| - I stopped in to Flip Side tonight and am a little disappointed to be giving them such a low rating. There were some elements that were great. But some just were not.
Pros:
Nice location in Old River
Ability to join the waitlist via Yelp on busy days
Diverse menu-- burgers, mac, sandwiches, pizza, etc.
Unique menu items-- the burgers in particular are superbly unique (some burgers come with toppings like peanut butter, crispy shallots, short rib, and more)
Attentive and friendly server who refilled drinks promptly
I loved the toppings on my One Red door burger and thought it was a unique topping for a burger that tasted delicious.
Cons:
Way overpriced. My burger was $11 dollars for just the burger. To add on a side of fries was $4+ dollars more depending on your fry type.
Food took way too long to come out for an early Friday night when the restaurant wasn't full
Our starter (the kobe beef corn dogs) came out with our meal instead of as a starter (not sure if there was some miscommunication here)
Burger not cooked appropriately. I asked for medium and it was cooked medium well to well-- no pink at all.
Truffle fries were just so so. Most of the truffle oil was on the very top few fries. As you worked your way down, it got less and less flavorful. Most of my truffle fries were also not a complete fry and just a one inch end piece, like i had been given the bottom of the bag or something.
Bun on my burger was not good. It was a basic sesame seed bun in which the sesame seeds were a little burnt. Additionally, for such a gourmet and unique burger, the bun just seemed too traditional and didn't quite match the rest of the burger. I feel like something like ciabatta bread, etc. would have been a better fit.
It is super loud in this restaurant, so not a great place for a conversation.
I may stop in again and give them another try because their burger fix-ins were so delicious. I had my eye on the short-rib burger but the One Red Door burger won out. However, it definitely won't be high on my list to revisit.
