This place is a local chain that is fairly dependable and reasonably priced. The Flamingo location, like all the others, gets busy from 9-12 on the weekends. But even during those busy times there is never an uncomfortable wait.
They have a crew of experienced waitresses, but lately they have been training new waitresses during those busy times. This of course leads to some missteps, but it's never a huge inconvenience. And the waitresses are always nice.
There was a menu shift a few years ago and Blueberry Hill revamped their menus at every location. They started offering more selections. It seemed to be an effort at competing with some of the national chains. Suddenly there were big laminated books filled with pictures of Chocolate Oreo Pancakes and Chilaquiles. I stay away from the Mexican food on the breakfast menu. It's OK at best.
Overall the quality of some of their dishes seemed to suffer a bit as a result of the changes. Hubby says the chicken fingers and ham steak have declined in the last few years. The omelets and combos are still solid. I stick with my standby, the Waitress Special (eggs, waffle, and bacon or sausage). Their waffle is a tasty surprise. I've never been unhappy with it.
On Sundays there is often a kid out front selling the local paper. Even if you don't buy a paper from him, he holds the door for you. I haven't seen him for a while; I hope he's still around.
POSITIVE CHANGE: They carry Twinings Tea now. That might not impress tea lovers, but it's a huge step up from the Lipton they've been carrying for years.
IN RETROSPECT: This hasn't been a positive review in the traditional sense. But it is a positive review. They are open 24 hours. I know what I'm going to get at Blueberry Hill. The wait is never long. The waffles are good. And the people are pleasant. In spite of the changes, I still like it here.
