Came here with 3 kids (from out of town) and we enjoyed our breakfast! Service was wonderful. Atmosphere was the perfect 80's diner vibe. Love it!

Petite breakfast with a side order of waffles and coffee. Great service and affordable food... My go to breakfast stop in Rodeo. Love the owner!!

The food here is great I would recommend the pork chop Hong Kong style. The people who work here are very nice and funny. And if you are sports fan would would like all the pennants and posters that they have on their walls.

I've been hearing about Flippy's so I gave it a try. It was wonderful! My bacon & eggs breakfast was delicious and the service was outstanding. The waitresses were constantly coming to my table to refill my coffee cup and to ask me if I needed anything. It was a great experience. I'll definitely eat there again and I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast and lunch.

We love Flippy's and everyone that works here. Good food and love how they support the Bay Area sports teams.

I come here almost every sunday and it became part of my sunday morning routine. I loved the sports ambiance and the employees who work here who are always happy to serve you no matter how busy they get. Never had any issues and their food was always delicious. I like my hashbrowns crunchy and thats how they make theirs. I always go for their chicken with gravy or the porkchops..

Flippy's quickly became a go-to breakfast spot for my partner and I. It has the "Mom and Pop" vibe that I love to support. It's that kind of spot where the community comes to and the waitresses and chefs know each other on a first name basis. They have counter and booth seating available. I wouldn't recommend groups with more than 4 people due to their tables being connected to the floor but if you come at a time when they're aren't too busy, you may be able to snag two tables side by side. Parking can be tough if they're busy and on a Sunday with a church being next door. There are only 4 spots available in their lot, one of those being a handicap spot. There is a good amount of street parking around the block. I've tried many items on the menu and I have to say the one that made me feel nostalgic was their corned beef and hash breakfast plate. It brought me back to when my grandparents would make my cousins and I corned beef hash. Even though I live in Oakland, we try to come once a week for breakfast!

"We just got back from breakfast. The pancakes were dynamite." - Cosmo Kramer, Seinfeld Da Scene: early morning out and about, looking for hashbrowns... my goto spot in Pinole has been dropping the ball lately, so Yelp! points me to Flippy's in Rodeo. 2 spot parking lot, but LOTS of street parking @ 7am. Lots of cozy booths, some 2 tops and 5 spot counter. Staff was masked, patrons varied. Seated, ordered and coffee'd quickly. Da Grub: Went with the Pork Chop (breaded & fried) 2 eggs over easy. You can opt for 3 pancakes instead of hashbrowns and toast... which I did since toast ain't my thing. But as I'm on a hashbrown oddesey, ordered a side of crispy goodness and was not disappointed. Eggs were fine, pork chop was crisp, moist and seasoned just right... save some pepper, didn't need to adjust the salt. Hashbrowns were as they should be: crisp (not burnt), but fluffy and tender inside... just what I've been looking for! TIP: Ask for the pancakes to come out last, and enjoy as a kind of breakfast dessert with your 3rd cup of coffee. Da Service: Super efficient, considering maybe 8 other tables, my server (owner?) was quick and topped my coffee off 3 times (luv that!). Food was expedited as asked and was piping hot when received. Folks at the counter were talking as old friends, customers leaving waved to other customers, definately a local spot, but I never felt like an outsider. I will check in on my old spot again sometime, but Flippy's has earned another visit (with the wife next time!) With their solid fare and great service... plus GREAT HASHBROWNS!!

I love family-owned neighborhood no-frills brunch spots and Flippy's already gave me good vibes upon entering. Friendly staff, clean and homey dining environment, and since it's located in a small town, there isn't a huge crowd, which I loved! I sat in a small booth in the side and menus were conveniently available on a hanging rack at the table. I had gone there with the sole purpose of getting a country fried steak and eggs and a waffle, which came promptly and was absolutely delicious! I always love that first flavorful crispy bite of the steak with the country gravy. The eggs were perfectly over easy and the hash browns were crispy on outside and tender on inside. I would have preferred the country gravy to be a little thinner but it's ok. The waffle was a great dessert at the end - buttermilky and crispy! Price for both was close to $24 and I left a nice tip for my awesome server. I'd totally come back!

Opening day today for rodeo baseball... I was getting hungry waiting on the parade to start and saw this jewel of a restaurant sitting on the corner. I called and placed an order due to the busy crowd already there I waited 25 min for my food (def worth the wait) I order pancakes and the Italian sausage and I will be back next weekend. My son was also a fan after the parade he indulged and wanted more.
