Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill

After looking at Google for seafood restaurants for our 1st night in Miami, we decided on Flanigan’s. Hot damn, what a great choice!! Atmosphere and energy was electric! Sat at the bar while we waited for our table (15 min) and the service and Mojitos were fantastic! Food was fantastic!! Started with the firecracker shrimp, off the charts!! I had the ribs and wings platter, tasty (french fries were terrible but I wasn’t planning on eating anyway), while the lady had the Cajun pasta. While table service was slower, it is because they are hiring and currently understaffed, plus the place is packed at all times of night. We left at 10:30 and people were still streaming in!! All in all, absolutely wonderful first night experience in The City!!!

I love Flannigan's n never have had any issues...but Tuesday night was crazy w waitress Keira being hyper n in our faces every 2 mins.. unacceptable n she declined to tell us where she was from which we found rude ...n wanted to scheme us into some game for $...crazy 🤣 I hope Flannigan's n North Miami hasn't changed their approach to customer service as we love it there but felt super pressured n not at all relaxed...had just gotten home from a flight n super hungry n left that place feeling ambushed ..not cool at all

This is always a bustling spot. Secured a seat at the bar and was promptly greeted. I appreciated the personal touch when the bartender asked for my name and continued to address me by it.

Among the offerings, their massive burger, topped with mushrooms and onions, stands out. It's so generous in size that I often split it, ensuring delightful leftovers for the next day. The food is consistently good, which is expected from a franchise.

However, there was a hiccup with my order. My fries sat too long in the window and arrived lukewarm. After pointing it out, the bartender assured a replacement, but seemed to forget. I had to remind him 15 minutes later. Unfortunately, the new batch was also not as hot as I'd have liked. I ended up taking them home and reheating them the next day.

I'll definitely return, as I've had better experiences before and believe everyone deserves a second chance.
