| - In this world of over-commercialised chain restaurants, bland clone food and depressingly similar menus it is a refreshing thing indeed to come across a place like Flancer's. Nothing fancy, no hughty attitudes, no faux ideals just really good food served by really friendly people plus some of the best music ever pressed in vinyl!
Sandwiches, salads, pizza and calzones along with wonderful wings and other things are really the entire menu. But the execution is flawless.
We have begun with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Bread and the Beer Battered Mozzerella Chees Triangles. Both are worth the trip. The bread is "Flancer's Bread" made fresh everyday right there. It is the same bread that all of Flancer's delightful sandwiches are served on and is so good that you won't leave any crusts behind. The cheese is a unique take on a bar food favorite and is served with a chipotle marinara sauce that was so good I wanted to poor it on everything.
The salads are all available in either small or large formats, but be warned; only the very hungry or an exhibishist eater is going to finish a large salad in one sitting. They are HUGE! We decided on small salads next time. But size is nothing without taste, and Flancer's salads are worth every penny. The "Tenderloin is the Night" salad is a wonderful creation with greens, marinaded roma tomatoes, crumbles of gorgonzola cheese, croutons and grilled beef tenderloin. Add in thier homemade gorgonzola dressing and you have art in a bowl.
The sandwiches are as varied as they are delicious, the flagship is the Chile Verde Birdie, a turkey sandwich that knows no peer! Freshly roasted turkey breast sliced from the bone, provolone, lettuce, tomato and an out of this world New Mexican green chile mayo, on that awsomely tasty Flancer's Bread!
My personal favorite is the Parmesana Nirvana Chicken that is everything you would expect and then some. But here's a tip; ask you waiter to serve it with Flancer's chipotle marinara instaed of the regular marinara (which is wonderful, but I like the kick in the chipotle!) and you'll get a hot, cheesy, spicy delight of a sandwich. Extra napkins are highly recommended!
If you decide on fries you've made a wise choice as these seasoned crispy lovelys are on the list of best fries anyplace. Hot and tender with just a touch of spice, and unlike other sandwich shops they stay hot. (Or maybe we ate them so fast they didn't have time to get cold.) Either way they were great. Tip; ask for a side of Flancer's Gorgonzola Dressing to dip the fries in, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this!
We have not yet tried thier pizzas, but if the calzones are any indicator, (and they usually are), you'll never call Pizza Hut again! The calzone we had was the "Nice to Meat You" which is a carnivor's delight. Pepperoni, sausage, ham and ground beef with an extra helping of cheese! Serve with a side of marinara, (or even the chipotle marinara!) and you have enough food for 3 or 4 average people, or 2 really hungry ones! Wonderful!
Also found on the menu are a number of burgers, pasta dishes, soups and desserts. All of which we have not got to try yet, but we are patiently working through the menu and have found nothing to be disappointed in yet.
Truely it is wonderful to be saying "so long" to the rubberstamped restaurant clones of America and discovering little gems like Flancer's Cafe! Chain restaurants may be fine, but in these troubled economic times I do not want to receive "average" for my hard earned money. Why settle for bland when for the same price you can have "outstanding"?!

Just after the beginning of 2009 the owner at Flancer's Cafe did something unprecedented in the land of small business, he LOWERED his prices!!! Even more oddly the portion sizes have not change one iota nor has the quality of the food changed, only his margin.
What a terrific thing to do for us customers in these lean financial times!
