Cozy diner with homestyle breakfast. We loved our very berry pancakes and country fried steak. Their coffees especially the caramel macchiato is amazing.

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.

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.
