[jpbhen]

[Beach Princess]

We had a late lunch at Flip-Flops on 12/31/07! Hurray and Hooyaw! for a great place for lunch! Yummy in the Tummy!

[Seagrove Lover]

Where is this place? Would like the basic menu.

[SGB]

Anyone know if the salads or burritos are good? We're looking for a place to go tomorrow, but have a vegetarian in the group.

[flipflopsgrill]

We are just past Tom Thumb and Angelina's on 30a, in the same building as Amavida coffee and Design. The menu is made of the best hand patted fresh cheeseburgers on 30a, chili dogs served on french buns, shrimp poboys, salads, lite buritos, $3.99 kids menu, milkshakes, etc. Breakfast will be our version of donuts- fried biscuits, french toast, eggs, omelettes, sausage, bacon, biscuits n gravy. Come check us out!

[Beach Princess]

The menu is on its way- it seems the owners have been flooded and have had little time to finish their menu but it should be up soon!

You can find Flip-Flops at what used to be Larder- in the same complex as Bella Flora and Cowgirl Kitchen 9on the North Side of 30-A in Seagrove about a 1/2 mile east of Cocoon's...

Stop by Cocoon's for some smoked shrimp, fantastic chicken salad and shrimp salad, and a great variety of sandwiches- sure to please just about every palatte!

No, I don't work there- I just stop in everyday for my BIG OLE SWEET TEA and lunch on the way to work!

Bon Appitite!

The Burritos are excellent, but that was the chicken one.

Flip Flops - What are your hours? We tried to stop by tonight and you were closed!! I drove 6 hours (from Atlanta here) thinking about the onion rings that I've heard so much about!

They are open for lunch from 10 to 2 everyday and then open til I believe 10 on Fridays and Saturdays. Don't be mad it is worth the wait.

[tistheseason]

I'm not mad. . .just hungry!

[elgordoboy]

I stopped by 3ish and was saddened. Perhaps the tastiest burger I have ever had was the one I had last week there. It tasted so fresh. I now know the hours .

[SWGB]

Hey Shea,

Frozen ready to microwave goodies sold in the Publix frozen food section.

I think the name of the shopping area is called Seagrove Plaza. Aren't they located right next to Bruno's Pizza?

No, they are in the same complex as Amavida, Bella Flora, and they are in the old Larder location.

[Miss Kitty]

We had lunch there today. It could be the best hamburger in the area, but I had a bit too much salt on mine....I'll ask for none next time. O Rings are tasty, Shrimp Poboy was delicious. We were the only ones at first and then the place was packed! Welcome addition to the area!

Shea your in now, you have been given the Kitty seal of approval.

Oh, OK. Sorry. So they are where Cowgirl Kitchen use to be, meaning in that shopping area?

[SWGB]

Correct, you have to go thru the two buildings and enter from the (front?) street side.

[Beach Princess]

SWGB- What are you doing up so late posting! You should be in bed with the covers pulled up around you and zzzzzzing away! Save your energy for the critics corner at Pandora's! Love, Beach Princess

[Minnie]

...I feel your pain, Minnie, but I don't think anyone has ever given me an actual address to anywhere in sowal!

Your right I could be doing this at work.

...that makes more sense to me than that street address!

[SWGB]

...that makes more sense to me than that street address!

I had a feeling someone would say that. It is an old southern tradition to give directions based on something that no longer exists.

[Beach Princess]

SWGB- Hope to see you @ Pandora's! Tomorrow- Entourage following!

Winning personality and good looks.

okay, this thread has reminded me that I am craving a flip flop burger and fries. and now I must try the onion rings too!

yes, there are a few good burgers in the area, but until Flip Flops, none were unique or special in any way. this new burger in town is going places...
did you say biscuits and gravy for breakfast?

The Nola folks will descend on you for that. Seriously though they are kind of like a pastry that is rolled so that when dropped in hot fat it puffs up, they are then dusted in powdered sugar. Yummy! Gator also serves them at Blue Orleans.

[elgordoboy]

I had a sample today at flip flops after another wonderful burger. Gators are authentic beignets and very good. Flip flops are tasty but are biscuit dough I was told by the chef. Real beignets like Gators remind me of funnel cake.

[rdelong43065]

I ventured up to Seagrove today and had lunch at Flip Flops. I must say that I was impressed. Tried the burger and it was wonderful. What I liked best was the owners. They are very nice. They took time to have a conversation and made me feel welcome. Trying the chili dog next.

Ok, where is Gators?

[Garner]

I had my first flip flop burger today and it was worthy. I ordered it with everything - it arrived a perfect medium / medium rare, dressed with chopped lettuce (very good to keep the tomato from sliding off), pickle, decent January tomato, cheddar cheese, mustard and seasoned mayonnaise. I took it to go, so sadly the fries were cold by the time I got back to the office but they were still good. At 12:45 on a January day, the place was hopping! It was clear that there were many of the customers were repeats. Just imagine how busy they will be when the tourists are here in force!

Flip flops - thank you for filling a strong need for reasonably priced, casual, good food on 30A. I'll be back!

[30abob]

Ok, where is Gators?

Gator's (place) a.k.a. Blue Orleans is located in Blue Mountain Beach. Can't miss it, North side of 30A in a "blue" building between the old Nick's and the 30A Liquor Store.

uh, swgb, I know wtf a beignet is!!! I could live on beignets and cafe au lait. and I've never really had one outside of NO that was truly worthy.

I just didn't know that my new favorite place serves beignets! lord help! my thighs! my thighs! If I know Shea and Rebecca, they will be serving a good one and I'm ready to try it!

[flipflopsgrill]

Just wanted to thank everyone for coming into Flip-Flops. We will keep doing our best! A note on our Beignets... they are actually, what is called in Louisiana, a POOR MANS BEIGNET... my mother used to make them every morning. Its a fried biscuit and they are quite tasty with powedered sugar! We were going to call them beach biscuits or pough-nuts...but decided to just call them beignets... sorry for the confusion...come in and try them out!

Thanks,

Flip Flops

[elgordoboy]

Yes they are very tasty...now GO TO BED! I plan on coming in for a burger tomorrow and you need to be rested I can't have you staying up irresponsibly late.

[SGB]

We also stopped in for a burger at Flip Flops for the first time yesterday. Great! We're so happy they're in Seagrove!

[tistheseason]

We finally made it to Flip Flops. . . .I LOVED the gorgonzola burger. We all had one and it really was fantastic. The onion rings weren't my thing. But I'll be back for the burger -- Maybe with a side salad next time. (You need something to balance all the fat grams in the burger!) My son also got a milkshake and it was YUMMY!

[jpbhen]

balance fat grams? are you supposed to balance fat grams?

[jpbhen]

late lunch wth buds yesterday was great (AGAIN)! i know i should try out more things on the menu, and i will if i can release the gorgonzola burger from my vise-like grip. thanks to rebecca and shay for putting up with us taking up space until 3:30.

going to try to squeeze in a breakfast when we come back in feb. gorgonzola breakfast burrito?

[JUL]

YUM...I can't wait to go back again in the spring....best fries I've ever tasted!

Oh okay, I didn't realize it was a sarcasm thing.

balance fat grams? are you supposed to balance fat grams?

Take fat grams divide by 2 and put, now, equal parts on either side. This keeps you balanced so as to not fall over.

lunch at flips today!!!!!!!!!! we arrived about 1:45 (they close at 2) and the place was totally packed. not a single table inside to be had, but we found one (barely) outside.

get this. they were out of burgers!!! and I guess this is a good sign - the business is great at flips! even though sowal is dead as a doornail these days. they were so jammed up with locals, and Shea was back there cooking like a crazy person. so I guess I just have to go back for my burger another day very soon.

meanwhile, I was "forced" to try the chilie-cheese dog - very delicious! loved the onion rings too. a delicious chocolate shake rounded off a really great lunch. my boys enjoyed bean burrito, shrimp, fries. all good. better than good.

very good comfort food, served outdoors, on a beautiful winter day in sowal. what more could we ask for? okay, a hamburger. but, other than that...

[pizzaeater]

Best burgers in SoWal...

You're gonna hate me. We got there just before you and got one of the last ones. And it sure was good.
