Employee turn over's speak volume. Brunch here is really good, but I've ordered fried chicken here twice and both times the cook has missed the mark with flavor. No taste at all. Its fried well but taste nope! You should also be ashamed of yourself charging $8 for cornbread. Its literally one medium size slice, sliced 4 ways. I believe in supporting my people, but my people must listen.

First time visiting Flamingo baby , I must say , I'm pleasantly surprised , I love good food and found it with Google . The reviews online got me hooked . The food was great, everything we ordered was excellent no complaints. I especially love the banana baby French toast with jerk chicken and the Sorrell w Gin. My better half enjoyed your Ackee / plantains. Thank you , service was great 👍.

The food was great but the service sucked. This place is really small and would probably benefit from taking reservations instead of walk in only. Telling ppl they need to wait outside in the middle of November is crazy… our food came out before our drinks. And the two waitress weren’t very friendly.

My goddaughter took me out for brunch to Flamingo Baby. The wait time was 1 hour, which we knew it would be a little wait because the restaurant is so small, it looks like only 20 people can fit inside.
The hostess/waitree/bartender called us to say our table was ready. Our order took about 20 to 25 minutes which wasnt bad because we ordered biscuits, drinks and was conversating.
I ordered fried catfish and grits. My goddaughter ordered fried chicken, yams and mac. The food was delicious!! Compliments to the chef!
I ordered a coffee. They had no sugar substitutes to offer a diabetic. No Equal, No Splenda. My coffee was not hot. For $5, i wasnt asked would i like a refill. As a matter of fact we were never asked how we were doing, was everything okay.
Our waitress was okay. She really didnt jave nuch personality. I told her it was my first time there and i thought about ordering the catfish, did she recommend it? She said You want the strips or filet? My question went over her head. The customer service i wasnt feeling. It was like, sit, take your order, eat and get out we have people waiting.
I think they should enclose the outside deck to make more space because when its cold who wants to eat outside. The only reason I would eat there again is because the dood was great but i would do take out because i dont work hard all week to go out and spend money for not so good customer service.

The service was pleasant.
In no world would I ever order takeout from here again. The wait is entirely too long! I ordered Oxtails at 12:08pm. I was told it’d be a 25 min wait and the only other people in the restaurant at the time were leaving. I didn’t receive my food until 12:47pm and the rice was hard and crunchy. For the final result to be what it was, this spot was a total waste of time and money.
Responding to your response. I was offered Jasmine rice over rice and peas 5 min before I received my full order, so relax. I def voiced my opinion when I was there. I came online because the wait was ridiculous and I should’ve read the comments before visiting your establishment.
You opened at 10am and I ordered at 12:08pm. The rice shoulda been done.
I didn’t walk in upset at all. I didn’t even mention not being able to order over the phone until the wait for quoted at 25min. I also started my review by saying the service was pleasant.

Find time for this place. The service personnel showed skill beyond any restaurant I've visited. The vibe is excellent, with spotless space and minimal decor. Food speaks itself. flamingoBABY Kitchen represents the ideal intimate eatery.

My sister took me here for my birthday today, the food was great. Waitress was unprofessional and not friendly at all. For the prices you have at this resturant yall should have better waitresses with better attitudes here. I would love to come back only if I don't get the same waitress. The funny part was she was not even cute at all she should stay humble at all times.

I went to FlamingoBABY for brunch. To start they do not take reservations and the place is quite small but they do have outside seating as well. The hostess took our names and number down to call once a table was ready but we told her we would be sitting right out front since they had seats there. We waited an hour before I had to follow up with her on the status of us being seated. She went on to say that she came outside and called my name which I let her know she did not because we are literally sitting right in the front. She was able to get us a table within 5 minutes but I was already annoyed and hungry. Once seated, I ordered the ackee & salt fish as an appetizer, which were really good but all of our food took so long to come back out. For the entrée, I got the buttermilk pancakes, which were delicious. Crispy edges but still nice and fluffy. I also ordered turkey sausage, which had a hair in it, so I sent them back. We waited about 15 minutes for our drinks, 20 minutes for the appetizers and 30 minutes for our entrees. And by the time the waitress came back out with my turkey sausage, I was basically done with my pancakes. That's how long it took for them to bring me fresh sausages.
I would love to go there again because the food was actually good but the wait time to be seated and to get our food makes me think twice.
Due to how small the place is, they should consider accepting reservations.

I have tried to have lunch at this restaurant four times but each time I’ve gone it has been closed. I made sure to check the website prior to going to make sure I was going on a day it listed as open, yet it was closed again today. I was eager to try the food since it has great reviews but unfortunately I’m done trying.
I had the pleasure of trying Flamingobaby yesterday. The food was really good, although not being able to order anything extra after you put your order in is a little disappointing. Our experience with our waitress (Shenice) was not a welcoming one. She made a margarita for my friend, which basically tasted like artificial flavored water. We expressed to her, not liking the drink and got nothing but attitude because of it and she didn’t even bother to offer to take it off the bill. She did give us another drink, but refused to make another margarita which again was a bit offsetting and disappointing. This was not good customer service by any means and would deter me from coming there again because of this.
