### 2/5 — Very Poor Food on Takeout

*2026-02-13, version 25.0*

I don’t know why Flanigans has takeout. Every time we order out, the food is far inferior to eating at the restaurant. Even the rocking ribs were  not good. Takeout seems to be a big part of their business. You would think it would at least have some sort of dedication to it. I waited 15 minutes beyond “your food is ready” time and finally, after I spoke up, somebody said they would look into it. Just bad news. Management should try ordering anonymously and see what they get.

### 3/5 — Don’t know what happened

*2025-11-20, version 25.0*

I placed an order on line November 18th 2025 for prime rib and ribeye dinner to go. I was very disappointed with the ribeye as it had no flavor at all, which was surprising to me as I’ve ordered lots of times and always was very happy with the ribeye that was full of flavor. Maybe different cook I don’t know but it definitely lack flavor.

### 1/5 — New app makes rewards complicated

*2025-06-25, version 25.0*

Old version was so much better with the code. Before it was 10
Lunches to get a free one. Now if you stick with the lunch special it takes 15 lunches for only $10 that does not cover a meal. So not a “free” lunch. Sad to see.

### 2/5 — Updated loyalty program

*2025-06-24, version 25.0*

The previous app lunch club feature gave you a free lunch after you had 10 lunches (stamps). The new program gives you points for every dollar you spend (looks like $10 off $150). Not a very good deal for loyalty members anymore.

### 1/5 — They updated their loyalty program

*2025-06-22, version 25.0*

Ever since the loyalty update to lunchtime legends the app bow requires my actual phone number. No thanks. Tired of apps collecting info they dont really need.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-06-20, version 25.0*

The new, updated app keeps asking me to sign in. The old one was better.

### 1/5 — Charges a service fee of $5

*2025-05-07, version 24.18.2024121101*

I would’ve just called if I knew I was going to get charged $5 for ordering on this app..

### 1/5 — Service fee???

*2025-03-15, version 24.18.2024121101*

What is the point of ordering on the app if you’re gonna charge a fee? I guess I’ll keep calling in to order and I could care less about a “rewards” program when I’m basically paying for it lol

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2025-03-13, version 24.18.2024121101*

I ordered a cheeseburger. My lettuce was wilted . I asked for ketchup and mayo. They didn’t put it on the burger. I didn’t realize that I had mushrooms on the burger, which was my fault. I don’t eat mushrooms. I’m allergic to them so I couldn’t eat the burger, but regardless, my lettuce was disgustingly wilted Didn’t get any straws for our 3 drinks. I did not get any utensils. I will never order for pick up again.

### 1/5 — Bad service in Hialeah restaurant

*2024-10-26, version 24.10.2024072501*

I buy to go a full rack of baby ribs, a loaded potato an 8oz of coleslaw.
There’s no bacon on the potato and 3.5 oz of coleslaw.
Don’t steal people money like that..

### 3/5 — Love the app

*2024-07-03, version 23.22.2023111401*

The app is very easy to use and will use it again. The only issue with the app was I never received a ready for pick up until I got there paid and left. also, people were parking in the takeout only spots that we’re not there for takeout,making it difficult to find a parking spot. 
Also be sure to check your order I ordered prime rib with au ju which I did not get.

### 1/5 — Service fee added to my bill

*2024-01-10, version 23.22.2023111401*

The app is excellent and very easy to use. The pickup time was sooner than expected. My food was excellent. The one thing that bothered me the most is that I did all the work on the order and payment ( just like the self checkout at stores) and yet I got a service fee added to my bill. Why?

### 1/5 — App still not working

*2023-11-22, version 23.22.2023111401*

I updated my app as I saw the release notes advised the issue with ordering would be resolved but I tried to order and the app is still crashing when I click check out.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2023-11-11, version 23.9.2023051901*

The food from Flanigans is great but the app does not work. Everytime I try to place an order the app crashes on me.

### 1/5 — Horrible experience

*2026-02-26, version 25.0*

I am told 30-40 min wait.  But in waitlist,  30 min comes and i ask where i am on list told 10 minutes more.  The  receptionist comes out and offers two high tops open to people that just came.  So i say what about me and she says well they said they would take hightop u want a booth.  Never said i wanted booth.  Then all of a sudden we are seated.  Now we wait for waitress 15 minutes.  She comes and says she was slammed.  This place has gone down hill.  Service slow.  time to find a new place to eat at.

### 1/5 — Online pick up order

*2026-01-26, version 25.0*

I’m a loyal customer I always order Loaded nachos and they are enough to fill two people up , today 1/25/2025  is like the fifth time I order to pick up and my nachos weren’t the same half of them were just lettuce I can’t even feel the cheddar cheese there’s way too much lettuce and it wasn’t in place it was all over is mixed in , they used to gave me the order nicely with the guacamole in the top the sour cream and everything I didn’t even get the sour cream. Hope you guys fix this

### 1/5 — Sharing Data

*2025-12-04, version 25.0*

Sharing of private data and tracking is a no, no.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-10-23, version 25.0*

New “Rewards” program seems geared toward making it so difficult to claim points that you don’t even bother.   Great way to mess over customers who have been coming there for years.

### 1/5 — Sheridan & university

*2025-09-30, version 25.0*

Yesterday went in with a friend and the hostess was rude, we were going for the bar, but decided on a table and I guess that was against the rules, after the altercation hopefully she was retrained.

### 1/5 — New app

*2025-08-17, version 25.0*

I used to go to my local Flanigans a lot but that has been cut out a lot. I don’t like the fact that the first thing you are asked for is your order, also it is very hard to navigate. Since points expire quickly, I am close to marking Flanigans off my frequent go to restaurant. I beg you to give up on this revised plan. I don’t think “Joe” would like it either!!!!

### 1/5 — New program

*2025-08-06, version 25.0*

The new reward program sucks….

### 1/5 — Ribs

*2025-08-02, version 25.0*

Ribs dry and overcooked inedible stopped going but decided to give it another try will never go back

### 1/5 — Not a fan!

*2025-07-28, version 25.0*

Can’t sign in anymore without agreeing for this app to share information about me and I refuse to do that. That’s ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Customer Loyalty

*2025-07-07, version 25.0*

Been a loyal customer for over 25 years and have never been more disappointed in the attention to customer support. Corporate decided to change their lunch rewards policy without giving personal notification even though they have personal details. Lost my lunch cards as well as the online rewards. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable company management.

### 5/5 — FLANNYS FOR LIFE

*2025-03-18, version 24.18.2024121101*

Nothing like some rib rolls

### 5/5 — Ride or die

*2025-03-03, version 24.18.2024121101*

Been eating at Flannigan's since 80's. Probably have eaten at all of them. Can't beat the food, service or deals.

### 5/5 — Local Fave That Never Disappoints

*2025-02-19, version 24.18.2024121101*

From wings to burgers, seafood to pasta, Flanigan’s is a local Florida fave and my go-to for some of the best baby backs. I guarantee there is not a bad choice on the menu…but that is really just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

I love Flanny’s. In fact, I’m writing this review while I’m sitting at a high top at the Flanigan’s in North Miami. The wings were awesome and so was the gumbo.

### 5/5 — Jesus loves Flanigan’s

*2024-10-10, version 24.10.2024072501*

God save pop pop flan dawg

### 5/5 — Delicious!!!

*2024-04-19, version 23.22.2023111401*

Placed my order on the app and found just one Joes to Go spot open…. The place was so packed people were parking in the to go spots and not leaving them open for folks like me. Lol. All good though. I forgot just how good the ribs and wings are. Holy moly!!! DELICIOUS!!!  Hands down, in our area, Flanigans is the best! I highly recommend it. Just don’t park in the to go spots unless you are picking it up. 🤣😂🤣 AMAZINGLY YUMMMY!!

### 5/5 — My favorite place for ribs

*2023-07-21, version 23.9.2023051901*

I love this app and the food even more

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-01-08, version 22.16.2022102101*

Grant & Jet did a great job.

### 5/5 — Best Burger in North Miami!

*2022-09-07, version 21.54.2021092201*

North Miami Flanigan’s makes the best food for pick up take out. But no one has better staff. Thank you

### 5/5 — Anakhanakajajkansnsjd

*2022-06-05*

In lane 9 it is Ashley’s birthday! Everybody say happy birthday Ashley!-Corey

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-09-13, version 1.11*

We have a suggestion.... when you reach your lunch club goal, the app should show fireworks and play a celebratory song!  Make it fun for us regular customers!
