Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill

"The Dish: Rib Rolls Flanigan’s may have started in Pompano Beach, but no other city embraces the restaurant like Miami. Its green glow is a beacon for affordable bar food, fast service, and safe spaces for any South Floridian who’s ever impaled a shrimp with a hook. While its massive menu includes pretty good wings, a pasta caesar salad (not to be confused with the caesar salad, pasta salad, or plain old salad salad), you can’t say you’ve fully experienced Flanigan’s without ordering the rib rolls. These massive wonton rolls are stuffed with baby back rib meat, pulled pork, cheddar cheese, onions, and barbecue sauce. Are they good? Not really. Are they iconic? Absolutely.

"Flannigan’s is a very popular South Florida chain that’s been a favorite since 1959. And if there’s an important game happening, you can bet all eight Flannigan’s locations in Miami will be packed. This place is dark and mostly made of wood, and both the wings (free every Wednesday if you buy a pitcher of beer) and ribs are what you want while watching athletic adults do impressive things with their bodies. Our favorite location is the Grove one, but Surfside is always fun too." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"No Miami nacho list would be complete without a Flanigan’s mention. This Miami establishment serves loaded nachos in the form of a small mountain of crispy homemade white corn tortilla chips piled with beef and bean chili, melted cheese, pico di gallo, jalapeños, shredded lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream. Pro tip: score free loaded nachos with the purchase of a pitcher of beer, iced tea, lemonade, or soda every Monday from opening to closing." - Amber Love Bond

"A hometown favorite spot to watch games or just hang with friends, Flanigan’s is the reason almost everyone in Miami has a cabinet full of big green plastic cups. With locations all over South Florida, massive burgers, racks of ribs, and insane nightly specials like half price drinks after 9 p.m. are always nearby." - Amber Love Bond

"One immediate thing that separates the Grove Flanigan’s from the other Miami locations (other than the intense Saturday night wait times) is that it’s open until 4:30am every day. So needless to say, this Flanigan’s is here to party. If you’re looking for a quieter meal, ask to be seated in the room with the rainbow fish tank, where you can sit with your kids and not worry about them asking you why that loud man called the referee on TV a “comemierda.” But if a drinking scene is what you’re looking for, head to the opposite room, where you’ll find a giant bar and strangers with the same mindset. A lot of people think this is the original Flanigan’s—it’s not (that’s in Pompano). But there is something about this one that shines brighter than the rest. Maybe it has more green twinkle lights per square foot (they’re even in the parking lot). Or perhaps this is just one of the few places left in the Grove that still feels true to its days of rickshaws and moose juice. " - Virginia Otazo
