Thanks for the compliments Dave, much appreciated!

Our breakfast is not our specialty, really lunch is our thing, we offer the breakfast because so many requested it and we figured we offer an economical and not too fancy choices. Our bacon is very simple, nothing fancy... we have sausage also and andouilled sausage for breakfast which is very tasty and very meaty...hope you try it.... see you soon!

flip flop's grill = addiction. Yummy! Having worked in the f&b biz for a long time, I notice the things which aren't working for a restaurant. For some reason, when I go to flip flop's, I get too distracted by the tasty cheeseburgers to notice if something else isn't working.

One flipflopper has admitted up front that he doesn't have f&b experience (the other flip-flopper has a bit), but he is obviously learning everyday, and seems to be doing very well at the restaurant biz. I've seen experienced owners in biz for more than 3 years, who haven't learned as much as one of the flip-floppers has in his limited five months. With the Flip-Floppers running Flip Flops, I have a feeling that they are going to do very well in the biz. Both of them have the right smiles and the right attitude to make it work. I've been bragging on the Cheeseburger and the onion rings and Chipotle Mayo, but to be fair, the two flipfloppers running the place seem to be as great as the food, if not better. If you are lucky, you might get to see that precious smile on that youngest little flipflopper. Her eyes will suck you right into a world of joy, where you forget everything else, except that for the moment, life seems special.

What SJ said, and more.

Rebecca and Shea are friendly folks who are making a serious go at it. They had the guts to open in the off season. They've worked to improve the food, expanded the hours, and soon we'll get live music.

I've had the shrimp po-boy, the burger, the chili dog, and the shrimp burrito. All good. :clap:

Everything SJ said, although I don't think I've ever met restaurant owners who took seriously the comments and suggestions of customers. That seems to be a winning idea in and of itself.

I am scared of getting sucked into the votex of being a regular, but I have eaten there a few times. It's just one of those things when you know good things and people at your first encounter. There are a few salads on the menu, but I'm a sucker for a cheeseburger. I will try to keep my cheeseburgers in a moderate level of consumption. I do need to try their milkshakes, though. Thomas Donuts is holding off on ordering new ice-cream until the season rolls around, and I need a place to get a good milkshake in the winter, on occasion. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a tasty shake.

Get it early, sometimes the ice cream runs out. I doubt that'll be a problem during spring when they are in full swing.
