Flanigan’s Shenanigans
Flanigan’s has terrific nightly specials. And they’re all designed to get you to buy beer.
Monday: buy a pitcher, get a huge plate of nachos. Free.
Wednesday: buy a pitcher, get an order of wings. Free.
Every night after 10: buy a pitcher, get an order of wings. Free.
You can see why a bunch of broke-as-shit grad students ISO beer would come here. Buy beer, get free stuff. It just makes economic sense.
Aside from that, Flanigan’s is a South Florida chain, with South Floridian items like dolphin fingers/sandwiches, black beans and rice, dulce de leche (albeit as cheesecake) and key lime pie on the menu.
Even though they’re a chain, the food is at least two or three notches above that found at Chili’s or TGI Friday’s: they use fresh fish, and it seems that the food is actually made in-house, not made at some central distribution center and then shipped to restaurants. There’s also a very diverse menu, capable of satisfying herbivores and omnivores alike.
The desserts aren’t bad, particularly the Shenanigan… just make sure to have a few broke-ass friends to share it with. And the waiters aren’t too shy of management to make the birthday girl a special whipped cream birthday “treat” tableside.
If you’re looking for great, fresh, authentic South Florida cuisine, you might want to spend a little more elsewhere. But if you’re looking to eat, don’t want to spend too much, and don’t want standard chain fare, or just want free stuff with your beer, give Flanigan’s a shot.
