| - My dad imparted upon me what was honestly probably the best culinary advice that I've ever been given. Granted, I was probably 10 years old and easy to impress, but it sticks with me, nonetheless.
Dad: When you're at a new restaurant, always order a hamburger. If a place can cook a really great burger, they can cook anything.
Me: Wow, Dad. You're the best.
Okay, so I put a bit of a "Leave it to Beaver" spin on this, but for the most part. It's true. (Although as a surly 10 year old, I probably said something clever like, "Eh, whatever.")
While traveling to visit friends in the Cuyahoga Falls area, we decided to go see if all the "Oh, you have to visit Hudson!" talk was warranted. (Sidenote, it was! We loved Hudson at large.)
So after shopping in some fairly cutesy stores with some really great personalities, we were getting hungry. A local shopowner suggested trying Flip Side, and said that at 11:20, it was probably early enough for us to get in and not wait.
Thank you, shopkeep. We got the last table with no waiting.
The decor was nondescript. It wasn't terrible by any stretch, but there's nothing exciting going on in here when it comes to decor.
Not that it needed to be.
See, I have this theory. While ambience absolutely *does* matter to me in a dining experience, some pretty beautiful restaurants I've visited have had pretty abysmal food. Alternatively, like Flip Side, the stars of this restaurant were the servers and the food.
I'll just say it - the Flip Side burger with its cheese, bacon, and balsamic onions - was the best burger that I have ever had. Ever. Seriously.
The burger was just cooked to perfection - it was slightly pink inside, but not so pink it made me wonder about picking up food cooties. Those balsamic onions were unique, different, and not overcooked - they weren't clear, and they weren't too crispy. They were just perfect. The bacon was thick, the cheese was too, and overall it was really good.
The sweet potato fries - as they can often be - seemed a little heavy, and a little greasier than I would prefer, but I've come to believe that this may just be the nature of the beast.
Our server was attentive, and while the place was packed, he still managed to pay close attention to our table and those around us.
Flip Side was a really great lunch experience, but I would certainly suggest that you should probably plan on waiting unless you're there during off-peak times.
