Went to happy Jack at 11am on a Tuesday morning and still had a 30 minute wait time. This popular breakfast spot is very delicious and definitely worth the wait. They have indoor and outdoor dining.
Our server was amazing, our breakfast was delicious an we will surely be returning.

Pancakes were delicious!!! Our waitress Karen was on point and very attentive. The food came out super quick especially with a group of 5 ordering. Highly recommend the home fries so crispy and tasty!

Jessy was a delightful waitress. She was very attentive and professional. All the food was tasty except the loaded potato omelette 😔... All other food was delicious 😋 and the dark roast coffee as exceptionally good.
