Always wonderful food and the staff sets the standard for all other restaurants. If I was forced to say something negative it would be try at they don’t have enough seating

What great food! We had the Jabroni burger, mac & cheese, cheese balls, onion rings, 2 build a burgers, 2 kid drinks and 2 adult sodas. I did a 15% tip because there isn't table service. Our total bill was $79 & some change. Everyone loved their food & it's a fun atmosphere. The only downfall is the seating is limited and options for bigger groups doesn't really exist. Super friendly staff and our food came out fast

Vegetarian options: I saw a vegan hot dog on the menu.

Dietary restrictions: I did not see any gluten free options but there was an option for no bun.

Parking: There is a lot cattywompas across the street, otherwise street parking.

Kid-friendliness: My young kids loved watching the wrestling on tv.

Busy Saturday afternoon stop. The burger was a smash burger style, bun was soft and coated with sesame seeds, and we shared fries and cheese curds. The fries had a nice crispy batter and taste. Cheese curds were a bit bland and could have used more seasonings. Burger was a 9, fries were an 8 and cheese curds were a 6. Will definitely be back again!!

We did a bulk order of pulled pork for a small gathering, and it was amazing! I'm a newbie to The Flying Elbow, and I definitely will be back!

This was my first time there. I had the tombstone burger and it was delicious! Spicy enough for me but not too spicy. The beef tasted amazing even on it's own. All the toppings were distributed evenly, it was basically the best burger I've ever had. Very glad I stopped by. And I had a cherry cordial hard cider, which was also very good. It reminded me of the way a bag of halloween candy smells. Almost nostalgic. The staff was also friendly so that's a plus. Overall, everything was great.

Update: a couple yrs later, everything is still great. Tombstone burger tastes as good as ever, staff is still friendly as ever. Yeah it was an expensive burger, but its 2024, what can you expect? Its worth it to not be let down over a horrible $7 burger from a fast food place. I'll pay the extra $5 and get a much better experience, and MUCH higher quality food.
