I had the absolute pleasure of discovering a fantastic seafood destination in Ruston today, and I am utterly impressed. If you are seeking truly fresh, top-tier cuisine, Flying Burger is a complete standout. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior decor is executed to perfection bright, inviting, and impeccably maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Upon arrival, I had the delight of chatting directly with the wonderfully friendly cashier, who also happens to be involved with the culinary side of things. That level of personal, attentive hospitality is always something I greatly appreciate. For lunch, I selected the fresh salmon, along with a few of their exceptional side choices and a delightful ice cream to round off the meal. When the salmon arrived at the table, it was magnificent cooked flawlessly, incredibly fresh, and bursting with exquisite flavor. Every single element on the plate was top quality. I cannot recommend this establishment enough for anyone who appreciates genuinely fresh, beautifully prepared food. A flawless five-star experience I will most certainly be returning! read more

This is a great smash burger place. It's got late hours which worked great for our basketball schedule, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a goat cheese burger which was delicious, and the fries are soooo good! read more

Order at the front. They give you a buzzer when the food is ready. Sit yourself. So easy and quick to order I ordered the burger meal with cheese. With fries and a drink Fries were fresh and crispy. Burger was thin and not very good. You taste more of the bun and vegetables then the actual meat. A little overpriced at 18 dollars. Food is ok, price is a little much. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was friendly and the food was well seasoned and cooked well.

Everything i have ever gotten here has been delicious! We went as a family of 6 and everyone was able to find something they love. Fry's were hot, burgers were juicy. read more

Outstanding food for a trip stop while on the road with the family. We will stop in again.

Should you find yourself crossing North Louisiana along I20, do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a diner setting along a butcher shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No matter what your choice of entree, I had the burger which was smashed to perfection with their homemade remoulade sauce, choose the fresh made onion rings as your side, you won't be disappointed. Order at the counter and had my meal in under two minutes. read more

Burgers were great!! Fast service the real deal would recommend will be back. Fries are good

I am a fan of The Flying Burger. I need to start taking suggestions from people at work more often. I ate better on this most recent trip than I ever have when in North LA. Flying Burger is a diner-style restaurant that advertises no freezers. That's right, meat is ground fresh in house and never frozen. The menu has burgers, sandwiches, seafood, and more. I opted for a burger and some cheese fries because sometimes you need to go hard on the carbs, right? The burger was very good for a fried type burger. While not my favorite type of patty, adding two of them made for a solid burger. The burger was dressed well but eventually fell apart after adding mayo, mustard, and ketchup. I had to finish it with a fork and knife. The fries were awesome. They appeared to be hand cut with the skin on which is my favorite The cheese was liquid but not gross like most nacho-style cheese. One of my favorite things about this place was the vats of hand-pumped sauces you could get. This included remoulade, ranch, and tartar. A vat of remoulade is always a positive. If you find yourself in Ruston, you should probably come here. read more

These folks were so kind to let us put in an order to go for 5 people 10 minutes before they closed. They took good care of us. The burgers were pretty good. The catfish was mediocre. The hush puppies were REALLY good. Glad we got to try this local culinary delight back at out Airbnb. read more

Flying Burger - Seafood Near Me - Ruston, Louisiana

The Best Burger Place On Earth. Fantastic!!! Fresh ground beef, high quality, seafood options too. Will hit up again when next in town.

The food here was good. I had a cheeseburger and catfish, both items were seasoned well. The server was excellent. I hate I don't remember her name but she did have dark hair and glasses. I will be returning to try other dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]4 stars only because the vibe was a little Republican lol, otherwise it was good[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

The food is delicious and fresh! They greet you like they have known you forever! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and inviting![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will be back! read more

Flying Burger - Cheeseburger and onion rings! - Seafood Near Me - Ruston, Louisiana

The food is great; honestly, I love it. The only problem is the price. Yes, you get drinks and a side dish, but that still amounts to 20 dollars, including tax. The service was quick and easy; I had no trouble ordering my food. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice diner feeling here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered Grilled Salmon salad. At $25 I was hoping for more than a fast food kind of meal. Salmon requested medium. Great job!! Perfect salmon. Rarely do I receive salmon cooked properly but this was excellent. I'll be back next time I'm in Ruston. read more

Delicious and affordable! Customer service was impeccable! We definitely eat there again and again!

Our kids love this place! We love the fresh food, fast service, and a menu that pleases everyone! Burgers, chicken strips, catfish, and shrimp covers everyone at our house. I love the shrimp kabob. It has peppers, onions, and huge mushrooms. It may have had some squash or zucchini as well It's a fantastic value and is so good! I like the rice and black beans that are served with it. Fries are hand cut and served in large portions. Burgers are huge, well seasoned, and I'm pretty sure the meat is ground fresh in each location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area has a diner type decor and is huge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It easily accommodated larger groups, but get there early! It's a popular place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks are self serve-coke products, but also Diet DP Our family of 6 gets everything they want for under $100-that's with two kids eating the kids menu. They love the little boats that come with the kids meal. That's a pretty good deal for seafood! read more

The service here is always excellent. The food is good! I always get catfish fillets, fries, hush puppies, and recently a chicken strip. All tastes delicious! There's something different this restaurant does with their french fries versus other restaurants. The fries aren't salty. They're a light brownish color. Either they're cooked in a dark oil or the potato skin is left on. read more

All the food was on point. Real catfish and catfish flava in every bite; not over seasoned. Onion rings and French fries we complimenting. My son had the chicken sandwich, he said it was good. He tore me a piece of chicken off and it was moist. If I am in this area again it is a definite yes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would love to take this establishment, franchisee it in California; would put a lot of places out of business with fresh, fast, and simple ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had grilled catfish tacos on Sunday in Ruston and then had the same thing on Thursday in El Dorado, AR. The comparison was remarkably different. The meal in El Dorado was fresh and flavorful. The meal in Ruston was completely not and didn't taste at all the same. If I was owner of this franchise, I'd check to see if your restaurant in Ruston is using the franchise food because the El Dorado location is way better. The food is that different. read more

Very nice staff. Gumbo had great flavor, but was a bit salty. Split the 5 piece catfish plate with my husband. Fish was great. Hush puppies wonderful with corn instead of tons of onions. Fries were hand cut. They were ok in flavor, but wish they had been crispier read more

Excellent customer service. You get your moneys worth and the burgers melt in your mouth. We highly recommend.

Clean restaurant with quick service and friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. The fish is always great! The hamburger steak is a bit weak. Thin hamburger did not reflect the meat in the case. Wish it came with mashed potatoes instead of fries. The meat case has beautiful steaks, but that doesn't seem to be on the menu or at least I didn't find it. I am sure that every restaurant is having trouble cooling down in the heat wave. Maybe you could add fans to move the air until the heat breaks. read more

We were welcomed in by happy employees as we walked in the door. My table had gumbo, shrimp po-boy and hamburger steak basket. All of us left full and happy. Restrooms were clean & the staff was just awesome. I loved having so many sauces to dip my hand-cut fries: ranch, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce and remoulade. Wish I had room for one of those cinnamon rolls or some ice cream. Also- they had little boats for their kids meals. I think any kid would love that! read more

Went here last week. Very cute decor and wonderful service. I basically built my own basket and shockingly they adapted to my unconventional choices love the hush puppies. A great place to go when college is out for the summer! read more

The food is mediocre and is sadly overpriced. The atmosphere is decent, and clean. There isn't much service. You order your food at the counter. You seat yourself and have to go to the counter to get your food. read more

Awesome find in Louisiana. Stopped near here for the night. Fast food fresh and hand made. If you are near here, stop. read more

Big menu and you can't go wrong with any of it. Pulled off here on a long road trip and it was well worth it, super clean and super good and fresh. read more

Apparently there is not a lot of competition in Ruston (I've never seen a town with so few 4 or more star resteraunts--and literally no good pizza options), but Flying Burger would do well in any city. Solid burger and great home made fries. Friendly staff. Quick service. Had a cinnamon roll for dessert (fresh made daily). There's really no need to look anywhere else. I read the reviews for a number of places in Ruston, and this one lives up to its 4-star rating and then some. read more

Ruston, Louisiana Painfully slow service. No Louisiana restaurant should serve Gumbeaux this bad, this is what I would expect to be served in Wisconsin, not Louisiana. Shrimp salad very average. Burger was so so. read more

I've been going to FB for years. Went last night and pulled out my credit card to pay and ws told its a dollar to use the credit card. What? I hadn't ever been told tht before in the last 3 years I've been going there. I hope it's not some shady stuff going on there. My burger was not good. Something about their buns could be improved. read more

Great stop on a Roadtrip adventure. Was intrigued by the case of fresh meat, which happens to be the way they prepare all of their food FRESH. The shrimp were from the golf of Mexico and had such an amazing flavor, onion rings weren't traditional more like think onion strips but extremely good made with real onions. The burgers are made in store and the flavor says it all. Too bad I'll probably never be back in this part of town, but if I am I would definitely come back! Great food, great service (Employees were awesome). read more

This is my first review ever and let me just say this. I'm originally from New York, live in LA and been all around the world. This little spot in homer, Louisiana, is home to the best burger I've ever had. Let me reiterate that. THE BEST BURGER IVE EVER HAD. And shoutout to the staff. They are so kind, so generous, they talk to you and care about your food. They take pride in their stuff, and that's just something you don't find everywhere. 5 stars isn't enough, I came here for a quick bite and left with a Michelin 3 star experience. You will not be disappointed read more

The burgers are sooo good and the fries and the ranch. It is kind of expensive though and they are not quick. BUT sooo yummy if you want to treat yourself! read more
