't a bad thing either. The tang of the raspberry went well with the granola. A little more crispness on the Waffle would have been great, but no complaints. We both enjoyed how beautifully presented it was!

Jack Flaps is definitely a new age breakfast restaurant that has plenty of food you might not find in very many locations.

Our Tasty Taste Test meter votes that we would give this restaurant another try! Just make sure that you're not in a hurry, because with great tastes also sometimes comes a longer wait. 

Until our next foodie adventure, Tasty~
