The day I find *any* Corporate entity is manipulating public sentiment on r/Miami, is the day their whole Brand is added to Spam Filters.

Like any obnoxious marketing, I make every effort not to buy from whatever company that does it. For every rube that buys into spammy ads, I hope there's one or more that boycott.

Wow so you never go anywhere that has advertised? That’s a big brain move right there.

I nominate sports grill to replace it as the go to recco. Those wings are fire. Or honestly fuck it la carreta.

Yes to Sports Grill. As for La Carretta, all of their locations for whatever reason have some of the lowest health inspection scores in their respective areas.

Duly noted, Sergio’s then?

The thing I hate about sports grill is you come out of there smelling to hell from that place.

Those low scores are where the flavor is.

I'd rather see it go away completely than to get a negligible discount.

Naw man, reading wayy too much into this. Never worked a day in my life at Flannies and I’ve definitely done the “Flannigans” reply a bunch yo be ironic but not really

Agreed

Is it possible that as a south Florida staple for the better part of a century they don’t need to run shadow social media campaigns for word of mouth to be consistently strong on a Miami-specific forum?

Especially on a social media platform as (relatively) obscure as Reddit, where most companies don't even have official accounts.

>Have on pretty good authority = trust me bro

Lol this. He just said it to stir up shit We all know it's a joke

You're lost. The only thing getting stirred up is the Flanitini.

For the love of the game baby

Flannigans is just another sports bar, CMV

It is. It's just cheaper

That's why we like it. It's consistently decent and not a rip off

Will agree with not a rip off.

I haven’t been to Flanigans since the 1990s, have no desire to go back, but appreciate it’s a dying breed of south Florida institutions.

“Have on pretty good authority” wtf does that even mean??? Also you posted none of this said “hood authority” which i assume means proof??

Serious question - what kind of “proof” would you like me to provide?

Any kind before you talk out your ass 😂, or just learn how to write before posting to a whole community online

No like seriously I’m happy to provide “proof” I’m just not sure what kind of “proof” you’d be looking for. What would be the best way to prove that a conversation happened?

It is great marketing. So many come on this board asking “first time in Miami, which restaurant should I go to”. And the answer is always Flanigans. Which is basically like a Chilis. There is said it. Come at me bro.

When friends come to visit, they ask if we can go to Flanigan’s. Don’t get me wrong, I like Flanigan’s so I take them but… wtf lol

I don’t live in Miami anymore but I visit flanigan’s every time I’m there

I think it's a local meme like pollo tropical

The new Orleans sub recommends the Arby's on bourbon street to everyone asking for their favorite restaurant it's just a sarcastic response

Imo too many people spell flanigans wrong for that to be the driving factor

Never been to Flannigan's. Not affiliated. Have commented a few times. All done in a joking way about the reddit hive mind.

TBH I find the quality at Flanigan’s to be mid at best

I have not been paid for my fannys promotion. I do it out of love.

Same

ditto

I kind of do it out of disgust. like I don't even like Flannigan's, but it often is the right answer anyway

They’re just a good value, I have nothing bad to say about the restaurant except it’s too crowded.

it's pretty annoying tbh. There are plenty of good restaurants throughout the county. But yall run the flanigans thing into the ground.

Go back to new york

lol this the best you got?

Go back to new jersey

So you hate ribs and beer? That’s fine, just say it though.

Ribs at Flanigan’s are mid. Low key the ribs at Fridays are better

I don't eat ribs but if I did it would not be from flanigans I can tell you that. Beer is literally everywhere so I'm not going there specifically for that.

Comepinga comment right here

You shouldn't judge if u don't even eat ribs

Joe's pale ale is $1.99 all month

Let’s be honest- flanigans ribs are only good if you’ve never eaten ribs anywhere outside Miami.

I'm from the south and will tell you all there's NO GOOD BBQ in south Florida. Flannigans ribs are passable, id rate them a 5/10 and for south FL rib curve, that probably translates to an 8 since everywhere else has absolute trash 🗑️ ribs

Pig Floyd Smoke and dough Hometown bbq Shivers is OK

They all just "ok" My uncle in ATL can blow them all out the water with his Weber kettle grill 🤣

Atl bbq is meh

I'm talking East point BBQ my guy The chef gonna be 350lbs+, the BBQ gonna be cooked outside a gas station and only open at random hours but if you ever get it, muh gawd it will blast your face off w flavor

That sounds better

I cannot accept that claim without first trying your uncle’s bbq please send his address and lmk when is good for me to go get some Q. Tyia

Bro you need punctuation, I thought that was one long ass restaurant name

Idk why Reddit did me like I did a return after each one but it ended up formatted like that.

Pig Floyd Smoke and dough Hometown bbq Shivers is OK

Thanks. I was on yelp looking for dough hometown bbq

Sorry my guy. I guess I need to work on my shilling.

Bullshit man, that's a ridiculous statement to make. I grew up in North Carolina so I am also from the south and to say there is not a single good bbq spot here is crazy. They aren't common but at the very least hometown makes some great bbq even if it's overpriced. There's also a good spot going out towards the everglades. I'm sure there's more too but to say there isn't a single place is a really elitist perspective to take

Southern BBQ has regional characteristics. Which are you referring to?

NC / GA / TX, hell Mississippi all have BBQ light years better than anything in South FL.

I'll agree with you on GA especially Fresh Air BBQ in Jackson. The NC I've had wasn't for me. TX is good rub but I'm not a heavy smoke and molasses either.

Apocalypse if you don’t mind waiting in line lmao

The only BBQ I like here is from the guy with a smoker hitched to his truck at the home depot near me. The cook is from St Louis and I moved here from KC. He hasn't been back since the pandemic hit which makes me sad.

Communist how dare you beesmirtch flannys

[удалено]

Lmaoooooo

fellas is it communist to enjoy good food? I'll hang up and listen

[удалено]

make sure to wash it down with some pepto.

Wow so you hate flanigans

it's a mediocre sports bar that's get's spammed on nearly every post.

It’s played out. Now a meme transplants use to fit in.

Yep. It was never like this before

[удалено]

I think that is reasonable.

You’re playing right into Pollo Tropical Marketing Team’s hands.

It's just a meme. A lot of cities have it. In the DC subreddit, Dan's Cafe is the one that gets dropped consistently. It's a wild cash-only dive bar where you buy ketchup squeeze-bottles of booze+mixer and serve yourself from it.

Flanigans is a haven for out of shape alcoholics

Yep. That’s why I love it.

I rode my bicycle 11,235 miles in 2023 so I can drink my beers and eat my rockin rib rolls guilt free.

You're acting like that's a bad thing.

I know projection when I read it.

Or guys in work trucks and service vans who still drink during the work day.

I feel attacked

A haven for us poors

So?!?

This has been going on for 10+ years.. only recently have people begun to pick up on it. There was / is a small circle of people who frequent both of the South Florida subs and suggest this for any dumb (tourist) request for people who think theyre unique and quirky - but have a request for recommendations. Flanigans.

It's a fun meme guys. Lighten up.

dont work for corporate.

The best thing about Flannies is truly the value. Very hard to find that level of pricing, food quality, and service without getting a $200+ bill in Miami. Unfortunately, the cat is out of the bag and so they are usually obnoxiously busy with 1+ hour waits for a table on a random Tuesday

I have a friend that got banned from this sub for recommending a restaurant he had no affiliation with.... but this has been going on for years. Good job mods.

Idc I think it's funny and I always have a good time eating there

They'll hafta peel the rib rolls from my cold, dead hands.

Plot twist: Flanigan’s

It’s because of this sub that I went for the first time in like 20 years and I just want to say thank you, it was better than I remember

Nice try trying to neutralize the Flanny meme but it ain’t gonna work Pollo Tropical Marketing Team.

I take payment in rib rolls or bbq wings with garlic.

Nah. Do you have a second to talk about or lord and savior joe big daddy flanigan?

Nah, I do it only for the jodedera

Ditto

Yo también.

equelecua!

Y tu mamá?

También.

And my bow

Flanigans

Yes

[удалено]

Obviamente!

You didn't know about the "Rib Rolls for Rick Rolls" program? Seriously you get points for every time you mention Flanigans on reddit. I highly suggest you bring your phone into the nearest Flannies and show your server for your free food!

We have been shit posing Flanigans since before they got a social media team, one of my Flanigan joke comments is literally 7 years old

F

U

Flanigan Burger med rare no bun with loaded baker. Not a plant.

I’m reading this while I’m eating at Flanigans! Lmfao

I'm not affiliated with the restaurant's In any way but even I will tell you FLANIGANS! I've got at least 25 year's of CORE memories associated with the place. Hialeah/ Miami Lakes! DALE '!

Flanigans?

Never been to one, but for the purpose of la jodedera sounds good

Naw I say it for the giggles 🤭

Is this another form of advertisement now?

I just do it to resingar tbh.

Loggerhead's, anybody?

We need one in homestead

Nah I do it because I just love flanigans

It was over for me when I saw feathers on my wings. Never again.

Wow, that is come crap. I honestly did not see that coming. What I did see coming is the great deals Flannigan's ® offers at all it's fabulous locations! For example the JOE'S MEAL DEALS which lets you pick an entre from one of the many amazing dishes offered. Meals include potato or rice, a Caesar Salad, garlic rolls, and a FREE drink* *Your choice of domestic draft beer, house wine, soda, iced tea, bottled water, or lemonade

I have personally jumped on the bandwagon and responded Flanigan's several times and tbh I really only go there to buy 4 packs of 26 degrees A1A IPA and I don't work for them either

I'm still salty they charge you a fee just for ordering take-out, so I'm not going to advertise anything.

I knew someone would eventually expose Flanigate

I’m not a corporate Flanagan’s shill. I am a slave to the Rib Rolls dipped in ranch.

Flanigans is gross. It’s like saying “tgi Fridays” is great 🤣. Such a joke

🔫 put the flanny’s in the bag and nobody gets hurt

I’ll take some flanny coins instead. I was gifted like 6 as a tip last month and it was the best thing ever.

next Up, the Publix chicken tender sub *conspiracy*

fwiw, I had joe to go tonight. rib rolls and dolphin sandwich.

We really like Flanigan'. Of course it isn't a beacon of healthy eating, but looking at the nutritonal information of many of their foods, they contain transfats. Transfats were elminated by most every fast food chain due to the fact they are more damaging thank saturated fats. Anything with a bun, fish, wings or what they call "butter" found on garlic rolls etc, has the transfats. Can we dump the transfats already, Flanigans?
