McFlamingo — Restaurant in Florida

My daughter picked out this spot today. Super excited to find a great healthy option. Audrey and another guy helped us order.

My daughter ordered a fish n pickle which is a salmon sandwich (no pickles) possible pickled onion? And just to give you a heads up, there are no sides included. You would have to add that on. I ordered the Salmon Blueberry Salad half lettuce and half quinoa. It was good.

I feel like there could have been something elevated in the food but to be honest with you it was great for a late lunch and it checked off what we needed.

The review is more based on the feeling of being in the restaurant.... We went from a table to the bar top so that we could see how everything worked given it was our first time. Usually the cooks and staff will mingle with you or ask you how your food is or something and we got nothing. I know this seems extra and probably will get a little bit of heat from this but going that extra mile especially with somebody who's new really could bring in a repeat customer.

There were some soggy bun pieces left which is standard but nothing was acknowledged. The only person who acknowledged anything was Audrey. I do appreciate you. You did a great job and thank you for putting a smile on your face when...

Before going to any restaurants, I always check their menu so I’ll know what to order. McFlamingo’s price range was a bit intimidating, but fear not, they are worth it!

Place was empty when we came in but we see the staff were pretty busy with orders for pick up. I read from the reviews that the salad bowl is huge so I asked the lady which has a bigger serving, the salad or the rice bowls. She said they both have the same size of bowls but the rice bowls, specifically the chicken and Broccoli has a bigger portion. And so we ordered it, plus Chicken Pickles.

Let me just say that the Chicken and Broccoli seems like a simple dish but I was blown away by the flavors! The ginger sauce reminded me of the Hiananese chicken ginger sauce! They have almost the exact flavor! But instead of the steamed or poached chicken, McFlamingo serves grilled chicken and they tasted well together! The ginger sauce is just soo good! Just that and the rice and I’ll be happy lol.

We also enjoyed the sandwich! It consists of grilled chicken breast with mayo, lettuce, pickled green tomato, red tomato, and red onions. Delish!!!

Do yourself a favor and go to McFlamingo!...

Seed oils, and multiple meats that made me sick. I try to give these places a shot and support local businesses, I spent thousands here guaranteed over time. Unfortunately the owner is a very aggressive person who responds in a nasty manner to reviews. You’re in the wrong industry for somebody who does not want any feedback. I continually supported this place with my family and friends. But seed oils??? Come on wake up and smell the coffee, that’s asking for all kinds of health issues. You present yourself as a clean establishment that uses high quality ingredients which is why you must charge extra, anybody with a brain can understand that’s how that works. Now I am finding out you are using farmed raised salmon and vegetables that aren’t organic along with toxic seed oils!! I am sure you are saving a lot of money using seed oils while you make the community sick. I hope you do the right thing and get your business in line to actually have healthy options with no car lubricant. You be ashamed of yourself and the way you speak to the people who put food on your table by supporting your business. Knowledge is...
