Stopped in after a day of exploring New Orleans. The outdoor patio was spacious and Cynthia R was a wonderful waitress. Enjoyed the Thursday drink specials. Bought a tank top and Ashley P. Went above and beyond to find the shirt and size I requested. Great place.

Came for brunch, ordered and old fashion to drink and Eggs Flamingo. Old fashion had no bitters, chunks of oranges and soda water on top. That is not an old fashion. Food was small in portion, grits were dry and did not taste like smoked Gouda cheese. Egg yolks were broken and whites over fried. Asked for Hollindaise sauce instead of the sauce it comes with. Never got the hollindaise sauce, other sauce was soupy and runny. Extremely disappointed. Server was sweet though.

The food here was good. I really enjoyed the brussels sprouts, the corn with them really made them delicious. We went during happy hour to try some of their frozen drinks but unfortunately all of the frozen machines were down except for margarita but that one didn't qualify under happy hour so that was a bit disappointing.

Terrible Terrible service, excessive wait for food and then the food was awful, six different plates and all were very disappointing. This place needs a restaurant rescue.

I visited this restaurant while on vacation with friends for the weekend. The ambiance is very colorful, picturesque, and flamingo themed! However, our server wasn't the most friendly or attentive and it took a while for our food to come out :( Pepper Jack Boudin Bombers 10/10: they were so flavorful! Crispy on the outside and well seasoned/soft on the inside. The jalapeño ranch added to the flavor. I would only come back for these lol. Smoked Gouda Corn Grits and Gulf Shrimp 7/10: the shrimp had a great savory flavor, topped with tomatoes and corn. The sauce on top was tomato based but, not in an overpowering type of way lol. The grits looked like they were instant and had no gouda taste. Gumbo 6/10: Coming to NOLA I was excited to try authentic gumbo. It wasn't bad but I was a little disappointed, I've had better in my home state. It definitely needed some salt.

We arrived early for our reservation but, we were seating immediately. No one came to our table the first 15 minutes we were there. The service was very slow but, it seemed our waitress had a 10 top inside and we were seated at the far end of the patio. It really wasn't fair to the waitress. Overall, I'd visit again. I loved the huge patio, the music, and the onion soup. Our waitress was super kind, too.

The service at this restaurant was the worst I've come across in New Orleans. It took over 30 minutes to get our drinks, and we gave up waiting on the second drinks we ordered after around 40 minutes and left, the servers were nowhere to be seen and weren't particularly apologetic. The food was fine but nothing special, probbaly below average for the city. There are so many good places to eat in NOLA, don't waste your time here.

The atmosphere is cool. The service was as good as to be expected since it was Saturday during lunch. One thing we tried to order they were already out of @ 1p. The food on the other hand was meh. The shrimp were definitely not fresh local gulf shrimp..they were small and rubber like and not cooked long enough...most likely frozen Sysco food.
Love flamingo. Everything was great with the exception of being stuck by the front door that was open, and it was in the 40s outside. They did finally close the door and move us to a table not directly in front of the door. They had a table of women who were clearly intoxicated and being loud and obnoxious, but I know there's not much they can do about that. Just go in prepared for it be extremely loud

The staff were extremely understanding and mostly friendly!! The size of my party changed and we also had to accommodate a baby and our waitress handled it perfectly and quickly. The food was amazing! Recommend the garlic parm chicken appetizer and the cinnamon toast shot! They're a little pricey but it's definitely worth it for the food you get!
Our waiter and the person he was training (Spencer and Carly) were great! They were patient, friendly, and fun. It was our first visit there so we looked over the menu for a bit. Got Brussel Sprouts, shrimp poboy, and a breakfast sandwich. We shared food and it was all amazing. Chose this place because we had a gift card but will definitely be back!
We were sat on patio, and no one came to greet us. We waited for over 25 minutes, and our presence was not acknowledged. We attempted to just order at the bar, but there was a long line & we noticed a significant sewer odor inside. We left and went elsewhere.
Ran out of champagne after we ordered bottomless mimosas. Had to wait at least 15 min between each drinks. Restaurant wasn't very busy but the service was very poor. Had to get up and go inside to pay because we didn't see our waitress for half an hour. I have gone to this restaurant many times in the past and my experience has never been this bad. Not sure if they were understaffed, but disappointed with my overall experience.

They were severely understaffed but kept seating tables. We got there very early when barely anyone was there. A lady took our order and then we literally never saw her again. Our food came out after an hour and 20 minutes of waiting. We had a tour to catch so we barely ate and then left. Food was ok but not worth the $120 bill for 4 lunches.

So we were in town for the Christmas holiday. My wife and I come to New Orleans quite a bit. My wife heard about Flamingo a go go and we really were looking forward to going we made a reservation for Christmas day. On the website it made it look like there were only a few slots available so we took 5 . When got there no body was there. No big deal on that but misleading. Anyway the service was still slow but again no big deal. The food was okay bur while we were waiting for our waitress to come back with my credit card . A large rat yes a RAT probably 10 to 12 inches long ran under our table . Freaked my wife out. Of course who wouldn't. Anyway believe it or not it gets worse. So the manager comes by I call him over and tell him a large rat basically ran over my wife's foot stop and then ran under a door. He tells us we can't get rid of them here there everywhere. Nor surprise not I'm so sorry bur there EVERYWHERE.! Needless to say we left are doggy bag and will never go back again. We come to New Orleans three or four times a year and eat out all over town. I have never seen a rat.run through a dining room
