Flying Mango is a restaurant that offers a fantastic atmosphere and great service. The menu features a range of dishes, including ribs, brisket, shrimp creole, and pulled pork, all of which are smoked to perfection. The sides, such as creole mashed potatoes and corn bread, are highly praised, and the crispy garlic bread adds a nice crunch to the meal. The homemade sauces provide extra flavor to the dishes. Customers have enjoyed the brisket, calling it one of the best in the area, and have praised the generous portions and friendly staff. The owner, Mike, is known for checking in on guests and creating a welcoming environment that feels like dining at a friend's home. The restaurant also offers a unique dessert, the Red Hots Apple pie, and a gluten-free cheesecake made in-house. Recent reviews highlight immaculate food, top-notch service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Flying Mango remains a hidden gem for those seeking a delicious meal and a good time.
