Flipper’s — Your New Cheap Weekday Breakfast Joint

Flipper's -- more than insanely delicious burgers

When most people think of Flipper’s, A Gourmet Hamburger Place, I’m betting they probably think of burgers.  While it’s true that the menu at Flipper’s features almost 20 different kinds of burgers, it’s actually more like a Squat & Gobble-type restaurant offering everything from salad to crepes to falafel platters.

Now, the prices here are pretty standard for a Hayes Valley eatery, meaning not cheap enough to normally write about, but not triple dollar signs on Yelp either.  However, there is one thing that makes Flipper’s stand out to a broke-ass:  The Weekday Breakfast Special.  Monday through Friday from 7am-11am, it’s a mere $3.99 for two eggs, potatoes, and toast.  While that’s a hearty breakfast in itself, if the carnivore in you just can’t do the most important meal of the day sans meat, you can add ham, bacon or sausage for $1 extra.  See, super cheap and you can stop by on your way to work or your day off or something.  Any excuse to leave the house with a fiver in your pocket and come back with a mega full belly, right?
