"First time going back in about 2-3 years (didn't like my first experience). This time was alot better. Alot of fried seafood options. Beware- they do not devein their shrimp, so if that bothers you, I suggest ordering something withoutshrimp. Location: right off the main highway, next to burger King. Large parking lot. Atmosphere: spacious, smells good, cajunmusic playing. Seemed clean. It used to be a Ryan's so it has a similar layout. Table seating and bar seating. Good for casualfamily dinner, date, or friends. Comfortable. Food: good variety but mostly fried. Shrimp (boiled and fried), fish, oysters(charbroiled, fried), crawfish (seasonal), alligator, poboys, loaded potatoes, gumbo, fries, salads, coleslaw, boudin balls,etc. I ordered their medium shrimp and liked it. It was breaded and fried and it came with way more than expected- about 20+shrimp. Prices: everything is pretty close to $12-25 for dinner items depending on what you get. For 2 people at dinner: mediumshrimp w fries, 4 boudin balls, fish strips w fries and 2 soft drinks it was $45. I do think their crawfish is way too expensive($7/lb in February 2022 where other local crawfish stops are closer to $5.50-6.00/lb). Service: Very friendly, comfortable andmade sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a good experience. We will return."

"The service at this restaurant is extremely slow. We waited for an hour to receive slightly warm, not hot, food that wasn't fresh. It was not worth the wait and I will not be returning. There were many people waiting by the door and I wanted to express that it was not worth waiting for. The wait staff tried their best and kept my coffee topped up, but it seems like the issue lies with the kitchen. They need a good manager, as well as hiring signs and higher standards. Additionally, the ketchup bottle at our table was empty. In terms of kid-friendliness, there were a lot of people with children in high chairs."

"**Restaurant Review** **Meal Type:** Dinner **Price Range:** $100+ **Food Rating:** 2/5 **Service Rating:** 2/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 2/5 I recently dined at this restaurant, and unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The overall experience was disappointing. The food lacked flavor and creativity, earning it a low rating. Service was similarly lacking; the staff seemed inattentive and slow to respond. The atmosphere was uninviting and felt dull, which further detracted from the experience. Overall, it was not worth the high price point. I wouldn't recommend dining here."

"It starts with the smiles from the staff and from there...breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's the kinda place where people discuss, gossip, or just have a simple breakfast. It's as American as any small-town, USA. Breakfast is sized as the cooks, in the back, work to make sure the hundreds of orders of eggs are cooked to order. Breakfast for dinner? Burger for breakfast? It's here. From Nicole, Laura, Danielle, et al...each waitress works very hard. If you happen to stop in and you get great service then good tips go a long way for the hard work. I haven't seen a meal I didn't enjoy there."

"Food is reasonably fresh but bland and mediocre. You can do worse but La Taqueria Mexicana on Pine St has MUCH better food for comparable prices. The real problem is that the management at El Flamingo is slimy and dishonest. When we placed a takeout order by phone, they took advantage of the fact that we were ordering from an old menu to deliberately misunderstand the order we were trying to place in order to charge us significantly more money for less food. Then when I tried to sort out the misunderstanding as I was picking up the order, they refused to fix it, argued with me rudely, and pretended to be bad at English in order to stonewall me. We won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend that anyone eat there. But if you decide to do so, be very careful, pay attention to exactly what they are ticketing you for, and make sure to have them confirm each item and the price they are charging you. Otherwise you run the risk of being stolen from through deliberate overcharging. This is not the first time we have dealt with questionable and shady behavior from the management here, either. This incident is just the most egregious and blatant, and the final straw for us."
