| - Came here with a group of nine on a Thursday. They don't accept reservations, but if you have a large group then you're allowed to call ahead 30 minutes and they will start to think about where to put you. Downside is that even if they have a table ready for you, you're not allowed to be seated until your entire party is there. This is kind of a bad business practice as one in our group had a cast on her foot and was forced to stand in the doorway dodging other patrons until they caved and let us sit down at our table with six of our party there. To be fair to the few that were late, the parking get's filled up fast in the Old River Shopping area and you'll have to circle around a couple times or do like I did and park down the road and walk a little ways to the restaurant.
For the food I got the July burger of the month, I think it was called 3 pigs or something? It had pulled pork, pork belly, ? and coleslaw on it. Although the burger patty seemed a little plain and lacked seasoning, overall the sandwich was good and big enough to share. The burgers are priced at $7.50 for plain and up to $16 for a bison burger with most burgers falling around the $10 mark. The burgers don't come with anything so you'll be set back an additional $4.50-$6.50 for a side of fries or onion rings, but the portions are enough for two. I opted for the sweet potato fries with a horseradish mustard sauce and they were pretty tasty. My dining companions all seemed to enjoy the various burgers they got and we passed around the sides. The onion rings are huge, but I didn't really care for them, they seemed bland. The chili cheese fries were tasty. The truffle fries were okay, but a little too herby and oily for me. Our waitress was pleasant and informative (even showed me a picture of the July burger special on her phone) and I liked the décor (they have those garage door windows that can be pulled up in the summer), only thing is it is really loud in there and it was hard to hear the people at my table talking.
I've been back for the one red door burger and the mac & cheese with BBQ brisket. The mac & cheese came in at $9.50 and looks a little plain and like it is lacking sauce but don't be fooled, I found it to be pretty good. Again with the burger I wasn't that impressed with the meat, but it was good overall. My sweet potato fries were a little well done and salty, but I ate them.
Overall I'd say FlipSide is on the same level as The Rail, Heck's, Jammy Buggars or B-Spot. They all serve a "higher-end" version of the burger with alcohol in the milkshakes and aioli dipping sauces. I'd hit up this place again. Also, the Old River Shopping area is a nice spot to take a stroll after your meal and maybe even get some gelato at Rosso's.
