Flamingo Pizza of Miller

Thursday nights pot roast diner was a hit. Took some home to the hubs and he was raving about how tender it was. The pizza was a hit too. Our server Gabby was on top of the drinks and service was great l! I love the fun vibe in the bar area ! It’s like the Cheers of Miller ! Everybody knows everybody

I love Flamingo. The pizza is simply the best and a great reminder of my childhood from the original Flamingo on Broadway. The perch is amazing. Bathrooms clean. Staff is fabulous and attentive. Love Denise and Val! Food comes out fast. It is absolutely like Cheers where everyone knows each other and newcomers are always welcome. My only complaint would be that they need to invest in a ventilation system. It is way too smoky. They have a non smoking area but in a one room establishment it’s not ideal. I’m still a regular. It’s worth the smoke.

Best pizza around and awesome atmosphere. Yes there is a lot of smoking inside but who cares when your surrounded by nice people, cheap drinks, and amazing food!

The food is great and I ordered the big bird which was excellent. I had scrambled eggs, pan sausage and regular sausage, bacon, ham and hash browns with biscuits and gravy as well as on. Delicious is all I can say!

The place is so smoky, I walked in and could not even breathe in the place! Ordered some pizza, and waited in the side kitchen area to avoid the smoke! I thought restaurants in Indiana were supposed to be smoke free! Anyway, pizza was skimpy and mediocre! Won’t go back again.

Really good place. Wonderful staff and always spotless. The pizza is good and the atmosphere is fun but still relaxing.

Another place that will never get my business ever! 21 and over only? For a pizza place? I do not understand why an establishment would want to limit their customer base so much.

First I need to say that in no way is this one star representative of the hard working, friendly wait staff. The bartender, on the other hand, is one of the rudest people I have ever met! You will know exactly who I am talking about if you should decide to check this place out.
The BLT had one little tomato and one piece of lettuce. What is crazy is this used to be one of my favorite meals to get with the seasoned waffle fries, but it seems like the cooks just don’t care anymore. The food also took forever to come out. The lake perch and house salad with the house dressing still rocks, but the attitude of that bartender cancels that out. I would recommend sticking with the lake perch and tartar sauce to go. Just try not to piss off the bartender and hold your breath cause smoking is still allowed in there. I hope they get their act together because this place could be good again… If they even care anymore.

This is a restaurant/​bar. Outdoor patio is very nice. Great food and great workers. Never a long wait for anything. Your wish if their command. 99.9 percent of the time a great polite crowd. The BLT turkey club is hugh and delicious. The steaks are worth going after repeatedly with family friends or alone. Parking is scant but is there. Real close to the Lake Michigan dunes. Just go and enjoy yourself. Guarantee you’ll go back!

Very smoky. I did not realize that they were given provisions to allow smoking in this restaurant and bar. Just beware. The smoke was so thick I had to leave. I heard the food was good… don’t know.

I really liked the pizza here last night. Pretty sure they cook in a wood stove. Anyhow, it was very good. We got some dough sticks, which were OK, but I think I would try their plethora of potato appetizer options next time. The wings looked good too.
Yeah, it’s smoky. If that will ruin your night, don’t come here. We sat in the back of the restaurant and it wasn’t too bad.
The sandwiches also look delicious. We are looking forward to returning soon!

Excellent pizza + more for those finding themselves close to Miller beach. You cannot go wrong with either their pizza, perch, or italian beef. Paired with a great local (ish) microbrew, a fantastic way to spend a lunch or dinner with family/​friends. Would recommend the perch platter for newcomers as it’s truly great!

If I owned a bar I would want it to be like this. Great older crowd, excellent food, and good beer selection. I have never had a bad meal here!

Smoky, noisy and dark is what I found. Ordered appetizer sampler only to have them make unnoted substitutions. Lake perch is average priced but the portions are smaller than what I am accustomed to.
NOT a family stop; called ahead one day when I had grandchildren in tow and was informed they were not welcome.
I won’t be back.

I had the opportunity to check out this place late Saturday afternoon with a friend. He’s been there a few times since living in the area and wanted me to give it a try. One thing he warned me about is that it does get smoky since smoking is allowed in the establishment. Of course I’m used to smoke free living in Illinois. So that was an adjustment though it didn’t really get bad until near the end of our meal.
So it seemed I had no real luck with my orders. I wanted to start with an hard apple cider from their extensive beer menu. The original one I picked wasn’t available but luckily they did have Angry Orchard, which I like as well. That wound up being good as was my sip of my friend’s India Pale Ale beer.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to order as everything sounded good but then I settled on the Swiss & Shroom burger and requested a pretzel bun for an extra buck. As luck would have it, they had no pretzel buns so I had to settle for a regular bun. I also ordered a side of fries to go with my burger. I received my order and actually thought the amount of fries was lacking (but then again I don’t need the extra calories anyway). The burger itself was very tasty so that was fine.
My friend ordered his favorite dish, the Chef Salad, which looked quite tasty and plentiful. He enjoyed it. It’s a nice charming place even with the stale smoke in the air. I would say the smoke was its own character.

On a Sunday @ 4pm, the place was almost full. We both only ordered BLT sandwiches with fries & Pepsi, it only took SEVENTY MINUTES for it to get to our table! I never realized that u could fry the flavor right out of bacon, but they did it! & how do u ruin white toast? The bread was hard & dry, the bacon was way overcooked. I knew we were in trouble when the waitress wouldn’t make eye contact.
I couldn’t wait to leave & will not be going back.

Pizza is great (or not… the other food can be very good or mediocre .But very inconsistent)! Pizza can have great crust and ingredients one day… the next… it’s a disappointing uneven mess with old burned pieces covering the crust’s bottom (they obviously don’t always clean the ovens regularly). Try the Lake Perch. very good. Hamburgers are also good.
Cigarette smoking IS allowed. so order out unless you like smoke. If you want to eat in. order for take out and sit on the outdoor side patio (ps: they often don’t answer their take out phones).

Pizza is hit or miss, but they craft a mean turkey and/​or ham club sandwich. Prices are worth the quality of food, they provide pleasant service and it’s convenient.
I recently tried a breakfast and it was surprisingly decent; again convenience and supporting the local businesses plays a role, but worth it.

We went to Flamingo’s a while back and ordered a thin crust cheese pizza and the lake perch dinner. The lake perch was very good. The pizza, however, can only be described as inedible. There was a very thin crust on the bottom, some sauce in the middle, and about five pounds of cheese on top. There was so much cheese on this pizza that it was almost unrecognizable as a pizza.
We went back for lunch the other day and had a good meal. I decided to try the pizza in another form and ordered the calzone. It was good and the ingredients were proportionate. My boyfriend had a burger and liked it. The service was good and we had a nice meal.
I would like to give this place four stars, but I have to settle on three because they allow smoking. I realize that smoking is allowed in bars in the state of Indiana, but come on, we have entered 2014; no one should be allowed to smoke in a place that serves food. I was in there for an hour and when I left my jacket smelled like my uncle’s basement on Christmas Eve in 1985.

Pizza: tasty.
Service: mediocre.
Owner: RUDE, insulting to the wait staff, and dropping F*** bombs while having to declog the toilet in the back of the restaurant. He told a CUSTOMER who needed to use the restroom to «F*** off» while he tried to fix the problem, and then proceeded to curse and yell at one of the two flustered waitresses who were obviously trying to service the frustrated customers who were waiting an excessive time for a table and their dinner.
To the ignorant, seedy, degenerate, disreputable low-​life «owner,» tall man with gray hair, black shirt, and jean shorts: learn how to treat your staff and YOUR CUSTOMERS better and you’ll get a better review. How DARE you get pissed off because your shitty toilets aren’t working properly? You’re the owner, grow a PAIR and take care of these issues yourself. I certainly don’t appreciate hearing your filthy mouth running off about your crappy plumbing. I hope it overflowed and got all over your shoes. Jerk.
