okay, this thread has reminded me that I am craving a flip flop burger and fries. and now I must try the onion rings too!

yes, there are a few good burgers in the area, but until Flip Flops, none were unique or special in any way. this new burger in town is going places...
did you say biscuits and gravy for breakfast?:drool:

The Nola folks will descend on you for that. :floor:Seriously though they are kind of like a pastry that is rolled so that when dropped in hot fat it puffs up, they are then dusted in powdered sugar. Yummy! Gator also serves them at Blue Orleans.

I had a sample today at flip flops after another wonderful burger. Gators are authentic beignets and very good. Flip flops are tasty but are biscuit dough I was told by the chef. Real beignets like Gators remind me of funnel cake.

I ventured up to Seagrove today and had lunch at Flip Flops. I must say that I was impressed. Tried the burger and it was wonderful. What I liked best was the owners. They are very nice. They took time to have a conversation and made me feel welcome. Trying the chili dog next. :clap:

I had my first flip flop burger today and it was worthy. I ordered it with everything - it arrived a perfect medium / medium rare, dressed with chopped lettuce (very good to keep the tomato from sliding off), pickle, decent January tomato, cheddar cheese, mustard and seasoned mayonnaise. I took it to go, so sadly the fries were cold by the time I got back to the office but they were still good. At 12:45 on a January day, the place was hopping! It was clear that there were many of the customers were repeats. Just imagine how busy they will be when the tourists are here in force!

Flip flops - thank you for filling a strong need for reasonably priced, casual, good food on 30A. I'll be back! :wub:

Gator's (place) a.k.a. Blue Orleans is located in Blue Mountain Beach. Can't miss it, North side of 30A in a "blue" building between the old Nick's and the 30A Liquor Store.

uh, swgb, I know wtf a beignet is!!! I could live on beignets and cafe au lait. and I've never really had one outside of NO that was truly worthy.

I just didn't know that my new favorite place serves beignets! lord help! my thighs! my thighs! If I know Shea and Rebecca, they will be serving a good one and I'm ready to try it!

Just wanted to thank everyone for coming into Flip-Flops. We will keep doing our best! A note on our Beignets... they are actually, what is called in Louisiana, a POOR MANS BEIGNET... my mother used to make them every morning. Its a fried biscuit and they are quite tasty with powedered sugar! We were going to call them beach biscuits or pough-nuts...but decided to just call them beignets... sorry for the confusion...come in and try them out!

Thanks,

Flip Flops

We finally made it to Flip Flops. . . .I LOVED the gorgonzola burger. We all had one and it really was fantastic. The onion rings weren't my thing. But I'll be back for the burger -- Maybe with a side salad next time. (You need something to balance all the fat grams in the burger!) My son also got a milkshake and it was YUMMY!

Oh okay, I didn't realize it was a sarcasm thing. :blush:

Take fat grams divide by 2 and put, now, equal parts on either side. This keeps you balanced so as to not fall over. :biggrin:

lunch at flips today!!!!!!!!!! we arrived about 1:45 (they close at 2) and the place was totally packed. not a single table inside to be had, but we found one (barely) outside.

get this. they were out of burgers!!! :eek::yikes::eek::shock::yikes::yikes:and I guess this is a good sign - the business is great at flips! even though sowal is dead as a doornail these days. they were so jammed up with locals, and Shea was back there cooking like a crazy person. so I guess I just have to go back for my burger another day very soon.

meanwhile, I was "forced" to try the chilie-cheese dog - very delicious! loved the onion rings too. a delicious chocolate shake rounded off a really great lunch. my boys enjoyed bean burrito, shrimp, fries. all good. better than good.

very good comfort food, served outdoors, on a beautiful winter day in sowal. what more could we ask for? okay, a hamburger. but, other than that...

You're gonna hate me. We got there just before you and got one of the last ones. And it sure was good.

:pissed:

no, that's okay, because I was forced to try the chilie dog, which I would never do as long as they had burgers. it was really really good!

but I still want a burger. gotta go back, like tomorrow.:wave:
