Happy Jack Pancake House
We went here for breakfast this morning because my husband loves cinnamon bun pancakes and I saw they have them on the menu. He said they were delicious, not the best he’s ever had but definitely toward the top. I ordered an egg white omelette with mushrooms, spinach, and Swiss, and I was very happy that they went light on the oil. I hate when I order an egg white omelette and then it has a ton of oil. It was perfect and delicious and light, and our food came out so quickly it was crazy! It was maybe 5 minutes after we ordered. I also ordered iced coffee and it was so good, I didn’t feel the need to stop at Starbucks. The waitress was super nice and the service was perfect, I would come back here anytime I’m in OC.

*****5 Stars: A Cozy Gem for Breakfast Lovers
We recently visited Happy Jack Pancake House for a December early morning breakfast, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we encountered no hassle at all—there was plenty of free parking available.
The restaurant's decor has a rustic, old-school charm that's both warm and comfy, perfect for those chilly December mornings. The coffee was excellent, and the omelets were top-notch—nothing fancy to look at, but the flavors were truly remarkable. This place focuses on taste, and it delivers exceptionally well.
The location is ideal, just a block away from the Ocean City Boardwalk. After enjoying a hearty and healthy breakfast, we took a lovely walk to the boardwalk to watch the sunrise. It was the perfect way to start our day.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy spot with great food and an unbeatable location!

This place reminds me of a unique upgraded iHop with a family atmosphere. My family and I were so glad we came here! The food and prices were awesome. Our server was very friendly and all who worked there were so nice. If you are in this vicinity in OCMD, you have to try it out. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back!"
