| - I completely agree with previous reviewers complaining about the overpriced beer. However, I've come to realize that the beer prices at Flip Side are the necessary entry fee to pay in order to access the main event, in all its glory. Kinda like popcorn at the movies. It does help, though, that the beer selection happens to be great - both White Rajah and Head Hunter on tap. Find me another place in NE Ohio offering those two heavyweights in draught format.
The main event, of course, is the burger patties, which are done in true contemporary food enthusiast style on a flat top grill so that the high quality, hight fat content ground beef can caramelize in its own juices. That's pretty much all you need to know. The patties are so expertly seasoned and seared that it really doesn't matter what else they put on it - caramelized onions, bleu cheese, fried onion rings, bacon, habanero spread, etc etc - it's a juicy flavor explosion without equal ( for the record, it's also a very rich and heavy eating experience, so be careful about how many of those tempting appetizers you splurge on...sharing fries or tempura asparagus and mushrooms with another person works just fine) . There is a downside to these burgers, though. In your Post Flip Side world, you will find that most other pub-style burgers, especially those cooked on a grill where the juices drip into the fire and disappear forever, will inevitably disappoint.
