The Flipping Egg - Abilene

Actually working with a skeleton crew, so you had to seat yourself. Not a big deal. Super quick service, restaurant was clean, staff was friendly and hustling. Bathroom was exceptionally clean. Cute place. The cinnamon roll pancake plate was delicious.

We visited Abilene for a few days and found this place while looking for a breakfast spot. We loved it so much that we returned the following day. The breakfast was so delicious and the servers were friendly and efficient. We did have to wait about 30 minutes for a table but we were willing to wait because the food is that good. Our favorite thing we ordered was the peanut butter/chocolate chip pancakes

TFE succeeded in moving their location to 4138 Ridgemont (Lowes) a few years back always a risky decision in the restaurant business. Their breakfast menu still has many variations, with some interesting creations. For example, one variation is Eggs Benedict on an avocado base, instead of on an English muffin (pictured below). The restaurant interior is not creative, however, being stark and mundane. As a breakfast restaurant, expect to pay premium prices for very good breakfast fare. On weekends, you can also expect to wait up to 30 minutes to be seated, which is evidence of the coming good breakfast. The service friendly, yet oblivious that it’s okay to supply replacement utensils as required without being asked.

This place was great. They have a lot of gluten free options, including specialty pancakes and waffles. It was just what we needed before we hit the road to finish relocating across the country.

Glad we decided to have breakfast here. Food was delicious and staff friendly.
