Flapjacks Pancake House

Had a really nice breakfast at Flapjacks Pancake House in Lincoln, NH! The pancakes were fluffy, generous in portion, and exactly what you want after a long drive or morning hike. Maple butter was delicious. We also ordered veggie omelette and it was good as well. The menu has a lot of classic options, and everything we ordered came out hot and fresh. The atmosphere is cozy and very “New Hampshire cabin” style — great spot for families. Service was friendly and efficient, even though it was pretty busy. Kids loved the train that was going around in the restaurant. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the wait time — it can get crowded, especially on weekends — but overall it’s definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!

WORTH THE WAIT! Both times we’ve been here on vacation there has been a line- but it is 1000% worth the wait!! The food was fantastic, best home fries I’ve ever had, and the entire staff was so kind. There is such a friendly atmosphere and the mission of the Beth Foundation is wonderful. If you have time to wait I would strongly recommend!

This was our second visit to Flapjacks, and my son loved it so much the first time that we had to come back. It was very busy, but no one seemed to mind waiting, even outside in the cold , and then a bit longer once inside. Despite the crowd, everything moved at a steady pace. The staff was very friendly, our waitress was attentive and welcoming, and the food was absolutely out of this world. We only wish we lived closer!

My husband and I were visiting from out of town, and I knew I wanted to try this place out for breakfast. I'm typically an omelet gal when it comes to breakfast places, but when you're known for your pancakes how do you decline?! We both had their berry pancake special for the day, and boy was it phenomenal. The service was also great and watching the train go around the space was a fun little addon. Despite it being very busy, we only waited about 30 minutes or so. My only suggestion is for them to also sell stickers!

OKAYYY, let’s jump into it! So the pancakes were amazing! Your boy got the blueberry and My Love got the French toast. Our server was knowledgeable and very polite to our group. We loved their train setup! It would go around the whole restaurant which was cute watching the kids run around looking for it. Would definitely recommend going around opening time because there is guaranteed a line out the door!

Flapjacks Pancake House is a must go!! It’s first come, first serve. The line moves fast! We sat at the bar which was a pleasant experience. Our server Del was friendly, funny, and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the #1: One local farm fresh egg: scrambled, sausage, potatoes, and rye toast. The home fried potatoes with sautéd onions were very delicious. We both orderer flapjacks. I got one blueberry and Mike got three stacked chocolate chip flapjacks. They were light, fluffy, topped with delicious cinnamon sugar butter with local maple syrup! Mike also ordered a breakfast sandwich on wheat toast. The bacon was thin, crispy, and sweet. The atmosphere was cozy and mountainy. I would recommend this diner! We had a very pleasant experience and will definitely be coming back!

Flapjacks is worth standing in line for! Great local restaurant with yummy and delicious food! The egg's over medium were perfect! Save room for the buttermilk pancakes!

Food was delicious and the service was great. Oh and the mimosas were good too. We will definitely be back.

Finally made it here during our fall trip and it was worth waiting outside for 30 minutes in a line! (Locals probably thought we were nuts) Ordered the hungry "cub" and "bear" breakfast dishes and there were superb. The maple butter was a nice twist and the crunchy French toast was mouthwatering. It was refreshing to choose iced coffee, which I didn't know was a thing for most breakfast spots as they usually serve hot. Will definitely come back when vacationing in NH

The staff was motivated & friendly. The food came quickly. My chorizo omelet was very good as well as the potatoes. The coffee was excellent. If I had a complaint it would just be the wait. They obviously have great food and are rewarded with a vast clientele. So be prepared to wait to be seated. In my opinion it's worth the wait. I recommend it.

Currently FJ's a 4.5 stars and that's what I would give it too if I could. Initial impressions were not so good due to the fact that we were not greeted at all for quite a while. We kept seeing waiters working and thought wow we must be waiting for a hostess. Eventually ( 5 min at least) a waitress said good morning because she was cleaning the table RIGHT NEXT to where you have to wait. I asked if they had a hostess and she said no. Couple minutes later another waitress said hello and she'd seat us in a min. Once seated it was all good. Our waitress was sweet and very friendly. Our food selections were top notch! 1. Crab cake eggs Benedict- strong crab flavor, good, very thin crab cakes almost like a spread of crab cake 2. #4 one flapjack one egg one bacon one "sweet sausage" I chose blueberry flapjack- best blueberry pancake I've had and I might need to go back and get another before leaving town!!! Everything was done SO well, perfectly toasty and seasoned potatoes, eggs, bacon, sausage all tasty and cooked perfectly. The BEST part though was being offered hot sauce and being PLEASANTLY surprised by Cholula (the best) AND a homemade habanero hot sauce in a reused Franks bottle which is exactly what I do at home! I make and bottle my own homemade hot sauces (in TX) and certainly didn't expect that in New Hampshire! I think this might be a rarity here in the NE idk but so far other establishments do NOT have hot sauces much less their own homemade really good sauce. Overall this place was excellent and I'd go back for sure.

Visiting from TX and saw this on yelp so had to check it out! It was absolutely delicious breakfast! The staff the food the service was all excellent! Had a little wait roughly 20min or so for 2 people. I also have a food allergy (tree nut) and they said they couldn't guarantee that cross contamination could potentially happen because when cooking pancakes etc on the griddle it is a slight possibility but was told they would cook my pancakes on a section of griddle and clear it off as best as they could. It was for sure worth the risk and I had no issues with the pancakes! Thank you for accommodating my food allergy! If ever back in the area will for sure be back!

Yum. Yum, yum, YUM! This is a cute, rustic breakfast spot that you don't want to miss out on. The service is quick, the food comes in what feels like a blink of an eye, and your meal is bound to be super tasty. I'm failing to remember the exact name of the breakfast I ordered, but I think it was the hungry as a cub breakfast. It was home fries, one egg cooked to order, a slice of bacon, and a massive flapjack with a glob of butter on it. My husband got the ham and cheese omelette and loved it. My meal was awesome! And, the best part, they use only REAL maple syrup that was tapped and rendered down right in New Hampshire. I was so, so impressed by that! Definitely stop here for a filling breakfast!

We went early on a Friday morning. Fast and friendly service. I got French toast and my husband got an omelet. Main courses were good. Home fries were really burned and shouldn't have been served, but overall an ok breakfast.

Yum!!! Their French toast is so good. IMO, better than the pancakes. They use syrup from Benton's sugar shack and put whipped maple butter on top. We came back the next day just to eat the French toast again!

Me and a group of friend were driving to Vermont for the weekend and we were starving and one of my friends insisted this was best place to stop!!! So we made the detour and Lincoln was adorable. This was a Friday morning and there was a decent line still but we only waited about 15 minutes! Once seated I got some coffee and all the staff were super nice. Me and a friend split the Hungry as a Bear and it was delicious. The pancakes were great and it was all delicious breakfast staples. Can't beat the price and it was amazing. A definite must stop if you're in the area.

Love, love,love this place!!! The cutest lil breakfast diner in town. Today was my first ever visit to NH today and I was so in love with the autumn rain & fall foilage & especially this amazing diner my friend found after our hike today. They had a line outside ( i can literally understand why, the food is the best) & it didn't take long for them to serve everyone and get each guest seated. The inside was decorated with Christmas decor, they had tshirts, beanies, & coffee mugs for sales which I was so tempted to buy. And the rain outside where my friends and I sat overlooked a pond decorated with pumpkins.and overlooked mountain terrain with fall trees in different yellow, red, and orange foliage. They had a great menu with so many options. I cant remember the exact name of my plate but I got the big platter with over easy eggs, sausage, bacon, country potatos and french toast. It was more than enough and a great way to end a hike. Our server was so friendly and just the best too, so glad I got the chance to visit here. Definitely want to come back.

Exactly what you would expect from a ski town in winter. A steady wait in the cold but worth every minute! Great staff, our host was the son of the Dad who served us and the Mom manages. Great experience!!

I love Flapjack's, it's adorable and the food is amazing every time. It has a cute theme about a bear who came out of hibernation and found a restaurant and went into the kitchen to make himself a tall stack, isn't that so cute??! There's something for everyone here and I love getting the hungry cub platter with French toast. Husband gets the hungry bear with buttermilk pancakes and they're perfect, NOT sour--10/10 every time and the staff are super friendly. They keep the coffee coming and the service is speedy. If you're ever in or near Lincoln, NH it's a MUST visit!

Line is always out the door so i was happy to finnally eat here. Buttermilk pancakes just melted every bite. Had a bit of a wait to get the food but staff was approchable and kind and the food was soo good it was worth the wait

Great place for breakfast. We had eggs/ pancake, French toast, home fries, sausage. Everything was yum!! Service was quick. Fun decor

Amazing breakfast spot in Lincoln! Go early, the line can get really long. We went around 8 and only had to wait 30 minutes luckily. Service was friendly and the interior was super cute and cozy. Got a breakfast platter and my boyfriend got an omelette and we split a short stack of blueberry pancakes. The pancakes were the best part of the meal! Our food was fresh and very filling as well. Highly recommend :)

Waiting on lines is usually not worth it in my opinion but this wait was. This is not your typical small town breakfast diner. The food is actually delicious. On a fall weekend, expect a wait as soon as they open. We got on the end of the line at the corner of the street at 10 and waited around 45 minutes. The line is slow but once you are seated, you get your food quickly maybe after 10 minutes. The buttermilk pancakes were fantastic. Fluffy and not too dense. The maple butter was light and not too sweet. You also can't go wrong with the pumpkin pancakes. The rest of our "Cub" plate was superb as well - crispy home fries, crispy bacon, tasty sausage, and eggs were fried as ordered. Try the maple beans if you're a big maple fan!

Omgoodness this place is the best I've ever tasted! I the #3 (a little of everything) and I hit the potatoes first (usually my least favorite). Somehow, I was thrown back to my childhood with spices and flavors I remember my Aunt Elsie cooking! The maple butter on the delicately seasoned French Toast, the sweet sausage... the little train running around d amusing the kids and the soft personal touch of the owner's story make this place an experience. I do t even feel the usual lethargy that often follows a vacation pancake breakfast! This place is magical.

Such a homey place! Loved the atmosphere with the train going around the restaurant. The pancakes, French toast, and the omelette were delicious. Definitely recommend!

Great breakfast and service. Pancakes were fantastic , try the blueberry. Service was quick.

Busy busy busy this place was packed with a line out the door. Friendly staff welcoming atmosphere with the cutest toy train that circled the restaurant. Food was amazing service incredible no wonder why there's a line out the door!

Food was great had the big bear breakfast. They let you split and have 1 flapjack and one French toast. I usually prefer pancakes over French toast but I actually liked the French toast more. Everything was very good and the staff was friendly. Will return to try more

Solid breakfast. Enjoyed the pumpkin pancakes and maple butter. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall good breakfast for the area.

Greatest breakfast joint in town. Got the #3 which had a little bit of everything. Line was long but food was well worth the wait.

After a few years of the imagining that we had found the best blueberry pancakes anywhere in Portland, Maine, I discovered this morning that Flapjack's specialty pancakes are in fact THE BEST EVERRRRR. Grazie mille (1000 thanks), Dell, for your excellent service and recommendation that I go for the blueberry. We will be back -- and can't wait!!

We loved this place and came twice during our 2 days trip!! There is always a long line in the weekend but it worth it!! The food was amazing!!!! We ordered the Hungry Bear on both days!!! I love our waitress on our first day. She always greeted us with a smile on her face!!

My adult kids said that the pancakes were the best that they ever had. They are true pancake connoisseurs so that's a compliment for sure. I ate the waffles and they were also delicious. Our waitress was attentive and very sweet. The dining area has a cute train running around near the ceiling. Overall, a great meal and very pleasant breakfast.

Food was top notch, highly recommend if in the area. Pro tip. Lines get super long, so get there early!!

***WARNING GIANT SERVICE FEE ON BILL! We go to Lincoln a lot but this place always has a line out the door. On a weekday we finally decided to give it a try. We waited about a half hour but our party was not able to be seated together, which was understandable as we had 9 people. So they sat four of us at the bar and five of us at a booth. The waiter was nice, the food was good. However when we got the bill there was a $30 service fee. Never in my life have I seen such a thing. Due to this we will never ever be back.

Best breakfast spot in forever!!! I haven't had a tasty breakfast like this in a while. It was so good I didn't even take a picture... Pancakes were amazing, the butter they put on top was just mouth watering... The staff was great! Next time I'm in the area this is definitely the spot I will go to. Waiting in a line definitely worth it!!!

Seeing a line out the door I had hoped for something amazing. The food was middle of the road and could definitely use a little seasoning but overall it was ok. I guess being one of the few options for breakfast in the area explained the line. If you love bitter coffee this is your kind of place for sure! Service was good and friendly but they are quick to turn tables around which makes you feel a little rushed. It's a nice looking little place inside. Down side is on the addition whenever someone walks past your table it shakes everything on it. Atmosphere inside is nice as well.

Best pancakes ever and the heartiest eggs benedict, too! I'm not local to the area but I look forward to having breakfast here again when I return. Located on a quiet main street in the mountains and with a cozy and charming interior. Really fun for an out-of-towner like me to see so many cute quirks like the train running on tracks suspended from the ceiling and camp "artifacts". Friendly staff, good prices and generous portions which were not too salty. Local maple syrup is also a treat!

The line was long but it was worth it. Small family owned breakfast place. The food was great. In particular the standouts were the Steak n Cheese Eggs Benedict. Not the best for the waistline but it was awesome. Also the home fries are excellent. Crispy with a little char on the edges and a perfect amount of seasoning. The service was also great and friendly and our server Skylar made great recommendations.

Went with my son, daughter in law and my granddaughter. Food was superb and the service awesome. We loved the train going around the restaurant- cute touch!!!!

#3 has my heart nothing will beat it! 12/10 best breakfast hands down. Wish we lived closer

The best breakfast anywhere. Pure maple syrup on the table. Worth waiting in lane in the rain or snow.

Just awesome old New England breakfast . Service with a smile Great room . Whoever made the working train tracks hanging from ceiling hit a home run

Such a charming breakfast place. Came here with my husband and 18 month old. Staff was super friendly and the food was reasonably priced and sooooo good. The Reese's pancakes are like dessert. One tip- the place is somewhat small so come early. We waited 10 minutes for a table but by the time we left the line was out the building and into the street. I imagine those folks were looking at a wait of at least 2 hours.

Everything was great my son loved the chocolate chip pancakes. Get there early, it fills up quickly!! We waited a while but it was worth the wait!

My family was in Lincoln, NH on vacation. We went to FlapJacks Friday morning. 1/28/23. The resteraunt is cozy, and has a train motif. Gorgeous wood tables. The wait staff is friendly, kind, & courteous. The food was delicious, served in a timely manner and presented well. I highly recommend this place. I did drive by on Saturday and the line was down the street. So be prepared to wait, if you go on a weekend.

Visited Flapjack's for breakfast during our stay in Lincoln NH. We enjoyed our food and the service was great. The flapjacks, or pancakes as I call them were amazing. Came with delicious maple butter and real maple syrup. The omelet was good too. Filled with lots of veggies. The homemade red bliss homefries We're so good! Outside seating available as well and either street parking or in the lot across the street for free. Definitely worth the stop to this quaint and classic breakfast spot in the beautiful white mountains!!

Yes, there was a line waiting to go in. Yes, we were seated and served efficiently. Yes, the decor was homey and warm. So, what's wrong, you ask? I am not quite sure myself. I mean, yeah, the food was good. The wife and I each had the "hungry cub" breakfast. The servings weren't extraordinary. And I denoted that my home fried potatoes were a bit undone and crunchy. I can get past that. Blueberry pancake was good. It's not the best I've had. I found it a tad bit pricey, but that comes with the area. I dunno, maybe I am thinking too much into this. Probably would return if in the area again.

Fantastic eggs Benedict. Huge pieces of ham and they offer half portions. They also have a liquor license so you can get mimosas, screwdrivers or Bloody Mary. My husband got the homemade pesto and bacon omelette. It was delicious. The original owner had a rare autoimmune disorder called scleroderma. Sadly she lost her life to this disease. They sell merch to profit her fundraiser. My husband's Mom was diagnosed with scleroderma in 97, was given 6 months, and is still here fighting every day. We gladly purchased a beautiful ornament to benefit the Beth Foundation. I highly recommend Flapjacks. Oh, and the staff was also fantastic!

There was a long line to get in but definitely worth the wait! Wait staff was super friendly and the food was great! I got the cub platter with a blueberry pancake and the pancakes were so good it didn't even need syrup! If we're in the area we'll definitely be back!

A must stop for every trip to Lincoln. Such a fantastic place, breakfast is awesome, service is great, the train is always a huge hit (ask them to flip the switch). The weekends are generally pretty busy, you'll wait in line for a little bit but it moves very fast. It's a great place, we can't say enough!!

Went for early lunch before the Santa train. There was a line. With a 2 1/2 year old and an 8 month old we were a little concerned, but the tables turned over and we were sat. I ordered the gingerbread pancakes and maple butter. Absolutely delicious. My grandson thought so too. Others ordered omelets and eggs benedict. The service was great. We had a wonderful meal. The trains entertained us and made the wait go by fast.

This place is our do to for breakfast in Lincoln. Food is always first rate and service is always incredible.

Delicious breakfast fare that was more than satisfying before a day filled with walking and hiking. The eggs were cooked to order, the sausage was full-flavored and the home fries were fresh and not over-seasoned. The special sandwich made with flapjacks, sausage, egg and hollandaise was fantastic. Service was quick and friendly. Our only complaint was the very strong coffee... I'll remember not to order it here next visit

Specialty pancake pumpkin soooo good. With sausage, bacon,eggs and potatoes. Hubby had omelet w potatoes and toast. We waited in line for about 20min but deffinetley worth the wait. We will be back

Very fluffy pancakes! We had the blueberry pancakes and it was really good. Very family friendly!

Everything was pretty great here. We split the Hungry as a Bear breakfast. Sausage, french toast, and maple butter were all excellent. Bacon, eggs, and home fries were good. Ironically the thing I liked the least were the flapjacks, they just didn't have much flavor or texture. The place was pretty neat, they've got a model train running around the ceiling as well as t shirts and some funny walk art.
