Flying Burger — Restaurant in Magnolia

We were staying at the hotel across the street, in town from Southern Louisiana for business. We are big on reviews and decided to look over reviews on Google rather than our usual, we were optimistic about trying this restaurant. Definitely disappointed. The young lady behind the counter seemed so friendly to the lady in front of us, so we were quite surprised that her pleasant disposition very visibly disappeared when we stepped forward. I have my speculations on what she may have not liked just looking at us, but I'll leave that out of this review. Our food was fresh, I can say that, but that's about it. The fried catfish still had the fishy 'belly', since there was apparently no seasoning in the fry that was the only thing you could taste; and I actually have a low salt threshold compared to many southerners. The shrimp also had zero flavor. My husband was glad he asked that his grilled catfish be made spicy because, while it looked great, the flavor it had was barely there. He did say the greens were fine, would probably have asked for rice if there was a next time. The next evening we decided to just stop in and try some of the cinnamon rolls we read about in a few reviews, final disappointment and the trigger to this review. Ours definitely didn't look like the reviews we saw and smelled like they were warmed straight out of a package. Sadly they also tasted as processed as they smelled. Hopefully others received something other than we did. Because of where they are situated they do not have to worry about customers, and it shows in their lack...

I was in town to visit family and got invited to the flying burger for lunch. My husband and I were so excited to try this place. The service was fine and the burgers were amazing. So great that we drove 38 minutes back to Magnolia two days later to try something different on the menu. It was a nice drive and we had pretty high hopes for our second visit, unfortunately they did not deliver.

We came back for a “poor boy” and it missed the mark, big time. I wish the shrimp could’ve been fried like shrimp and tasted more like shrimp. It was fried in what tasted like fish fry, it even looked like fish and I only had about 4 on the whole sandwich.

The wings were great, and I don’t think you can really mess up a salad, the po-boy however was disappointing. The burger and fries from our first visit saved this review. I think the menu is a little too extensive, maybe focusing on one cuisine is better that trying to specialize in everything.

Whenever I’m back in the area and have a taste for a great burger, I’ll be back. From my experience the fries can be hit or miss. Great one day and not two days later. I hope to catch them on a good day next time I’m...

We walked in at 7:50, they close at 9. They were sweeping towards our table. Dirt was flying everywhere. The bacon cheese fries were nasty , not slated and the cheese was out of a cold can. The squash and zucchini, it was grilled but had zero seasoning. The shrimp tacos? The shrimp was burnt but the tossed on a LOT of sauce to cover it up but you can't cover burnt. At 8:15 with half the place filled with customers they started cleaning the soda machine so you couldn't get a drink.

It was our first and last time. We spent $60 for 2 people and it was horrible. As soon as I started recording her sweeping the dirt at us she put a chair in the way and stopped. It wasn't a small stroke clean... she was long stroke, making that dirt fly up and big stuff was hitting our feet. I understand cleaning under a table after a messy custom (kids, my kids at times) but small strokes and things don't fly up or hit folks trying to eat.

In the video you see my desperate attemp to add flavor to the squash. At this time we were putting it into Togo containers we fed to stray animals that didn't even...
