I have been to this location many times and ironically enough, I'm not a huge fan of chains. Flanigans is always consistent, the food is always fresh and the staff has got the process down pat. This location tends to have great management although Flanigans is known for cycling them from restaurant to restaurant from what I've seen. Food wise, I'm a big fan of the Joes steakhouse soup, it's their signature soup and available every day, very good! Meals wise, I believe they have one of the best local burgers you can get your hands on! The big daddy burger is a delicious hand made, never frozen pattie cooked to perfection and the side options are great too! I've had the NY strip, prime rib, ribs, wings and I've never been un satisfied. Their coleslaw is delicious and they also have a nice bar ambiance with music, outdoor seating and a pretty good happy hour! All in all, Flanigans just gets it, their people, process and products are a fine tuned machine and I appreciate establishments like that!

Great place to eat if your in Weston fl. We were down here for a week and went twice. They have great appetizers, ribs chicken and burgers. You can dine in our dine out on the covered patio overlooking the water with plenty of wildlife to watch.

A typical Flanigans menu with what you would expect. Outdoor deck is great. However, the place is starting to show its age. As another reviewer noted, it now comes off as dark and dingy. Knowing this was an acquisition for the chain many years ago, some investment really needs to be made in sprucing the place up. This is Weston, not an old east Hollywood bar. Even the outdoor area is showing signs of needing a remodel. I will compliment management that they do aim to take care of customers, but it seems many of their seasoned staff have left over the past several years. The impact is felt from the second you walk in the door.

This Flanigans location has great service! Our server was Geoff. He was patient, punctual and helpful. All around great service. Our food came out correct and cooked perfectly. From stepping into the door to stepping out it was an overall good experience. I highly recommend!

Few weeks ago I went to Flannigan to eat with families member that came to visit and the manager and the bartender refuse to accommodate my request to add cheese to my french fries there were going to Put cheese on my nachos and my potato skin, but refuse to put it on my fries and would not make a exception, so we left and will never go there again, I guess they don't really need the business

Where do I even begin, ah yes... *sighs* Flanigan's has so much potential to be something great. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted with a warm welcome. Put our names on the list and sat to wait for about 15 mins. The place seemed pretty busy so we were expecting to wait but nope! As we sat down at our table my sister and I heard the manager yelling and bossing orders at the employees but we disregarded and continued conversation. Then it happened again and again and again. He was running around like a wild maniac handing plates to servers and aggressively telling them a table and to "HUSTLE." The whole place felt like chaos in the kitchen and between the staff. Yes it was orderly. Yes it was very efficient. And yes it was speedy but the loud orders being yelled to staff and the constant "HUSTLE" going on around us was EXTREMELY distracting to our dining experience. Also, the food was under-seasoned and very average. Will not be returning. Cheers.

One of my favorite of the Flanigan's locations and the first one I ever ate at. This place has been my go to spot for lunch for years now. 5.99 lunch specials (with purchase of a beverage). The lunch specials you buy can earn stamps for your Lunch Club Card, where you buy 9 lunches and the 10th is free. Great place for decent fresh seafood, and most locations are similar to the others, but this one is my fave.

Terrible Paid my check, went home and 15 min later the police were at my door accusing me of not paying the check. The waitress messed up and and misplaced the receipt. I had my receipt, the police had to clear up the mess. Very embarrassing, plus the food was bad.

Pleasantly surprised for neighborhood fare. The prime rib was really very impressive, even compared to very nice steak houses. The baked potato was still fresh at 9:30 and I got a side salad which was super good with bacon bits. I thought the $1.99 price for the side salad was extremely reasonable and not the norm for such a good quality salad.

We had eaten at one of these before but I forgot to write a review. I went here yesterday (not the same one) and the food, service and prices were still the same, excellent. They had a Shrimp special and happy hour, great offers. The ribs I got were ok (not the best but the meat was tender) but the shrimp was very good. Tons of curly q fries - large portions all around. Everyone enjoyed their meal and $2.00 draft Yuengling! I will go back, there was 6 of us and they took care of us!

Dear #Flanigans, I'm very sorry. I deviated from our Friday night ritual of dinner at your restaurant with my family and the neighbors from across the street. I thought we should try something new so I dragged us all to a Brazilian meat place that looked good on the internet. My bad. Compared to Flanigans, we over-paid, under-ate, and were poorly served. I missed your awesome ribs, really, really great drinks and homey south florida atmosphere. See you Friday.

Pretty consistent. Good food and good prices. Great drink prices too! I like the Caribbean burger and the cheesesteak Sammy, stickers and wings. Want healthy food? Blackened tuna cooked rare with veggies. Blackened tuna hoagie is awesome too, not healthy though lol.

Crystal S.
I was so excited to eat here, but ended up truly disappointed. I got dolphin, and not only was it not very good but my order was incorrect. I asked the server if I they had blackened and she somewhat returned her answer with attitude, like that was not what I ordered. Service was speedy, and the atmosphere is nice but the food was just bland, unfortunately. I really would to have had my food cooked the way I wanted, but I didn't want to be a bother after the nasty attitude I received for asking if they had blackening seasoning, since that's what I ordered. But anyways enough of the fret.. We were staying at a local hotel and there was a coupon for 10% off, so that was nice, but that was about it!

It's been years since I have been to a Flanigans. Throughout the years I have been to quite a few locations and the food has always been decent. I guess with so many other options around, Flanigans has stayed under my radar. I have to admit I really enjoyed my dinner and was pleasantly surprised at just how good the food was. My sister and I stopped in for a quick dinner on Saturday night. We got to the restaurant at about 6:30ish. We gave the hostess our name and we were asked if we wanted to dine inside or at an outside table. It was sort of chilly so we said we would wait for an inside table to become available. We were told the wait should only be about fifteen minutes or so. Within a few minutes we were escorted to our table. My sister and I decided to share an appetizer and a burger. For our app we shared the Smoked Fish Dip. The dip tasted very fresh and had a spicy kick to it. I loved it. It came with carrots, saltines and fresh-made tortilla chips. My sister asked for jalapeno peppers on the side. I thought the serving was rather large considering it was only $5.99. It was full of flavor, very fresh and not overly dressed. I could see myself going back and ordering this as my meal. For our main dish we shared the Bahama Burger without the bun. Priced at only $8.29 the 10 oz. charbroiled burger was delicious. It was perfectly cooked and nice and juicy. This was just a simple burger without cheese or any crazy toppings. The burger came with lettuce, tomato and a pickle. For our side we chose the curly fries. This is where I am holding back the 5th star. The fries were heavily salted and not cooked enough to make them crispy. Next time I will ask them to make the fries well done and see if they can prepare them with less salt. The burger is a winner in my book. Our server was good and I thought the prices were very fair. It's time to add Flanigans to my list of favorite casual restaurants.

Dingy. Not appealing. Had a chicken Cesar salad and the chicken was just a little too "chewy" on the brink of being not cooked thoroughly. When we told the girl that we were concerned about the temp of the chicken she told us that's how they cooked their chicken and they serve it on the chewy side. Yeah no thank you. Won't be back for chewy chicken.

Came for New Years Eve and it was pretty busy. Flanigans gives out free food for ordering a pitcher; today, we received wings with the pitcher. The food is different depending on the day (nachos on mondays, etc.) The mild wings were delicious, a lot better than what I expected actually. We also ordered the garlic rolls, nachos, and ribs. The portion for the nachos is HUGE, I have never seen such a big pile of nachos before! The ribs were great, very soft and the bbq sauce was adequately sweet. Overall, Flanigans seems great for a casual lunch/dinner with friends or family. Lots of TVs around the halls if you are interested in watching sports games. I know they also have happy hour so will probably be back for that in the future ;)

You can never go wrong with this Flanigan's. The food is always amazing and it comes out super fast. The drinks are great. We come here at least once every other week. It's our go to spot!

Went here for a date night with the Husband. How disappointing! He has referenced numerous times in the weeks following how much of a disappointment it was! Our waitress was very interested in the table of 8+ young guys than she was attending to her other tables. Her service was less than to be desired. We started out with drinks, diet coke & crown plus a margarita. I make better at home & I have never had bartending experience. We reminded our waitress twice that she had yet to bring them to the table. Getting water from her during the meal was a joke. Our food was average of a chain restaurant, nothing to cheer about. The seating outside by the lake is great & sets a great scene/mood. Too bad your staff couldn't carry the experience through for us. Disappointed.

Lissete D.
Typical Flanigan's except that I like the restaurant layout of this one better than most. We usually start with the Tumbleweed onions which I love. Flanigan's is THE place for ribs and you can never go wrong with that. Joe's Meal Deals are great and my husband and I usually share a full rack deal. Their Philly cheesesteak is yum too. Service is usually friendly but their timing sucks. The tumbleweed came out and then exactly 2 minutes later so did the salad, rolls AND the ribs! Seriously? So our ribs and fries got cold while we had our salad. I'll love their ribs, so I'll continue going. Not only to this one, but others as well!

This place has a haunted vibe to it, dark and dingy like its never been cleaned before. Very sour faced and old bartenders, Debbie and Louie both look like the most miserable people in the world.. I don't blame them, I would hate my life also if I was 50 and still working in the service industry. The chicken is so greasy and cold, so i tried to flavor it but the BBQ sauce they offer is terrible, like a sweet vinegar water?! I would rather dine in a dumpster than return here and be forced to watch the staff shuffle around slowly while they contemplate their life decisions. Save yourself the horrible experience and keep driving past.

I just paid my bill and I have to say that this place is so worth it! The food is basically generic, but the service is great! The drink specials are untouchable. I'm an appetizer and cocktails kind of gal and I love the simplicity and affordability. Never go wrong here.

We just called to place an order for delivery and Alexandra told us that they were not taking orders for the next 20 minutes. We patiently waited as we are regulars there (now that changed to WERE). We called back in 20 minutes and were told to call back in 20 more minutes. Flanigans need to understand that we-customers have options. I guess they don't need customers to continue their operation. Oh well, we are taking our money somewhere else. Maybe another business will benefit from ours. Definitely not going back there again.

Diego C.
Amazing. The service was excellent and the food was even better. I went late at night with a couple friends and the food still tasted fresh. I recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a great sports bar. The food servings were definitely worth the price as well.

Jose C.
What in the hell is wrong with these customer service girls? When we arrived to the rest, they asked us to wait a couple of minutes but two minutes later they were calling other parties arriving later. When My wife complained she was told to wait 20 minutes, at least!!! We left the restaurant and one of those girls said: have a nice day, while smiling (or insulting) instead of finding a solution. Is this discrimination?

Best Flanagan, great atmosphere and the fish is cooked right every time. Love the tuna steak, fire cracker shrimp. Bartenders are great I sit at the bar when my kids are not with me and the service the best, I enjoy their mojitos and nachos.

Went here today and while the food was good. The waitress was very unattentive and we felt very rushed as the main meals came out 2 mins after our salads which we were all still eating. So with all the food on the table it was hard to maneuver cuz of the lack of space. Not sure if I will go back to this location.

I have been coming here for over15 years and I have never had a bad experience. The food is on point and the staff is always friendly and willing to please. Managers ALWAYS come to our table to ask how everything was. My only complaint is that they need more craft beer. They only have fat tire and what ever sam seasonal there is. Please get more craft beer!!! We love you but we're forced to drink good beer with bad service at Duffy's. Side note: if you want liquor they have a full bar.

The best Flanigas hands down. Sitting al fresco is great! They have ceiling fans! If you have lived in Miami or anywhere is South Florida, then you must have either seen, ate or drank at this icon of South Florida. With its nautical themed restaurant/grill/bar it brings in all the charm of Miami and her great seafood gastronomical creations. I have been to a few Flanigans in South Florida and the one in Weston is by far the best that I have dinned at. Not to loud, not to quite, happy people at the bar, families, and couples enjoying the deck behind the restaurant. Just a wonderful and happy place to dine or spend a couple of hours nursing a beer. Go ahead and try it you'll like trust me.

I like this location because it's way out in Weston and it's very unlikely that hoodlums would come out here. The service is friendly and the restaurant seems clean. I do think they should update and change their dessert menu which is pretty boring.

Always feel comfortable and can bring my family as a great consistent restaurant. Food is good and good management staff. Thought known as a bar, is be only Flanigans I know with a playground, which is great for my 4 year old. Get there early on weekends or you will wait. It's the go to spot when we need to get a quick bite in a nice relax atmosphere. Oh, and good happy hour too!!!! Great steam clams.... And very reasonable pricing.

Definitely a notch above Chilis and Fridays. But nothing is particularly interesting, innovative or healthful about their menu. Flanigans has been around forever. Nothing much has changed. If you want a 2000 calorie serving of nachos this is a great place. Beer? They have all that too. But for dinner there are so many other better places to eat.

Great local joint. I like to sit at the bar and have two orders of steamers with a side of garlic rolls. Be sure you share the rolls, because there is a lot of garlic. Death by chocolate desert will put you into a coma, it is so good! Great bar staff, good pours, and all super friendly. Not sure why I didn't give them 5 stars, but only my wife gets that rating.

This review is for take out service: Inconsiderate service: missing ketchup, mayo, napkin, utensil, list goes on. I guess take out means you just take out food, and they don't give you anything beyond that!? Food quality: meh, but they were HUGE. If you are hungry and couldn't tell difference between cardboard and real meal, dine here.

Usually stop by for a happy hour or work function when we have them on the patio area. Nice view outside, and if the weather is good, highly recommend sitting outside. Other than that, its your typical Flannigans in terms of food, pricing, etc.

I would rate zero stars but it wouldn't let me. Tried ordering a dinner salad but with only romaine lettuce (offered to pay for the change) and I was told no. I then asked to order the Caesar salad but wanted to pay to add red onions, peperoncini peppers... The waitress comes back and said that I can't order two salads. Are you serious? I left the restaurant because at this point I'm so annoyed. I called to speak to the manager and the hostess told me to call back or leave a message... Mind you as I walked out I saw the manager standing at the front desk. Horrible customer service. BTW I've ordered the same salad at other locations without a problem. Needless to say I'm never going back.

This is one of our traditional spots we hit while we are in Weston, Florida on vacation. We always eat there at least one night while down there. The food is consistent. The ribs are very good. The chick stickers are excellent as they are made from fresh chicken tenderloin and not processed chicken. The best thing on the menu in my opinion are the fresh garlic rolls they serve. They are to die for. Very good, very messy, but very tasty. We also like the onion strings that they have as well as the different fish they serve. Overall, if you are looking for a good place to eat while on vacation and you are NOT looking for a fine dinning establishment, but looking for good solid food, then Flanigans is the place for you. Good food, decent service and offers discounts if you stay at the local resorts. Highly recommend it. They also have two copies of the Super Bowl trophies that the Dolphins won back in the day.

Their fish deep is good. This place used to be one of the first sport bars in Weston; however, through the years its lost some of its quality. Its due for a renovation, the place is a little dated and dark.

Pros: *Fantastic service.... This was my first time at the restaurant, and the waitress did a great job of guiding me through the menu and helping me make an excellent selection (ribs). *Breadth of menu... There is something for everyone here, including burgers, grilled fish, ribs, and chicken. *Atmosphere... If you like a place that is busy, noisy, and energetic, then this is the place. I was surprised at the number of seniors dining next to families with children and guys out on the town; this place has a very eclectic crowd, and food seems to be the common denominator. *Sports TV... There are no shortages of screens in this place, and not just in the bar. The entire restaurant is wired up, so you won't miss your game (unless it's rugby, maybe). Cons: *Compared to another corporate-style seafood mill, Bonefish, I think the food here is not as well prepared and far more unhealthy. There is not a lot of grilled fish to choose from. They serve plates of biscuit-style "garlic rolls" that are sitting in melted butter with garlic... Tasty, yes, but you won't make it past age 60 eating like that! *Noise... It was a plus for me, as I was looking for some crowded energy the night I went, but I can see this being a turnoff if you are looking from something a bit calmer and more relaxing. Overall, I give this four stars because of the exceptional service and broad menu. There is something for everyone here, and the atmosphere is sure to entertain out-of-town company. If I could grade the food itself separately, I would give it only three stars, as it is tasty and properly cooked, but seriously unhealthy.

Good service, great food, awesome atmosphere, and nice patio seating. But you better get here early. I have been coming here for years and everything stays consistent. Great place to grab a beer and burger for lunch or to bring a date for a casual diner. Great selection on the menu from salads and burgers to fish and steak entrees. All fresh and served to order. The nautical theme is throughout the restaurant and feels especially authentic out on the patio next to the lake. Just missing the seagulls and passing boats. Prices are fair, a good value for your buck. I will be back. Meet you on the patio for a beer. Cheers

We finally ate at the Flanigan's in Weston The food was good. Our server was not. SWMBO and I went with two children for an early after-church lunch. I think our server, Richard, doesn't like parties with children. If he does, he needs to adjust his demeanor. At any rate, his inattentive and somewhat dismissive service resulted in a 14 percent tip and it was almost a 9% tip when my wife considered only giving him the change that came back from the payment. She couldn't bring herself to do that. You see, we normally tip VERY well for just regular good service. Like 25%. If you are a star, you do even better. I've been in the biz for 30 years. I am on the servers side. Not this one though. When our little three-year-old didn't care for her lemonade, my wife asked if she could just have a water. We didn't ask for the lemonade to be taken off the bill. We just wanted her to have something she would drink. The disgusted look and snatch of the cup off the table was uncalled for. We asked nicely. When I received my bloody mary, it was in a 6 oz rocks glass. Kind of a surprise on a Sunday when you figure on those drinks being in at least a highball or Collins glass. Now, I had been told the drinks were half price at the time. Really not a big special if it's just half size though, right? Richard asked if I wanted spicy or not. I asked for medium spicy. He asked what vodka I wanted. I asked if they had Tanquery and he told me Tanqueray is gin. I told him they also have vodka, but if they didn't have it I would take Absolut. Again, this guy needs to work on his expressions. he had a look like I was full of shit. Anyway, the mary was vodka and tomato juice on the rocks with MAYBE a drop of tobasco and a cocktail straw. Am I wrong in thinking that I should have maybe a celery stalk, some celery salt on the rim or an olive impaled on a toothpick sword here? What a sad drink. Not even a wedge of lime. When he came back around, I didn't say a word about the drink. I just asked if I could please have a glass of water (6 oz of beverage was not going to cut it and I was not ordering another cocktail after this) and a wedge of lime. !) MINUTES later, I had to ask someone else to bring it. Bad waiter... very bad. But the food was great. I had the Smoked Fish Dip. It was wonderfully mild and smoky and was served with fresh tortilla chips, some packaged crackers and celery and carrot sticks. NOW I had celery for my pissant drink. LOL My wife had Stuffed Potato Skins that were very good. Molly had a mini corndog platter with fries which she couldn't finish, so I had a few. they were nice and crispy and had a wonderful savory sweet corn batter. Burt had chicken wings and mac and cheese. the mac was REALLY cheesy and the wings looked a little overdone, but Burt was raving that they were the way a friend of his makes them and he was a fan. We eat at Quarterdecks all the time, and we have seen this place here and kept saying we would try it. The place is clean and well appointed. The food was very good. If we come again, we will just be sure Richard doesn't wait on us.

Good atmosphere, like a marine dive bar / restaurant mix. Sharks, fish tanks, cool vibe. The food is tasty, and it's right on the lake. Patio is real cool. Bar seems good, and we did have to wait for a few minutes to be seated, but the place accommodates big parties too so no big deal. Good local spot.

Sorry, I'm a couple months late on this review. But I had to write one about this place....one word Awesome Lunch specials are super....good food at a very fair price and excellent service. Stopped in here about 5 times even brought my parent once and they loved it. Happy hours here will make you very happy. Check out their menu on line...

I used to come here a lot to drink with my friends at the bar. Last time I was there, we got a table and got drinks and appetizers, I ordered a vodka tonic. The waitress brought out what seemed to be plain tonic water, no vodka, no lime, no ice, no stirring straw. SO i called over the waitress and informed her of their mistake, she referred me to the manager who was the rudest woman I've ever encountered at a restaurant. She was arguing with me, and finally brought out a shot of vodka and a lime out to my table so I could "make my drink myself"... never coming back here again... the bar food is alright, the drinks are cheap, but their service and fish sucks big time.

This reminds me of being a kid and going to those huge chain restaurants that are for parents who want to take their kids somewhere they won't be too big of a bother. It smells extremely good as you walk in...That sweet smell of barbecuing ribs is intoxicating. But the grubby inside just leaves me feeling dirty and uncomfortable. That's one thing that turns me off - the feeling that the place can just never be clean. The atmosphere inside is just too closed in, but they do have a very nice fish tank. The waiter was really nice - he knew his stuff. I had the Tuna Steak Sandwich and it was really really salty. It seemed like they accidentally dropped it into a salty brine. Then the tuna wasn't really rare (the way I ordered it). You know it's bad when I DON'T take anything home afterwards. I have to say their fries are delicious, so that's what my dinner was mostly comprised of. My boyfriend got the half rack of ribs with chicken planks (tenders...whatever) with fries and he loved everything but the chicken. It wasn't seasoned and the chickens texture wasn't good....But he loved the ribs and fries. He loves their bbq sauce too. I do have to agree, the fact that the rib meat falls off the bone is very impressive. But for me, I just can't get to liking the flavor of the sauce. But I'm very picky when it comes to my bbq - cause it's not my favorite food, but I gave the place a 3 cause my boyfriend liked it, and the ribs are good - if you like their bbq sauce...

As far as chain restaurants go, Flanigan's is one that I can keep coming back to. Particularly, the Weston location is my favorite. I can count on my burger coming out medium rare when I ask for it that way. I have not had the same luck at other locations. (in particular, Hallandale, last week, which consisted of an over-cooked burger and mediocre srevice). Service at the Weston location is better as well. Love that Texas burger.

Don't know why it was so popular and packed... I asked for seafood restaurant recommendation at the hotel I was staying at, and Flanigans was the closest of all the places he suggested, so decided to go one night. I was absolutely packed! With lots and lots of people waiting! My husband was too hungry to be waiting for 45 minutes to an hour, so we just found something close by (turned out not great, but that's another story). We left Flanigans unfed the first time, and since it was so busy, we thought it must be good, so returned on another day. This time, we were seated within 10 minutes or so. I wasn't too hungry, so I had the clam chowder and something else that wasn't really memorable. Overall, the food wasn't that good... Not sure why people seemed so crazy about that place.

Dear Flanigan's of Weston, Being one of the closer restos to the hospital, we found ourselves here a couple of times needing to grab something to eat. You are a rather large location, nicely set up with a big center bar, great outside seating area & bar, and spacious indoors. I've sat both indoors and out, and depending on one's mood, either area is just right to be in. The outdoors overlooks a nice lake and fountain and has a great breeze due to that. You also have tons of TVs outside (and in) so that no one ever misses a game! Also, outside there is a great kids' area, with a jungle gym for their entertainment. Nice touch! Your service is really good overall, and I've never experienced slow service or a bad server. The food here is cooked very well and I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. Here, we've tried the dolphin fingers (crispy and delicious), Philly Cheese-steak (pretty good, with mushrooms, onions, and cheese), ribs (they're the pride and joy of all Flanigan's - here they were perfect!), fries, tumbleweed onions, and the shrimp scampi, which has to be one of my favorite dishes by far. The shrimp were a tad chewy, I will say, but mixed with the pasta and the butter-garlic sauce, they were really tasty. A great place to for dinner, drinks, and sports spectating! Thanks for the good meals, SabrinaAnna*

Flanigan's is not a fancy place and I wouldn't necessarily say it's the best if you're looking for a place to watch a game, but I am addicted to their garlic rolls and philly cheesesteak. Those things are the sole reason that I have been going back for the past 10 years (since I was in high school). To be honest, I have not ventured off to try anything there besides my favorites, a burger and dessert so I can't speak to the entire menu but I haven't heard anyone complain either so I think that's a good sign. Service has always been good and it's nice if you can sit by the fish tank or on the patio by the water.

Clams were good. Patio is nice. The rest of the food was bland.

Yea, as I write this review, I'm the Duke of this Flanigans. Wanna fight about it? Ok, so now that I've gotten the show-off portion of this review out of the way, I would like to say that this is my favorite Flanigans ever! Can you tell? Let me explain, not only are there many bars, but there are many Flanigans locations too! Don't get me wrong, this is not my favorite bar ever (though fairly close), but it is definitely my favorite Flanigans. Let me put it this way, I live in Broward and PRACTICALLY live in Miami (Work), yet I choose to come to this one. The staff here is great, they easily remember you after you go a couple of times (we usually sit at the outside bar). The fact that there's an OUTSIDE bar is great and not found in all locations, specially with a nice man-made lake view! What more can you ask for!??!? I don't know if I should talk about this, but, but, but, I love rib rolls. Yea, I know, most of you have had it, but I don't care because I want to talk about it. Rib rolls are made of rib meat that I don't care to know how it came out of the bone, put in a delicious eggroll style pastry. Then, it's served with ranch dressing. Then, you die and go to heaven. Look, at least that's how I remember it. Believe it or not, the 5 stars are not because of the rib rolls. Seriously. I could have done a review on rib rolls in another Flanigans and said the same thing. Like I said, I spend most of my time in Miami and never think of going to Flanigans. It's just the whole atmosphere, especially when watching the Heat game outside while having a pitcher that most of the time comes with something free and legally having a cigarette less than 100 feet away from someting edible. Yea, unfortunately I smoke cigarettes. Wanna fight about it? ;-)

Best service I have had in Weston thus far on this trip. Perhaps it was Christmas, but Sam was always there to give us what we needed without being bothersome. As far as appetizers go, the Tumbleweed Onions were on point. Thin, crispy and pilled high. All for under 5 bucks. Bargain! Of course, I had to try the ribs and got some shrimp to go along with it. The ribs were definitely fall off the bone. The sauce was competent. Not the best ribs I have ever had, but certainly ribs that hit the spot and that I would get again. The shrimp were exactly the same. The fries could have used a bit more flavor to them and this was even with honey mustard atop their curly selves. The whole meal was polished down with a brownie bonzai sundae, which while calorically challenged, did my mouth right. Fudgy brownie, ice cream, whipped cream, fudge, oreo pieces everywhere, and three kit kat bars. Yes, sir. Heaven! Apparently though this place gets really busy during the week around 7 to 9. So come early or come late.

He, he...Where do you think all the ladies tennis players hang out after our matches??? Flannies!!! You can't beat their 4.99 special lunches and their pitchers of beer. Great drinks and we love to sit at the bar because we get quick service. We basically eat there every day. Awesome burgers, great blackened fish, dolphin fingers and perfect for kids :) They have a big table by the play area and kids can eat there without a problem, when their are done, they go to the game area to play air hockey and pack man so we can have another diet coke ;) and of course kids eat and play under our supervision ;)

This is not a review on the food. I'm sure the food would have been good if I had been given a table. On my birthday I went here because I had previous experiences that were good. But I was skipped after waiting for 45 mins. Lisa the hostess skipped my name. Then a second hostess told me I had to wait an additional 45 mins. I was hungry. The manager told me that she "moved" me to the other list. The hostess skipped my name and moved it once I asked to speak with the manager. I have had wonderful experiences here so if you go please make sure you follow your name and make sure it is called. Besides that enjoy. Jose P

You either love Flanigan's or you hate it. I happen to love it and their $4.99 lunch specials. The burgers are great and the Chicken Philly is the best thing on the menu. I've never had the ribs, but have only heard good things about them. Their mozzarella sticks and potato skins are great appetizers and for dessert, look no further than the Banzai brownie. There are a few downsides though...the decor is definitely geared towards the fishing fan (I happen to be one so it doesn't bother me), their drink specials are very lacking, and their TV's never seem to get upgraded. Those are very minor gripes and nothing that will keep me from coming back for more!

this is my personal opinion and only mine, this is for me the best burger and ribs place in Miami area. Ambiance is great, customer service is top notch and full of variety... good prices a s well

I have been to this location many times and ironically enough, I'm not a huge fan of chains. Flanigans is always consistent, the food is always fresh and the staff has got the process down pat. This location tends to have great management although Flanigans is known for cycling them from restaurant to restaurant from what I've seen. Food wise, I'm a big fan of the Joes steakhouse soup, it's their signature soup and available every day, very good! Meals wise, I believe they have one of the best local burgers you can get your hands on! The big daddy burger is a delicious hand made, never frozen pattie cooked to perfection and the side options are great too! I've had the NY strip, prime rib, ribs, wings and I've never been un satisfied. Their coleslaw is delicious and they also have a nice bar ambiance with music, outdoor seating and a pretty good happy hour! All in all, Flanigans just gets it, their people, process and products are a fine tuned machine and I appreciate establishments like that!
(4)Doug W.
Great place to eat if your in Weston fl. We were down here for a week and went twice. They have great appetizers, ribs chicken and burgers. You can dine in our dine out on the covered patio overlooking the water with plenty of wildlife to watch.
(4)Harold S.
Wow, huge portions of delicious food at ridiculously cheap prices. Lots of specials, huge menu,... excellent friendly service, I can't wait to come back!
(5)Fred M.
A typical Flanigans menu with what you would expect. Outdoor deck is great. However, the place is starting to show its age. As another reviewer noted, it now comes off as dark and dingy. Knowing this was an acquisition for the chain many years ago, some investment really needs to be made in sprucing the place up. This is Weston, not an old east Hollywood bar. Even the outdoor area is showing signs of needing a remodel. I will compliment management that they do aim to take care of customers, but it seems many of their seasoned staff have left over the past several years. The impact is felt from the second you walk in the door.
(3)Ericka L.
This Flanigans location has great service! Our server was Geoff. He was patient, punctual and helpful. All around great service. Our food came out correct and cooked perfectly. From stepping into the door to stepping out it was an overall good experience. I highly recommend!
(5)Karen A.
I haven't been here in a while but I don't know why because it was awesome! Our waitress, Ruth was the best and the food was delicious. Loved the ribs and fried shrimp yum!!!

Fantastic tuna and salmon dinner. Cooked to perfection. Fun place with good music. Sports on TV for the guys. No boredom. Coming back!!!!

Few weeks ago I went to Flannigan to eat with families member that came to visit and the manager and the bartender refuse to accommodate my request to add cheese to my french fries there were going to Put cheese on my nachos and my potato skin, but refuse to put it on my fries and would not make a exception, so we left and will never go there again, I guess they don't really need the business
(1)Taylor M.
Where do I even begin, ah yes... *sighs* Flanigan's has so much potential to be something great. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted with a warm welcome. Put our names on the list and sat to wait for about 15 mins. The place seemed pretty busy so we were expecting to wait but nope! As we sat down at our table my sister and I heard the manager yelling and bossing orders at the employees but we disregarded and continued conversation. Then it happened again and again and again. He was running around like a wild maniac handing plates to servers and aggressively telling them a table and to "HUSTLE." The whole place felt like chaos in the kitchen and between the staff. Yes it was orderly. Yes it was very efficient. And yes it was speedy but the loud orders being yelled to staff and the constant "HUSTLE" going on around us was EXTREMELY distracting to our dining experience. Also, the food was under-seasoned and very average. Will not be returning. Cheers.
(1)Denver E.
One of my favorite of the Flanigan's locations and the first one I ever ate at. This place has been my go to spot for lunch for years now. 5.99 lunch specials (with purchase of a beverage). The lunch specials you buy can earn stamps for your Lunch Club Card, where you buy 9 lunches and the 10th is free. Great place for decent fresh seafood, and most locations are similar to the others, but this one is my fave.
(4)Diana S.
Terrible Paid my check, went home and 15 min later the police were at my door accusing me of not paying the check. The waitress messed up and and misplaced the receipt. I had my receipt, the police had to clear up the mess. Very embarrassing, plus the food was bad.
(1)Tamara C.
Pleasantly surprised for neighborhood fare. The prime rib was really very impressive, even compared to very nice steak houses. The baked potato was still fresh at 9:30 and I got a side salad which was super good with bacon bits. I thought the $1.99 price for the side salad was extremely reasonable and not the norm for such a good quality salad.
(4)C N.
We had eaten at one of these before but I forgot to write a review. I went here yesterday (not the same one) and the food, service and prices were still the same, excellent. They had a Shrimp special and happy hour, great offers. The ribs I got were ok (not the best but the meat was tender) but the shrimp was very good. Tons of curly q fries - large portions all around. Everyone enjoyed their meal and $2.00 draft Yuengling! I will go back, there was 6 of us and they took care of us!
(4)Carl I.
Dear #Flanigans, I'm very sorry. I deviated from our Friday night ritual of dinner at your restaurant with my family and the neighbors from across the street. I thought we should try something new so I dragged us all to a Brazilian meat place that looked good on the internet. My bad. Compared to Flanigans, we over-paid, under-ate, and were poorly served. I missed your awesome ribs, really, really great drinks and homey south florida atmosphere. See you Friday.
(4)Michael A.
Great service. Get some hot professional bartenders behind the bar very much a corporate bat bland. Lifeless and sterile meh
(3)Jared H.
Pretty consistent. Good food and good prices. Great drink prices too! I like the Caribbean burger and the cheesesteak Sammy, stickers and wings. Want healthy food? Blackened tuna cooked rare with veggies. Blackened tuna hoagie is awesome too, not healthy though lol.
(5)Crystal S.
I was so excited to eat here, but ended up truly disappointed. I got dolphin, and not only was it not very good but my order was incorrect. I asked the server if I they had blackened and she somewhat returned her answer with attitude, like that was not what I ordered. Service was speedy, and the atmosphere is nice but the food was just bland, unfortunately. I really would to have had my food cooked the way I wanted, but I didn't want to be a bother after the nasty attitude I received for asking if they had blackening seasoning, since that's what I ordered. But anyways enough of the fret.. We were staying at a local hotel and there was a coupon for 10% off, so that was nice, but that was about it!
(2)Britt Z.
It's been years since I have been to a Flanigans. Throughout the years I have been to quite a few locations and the food has always been decent. I guess with so many other options around, Flanigans has stayed under my radar. I have to admit I really enjoyed my dinner and was pleasantly surprised at just how good the food was. My sister and I stopped in for a quick dinner on Saturday night. We got to the restaurant at about 6:30ish. We gave the hostess our name and we were asked if we wanted to dine inside or at an outside table. It was sort of chilly so we said we would wait for an inside table to become available. We were told the wait should only be about fifteen minutes or so. Within a few minutes we were escorted to our table. My sister and I decided to share an appetizer and a burger. For our app we shared the Smoked Fish Dip. The dip tasted very fresh and had a spicy kick to it. I loved it. It came with carrots, saltines and fresh-made tortilla chips. My sister asked for jalapeno peppers on the side. I thought the serving was rather large considering it was only $5.99. It was full of flavor, very fresh and not overly dressed. I could see myself going back and ordering this as my meal. For our main dish we shared the Bahama Burger without the bun. Priced at only $8.29 the 10 oz. charbroiled burger was delicious. It was perfectly cooked and nice and juicy. This was just a simple burger without cheese or any crazy toppings. The burger came with lettuce, tomato and a pickle. For our side we chose the curly fries. This is where I am holding back the 5th star. The fries were heavily salted and not cooked enough to make them crispy. Next time I will ask them to make the fries well done and see if they can prepare them with less salt. The burger is a winner in my book. Our server was good and I thought the prices were very fair. It's time to add Flanigans to my list of favorite casual restaurants.
(4)Ally C.
Dingy. Not appealing. Had a chicken Cesar salad and the chicken was just a little too "chewy" on the brink of being not cooked thoroughly. When we told the girl that we were concerned about the temp of the chicken she told us that's how they cooked their chicken and they serve it on the chewy side. Yeah no thank you. Won't be back for chewy chicken.
(1)Angela K.
Came for New Years Eve and it was pretty busy. Flanigans gives out free food for ordering a pitcher; today, we received wings with the pitcher. The food is different depending on the day (nachos on mondays, etc.) The mild wings were delicious, a lot better than what I expected actually. We also ordered the garlic rolls, nachos, and ribs. The portion for the nachos is HUGE, I have never seen such a big pile of nachos before! The ribs were great, very soft and the bbq sauce was adequately sweet. Overall, Flanigans seems great for a casual lunch/dinner with friends or family. Lots of TVs around the halls if you are interested in watching sports games. I know they also have happy hour so will probably be back for that in the future ;)
(4)Mara C.
You can never go wrong with this Flanigan's. The food is always amazing and it comes out super fast. The drinks are great. We come here at least once every other week. It's our go to spot!
(5)Amy D.
Went here for a date night with the Husband. How disappointing! He has referenced numerous times in the weeks following how much of a disappointment it was! Our waitress was very interested in the table of 8+ young guys than she was attending to her other tables. Her service was less than to be desired. We started out with drinks, diet coke & crown plus a margarita. I make better at home & I have never had bartending experience. We reminded our waitress twice that she had yet to bring them to the table. Getting water from her during the meal was a joke. Our food was average of a chain restaurant, nothing to cheer about. The seating outside by the lake is great & sets a great scene/mood. Too bad your staff couldn't carry the experience through for us. Disappointed.
(1)Lissete D.
Typical Flanigan's except that I like the restaurant layout of this one better than most. We usually start with the Tumbleweed onions which I love. Flanigan's is THE place for ribs and you can never go wrong with that. Joe's Meal Deals are great and my husband and I usually share a full rack deal. Their Philly cheesesteak is yum too. Service is usually friendly but their timing sucks. The tumbleweed came out and then exactly 2 minutes later so did the salad, rolls AND the ribs! Seriously? So our ribs and fries got cold while we had our salad. I'll love their ribs, so I'll continue going. Not only to this one, but others as well!
(3)Joseph R.
This place has a haunted vibe to it, dark and dingy like its never been cleaned before. Very sour faced and old bartenders, Debbie and Louie both look like the most miserable people in the world.. I don't blame them, I would hate my life also if I was 50 and still working in the service industry. The chicken is so greasy and cold, so i tried to flavor it but the BBQ sauce they offer is terrible, like a sweet vinegar water?! I would rather dine in a dumpster than return here and be forced to watch the staff shuffle around slowly while they contemplate their life decisions. Save yourself the horrible experience and keep driving past.
(1)Janna F.
I just paid my bill and I have to say that this place is so worth it! The food is basically generic, but the service is great! The drink specials are untouchable. I'm an appetizer and cocktails kind of gal and I love the simplicity and affordability. Never go wrong here.
(4)Luis H.
Love this place. Food is always good. Service is great. I gave it 5 stars but it deserves 10.
(5)Niki F.
We just called to place an order for delivery and Alexandra told us that they were not taking orders for the next 20 minutes. We patiently waited as we are regulars there (now that changed to WERE). We called back in 20 minutes and were told to call back in 20 more minutes. Flanigans need to understand that we-customers have options. I guess they don't need customers to continue their operation. Oh well, we are taking our money somewhere else. Maybe another business will benefit from ours. Definitely not going back there again.
(1)Diego C.
Amazing. The service was excellent and the food was even better. I went late at night with a couple friends and the food still tasted fresh. I recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a great sports bar. The food servings were definitely worth the price as well.
(5)Jose C.
What in the hell is wrong with these customer service girls? When we arrived to the rest, they asked us to wait a couple of minutes but two minutes later they were calling other parties arriving later. When My wife complained she was told to wait 20 minutes, at least!!! We left the restaurant and one of those girls said: have a nice day, while smiling (or insulting) instead of finding a solution. Is this discrimination?
(1)Craig B.
Best Flanagan, great atmosphere and the fish is cooked right every time. Love the tuna steak, fire cracker shrimp. Bartenders are great I sit at the bar when my kids are not with me and the service the best, I enjoy their mojitos and nachos.
(5)Adam S.
Went here today and while the food was good. The waitress was very unattentive and we felt very rushed as the main meals came out 2 mins after our salads which we were all still eating. So with all the food on the table it was hard to maneuver cuz of the lack of space. Not sure if I will go back to this location.
(2)Nicole N.
I sat in the server Sherry's section and she made my experience amazing! She literally lives to serve! No joke. If u are gna eat here definitely ask for her! She gets 5 stars! *****
(4)Kristen L.
I have been coming here for over15 years and I have never had a bad experience. The food is on point and the staff is always friendly and willing to please. Managers ALWAYS come to our table to ask how everything was. My only complaint is that they need more craft beer. They only have fat tire and what ever sam seasonal there is. Please get more craft beer!!! We love you but we're forced to drink good beer with bad service at Duffy's. Side note: if you want liquor they have a full bar.
(5)Raymond M.
The best Flanigas hands down. Sitting al fresco is great! They have ceiling fans! If you have lived in Miami or anywhere is South Florida, then you must have either seen, ate or drank at this icon of South Florida. With its nautical themed restaurant/grill/bar it brings in all the charm of Miami and her great seafood gastronomical creations. I have been to a few Flanigans in South Florida and the one in Weston is by far the best that I have dinned at. Not to loud, not to quite, happy people at the bar, families, and couples enjoying the deck behind the restaurant. Just a wonderful and happy place to dine or spend a couple of hours nursing a beer. Go ahead and try it you'll like trust me.
(5)MickeyBlue I.
I like this location because it's way out in Weston and it's very unlikely that hoodlums would come out here. The service is friendly and the restaurant seems clean. I do think they should update and change their dessert menu which is pretty boring.
(3)D. ..
Always feel comfortable and can bring my family as a great consistent restaurant. Food is good and good management staff. Thought known as a bar, is be only Flanigans I know with a playground, which is great for my 4 year old. Get there early on weekends or you will wait. It's the go to spot when we need to get a quick bite in a nice relax atmosphere. Oh, and good happy hour too!!!! Great steam clams.... And very reasonable pricing.
(3)Anonymous ..
Definitely a notch above Chilis and Fridays. But nothing is particularly interesting, innovative or healthful about their menu. Flanigans has been around forever. Nothing much has changed. If you want a 2000 calorie serving of nachos this is a great place. Beer? They have all that too. But for dinner there are so many other better places to eat.
(2)Orlando C.
One star because that was available...A/C SUPER LOW...bathroom smelled extremely bad with paper in the urinals...drinks over priced with vodka and monster over 15.00
(1)Robert R.
Great local joint. I like to sit at the bar and have two orders of steamers with a side of garlic rolls. Be sure you share the rolls, because there is a lot of garlic. Death by chocolate desert will put you into a coma, it is so good! Great bar staff, good pours, and all super friendly. Not sure why I didn't give them 5 stars, but only my wife gets that rating.
(4)Tom I.
This review is for take out service: Inconsiderate service: missing ketchup, mayo, napkin, utensil, list goes on. I guess take out means you just take out food, and they don't give you anything beyond that!? Food quality: meh, but they were HUGE. If you are hungry and couldn't tell difference between cardboard and real meal, dine here.
(2)Ilene F.
Can be quite busy...great burgers...GREAT kid's menu...Service is usually on point.
(4)Lian T.
Decent food and good service. I prefer this spot for seafood and beer to the other alternatives in the area. Our server was very helpful and checked on us often. The food was better than expected and they have great daily specials. The location on the water is great!
(4)John L.
This place has consistently disappointed me - sloppy service, boring but well prepared offerings. Bar service seems especially haphazard - not just once; several times over a few years. Much better choices.
(1)Brian C.
Usually stop by for a happy hour or work function when we have them on the patio area. Nice view outside, and if the weather is good, highly recommend sitting outside. Other than that, its your typical Flannigans in terms of food, pricing, etc.
(3)Yves J.
I was a bit unsure about this place. I was wrong. The Lemon Tilipia was outstanding. The coffee...it wasn't bad. You must go to this place. I'm looking forward to come here again.
(4)Shoba S.
I would rate zero stars but it wouldn't let me. Tried ordering a dinner salad but with only romaine lettuce (offered to pay for the change) and I was told no. I then asked to order the Caesar salad but wanted to pay to add red onions, peperoncini peppers... The waitress comes back and said that I can't order two salads. Are you serious? I left the restaurant because at this point I'm so annoyed. I called to speak to the manager and the hostess told me to call back or leave a message... Mind you as I walked out I saw the manager standing at the front desk. Horrible customer service. BTW I've ordered the same salad at other locations without a problem. Needless to say I'm never going back.
(1)Melissa S.
Amazing food and awesome service by our waiter Robert! We are visiting all the way from SoCal and have had such a great vacation so far. We will definitely come back here if we make the trip back out to Florida :)
(5)L H.
This is one of our traditional spots we hit while we are in Weston, Florida on vacation. We always eat there at least one night while down there. The food is consistent. The ribs are very good. The chick stickers are excellent as they are made from fresh chicken tenderloin and not processed chicken. The best thing on the menu in my opinion are the fresh garlic rolls they serve. They are to die for. Very good, very messy, but very tasty. We also like the onion strings that they have as well as the different fish they serve. Overall, if you are looking for a good place to eat while on vacation and you are NOT looking for a fine dinning establishment, but looking for good solid food, then Flanigans is the place for you. Good food, decent service and offers discounts if you stay at the local resorts. Highly recommend it. They also have two copies of the Super Bowl trophies that the Dolphins won back in the day.
(4)Daniel B. O.
Their fish deep is good. This place used to be one of the first sport bars in Weston; however, through the years its lost some of its quality. Its due for a renovation, the place is a little dated and dark.
(3)Jay S.
Pros: *Fantastic service.... This was my first time at the restaurant, and the waitress did a great job of guiding me through the menu and helping me make an excellent selection (ribs). *Breadth of menu... There is something for everyone here, including burgers, grilled fish, ribs, and chicken. *Atmosphere... If you like a place that is busy, noisy, and energetic, then this is the place. I was surprised at the number of seniors dining next to families with children and guys out on the town; this place has a very eclectic crowd, and food seems to be the common denominator. *Sports TV... There are no shortages of screens in this place, and not just in the bar. The entire restaurant is wired up, so you won't miss your game (unless it's rugby, maybe). Cons: *Compared to another corporate-style seafood mill, Bonefish, I think the food here is not as well prepared and far more unhealthy. There is not a lot of grilled fish to choose from. They serve plates of biscuit-style "garlic rolls" that are sitting in melted butter with garlic... Tasty, yes, but you won't make it past age 60 eating like that! *Noise... It was a plus for me, as I was looking for some crowded energy the night I went, but I can see this being a turnoff if you are looking from something a bit calmer and more relaxing. Overall, I give this four stars because of the exceptional service and broad menu. There is something for everyone here, and the atmosphere is sure to entertain out-of-town company. If I could grade the food itself separately, I would give it only three stars, as it is tasty and properly cooked, but seriously unhealthy.
(4)David W.
Good service, great food, awesome atmosphere, and nice patio seating. But you better get here early. I have been coming here for years and everything stays consistent. Great place to grab a beer and burger for lunch or to bring a date for a casual diner. Great selection on the menu from salads and burgers to fish and steak entrees. All fresh and served to order. The nautical theme is throughout the restaurant and feels especially authentic out on the patio next to the lake. Just missing the seagulls and passing boats. Prices are fair, a good value for your buck. I will be back. Meet you on the patio for a beer. Cheers
(4)Marty B.
We finally ate at the Flanigan's in Weston The food was good. Our server was not. SWMBO and I went with two children for an early after-church lunch. I think our server, Richard, doesn't like parties with children. If he does, he needs to adjust his demeanor. At any rate, his inattentive and somewhat dismissive service resulted in a 14 percent tip and it was almost a 9% tip when my wife considered only giving him the change that came back from the payment. She couldn't bring herself to do that. You see, we normally tip VERY well for just regular good service. Like 25%. If you are a star, you do even better. I've been in the biz for 30 years. I am on the servers side. Not this one though. When our little three-year-old didn't care for her lemonade, my wife asked if she could just have a water. We didn't ask for the lemonade to be taken off the bill. We just wanted her to have something she would drink. The disgusted look and snatch of the cup off the table was uncalled for. We asked nicely. When I received my bloody mary, it was in a 6 oz rocks glass. Kind of a surprise on a Sunday when you figure on those drinks being in at least a highball or Collins glass. Now, I had been told the drinks were half price at the time. Really not a big special if it's just half size though, right? Richard asked if I wanted spicy or not. I asked for medium spicy. He asked what vodka I wanted. I asked if they had Tanquery and he told me Tanqueray is gin. I told him they also have vodka, but if they didn't have it I would take Absolut. Again, this guy needs to work on his expressions. he had a look like I was full of shit. Anyway, the mary was vodka and tomato juice on the rocks with MAYBE a drop of tobasco and a cocktail straw. Am I wrong in thinking that I should have maybe a celery stalk, some celery salt on the rim or an olive impaled on a toothpick sword here? What a sad drink. Not even a wedge of lime. When he came back around, I didn't say a word about the drink. I just asked if I could please have a glass of water (6 oz of beverage was not going to cut it and I was not ordering another cocktail after this) and a wedge of lime. !) MINUTES later, I had to ask someone else to bring it. Bad waiter... very bad. But the food was great. I had the Smoked Fish Dip. It was wonderfully mild and smoky and was served with fresh tortilla chips, some packaged crackers and celery and carrot sticks. NOW I had celery for my pissant drink. LOL My wife had Stuffed Potato Skins that were very good. Molly had a mini corndog platter with fries which she couldn't finish, so I had a few. they were nice and crispy and had a wonderful savory sweet corn batter. Burt had chicken wings and mac and cheese. the mac was REALLY cheesy and the wings looked a little overdone, but Burt was raving that they were the way a friend of his makes them and he was a fan. We eat at Quarterdecks all the time, and we have seen this place here and kept saying we would try it. The place is clean and well appointed. The food was very good. If we come again, we will just be sure Richard doesn't wait on us.

Good atmosphere, like a marine dive bar / restaurant mix. Sharks, fish tanks, cool vibe. The food is tasty, and it's right on the lake. Patio is real cool. Bar seems good, and we did have to wait for a few minutes to be seated, but the place accommodates big parties too so no big deal. Good local spot.

Sorry, I'm a couple months late on this review. But I had to write one about this place....one word Awesome Lunch specials are super....good food at a very fair price and excellent service. Stopped in here about 5 times even brought my parent once and they loved it. Happy hours here will make you very happy. Check out their menu on line...

Always a great place for late night wings, burgers, and beer. Food is average but there are times they cook the perfect burger.

I used to come here a lot to drink with my friends at the bar. Last time I was there, we got a table and got drinks and appetizers, I ordered a vodka tonic. The waitress brought out what seemed to be plain tonic water, no vodka, no lime, no ice, no stirring straw. SO i called over the waitress and informed her of their mistake, she referred me to the manager who was the rudest woman I've ever encountered at a restaurant. She was arguing with me, and finally brought out a shot of vodka and a lime out to my table so I could "make my drink myself"... never coming back here again... the bar food is alright, the drinks are cheap, but their service and fish sucks big time.

This reminds me of being a kid and going to those huge chain restaurants that are for parents who want to take their kids somewhere they won't be too big of a bother. It smells extremely good as you walk in...That sweet smell of barbecuing ribs is intoxicating. But the grubby inside just leaves me feeling dirty and uncomfortable. That's one thing that turns me off - the feeling that the place can just never be clean. The atmosphere inside is just too closed in, but they do have a very nice fish tank. The waiter was really nice - he knew his stuff. I had the Tuna Steak Sandwich and it was really really salty. It seemed like they accidentally dropped it into a salty brine. Then the tuna wasn't really rare (the way I ordered it). You know it's bad when I DON'T take anything home afterwards. I have to say their fries are delicious, so that's what my dinner was mostly comprised of. My boyfriend got the half rack of ribs with chicken planks (tenders...whatever) with fries and he loved everything but the chicken. It wasn't seasoned and the chickens texture wasn't good....But he loved the ribs and fries. He loves their bbq sauce too. I do have to agree, the fact that the rib meat falls off the bone is very impressive. But for me, I just can't get to liking the flavor of the sauce. But I'm very picky when it comes to my bbq - cause it's not my favorite food, but I gave the place a 3 cause my boyfriend liked it, and the ribs are good - if you like their bbq sauce...

Food was great as usual, however the service could not be any slower. Bar service very slow and could not be bothered to take care of thier customers.... Maybe I will get a table next time.

As far as chain restaurants go, Flanigan's is one that I can keep coming back to. Particularly, the Weston location is my favorite. I can count on my burger coming out medium rare when I ask for it that way. I have not had the same luck at other locations. (in particular, Hallandale, last week, which consisted of an over-cooked burger and mediocre srevice). Service at the Weston location is better as well. Love that Texas burger.

Don't know why it was so popular and packed... I asked for seafood restaurant recommendation at the hotel I was staying at, and Flanigans was the closest of all the places he suggested, so decided to go one night. I was absolutely packed! With lots and lots of people waiting! My husband was too hungry to be waiting for 45 minutes to an hour, so we just found something close by (turned out not great, but that's another story). We left Flanigans unfed the first time, and since it was so busy, we thought it must be good, so returned on another day. This time, we were seated within 10 minutes or so. I wasn't too hungry, so I had the clam chowder and something else that wasn't really memorable. Overall, the food wasn't that good... Not sure why people seemed so crazy about that place.

Good prices and atmosphere, but the food was very mediocre. I ordered a slab of ribs, they were cooked well, but I've had better BBQ sauce at McDonalds.

Best lunch specials around! Great ribs, and as usual, awesome fresh fish sandwiches. Be sure to try the tuna philly hoagie!

Dear Flanigan's of Weston, Being one of the closer restos to the hospital, we found ourselves here a couple of times needing to grab something to eat. You are a rather large location, nicely set up with a big center bar, great outside seating area & bar, and spacious indoors. I've sat both indoors and out, and depending on one's mood, either area is just right to be in. The outdoors overlooks a nice lake and fountain and has a great breeze due to that. You also have tons of TVs outside (and in) so that no one ever misses a game! Also, outside there is a great kids' area, with a jungle gym for their entertainment. Nice touch! Your service is really good overall, and I've never experienced slow service or a bad server. The food here is cooked very well and I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. Here, we've tried the dolphin fingers (crispy and delicious), Philly Cheese-steak (pretty good, with mushrooms, onions, and cheese), ribs (they're the pride and joy of all Flanigan's - here they were perfect!), fries, tumbleweed onions, and the shrimp scampi, which has to be one of my favorite dishes by far. The shrimp were a tad chewy, I will say, but mixed with the pasta and the butter-garlic sauce, they were really tasty. A great place to for dinner, drinks, and sports spectating! Thanks for the good meals, SabrinaAnna*

Flanigan's is not a fancy place and I wouldn't necessarily say it's the best if you're looking for a place to watch a game, but I am addicted to their garlic rolls and philly cheesesteak. Those things are the sole reason that I have been going back for the past 10 years (since I was in high school). To be honest, I have not ventured off to try anything there besides my favorites, a burger and dessert so I can't speak to the entire menu but I haven't heard anyone complain either so I think that's a good sign. Service has always been good and it's nice if you can sit by the fish tank or on the patio by the water.

Excellent food, service, outside patio waterfront view! What else can you ask for?

Clams were good. Patio is nice. The rest of the food was bland.

Yea, as I write this review, I'm the Duke of this Flanigans. Wanna fight about it? Ok, so now that I've gotten the show-off portion of this review out of the way, I would like to say that this is my favorite Flanigans ever! Can you tell? Let me explain, not only are there many bars, but there are many Flanigans locations too! Don't get me wrong, this is not my favorite bar ever (though fairly close), but it is definitely my favorite Flanigans. Let me put it this way, I live in Broward and PRACTICALLY live in Miami (Work), yet I choose to come to this one. The staff here is great, they easily remember you after you go a couple of times (we usually sit at the outside bar). The fact that there's an OUTSIDE bar is great and not found in all locations, specially with a nice man-made lake view! What more can you ask for!??!? I don't know if I should talk about this, but, but, but, I love rib rolls. Yea, I know, most of you have had it, but I don't care because I want to talk about it. Rib rolls are made of rib meat that I don't care to know how it came out of the bone, put in a delicious eggroll style pastry. Then, it's served with ranch dressing. Then, you die and go to heaven. Look, at least that's how I remember it. Believe it or not, the 5 stars are not because of the rib rolls. Seriously. I could have done a review on rib rolls in another Flanigans and said the same thing. Like I said, I spend most of my time in Miami and never think of going to Flanigans. It's just the whole atmosphere, especially when watching the Heat game outside while having a pitcher that most of the time comes with something free and legally having a cigarette less than 100 feet away from someting edible. Yea, unfortunately I smoke cigarettes. Wanna fight about it? ;-)

Best service I have had in Weston thus far on this trip. Perhaps it was Christmas, but Sam was always there to give us what we needed without being bothersome. As far as appetizers go, the Tumbleweed Onions were on point. Thin, crispy and pilled high. All for under 5 bucks. Bargain! Of course, I had to try the ribs and got some shrimp to go along with it. The ribs were definitely fall off the bone. The sauce was competent. Not the best ribs I have ever had, but certainly ribs that hit the spot and that I would get again. The shrimp were exactly the same. The fries could have used a bit more flavor to them and this was even with honey mustard atop their curly selves. The whole meal was polished down with a brownie bonzai sundae, which while calorically challenged, did my mouth right. Fudgy brownie, ice cream, whipped cream, fudge, oreo pieces everywhere, and three kit kat bars. Yes, sir. Heaven! Apparently though this place gets really busy during the week around 7 to 9. So come early or come late.

He, he...Where do you think all the ladies tennis players hang out after our matches??? Flannies!!! You can't beat their 4.99 special lunches and their pitchers of beer. Great drinks and we love to sit at the bar because we get quick service. We basically eat there every day. Awesome burgers, great blackened fish, dolphin fingers and perfect for kids :) They have a big table by the play area and kids can eat there without a problem, when their are done, they go to the game area to play air hockey and pack man so we can have another diet coke ;) and of course kids eat and play under our supervision ;)

This is not a review on the food. I'm sure the food would have been good if I had been given a table. On my birthday I went here because I had previous experiences that were good. But I was skipped after waiting for 45 mins. Lisa the hostess skipped my name. Then a second hostess told me I had to wait an additional 45 mins. I was hungry. The manager told me that she "moved" me to the other list. The hostess skipped my name and moved it once I asked to speak with the manager. I have had wonderful experiences here so if you go please make sure you follow your name and make sure it is called. Besides that enjoy. Jose P

You either love Flanigan's or you hate it. I happen to love it and their $4.99 lunch specials. The burgers are great and the Chicken Philly is the best thing on the menu. I've never had the ribs, but have only heard good things about them. Their mozzarella sticks and potato skins are great appetizers and for dessert, look no further than the Banzai brownie. There are a few downsides though...the decor is definitely geared towards the fishing fan (I happen to be one so it doesn't bother me), their drink specials are very lacking, and their TV's never seem to get upgraded. Those are very minor gripes and nothing that will keep me from coming back for more!

this is my personal opinion and only mine, this is for me the best burger and ribs place in Miami area. Ambiance is great, customer service is top notch and full of variety... good prices a s well
