by Laura M. on I loved my experience at Flip. We arrived at 11:15 to avoid the legendary lines that everyone keeps crying about. Here's a tip...if you don't want to wait, go at an off-peak time! The space is beautiful and cleverly designed. I love the flat screens in the giant frames and the booths with an upside down booth hanging from the ceiling are amazing! The tables in the center of the room are close together, so you have a retro communal type feeling. Now on to the food...I had a traditional bacon cheese burger and it was great. Perfectly cooked and I have to say for all you bacon lovers out there...the bacon is insanely good. My by and I shared the fries, which were really flavorful and crispy. He had the Flip burger but added the homemade pimento cheese and said it was great. They also have a great assortment of retro bottled sodas --even Cheerwine! We both ate to the stuffing point for $21.90, which we thought was fair for the quality of food and the great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!
by Lurline Robidoux on The Kong is The Kong... How do you quantify a place like this? Let's see: + The plastic animals on the mysteriously strong scorpion bowls (supposedly only 2-3 shots in the large!) + Staff that - while not the most patient - deal with drunk people incredibly well, and incredibly fast service + Some food that's delicious, if not "good" - scallion pancakes, beef chow fun, some of the spicy noodle dishes. On the other hand: - Expensive drinks (bad idea: getting drunk at the Kong. good idea: being drunk at the Kong) - A floor so sticky on the 2nd floor you may lose your shoes - Drunk guys trying to pick fights outside the door Last thing - two years ago, I saw a guy in a booth at the Kong lean over, vomit all over the floor, and then keep on eating. Since they renovated the downstairs over the summer, I feel like things have gotten a tad classier (and for the better).
by anna marie c. on i came here on a first date. it's not a good place for a first date (so awkward!!) so apparently we had reservations. of course, a table wasn't ready and we opted to sit at the bar. it took at least 15 minutes to get the bartender's attention and get a drink. and i desperately needed one. then what felt like an hour later (and two trips by said date to hostess desk) we were finally seated. the food was pretty good. better than pretty good. it was tasty. but i think i felt so awkward because date actually said whilst i am looking at the menu 'don't worry about the prices.' who says that?? but the whole atmosphere was stuffy. and the boat is tilted, so you feel like you're walking on an angle when you get up. but again, not a first date place. or any place i'd take a date. unless if i were 55 and trying to enjoy my golden years. not a place to blow your money on.
