the Flying Goat

About This Establishment

The Flying Goat serves pancakes that puff up with a sweet glaze and a soft, tender crumb. The Breakfast Sandwich on sourdough delivers a salty ham punch and generous portions, while the OMG Burger comes with a juicy bite and a glossy sweet sauce. Onion rings snap and fry to a perfect crisp, and the locally sourced coffee keeps the momentum going. Egg sensitivities are noted so tell your server if you have any, and plan for weekend lines if you’re aiming for breakfast.
