Elephant Shack - Woodland

I am not much of a sandwich person but my Reuben was delicious!!! I may become a sandwich person after this experience!

This place seem to make breakfast so perfectly and effortlessly, it begs the question: why does every place else in the world seem to struggle to make decent breakfast?! The Shack Scramble was the right size, with the right amount of fixins and perfectly light, crispy hashbrowns! I can't imagine even giving any other breakfast spot in Woodland a try why risk it?! I subbed hashbrowns for county potatoes)

The food was amazing! Took the kids and they loved just as much. The food Tasted home cooked and we were satisfied with all of it. Kids ate every single bite!! Definitely going back.

Full disclosure, I love elephants (yes, that's a towel elephant as my FB avatar). I've been wanting to go to The Elephant Shack ever since hearing about its existence a few years ago. Husband wanted to go to the new Harbor Freight in Woodland so I made a deal with him; we have breakfast first at The Elephant Shack and then he can browse tools to his heart's content. I think I got the better deal, plus he really loved his breakfast too. Win-win. We were greeted upon entering by a young woman we soon learned was the co-owner, Jackie. After showing me her elephant tattoo when I showed her my elephant bracelet, she made recommendations from the breakfast menu. After we ordered I had to examine each and every elephant I could find. Some really neat ones. I recognized a few that I have in my own collection. My vegetarian omelet was wonderful. Filled with mushrooms, spinach, grilled onions, roasted red peppers and topped with cheese, pico de gallo (with fresh jalapeno pepper) and avocado, there was a perfect proportion of fillings to egg. I hate when omelets have the stuffing all in the middle with big areas of just egg, not so at The Elephant Shack. Each bite contained a delicious mixture of the fillings. I was quite impressed and plan to return with friends for lunch some day soon.

The pancakes are amazing! Totally worth the drive from Sacto! Staff is very cool! Love the artwork!
