Was a little nervous about it living up to flip flops standards and was highly impressed! Similar menu but is tweaked. Best veggie burger I have ever had!
Stopped here for a couple drinks and some nachos. Sercice was great, and the nachos, the potato chip ones, were even better. Would definitely go back again. The hostess was very friendly as was the bartender.
Excellent experience. Made a reservation for our large group. We ordered the famous cheeseburger rolls and they're the same. What was AMAZING was the new hand pressed veggie burger. Well done!
Great refresh on flips flops. Place looks good as well. Nice additions to the menu.
Sirloin tips were huge...medium rare was medium rare, spinach & potato with bacon mouth watering... oven roasted salmon with wild mushrooms & risotto was unbelievable! Salmon was about 1 1/4 inch thick, perfectly tender and very tasty. Classy presentation as well. Wait staff are appropriate, not intrusive. Overall great dining experience...Rif Raf band was shaking the house...
My boyfriend and I always come here and are never dissapointed with food or drinks. The staff is great and the owner is always there, which shows me he cares alot about his business. We also love the atmosphere especially now with the updates.
We stopped for appetizers and drinks: got the rolled cheeseburger; "not"-chos, cocktail shrimp and Tuscan wings - everything was off-the-charts fantastic! Service was perfect and prices reasonable. Will definitely return to check out their entrees.
Grabbed takeout after a long week. Local has managed to make take out really cute. Lovely presentation and the food is pretty great. Their meatballs are fabulous. They were polite and helpful when I called in, didn’t rush me at all, and took the time to answer my questions. Awesome!! Can’t wait to go in person
My family went there Friday night, it was busy but no long wait. This new restaurant is a great upgrade, same family as owned Flip Flops but redecorated DIY style and a revised menu. It's focused on locally produced foods which is neat. We had 1) the "Local Mac n Cheese" which is the best we've ever had (YUM) 2) a great fresh "Super Green" salad and 3) a pizza with unexpected combination "Flying Dragon" which was wonderful. I highly recommend this place. Love the addition!
We went in Friday night for drinks and supper... this place was packed! Standing room only for the bar area and tables all full.... which we thought was a good indicator of our impending evening. To start, I ordered the Sticky Asian Ribs. Well all I can say is WOW! With a brown sugar soy glaze, smoked, chopped peanuts, crispy shallots and cilantro and this could have fed 2 people and this was an appetizer. Drinks started with the Cure The Cold Cider, hot spiked apple cider, simmered with cinnamon, nutmeg, oranges and cranberries! During this time a band came on, The Midnight Riders, how much fun were they! Everyone was so having a great time listening to them, they were really talented. We ordered a cheese pizza and a pizza with caramelized onion, garlic and they use real San Marzano sauce... LOVE right there. No burnt crust, thin and delish, highly recommend. Last drinks were the Sparkling Figtini, that was a Fig vodka, Gran Gala, Pomegranate juice topped with Prosecco and a lemon..a delightful accompaniment to the warm fudge brownie 😋 the bar staff were doing an amazing job considering how busy the restaurant was last night! Great food, drinks and a cool band! Highly recommend!
