Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill

My best friend brought me and my fiancé here for the first time last night. We ordered the nachos, the Wednesday deal, Philly cheesesteak and stickers with fries. All the food was really good. The service was good as well. I think we found our new go to place for hanging out.

This used to be one of our favorites for lunch. On our last visit, we waited for over 20 minutes to be seated and then the entire dining experience took well over an hour. We noted it was not that busy… The last 3 times we have went there (over a 2 – 3 month period) we have left without being seated. We arrive around 12:05 — 12:10. There are one or two people already seated and without fail we are told it will be a 10 – 15 minute wait for seating inside. The place is full of empty tables and wait staff milling around. I am guessing they are not yet prepared for the lunch crowd even though it is noon. With all of the new options in the area, we have opted to leave each time. This last attempt was most likely our last.

Updated review:
We will no longer be recommending this location or visiting it anymore. Having been once-​a-​week regulars for well over a decade, we’ve been too disappointed far too many times recently. Today was particularly abysmal, as the service lacked so much that our waitress only stopped by once in the 15 minutes that we were there. There was no manager to be found, and the hostess could not have cared less to help us in this regard. It’s 8PM on a Monday and there are empty tables, no excuses. To say we are disenfranchised is an understatement…
I’d recommend a number of other restaurants in this general location over this Flanigan’s to anyone looking for an honest review.
Old review:
Wait time was 0 minutes at 6:00 PM on a Monday. The facilities and restrooms were clean and well kept.
The food was delicious and the service was kind, but small things seemed to slip through the cracks — notably, forgetting small additions we made to our orders.
The front of house manager came by to greet us, which was a nice touch. The overall team had a good workflow and everyone seemed to chip in and help with service.

First of all the bartenders were great… made you feel comfortable… very attentive to your needs… wings were undercooked, but they made it right. Great place for lunch and the occasional happy hour.

Excelent service and food, ty to the hostess and the server was very great and good food not all the chains are the same, I have to leave from other restaurant to stop here and eat.

I’ve gone a few times to this location. Very consistent service and food quality. Friendly servers. The bar is a great spot for the best experience unless of course you want a more private booth experience. My only negative is the parking is limited but I can’t blame them for that. Bartenders make great drinks too!

I love this place! I wish they had them in Orlando. I go here every time I’m in town on business. Lunch menu is cheap and hearty and they run daily specials. Food is fantastic. Good fun atmosphere. There is usually a lot of people flowing in shortly after they open. And that says a lot. This is a must… YOU MUST TRY IT

very very poor service… only a few customers and the waitress were laughing and joking with each other… could not be bothered with taking my order… many other choices to dine

I was in the area and we stopped in for my starving daughter to have lunch. Our server, Sioboh, was great. We were promptly seated and tended to. My daughter ordered the Big Daddy Cheeseburger and it was huge, cooked to perfection with curly fries. I thought she would never finish that, but it was so good she ate it all! The chocolate ecstasy cake for dessert is a must. It’s a big portion as well so it’s shareable. Excellent moist and creamy served with chocolate syrup — can’t beat that. Place and bathrooms were clean and well kept. I highly recommend this location.

After 20 minutes of waiting in the parking lot for someone to leave to get a parking space, we selected to leave.

We really like Flanagan’s. Their grilled dolphin is a favorite go-​to of mine and my husband loves their ribs. He compares everyone else’s to theirs, no matter where we go. He also loves their potato skins, and they are nice enough to leave off the bacon on half of them for me. The dolphin fingers are pretty good, too. Service is almost always great. Usually a wait to get seated, but worth it. Just DON’T get the key lime pie. It is yellow tinted whipped cream on a graham cracker crust, garnished with more whipped cream. Seriously, a key lime travesty!(FYI, for the best Key Lime pie in the world, got to Cap’s Place in Fort Lauderdale.)

I’ve been sitting at the bar over 7 minutes! Haven’t even had one person corn over after multiple attempts asking about service to multiple waiters!
horrible service!
and the place is not even 50% full!

They give you a souvenir cup to take home if you get a soda or water. The happy hour specials were pretty good (even though we were too early for happy hour which started at 9 pm). I had the ribs with curly fries, and it was delicious. They also had wing specials (Wing Wednesdays) where you could get 10 free buffalo wings with a pitcher. The service was kind of slow though. We waited a while for our check.

Flanigan’s is one of my usual lunch go to places for their $ 5.99 lunch specials but they are also awesome at dinner and late night. Came in here with a big party once (around 15+ people) without calling first and the staff was amazing. They fit us all on the patio at one table and even sat another 10+ person seating right after us. Both with minimal waiting. Our waitress was great. Didn’t mix up anyone’s food or drink order and had a sense of humor the whole time.
Tip: Try the rockin rib rolls. Who knew bbq ribs in egg roll form could be so good.

6÷22÷2015 — I’ve never been to Fannigan’s and I should be ashamed. My sister invited me to lunch and suggested we came here. As soon as we walked in, Kristin greeted us. Our waitress was equally awesome. I ordered the Texas Burger, HUGE. My sister ordered the Chicken Sandwich, HUGE. When the waitress brought it and asked if we wanted anything else, I said «an extra mouth». My burger was perfect, medium rare. Crumbled blue cheese and bacon… need I say more?
I need to come back during a Nascar race, hopefully they will grant me my request. There are tons of TV’s, cool atmosphere, friendly staff. Next time, I’ll go check out the bar area and see what they have on Tap.

Not bad, but a little strange.
I think the food was pretty average and the service was good. The strange part was how it reminded me of TGI Fridays or something like that. I have no complaints as we were seated right away, received what we ordered and had what we needed.
The vibe seemed like it was a bit like everyone just returned from a motivational speaking seminar. I think friendly service is great, but this just seemed over the top to me, that it didn’t feel warm but tedious. The only person that seemed «normal» was the trainee with our server. He was actually nice without being overwhelming. I hope they don’t ruin him.
We both ordered a cheese steak and they were pretty good, so no complaints on the food. I will just have a hard time coming back here for lunch. It’s loud and hard to hear. I feel like when someone is performing that hard I have to react accordingly and that’s more focus than I really want to offer during my lunch hour.

I have been to many flanigans. This Flanigans has to be the most top notch one yet. When I came in it was slammed with guests and orders were taken prompt and with ease. My bartender «lil nikki «I wish I could bring her with me to all bars to be my bartender she is sweet and fast. This is coming from someone that know what it is like to be at the intense Hialeah and laugerhead stores. Other Flanigans should take a page from this store and build from there, «Lil Nikki» is on fire!

So I saw a friend post nachos from Flannigan’s on their Facebook page last week and it put me in the mood. On Mondays, you can get a free order of nachos with the purchase of a pitcher (beer, soda, lemonade). The boyfriend and I decided to try it out. I’m not much of a beer drinker but we ordered Blue Moon and our nachos with chili on the side (I don’t eat red meat). I inquired about getting chicken but they’re strict with no substitutions. I asked if I could just order a chicken breast and the waitress said she would have to charge me for a chicken sandwich with no bun and no sides but I’d still be paying about 7.99 for a breast of chicken. Do I have STUPID written on my forehead?!? I opted to just have plain nachos while the bf ate the chili (which he said was average). Btw, plenty of restaurants have accommodated me with plain chicken breast (when I ate clean) for a few dollars.
I also ordered a side of pasta salad ($ 2.49). I usually order this as my meal and it’s delicious but this time it left very little to be desired. About a measely quarter cup of overly cooked and soggy noodles with one red onion. I could make a whole pound of pasta for that price!
The bill was about $ 18. Honestly, I’d rather go to Ale House next door and get chicken nachos of the same portion and better quality ($ 9.99).

We came here for St Paddy’s Day and suprisingly they still had their normal Happy Hour Specials. We got lucky and scored a few seats at the bar. The lines were long and at one point the wait for a table was over 2 hours. We split the Corned Beef dinner special for $ 14.99 and it was plenty for 2 people. The staff was great despite the long lines and huge crowds. Overall it was allot of fun and didn’t break the bank

First… Not sure why they call this a seafood bar and grill because their seafood options leave much to be desired. Nevertheless, went here with two other couples for dinner after a night of bowling. Their tv setup is great. The game was on and no matter which direction you sat in, you could see what was happening. Unfortunately, that meant we had a 20 minute wait for a table. Not a bad deal at all for a decent sized group. The wait to be greeted after sitting, however, is the kind of stuff that pushes my buttons, but I was hungry and it was getting late. Server came over and took drink and appetizer orders. By this time we also knew what entrees we wanted so we ordered everything all at one time. This may have overwhelmed her, because it took forever to get our drinks. And from there pretty much everything moved slowly. In the girls defense, she was pleasant and tried to tell jokes and make small talk while we waited. Unfortunately, we were a crew of hungry people and she wasn’t that funny.
What saves this review is my personal entrée. I ordered the Texas Burger with no bun and extra lettuce. It came out just how I ordered it and was quite tasty. I ate every single piece and had not one complaint. All the fixins worked with one another and the patty was cooked perfectly. My husbands burger on the other hand — not so good. Luck of the draw I guess.
Overall, not a bad place for decent food and watching sports tv. I’ve been here a few times and its never been a horrible experience. I will likely return. Just next time, I’ll be prepared for the wait on game night.
