Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill

"This South Florida chain has been a favorite since 1959. And we like the Surfside location a lot—it's dark and wooden, like the hull of an old ship. It's actually our second favorite Flanigan's location in Miami (yes, we ranked them all). Both the wings (free every Wednesday if you buy a pitcher of beer) and ribs will give you the sustenance you need after helping your little cousin build sandcastles for six hours. The service is quick, and this place is both a solid spot for your post-beach comedown and a fascinating glimpse into the South Florida psyche." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"You know them. You love them. You’ve celebrated at least one little league victory here in your life. Flanigan’s is a classic South Florida chain and you know what? Their wings are pretty good, and consistently so—no matter which of the eight Miami locations you visit. They aren’t mind-blowing, but they’re comforting—the kind of saucy wings (mild, medium, hot, or BBQ are your options) perfect for drenching in blue cheese. You will need roughly 75 moist towelettes afterward. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Flannigan’s is a very popular South Florida chain that’s been a favorite since 1959. This place is dark and wooden, like the hull of an old ship, and both the wings (free every Wednesday if you buy a pitcher of beer) and ribs are good, but not great. Whether you get it or not, it’s a solid place to go for a meal and a fascinating glimpse into the South Florida psyche." - Ryan Pfeffer
