"Fantastic venue for a party! Amy was easy to work with and the price was so much better than other venues!"
"I hadn't been here in a LONG time. But that will definitely change! The Walleye was AMAZING!! Our server was so nice and pleasant. We will definitely be back very soon!!"
"Food is below average in my opinion. You really never know what to expect. Had the cod several times here and sometimes it's good and sometimes......I've had frozen fish that was better. Fries are flavorless and limp, party potatoes always taste sour and the prices are ridiculous. If I want to substitute a baked potato they want to charge $4.00 for it! Why can't you substitute a potato with another starch that already comes with a meal?"
"The fried fish was great, not a heavy breading. It's a cornmeal breading and wasn't greasy at all. It was all you can eat and it came out hot. We didn't care for the coleslaw but that's not the restaurant's fault, we just don't like celery seed. I had fries and didn't care for them but that's just my preference as they aren't crispy or seasoned. My mom got the party potatoes and she didn't love them but that again was just our preference on flavors. The next Friday I'm in town I'd definitely go back for the fish."
"After driving past for years we finally decided to pay a visit to The Flamingo. This restaurant is only open to the public for supper on Friday evenings. We went specifically for the fish fry dinners. If you are looking for the taste of a midwest fish fry, this is it. Being an event center, first and foremost, the tables are large and round. You can sit a large party of at least eight at one table, but groups of two and four are still given their own. There is some bar seating further back. This restaurant sees the early bird crowd, so keep that in mind when deciding how early or late you want to eat. My Alaskan walleye dinner was cooked with the light crispy breading I was looking for. These dinners are served with sides, mine gave coleslaw and a choice of potato. I really liked that the party potatoes were tangy with a vinegar taste. My husband got the full rack of ribs, which also tasted great. The wait staff was very friendly and they all worked together to clean up. I was so impressed when I saw them clear a large full table in less than a minute. Overall I will keep coming back. The menu has enough variety to try more, but is small enough to make the decision easy. If you want a low key dinner on a Friday night, give The Flamingo a go."
