| - We stay at the Flamingo every year, and while the hotel itself continues to slide down from its days as a decent place (when it was owned by Hilton), this coffee shop still delivers - it used to be called Lindys. The french onion soup is spot on; I had the monster BLT along with it. My son always gets the fruit plate, which is crammed with berries, watermelon, melon, pineapple, etc., which in my drinkin days would have been great for a hangover. Wife got the Reuben, which was thick, but she didn't like the sauerkraut for some reason. Couple of tips, ask to sit at the counter (if its not full), you'll get swift dedicated service. And coffee/drinks are EXPENSIVE here ($3.50), just get water.
Past experience has been that table service has been spotty, but I haven't had any of the negative experiences noted in other reviews. Portions are generous, decent food, reasonable prices.
Whatever you do, don't eat across the hall at the dreadful Paradise Garden Seafood buffet.
I give it 4 stars because it does what it is supposed to do: be a coffee shop.
