Title: A Vibrant Late-Night Gem with Irresistible Food and Atmosphere! Rating: (5/5) My friends and I stumbled upon Flanigans Seafood Bar & Grille in Kendall on a lively Saturday night. With hunger in our bellies and a desire for a late-night feast, we were thrilled to find Flanigans open until 2:00 AM. Arriving around 10 PM, we were met with a bustling crowd and a 30-minute wait. Luckily, we found seats at the bar, where we enjoyed cold Samuel Adams Boston Lager drafts during our wait. The ambiance at Flanigans is inviting and perfect for those seeking a vibrant atmosphere. The place attracts a diverse crowd, from young couples on dates to families looking for a good time. The setup is reminiscent of a bar, with loud music and the constant hum of conversations trying to rise above the music. The recent addition of green neon lights at the bar adds a trendy touch. For those seeking variety, Flanigans offers an impressive array of dishes, ranging from seafood and steaks to sandwiches and hamburgers. Our appetizers, the fish dip and firecracker shrimp, arrived promptly and were nothing short of delicious. The combination of flavors was a treat for our taste buds. When our waiter mentioned a special promotion on baby back ribs, our decision was easy. I opted for the baby back ribs with fries, and I must say, the meat was incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone. The generous drizzle of their delectable BBQ sauce elevated the dish to new heights. Portions at Flanigans are no joke - by the end of the night, we were delightfully stuffed and had no room left for dessert. The experience was truly fantastic, and we left with satisfied stomachs and the satisfaction of becoming regulars at this spot. As a bonus, the nearby liquor store allows you to take spirits home after the festivities are over. In summary, Flanigans Seafood Bar & Grille in Kendall is a must-visit for those in search of a lively late-night dining experience. The diverse menu, the energetic ambiance, and the friendly staff make this place a true gem. If you're prepared for a bit of noise, you'll be rewarded with memorable flavors and a great time. Highly recommended! read more

I frequent this restaurant at least once a month. The food and service are always great. Yesterday was my birthday. My family and I went to this Flanigans for my birthday dinner. We were seated right away and our assigned waiter was Preston. I would not be writing this review if it was not for him. Preston treated my family and I extremely well. He was one of the coolest, educated, charismatic, and attentive waiters I've ever had. We could just tell from the moment we sat at our table that he would make our dinner a lot better. Every time he came by our table, he was very helpful and brought positive energy. We got our food quickly and it was good. At the end of our meal, he told us that he will no longer be our waiter because there was a change in shifts. My mother quickly told him it was my birthday, and I was resisting to not tell him because I didn't want to make him do anything special for me; his service was already a special treat by itself. He told us he will be right back. He came back less than 5 minutes later and brought along a huge cake and his co-workers and they all sang happy birthday at our table. We thanked them and tried the chocolate fudge cake, and it was so damn good. We almost ate all of it. He came back a few minutes later to bring the check and to say goodbye. We read through the check and noticed he gave us a 10% discount on our entire bill and the cake was free - Preston had paid for it with his own money. We were blown away. How generous and cool is that? I've never seen or heard a waiter do that. We tipped him well and gave him a big thank you. He wished me a happy birthday and left. Now I'm here on Yelp to give him another thank you, and to (hopefully) convince his manager to promote him, because if there's anyone that deserves it, it's him. Thank you, Preston, for making my family and I have a good time. I hope you get promoted. read more

Noticing a pattern with all these "poor" reviews. I'm 41 and have been a customer since i was 10. Grew up in Fort Lauderdale near the Flanigan family. I have always been a fan of their food and ambiance Along with their great customer service. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT the company has now mutated into a machine that does not care much for the loyal customer and cares more about training their staff to be rude and obnoxious. A few weeks ago the incident we experienced had to do with a policy of we don't join tables or open sliding doors at Miami beach location (I didn't do much about it) TODAY the incident prompted a call to corporate. Silly me actually believed that i could top my food my way, nope- i was forced to eat it just the way they made it because they (lake worth v location) REFUSED to sell us a small garnish size portion of onions. I did not realize that Jimmy Flanigan would then refuse to take a call from a loyal guest about our experience. It's often common for businesses like United Airlines to not care much for their reputation but we all know where that leads once you beat up a patron, abuse pre-teens because of their clothing or kill a few pets. Flanigans is not exempt. They can create all the policies rules regulations and guest service decisions they want. once you create unhappy people over miniscule senseless situations, it's difficult to repair the damage. This posting was done after speaking with corporate executive assistant Virginia and having been hung up on during a conversation. The employee had been warned that our interest was to make sure that they were aware of our discontent over policies. Hanging up on someone gets you this and more. Thanks for being rude. Good luck read more

I absolutely love flanigans. But this location ruins it for me. I get the worst service everytime i come here. I usually come here after work, since its open late and well, the food deals are great not to mention delicious! Usually have to wait 20 mins before someone comes to take the order( even when its not busy)! When someone finally comes its always the same damn lady with an attitude and not even a smile or hello! She automatically says "do you know what you would like to order? " And So then I automatically wipe MY smile away and tell her yes. She then runs away. Food comes. Delicious. Missing sauces for the wings. Get up. Ask a random waiter to pls bring some ranch and blue cheese. Wait. Wings are getting cold. Get up. Ask another waiter for some damn sauces. Wait. Already 15 mins and still no sauce. ((Our waitress was lost somewhere in grinchville. )). Finally a lovely guy walks around asking hows everything, we cant wait till he comes to our table! Oh- nope. He skipped us too and went the other way. Anddd after asking everyone and anyone for some damn sauce, the grinch showed up and said is everything ok? Hmmm we just need some dipping sauces but it seems you might be out of ranch and blue cheese. As soon as she is about to check on that, an angel appeared with the sauces. Asked for a double shot of tequila and the check. I cant.stop.writing... Specifically asked cash and the rest on the card. She charged all on the card. Now, iknow everyone has their bad days and such. But this lady, is just a total mess. Not once, but twice shes served me, cold attitude, and not one bit of actual service. Id rather drive to biscayne location. Never fails there! Cheers to the grinch and the sauces! read more

Flanigans...and agains and agains and agains! I went for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I expected an Applebee's, Chili's level of quality but I was happily incorrect! HUGE portions, solid house sauces, good service and great deals! The ambience is very similar to Applebee's, and I do appreciate Applebee's don't get me wrong, but the food was better. I ordered the Chipotle chicken sandwich, which was cooked well; seasoning was carmelized, the chicken and the Chipotle sauce had a delicious smokey presence with a very mild kick. The fries are seasoned with a house salt seasoning that has a nice garlic flavor. Deals at every time of day make a nice meal affordable for the vast majority of customers; a feast that included cocktails and beers for 5 cost just under $70. I have since returned and was just as pleased as the first visit. Would've given it 5 stars but that high of a review I reserve for the best and although I very much enjoyed my experience, it still is a family style restaurant; so if you're looking for fine dining you won't be impressed. Otherwise I would highly recommend Flanigans! read more

Really nice place, decent menu, good portions, excellent tasting food, I tried a little off everyone's plate. I would recommend this place to anyone. I gave this great restaurant 3 stars because of having their little girl that seats you, tell me to make sure I wear my mask until my drink arrives. What? I politely ask what did you say? She repeated that. I was just shocked. Who made up this "NEW" "EXTRA" Rule for me to live by now? I've thought it was stupid as hell to wear a mask in the restaurant and then take it off when you set down? Dumb as crap! Is the air you breathe not going in and out of your lung whether standing up or setting down? Is anyone really really worried about catching the China Virus if they are going out to eat anyway? Especially going inside and setting down to eat inside a closed building with people they don't know. People stop complying with this stupid shit, what's next? Rectal temperature test? I'm sure some would submit. This isn't all I'm just tired of typing. I didn't wear my mask until our drinks came, wow what a weak protest I participated in, lol. read more

Well, I haven't had perfect ribs in so long, I've forgotten how there supposed to be preparred taste! I almost fell out of my chair! Succulent, tender and juicy goodness, just make ya wanna cry! Curly french fries, not soggy or greasy, coleslaw that would make your moma proud! Chicken wings and a sause preparred by the gods! Who prepares this sauce, who invented that sauce? Now I'm mad cause I'm back in New York and none of those flavors are here in fact nothing like this is here! Adult beverages, well I could just cry! If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up! Key Lime Pie, perfection overload! Just the way it should be, not too sweet or tart, just right! This experience has put me into planning a return trip, just to revisit Flanigans at the Hardy Street location! The service is unbelievable, professional, fast and personality to boot. Thank you for a memorable dining experience! read more

Worst possible customer service. My wife asked for a side of basil for her Italian meal and was refused because it wasn't part of the recipe. They put basil on other dishes and we would gladly pay an up charge but none of that mattered. The manager and the corporate office both stood behind this ridiculous policy. The corporate office replied to my email with " do not ask us to modify, substitute or alter our menu." If their recipes were that great, people wouldn't ask for changes. Also, they didn't have any problem leaving things off my meal. Wasn't that an alteration? I asked if they would alter their recipes to accommodate allergies. Their answer was the same. read more

I'd give zero stars if i could. Worst Flanigans location there is. Management consists of inept cucks that will do NOTHING for you. Apparently the customer is never right here no matter how much they are disrespected. I hope that "manager" can figure out a way to get his money up so he can stop being a salty little bitch working at a bar smelling like french fries.. keep wiping those tables down boy. Food is complete shit and service is worst of the worst. read more

We had to wait for a table because of covid, but its the only place to eat in surfside and since its on the beach, we didnt mind. Love the seascape atmosphere, all the fish nautical nic nacs and photos. Makes it fun a place to eat you have so much to look at. The food is higher quality than most franchise eateries. Loved the burger, tastes like real meat. The loaded baked potato was perfect. My man had the ribs and loved them. Will come back. read more

The venue has a nice seaport-style vibe, and the staff is very friendly. The prices are also more than reasonable. One thing I liked is that when you order a pitcher, you receive some complimentary side dishes, which is a nice touch. The food was okay overall. We ordered the chicken dishes, which might be why they didn't stand out as much. We didn't get to try the seafood, which might be the better choice here. read more

As a visiting tourist, although the food was very good, the service and staff were horrible! They moved in slow motion, it took 16 minutes alone just to get 2 waters, a Sprite and 2 beers! Our order was not taken for almost 20 minutes after sitting down, no silverware was offered, no napkins and in the end, I should have told the Manager to buy half our lunch! read more

To be honest, Since years I'm always looking for a Hotel in the vicinity of Flanigan's. Being a guy from Germany I have never seen a place like this before. Great Music, friendly staff and the best food you can get for money! I love the ribs, the blackened Salmon, the Caesars Salad and and and... Give it a try!!! read more

It was my husband and I's first time and was such a great experience. Our host Denise cleaned our table herself so we wouldn't have to wait. Never had a host go above and beyond the way she did and we loved her. Our server was great as well and the food was delicious. Had a great time. read more

I'm very happy to find this place for the happy hour, many locals visit this place which it makes it more attractive to me, the real deal, great prices and the chicken wings are EXCEPTIONAL never had any one like it. Mike the bartender really on point, great service. read more

I've gone a few times. And they serve large portions of food that will leave you full and wanting to take the rest home. I usually get the Bahama Burger and it always tastes good. The dessert is also very good. I got the bonzai brownie I think and it tasted amazing. read more

The service was AWFUL! I asked for butter and sour cream from TWO different people and waited over 10 minutes. Then we waited over 10 minutes to receive our check and another 10 minutes to get the change from our check. Food was good but service sucks! read more
