This is a very enthusiastic three stars I'm giving, and I'd like to rate it 3.5. That may sound weird, but considering I've thought for decades that it sucked, three stars now is a rave review from me.
It's the bar I like. It turns out that it's way better than sitting at a table. The atmosphere at the bar and the bartenders have all been great on my recent three visits. I stopped one late afternoon after I had a quick job to do in Lake Worth, and this Flanigan's on Southern Blvd was right on the way home. For the same reason, I went back two more times shortly after that first visit. Happy-hour beers (and other alcohol) are at great prices. Bartenders Jason and Mike are so friendly and upbeat. Mike told me how to add that jukebox app to my phone, and I was even happier playing whatever songs I wanted. Beer, my music, and burgers -- what's not to like? There are a number of regulars, several of whom I spoke with on my visits. They all told me they love the low prices and the menu specials. There are different specials each day of the week. The burger is surprisingly good. The beers before eating may make them taste better than they are, but I'm quite sure they are good anyway. I ordered medium rare with Swiss, twice. On my third visit I had the Chicken Philly at the suggestion of a bartender, but I didn't love it like he does. It's ok. Average. Curly fries usually aren't my thing, but they are perfectly fine with ketchup. Last weekend my friend had the prime rib cooked rare, and she loved it.
So I say 3.5 and I'll definitely go back. The food is average, but as long as you aren't expecting upscale food, this a good place to go. Fair prices and nice employees. That counts for a lot!
