My friends love to go here for happy hour. Â When I join them we split the loaded nachos, which is huge. Â I love their special frozen drinks, although I can never taste much liquor in them.
They usually have daily specials, which are written on a blackboard. Â My mom likes their prime rib or baby back ribs. Â For dessert the key lime pie is delicious. Â The service is usually good.
If you go to this Flanigan's  be aware that the tip is already on your bill.
Flanigan's has always been one of those go-to restaurants for my friends and I. I have very fond memories of long summer days during high school where we would spend the whole day at the beach and end our day at Flanigan's.
Basically everything on the menu is delicious. I don't think I've ever been disappointed with a meal. Over the years my favorite dish has changed but no matter what I always find my way back to each and every one of them. My number one recommendation on the menu is the Caesar Burger. What is the Caesar Burger you ask? This is a special menu item that Flanigan's likes to keep secret. Yes, it is not on the menu, but you can still order it. The thing is amazing and a nice side of curly fries tops off the meal.
If you somehow still have room for dessert you need to get the banzai brownie. This dessert is not for the faint of heart and usually needs to be shared with about 4 people. If you can top one off on your own, you've just become my hero.
I can't complete my review without talking about the happy hour. And boy, does Flanigan's know how to do happy hour! Monday-Friday from 4pm-7pm every alcoholic beverage is half off. If that doesn't sound good enough, they do it all over again from 9pm-closing every night. Honestly, it just doesn't get any better than that.
I don't think I can say anything else about Flanigan's that hasn't already been said. It's just one of those places that everyone loves and where you can get a great meal for a decent price. The happy hour is also another reason Flanigan's can hardly be beat.
This is my new go to spot on my days off. Great lunch deal and I like to ride my bike to the beach and stop in for a beer on my way back home. Brian is a great bartender and the food and prices can't be beat. I'm a sucker for an Irish pub, so that combined with the fishing vibe makes it a great place to hang out. I really recommend.
My only issue is service is hit or miss at the tables. They have some great servers and some that are very poor and hardly seem to care. Gratuity is included, so I always leave at least that, but the extra on top is usually given when I get that good service. It makes all the difference.
This is a cool place to go if you want just some good pub food. I got the wings which were great. Some friends got the burgers and fish sandwhiches where were good too. I like how they actually gave bags of ice to put in the pitchers so they wouldn't get cold. That's a nice added touch. If you are visiting Miami, then go to a nice place for some good memories, but if you just want to catch a game while at the beach or after some boating, this is a great joint.
Review Source:Okay, so I might be a little sweet on Big Daddy Flanigan. Every time I dine here I have a wonderful flashback to spring break in Daytona Beach where my high school friends and I partied like rock stars for 10 days straight.
Flash forward and I'm now staying in Bal Harbour (still on spring break) but a very different experience with Big Daddy Flanigan.
I dined at noon on a Tuesday. There were a few guys at the bar (already) but no one else inside. I sat outside and enjoyed the cool Miami temperature. The lunch specials are the best bargain on Miami Beach. For $5.99 you can get a huge 10oz burger and fries or a big chicken sandwich or soup and salad or tasty chicken wings. Try eating at Micky Dees for this price.
My burger was cooked to perfection and there were so many fries they were falling off the plate. Service is always professional. These are real waiters not kids working after school. Very attentive and so polite.
My only issue is that they consider Surfside a tourist zone and include the tip on the bill for all those "Europeans" who pretend to not understand American tipping. Even with the few extras I ordered I felt that $1.66 as a tip was unfair to anyone who served a full lunch service to me. Â I had to disagree with Big Daddy on this and give my server just a little more that was well deserved.
Flaaaaaaan's Surfside. Basically our second kitchen. They never disappoint, I always get excited to go, and their staff makes it even better. Seriously have never gone to one restaurant so many times. It's kinda weird, but their quality and diverse menu always has something for whatever mood you're in, and they have a solid line-up of draft beer which is clutch. The bar is also nicely stocked and you cannot beat their happy hour. Dolphin Fingers are so perfect, we get them almost every time. There's also plenty of pictures (just like at every Flans) of a guy who lived the most amazing life ever everywhere and TVs for all your sport viewing needs.
Review Source:Quite disappointing dinner last night. We ordered the flanigan burger with sweet potato fries and the loaded nachos.
The patties was good, well cooked and big (10 oz) but i didn't really like the bun which was dry and didn't taste fresh and moist as a regular bun. There was however a good amount of melting cheese, onions and mushrooms. The fries were good, crispy but soft inside. They really tasted like sweet potato and not only the fry.
The loaded nachos were a big disappointment. It was huge but only very generous in chips. Only the top was cheesy and there was only a little bit of chili inside but not much. Many chips were left naked and that was disappointing.
Not dessert but they have a massive brownie i might try next time. I might also try their ribs if we come back.
Am I giving Flannigan's four stars? Yes, yes I am. We were walking around Surfside on a GORGEOUS Saturday and there really weren't many appealing places open. Normally I'm not interested in bar food joints but my husband had never been to a Flannigan's so we figured why not.
I love love the nautical decor and the room we were sat in had the windows open in letting the breeze in and it was so nice. Our waitress was awesome, friendly, quick and helpful. I was happy to see that not all the meals were diet busting. I had a cup of the seafood gumbo and the dinner salad- yum! Everything was fresh and that pairing was about $9. The gumbo was packed with shrimp, fish and other goodies. Also had the right amount of spice. The salad was also nice and fresh. My husband had the Texas burger which had blue cheese and crispy onions. The bite I had was quite tasty and he seemed happy, so that's good.
Definitely will keep in mind for future visits to Surfside or even for game day next college football season.
i absolutely love going to Flanigans. Dont forget to get the pitcher deals! Â on monday thru thursday there are different appetizers that are free with the purchase of a pitcher of either beer, soda or lemonade. Monday: Loaded nachos, Tuesday: tumbeweed onion strings, Wednesday: 10 WINGS!, thursday: smoked fish dip. Â enjoy everyone!
Review Source:This has always been my favorite Flanigan's location. The environment is chill, the burgers never disappoint, and the service is always spot on.
It's located in Surfside, which is cool, if you're loaded with green, I guess. For broke people, such as myself, I can only enjoy the like of a fair-priced, gigantic burger while watching a game of basketball, and pretending to be some post-Jock.
As for the food, I mean, everyone talks about the ribs, but I'm too attached to their burger to even make an attempt to make a switch. All of their burgers are top notch, by the way.
Ironically, out of the thousand of times I've been here, I've yet to have tried their Seafood.
Perhaps, someday...
I came here to watch a college basketball game on an obscure channel, and the manager made it happen to accomodate us. A lot of HDTV's all around, and we were seated quickly without an attitude.
After 9pm, they have 1/2 price drinks. The burgers are about as affordable as you can find in SoFla.
The loaded baked potato is very good option.
Stay away from the desserts. Ugh.
Only other negative thing here is pay lot parking.
If you've ever been to Flanigan's then, well, it's a Flanigan's. Every time I've been here, I've had good food & good service. I would say the only downside to this place is that since it's on the beach, you have to pay to park. It's sort of expected but such a hassle when getting take-out. I would suggest that they add one or two "to-go" spots. Also, the owner of the Flanigan's liquor store is extremely tow-happy or so I've been told by a few employees.
Review Source:I've always liked Flanigan's in general, but this particular Flanigan's is my new favorite!
My wonderful experience started on Saturday afternoon when I called to confirm that I would be able to view my college football game of choice at their establishment. The very friendly Monique said, "We can put on whatever game you want to watch". Right answer!
Our group of 7 arrived and we opted to sit at the bar. Monique remembered talking to me earlier and tuned the TV across from us to the Rutgers - Tulane game.
She and TJ took excellent care of us all night - bringing us $1 off New Castle drafts (!!!) and reminding us at 9pm that ALL drinks were half off. Half off of already reasonably priced drinks! I think the standard American drafts were $2 before happy hour. I mean really? It's cheaper to drink here than at home! A few of the ladies in our group ordered Cosmos and enjoyed them very much.
The food was also reasonably priced, generously portioned and absolutely delicious!
The other patrons were locals, just out to enjoy a night of college football and beer. No douche-baggery to be found in the whole place!
Flanigan's is a place that my normal self might not ever patronize, but it's a place that Vacation Christina absolutely adores. Why is that? It's a somewhat cheesy fisherman-themed chain restaurant, similar to a TGI Fridays, with lots of deep fried items, huge desserts, and lots of locations everywhere that probably look exactly the same. But Vacation Christina enjoys things that my normal self doesn't, such as dirt cheap prices on watery light beer, anything with air conditioning on a hot  Miami day, and an easy place with friendly service to fall back on.
As for the food, I had decent and tasty choices both times I was there. My burger was just average, but the mahi mahi fliet that I tasted was excellent, as was the obscenely large Shenanigans dessert, which is a huge piece of apple pie serving as a base for an equally large ice cream sundae. Yes, it's as disgusting as it sounds, in the best way possible. For some reason the weekend we were there the waitstaff was all about pushing the firecracker shrimp on us, so we tried it a couple of times, and it's a fatty delight: deep fried shrimp pieces topped with a spicy, mayo-filled sauce. Again, not something I would think to order in normal life, but indulgent and good. Didn't love the limp iceberg salad it came on, though.
One of the best times I had on my trip was cozying up at a booth one evening with my friends, eating that Shenanigans, having beer, and playing with the Trivial Pursuit cards they have at each table. Simple fun, but I can't deny that Flanigan's brought the good times!
I'm going to be honest here & tell you guys something I don't tell many people, I actually really love chain restaurants. I know, why?! We're in Miami were there are many small businesses to choose from and while I love to support them too there's just something about knowing your going to get a consistent plate when you walk in somewhere. I've been here a few times now as its close to home and every time has been pretty good. I didn't really love this place until last night. Why you might ask, well because I found out the have late night happy hour from 9 pm to close (2am) 50% off all drinks! That made my girlfriends beer $1.50 and my frozen drinks $1.99 are you kidding? For 6 drinks, 20 wing and fries we paid $44 (that's including tax and 15% grat.) I am in love, and you will find my happy self parked here at least once a week after 9 ;)
Review Source:I am so disgusted with this place. All alone for the day I decided I wanted my favorite dish I always get. But because I don't choose to sit all alone by myself in the restaurant I am not allowed to order it. That is for dine in only. I was told. When I asked for a manager he said he couldn't because he would get in trouble with corporate. But I could order it all separately and pay much more and have less quality food by the time I got home. He felt it was not right and his name was Michael. A nice guy but chose to lose me as a customer for good. I don't like being discriminated against for any reason. Let alone for being alone. That is wrong. I am so upset because my family loves eating at flanigans but because of this they won't get to ever again. Discrimination is WRONG! And I won't tolerate it from someone I am giving my hard earned money to. You want my money you have to take care of me. And I was not taken care of. I was humiliated because my family was not with me. But if I was a loser and wanted to sit at the bar by myself getting drunk they would be ok with that. Never again.
update...corporate manager called me back and was one of the most rude and nasty people i have ever talked to in a long time...she didn't care how i was made to feel by this situation and she told me under no certain terms was the policy going to change and she didn't care that i thought it should be changed...this just solidifies my stance of NEVER giving my money to these people ever again
I wrote on April 2011 that we will be back and we are back. We went to Flanigans on Harding Ave today for late Lunch and had the fantastic tender juicy Baby Back Ribs. They were tender and perfect like at our last visit to Flanigans., Â My absolute favorite place for Baby Back Ribs in Miami is Shortys in South Miami. Shortys is a 10 from 10 and Flanigans Ribs are a 9.5 from 10. Â Service was okay, but what we dont like is when waiters bring the check and we havent asked for the check already. That makes us feel like "go, hurry up, i need your table for other customers". Waitress was asking for dessert when we had not finished our main dish.
Review Source:My wife & I went to Flanigan's following a friend's recommendation.  We had driven most of the day and did not eat much... quite hungry.  It was early, around 5 pm and we were seated immediately near the bar.  It is a sports bar type of place with a pretty standard menu.  We ordered tried and true entrees:  baby ribs for my wife and prime rib for myself.  We shared a salad.  The salad was generous and fresh, great start!  Ribs were excellent, falling off the bone and had a little zest to the taste.  The prime rib came medium well exactly as ordered.  Most important, the meat itself is surely U.S. prime.  Delicious.  (Several chains seem to have switched  to an inferior cut of beef during the last 14 months.)  Happy to see that Flanigan's continue to maintain its quality of food.
Delicious food, cheerful service, super!
Ahhhh,,my dear Flanigan's. This is the hot spot for Bal Harbour,,Surfside,,Bay Harbour Island and Indian Creek. Sometimes,,the service could be a little bit better considering the fact that it is such a local place. You'll find it all here. Pretty ritzy for a sports bar but there's always an occasional weirdo. As for their 1/2 price happy hour from 9pm-close,,Well good luck finding that somewhere else in Miami. If you're hungry,,go for the wings,,blackened Mahi sandwich,,steamers or Philly cheesesteak. Their curly fries are good too. Tried and true,,Flaningan's,,what would we do without you?! Much love.
Review Source:The decor was kitchy and fun. The service was excellent. I wasn't totally wowed with my meal but I also got the burger whereas I am sure most people who come here get fish. I was just in a burger mood for some reason. It was tasty even though I am sure there are other things on their menu that are more signature to their menu. My husband said his fish was awesome.
I will definitely try this place again. It is a great casual place for drinks and food. Lots of drink specials, good variety on their menu and reasonable prices.
Haven't been to this chain yet, so we figured we would try it. The food was quite good, I had some pan fried mahi. Service was good, beer was decent. Price was good, and the place was pretty funny as far as being stright out of the 60s. They seem to have some much better late night deals (after 8 or 9). I am sure I will be back.
Review Source:My favorite Flanigan's location - been going to this place for over 15 years, and love it. The ribs are one of the best ever, the burgers are great, and the drink specials are fantastic.
When Football season hits, there's no better place to come for a Monday Night game - if you order a pitcher of any beer or soda (who's gonna order a pitcher of Soda??) you get a loaded nachos free....after 10pm, order another pitcher, and get a dozen wings free!! Gotta love it!
Let's call this what it is, not 5 star dining, it is a bar tavern, sports bar, casual family restaurant that I have been going to for well over 20 years at various locations. You can't go wrong with this place, this chain and family of restaurants though as the food quality and pricing is consistent, drink prices more than reasonable and service fast and efficient over numerous visits. Â I can sit here and describe in details the various dishes that have been consumed over the years, but rather just keep it basic as the food always is good no matter what you order. Â
By far aside from the daily specials, nightly specials etc is Joes Meal Deal which after choosing your variety of entree's you receive a Large Caesar Salad with croutons and bacon bits. Â An order of soft soaked in butter & garlic rolls and your entree with side. Â By far and I say this without hesitation the finest baby back ribs I've ever eaten anywhere every single time you order them. Â Large rack, fall off the bone with great tangy sauce. More sauce available with containers on the table. Sides range from vegetables, fries, baked potatoes, dirty rice etc. Â Meal deal also includes choice of soft drink or draft beer and if you choose an Iced tea or pink lemonade they are bottomless refills. Â For $18.99 full rack with all of the above I seriously doubt there is finer overall option anywhere. Â
Been many times but Ribs were so good last night I had to give them a big thumbs up!
Love this Flanigans! Its located 1 block from my job at the Bal Harbour Shops and I come here for lunch with my wife all the time. They have some great lunch specials and you can usually enjoy a big lunch for a pretty great price. They also have their "lunch cards" where you get a stamp for every meal you enjoy here, and on your tenth meal, lunch is free!
Service is hit or miss. Â We've had some great waiters and some truly awful ones. The young man behind the bar who does the take-out orders (I forget his name) is AWESOME! He's really nice and does a great job. Kudos to him!
If you don't want to spend a small fortune by eating at the Bal Harbour Shops, then stop in at Flanigans for some burgers and fries and appetizers.
Favorite dish: Chicken Stickers, Medium, with honey mustard and fries! yum!
I wasn't a big fan of Flanigan's until one day I got off from work late and wanted a drink so i went to flanigan's I sat a the bar my boyfriend joined me we ate some chicken wings and had like 3 drinks each when we saw the check we tough that the bartender had made a mistake then we check the bill again and we notice that everything was half price wow since then we are big fans!!! we go like 2 or 3 times a week after work service is good, drinks are good and prices are excellent.
Review Source:I'm just not a big fan of Flanigan's. The menu just doesn't excite me. However, they are very consistent and can be counted on for good bar food and great drink specials.
One other issue with this Flanie's is the parking. You'll have to pay metered parking. Luckily you can now use plastic to pay for parking.
You cannot go wrong with this place, this chain and family of restaurants.
Good food, good service, just great people serving their community for a long time. Â If you are looking for a no frills American bar fare with weekly fresh catch of the day specials,.. or a chill place to watch a game with friends and drink a little too much,. go to your local Flanigan's... There's a good chance you'll meet your local community leader/ politician that when once drinking, can easily be persuaded to change that traffic pattern outside your home.... Thank you sir.

Review is for the Surfside location,. but same would apply for Doral and da Grove.
Consistency. Â Flanigan's has got that successful business trait down pat.
YOU CANNOT BEAT A 50% OFF HAPPY HOUR ON ALREADY REASONABLY PRICED DRINKS! Â You can't. So don't try. Â Especially when it's 50% off EVERYTHING!
Once again: Can't beat it. Â Don't try.
The food is consistently good enough for slurping down cheap top shelf liquor. Â I like their wings and the burger isn't too bad either.
After 9pm, I fall in love with Flanigan's all over again. Â For the sake of perspective, I spent less than $20 on 3 drinks, 2 shots and an order of wings. Â Hello!
I haven't found a better happy hour and trust me, I've searched. Â The bartenders are very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed with all kinds of people hanging out, having a good time. Â Try it out. Â If ya don't like it, have a drink on me. Â ;-)
The best bargain on the beach with amazingly consistent food and outstanding service!!!
The most unbeatable lunch deal anywhere on the beach: 10oz. cheeseburgers with fries, wings with fries, huge pasta salads topped with tuna, crab or chicken, soup and salad, soup and sandwich, 1/2 bbq chicken, and more are only $5 each with purchase of any beverage until 4pm. Even better, they give you a lunch card that is welcome at any Flanigans that will make every 10th lunch free.
Can't get there until after 4pm? Then enjoy 1/2 priced happy hour (pints are less than $2) until 7.
I can't speak any higher of the service here, always welcoming and friendly. I maybe go for lunch there once every two months or so at most and the bartender Brian always greets me by name and most other customers as well. Free to read newspapers can be found on the bar. Sporting events and news channels are on the TV's.
If you want to have a relaxing no frills place to go this is it. I enjoy all their salads and the ribs are famous. I really enjoy it because the servers are real people that make you feel welcome. The happy Hours are unbelievable. Plus Surfside is never crowded so you don't have to wait for a table, a bar stool sometimes. After 9PM is great. Kick Back and enjoy a cold one with friends, by yourself or with that someone special. Then take a walk on the Beach.
Review Source:Yes Yes...I was staying in North Miami for work and was looking for some food late at night. Since my friend and I are not familiar with North Miami, I decided to open up my trusty Yelp and look for some late night recommendations.
And, this is how I come to know Flanigans.
We split the chicken wings, which being chicken wing freaks, we thought they were ok. Crispy and and big, it just needed a little more spicy wing sauce. To add the blue cheese dressing, I thought it was odd that it was $0.50 more! I ended up getting a veggie plate while my friend got the burger. The vodka martinis were the special that night, so we were feeling fine when we left.
Totally a chain, pretty average menu selection. But the food that we did get was good, the service was great, and the drinks were mighty strong. Overall, not a bad choice for late night dining.
drinks are stiff and the food is greasy! Â PERFECT!
we had a friend that worked at the bar there and we'd go when she was working. Â we drank many nights away there and walked home a couple too. Â i've been to a couple flanny's in my day and this one has the best atmosphere and crowd. Â you can always find someone to chat with at the bar who is a long time local or visiting on business.
their food is ok, i like their ceasar salad, chicken wings, fish sandwich, steaks and clam chowder.
Pitchers. All I want to remember are the pitchers. They had some food too, and even pool tables if you get bored, but the pitchers were where the party was.
Located across the street from the resort I stayed at on a business trip to Miami Beach, Flanigan's was the only chill bar that was easy to get to/from without taking a cab.
The people weren't too stuck up, either, considering where this place is located.
