If you’re wondering what to order at Flip’s Pancake House, here’s the short answer: start with a Belgian waffle or a full stack of buttermilk pancakes, then build around an omelette or skillet if you want something more savory. The Flip’s Pancake House menu is built around breakfast classics — pancakes, waffles, omelettes, skillets, French toast, and crepes — with a solid lunch section of burgers, salads, and sandwiches that kicks in later in the morning.
This guide walks through every category on the Flip’s Pancake House menu, what each dish actually looks and tastes like, and which items are worth your money. Flip’s is a Quad Cities-area diner chain with locations in Bettendorf and Davenport, Iowa, and Moline, Illinois, and it’s the kind of place where the portions are big enough to share and the coffee never seems to stop coming. We’re covering categories and standout picks here, not building a price-comparison chart, though we’ll note prices where they help you decide what to order.
Quick note before we start: this is an independent, unofficial guide to the Flip’s Pancake House menu. We are not affiliated with Flip’s Pancake House, its owners, or its franchise operators in any way.
How We Put This Guide Together
We built this menu breakdown by checking the official ordering pages for the Moline, Bettendorf, and Utica Ridge (Davenport) locations, cross-referencing listed items and prices across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Slice, and reading through recent customer reviews to get a feel for portion sizes and what regulars actually order. Menu items, prices, and even category names can shift slightly between locations because each Flip’s Pancake House is independently run.
Prices, portion sizes, and available items vary by location, season, and franchise owner. Always confirm current pricing and availability at your nearest Flip’s Pancake House or through its official ordering app before you place an order.
What Makes Flip’s Pancake House Different
Flip’s isn’t a national chain trying to be everything to everyone. It’s a regional breakfast-and-lunch diner where the pancakes are made from scratch, the skillets come out sizzling, and the staff usually remember regulars by their coffee order. The menu leans heavily into build-your-own comfort food: pick your protein, pick your cheese, pick your side.
What sets the Flip’s Pancake House menu apart from a typical diner is the sheer range of pancake and waffle flavors — think Oreo pancakes, white chocolate raspberry, and a pancake flight with three fruit toppings side by side. That’s not something you’ll find at most breakfast spots, and it’s a big reason locals keep coming back.
Egg Classics
This section covers the meat-and-eggs combos that most people picture when they think “diner breakfast.” Every plate comes with hash brown potatoes or a fresh fruit cup, plus toast or pancakes, so you’re never short on carbs.
- Two Egg Any Style – Two eggs cooked your way, with ham, bacon, sausage links or patties, or Canadian bacon. This is the no-frills order for anyone who just wants a solid breakfast without overthinking it.
- Chopped Steak and Eggs – An 8 oz. grilled chopped steak next to two eggs. It’s a filling plate that eats more like lunch than breakfast, and it’s a good pick if you skipped dinner the night before.
- NY Strip Steak and Eggs – A 10 oz. NY strip alongside two eggs, any style. This is the priciest item in the section, and it’s meant for people who want a real steak-and-eggs breakfast, not a light one.
- Two Eggs with Corned Beef Hash – Classic diner comfort food. The hash is crisped up on the flat top, which gives it a nice edge against the softer eggs.
- Avocado Toast – Toasted sourdough, avocado, tomatoes, and poached eggs, topped with crushed pepper and served with a fruit cup. This is the lightest option in the Egg Classics section and a solid pick if you want something that doesn’t feel heavy.
Egg Specialties
The Egg Specialties section is where Flip’s gets a little more creative with sauces and layering. This is a good stop if you’re a fan of Eggs Benedict or want something wrapped instead of plated.
Eggs Benedict puts two poached eggs on an English muffin with Canadian bacon and hollandaise sauce, served with hash browns on the side. The hollandaise here is on the richer side, so pace yourself if you’re also planning to finish the hash browns.
Country Benedict swaps the English muffin for buttermilk biscuits, tops it with sausage patties, and pours sausage gravy over the whole thing instead of hollandaise. It’s heavier and more Southern-leaning than the classic Benedict, and it’s the better choice if you want gravy over sauce.
The Breakfast Wrap and South of the Border Wrap are both tortilla-wrapped combos packed with hash browns, scrambled eggs, and cheddar. The South of the Border version adds chorizo, jalapeños, and tomatoes for a spicier kick, while the Breakfast Wrap sticks to sausage, peppers, and onions for something a little milder.
House Specialties
This is the section for people who can’t decide between pancakes, waffles, French toast, and a full egg plate. It also includes a couple of standalone comfort dishes.
| Item | What’s In It |
|---|---|
| Biscuits and Gravy | Buttermilk biscuits smothered in sausage gravy |
| Southern Breakfast | Two eggs, two strips of bacon or sausage, half order of biscuits and gravy, hash browns |
| Chicken Fried Steak | Breaded steak with two eggs, hash browns, sausage gravy, and toast |
| Sam’s Grand Slam | Three eggs, ham, bacon, sausage links or patties, and two pancakes |
| Club 1 | Two pancakes, two eggs, two bacon strips or sausage, coffee or juice |
| Club 2 | Four French toast, two eggs, two bacon strips or sausage |
| Club 3 | Two eggs and a Belgian waffle |
The Club combos are worth calling out because they’re built for people who genuinely can’t pick one thing. Club 1 leans pancake-forward, Club 2 is for the French toast crowd, and Club 3 keeps it simple with a waffle and eggs. If you’re eating with a group and everyone wants something different, ordering different Clubs around the table works out well.
Three Egg Omelettes
Every omelette on the Flip’s Pancake House menu comes with hash brown potatoes or fresh fruit, plus toast or pancakes, and they’re all built from three eggs, so expect a hearty portion.
- Cheese Omelette (choice of American, Swiss, or cheddar), with add-on versions for ham, bacon, or sausage
- Denver Omelette – ham, onions, and green peppers, the diner standard
- Athenian Omelette – gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, and feta, a nod to the Quad Cities’ strong Greek-diner tradition
- Veggie Omelette – onions, green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and broccoli
- House Omelette – ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheddar
- Farmer’s Omelette – sausage, cheese, and potatoes folded inside, with sausage gravy poured on top
- Ole’s Omelette – chorizo, onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, and cheddar
- Avocado BT Omelette – bacon, tomatoes, spinach, Swiss cheese, and avocado on top
- Flip’s Omelette – spinach, tomatoes, and feta
- Meat Lovers Omelette – bacon, ham, sausage, and American cheese
The Athenian Omelette is a standout because it’s not something you see on most American breakfast menus, and the feta and gyro meat combination gives it a flavor the other omelettes don’t have. If you want a lighter option, the Veggie Omelette is the closest thing to a healthier pick in this section since it skips the meat and cheese-heavy add-ons.
Skillets
Skillets at Flip’s arrive sizzling, layered with hash browns on the bottom, toppings mixed through, and two eggs any style on top. They’re served with toast or pancakes on the side, which makes them one of the more filling categories on the whole menu.
- Greek Skillet – onions, tomatoes, gyro meat, feta cheese
- House Skillet – onions, green peppers, sausage, and gravy
- Mexican Skillet – chorizo, onions, green peppers, jalapeños, jack and cheddar cheese
- Western Skillet – ham, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, topped with cheddar
- Meat Lover’s Skillet – ham, bacon, sausage, and cheddar
- Corned Beef Hash Skillet – corned beef hash, green peppers, onions, cheddar
- CFS Skillet – chicken fried steak, onions, green peppers, topped with sausage gravy
If you’re ordering for the table, the Corned Beef Hash Skillet is a good one to split — reviewers consistently mention it’s large enough for two people once you add a side of pancakes. The Mexican Skillet brings the most heat in this section thanks to the chorizo and jalapeños, so ask for it on the milder side if you’re spice-sensitive.
Belgian Waffles
Waffles here are Belgian-style, meaning deep pockets that hold syrup and toppings instead of running off the plate. All of them come with butter and maple syrup already included.
| Waffle | Notes |
|---|---|
| Plain Waffle | Simple, crisp edges, soft center |
| Strawberry Waffle | Fresh strawberries piled on top |
| Blueberry Waffle | Baked-in blueberries, not just a topping |
| Pecan Waffle | Toasted pecans mixed into the batter |
| Apple Cinnamon Waffle | Warm, fall-flavored, good with coffee |
| Bacon Waffle | Bacon bits folded into the batter itself |
| Chicken n’ Waffle | Fried chicken on top of a waffle |
The Chicken n’ Waffle is the most talked-about item in this section, and it’s the priciest waffle on the menu for a reason — you’re getting a full portion of fried chicken plus the waffle underneath. If you just want something classic and shareable, the Plain Waffle with a side of bacon does the job without overcomplicating things.
Buttermilk Pancakes
Pancakes are really the signature of the Flip’s Pancake House menu, and the flavor list goes well beyond what most diners offer. The batter is thick and holds its shape, and customers regularly mention the pancakes are “giant,” so pace your order accordingly.
- One Pancake, Short Stack, or Full Stack (plain, for anyone who wants to add their own toppings)
- Strawberry, Blueberry, Banana, or Pecan Pancakes
- Apple Cinnamon or Chocolate Chip Pancakes
- White Chocolate Raspberry Pancakes
- Cinnamon-Roll Pancakes
- Oreo Pancakes
- Pancake Flight – a sampler of blueberry, banana, and strawberry pancakes on one plate
The Pancake Flight is the best pick if you can’t decide on one flavor, and it’s genuinely useful for families since everyone can try a bite without committing to a full stack. Oreo Pancakes and Cinnamon-Roll Pancakes are the two dessert-leaning options that read more like a treat than a breakfast, so save those for when you’re in the mood for something sweeter than usual.
Crepes
Flip’s crepes are thinner and lighter than the pancakes, folded around fruit or Nutella instead of stacked flat.
- Strawberry Crepes
- Blueberry Crepes
- Banana Nutella Crepes
- Apple Cinnamon Crepes
The Banana Nutella Crepes are the closest thing to a dessert on the breakfast menu, and they’re a good choice if you want something rich but don’t want a full stack of pancakes. Crepes here are a smaller portion than the pancake or waffle options, so they work well as a lighter start or a second course if you’re already sharing a skillet.
French Toast
French toast at Flip’s comes thick-cut, griddled until the edges are a little crisp, and served with butter and maple syrup.
- Plain French Toast
- Strawberry, Blueberry, or Banana Strawberry French Toast
- Apple Cinnamon French Toast
- Cinnamon Roll French Toast
- French Toast Flight – a sampler of blueberry, banana, and strawberry French toast
If you like French toast but want to try more than one flavor, the French Toast Flight mirrors the Pancake Flight and is worth ordering instead of picking just one topping.
Kids’ Menu
The kids’ menu keeps things simple and familiar, and most items come with a drink included.
| Item | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kid’s One Egg (with hash browns, bacon or sausage, toast) | Around $6–7 |
| Mickey Mouse Pancake | Around $5–7 |
| Silver Dollar Cakes (six mini cakes) | Around $5–6 |
| French Toast (two halves with bacon or sausage) | Around $6 |
| Grilled Cheese with fries | Around $5–6 |
| Hamburger or Cheeseburger with fries | Around $7 |
| Chicken Tenders with fries | Around $7 |
The Mickey Mouse Pancake is the item most kids ask for by name, and it’s exactly what it sounds like — a pancake shaped like the classic mouse-ear design. Portions are appropriately sized for younger kids, so you won’t end up paying full price for food that goes to waste.
Side Orders
Sides let you round out a lighter order or add extra protein to an omelette or skillet without ordering a whole second plate.
- Hash Browns, Corned Beef Hash, Cup of Sausage Gravy
- Bacon, Sausage, Ham, or Canadian Bacon
- Bowl of Oatmeal
- Cinnamon Roll, English Muffin, or Raisin Toast
- Fruit Cup or Fruit Bowl
If you’re trying to eat a little lighter, the Bowl of Oatmeal or a Fruit Bowl are the closest things to a health-conscious choice on the whole Flip’s Pancake House menu, and they pair well as an add-on to a lighter egg dish instead of hash browns.
Lunch: Burgers, Sandwiches & Salads
Flip’s lunch menu kicks in later in the morning and runs through the afternoon at most locations. Burgers are made from 8 oz. hand-picked Angus ground chuck and come with a pickle, cup of soup, and a choice of fries, coleslaw, cottage cheese, or fresh fruit.
Burgers include the Cheeseburger, Bacon Cheeseburger, Alpine Burger (mushrooms, bacon, Swiss), Flip’s Burger (bacon, cheddar, BBQ sauce, onion rings), Avocado Burger, and a Patty Melt on lite rye. The Flip’s Burger is the house specialty and the one most reviewers point to as the best of the bunch, mostly because of the onion rings piled right on top.
Salads lean Mediterranean, with the Athenian Salad (feta, Kalamata olives, house dressing, garlic bread) available plain, with chicken breast, or with gyro meat. The Chicken Avocado Salad and Grilled Chicken Salad are both solid choices if you want something more filling than a side salad but lighter than a burger plate.
Gourmet Sandwiches include a Reuben on dark rye, a BLT Club, an Avocado Bacon Chicken Sandwich, a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, and a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. The Reuben stands out here — corned beef, Swiss, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island on dark rye is a classic combination, and it’s clearly made with the same corned beef hash used at breakfast.
Beverages
Coffee, decaf, hot tea, and iced tea round out the standard drink list, alongside fresh-squeezed orange juice, apple juice, tomato juice, milk, chocolate milk, and Pepsi products. The fresh-squeezed orange juice costs more than the regular juice options, but reviewers say it’s worth the upgrade if you’re already spending on a bigger breakfast.
Vegetarian and Lighter Options
If you’re looking for something without meat, the Flip’s Pancake House menu has more options than you’d expect from a diner. The Veggie Omelette, Cheese Omelette, Avocado Toast, Garden Salad, and most of the pancake, waffle, and crepe fruit varieties are naturally meat-free. For something lighter overall, stick to the Fruit Bowl, Oatmeal, or a plain omelette with fruit on the side instead of hash browns.
What’s Most Popular at Flip’s Pancake House

First-time visitors usually do well starting with one of the Club combos since it gives a taste of pancakes, eggs, and a breakfast meat in one plate.

Final Thoughts on the Flip’s Pancake House Menu
The Flip’s Pancake House menu works because it doesn’t try to reinvent breakfast — it just does the classics well and gives you enough pancake, waffle, and crepe flavors to keep coming back without getting bored. If it’s your first visit, order a Club combo or a skillet and split a Pancake Flight for the table so everyone gets a taste of something sweet. Whatever you order, ask your server what’s running as a special that day, since portion sizes are big enough that splitting a plate often makes more sense than ordering two.
