Pink Flamingo

My husband, who is often crabby about dining out, is usually okay about eating here because we can sit outside and he can partake in a smoke or two while I have a breakfast and a couple of mimosas if I'm feeling fancy...or something else from the full bar which offers a selection of creative cocktails and comfy chairs outside. I can't say I have ever eaten inside but the decor is cool is you enjoy looking at big pink birds with spindly legs and it's clean and neat (which I like to see in any place that serves food).The vegan options are great. I haven't tried them but my vegans friends say they are edible....and they simply appreciate seeing options for them on a menu in a "regular" restaurant. I have only had breakfast there and while they menu is quite frankly, lackluster, it is certainly tasty offerings and available whenever they are open. Also, every time I have been here, without fail, the servers have been pretty awesome--friendly, welcoming, accommodating. That kind of thing should be standard in a dining establishment but it isn't in many places. Here, it is. All in all, a nice little joint to chill for some food and cocktails, especially if you are married to a cranky person. HA!

Dinner here. Meat loaf with potatoes gravy. Added a side of broccoli. Happy ending with carrot cake. Very pleasant young server. Enjoyable meal.

What a fun spot but what's going on here? It's part cool 50s diner car, part swamp house patio fish camp bar, and part mini golf. Lots going on here.Five (5) star hospitality, first and foremost. Everyone's super friendly helpful and nice; and our waitress was Awesome.So the food, not so good. My burger was okay for an obviously frozen patty but the bun was on its way out, bacon was rubbery, and someone forgot the pickles. The tempeh Reuben was also sloppy and mostly sauerkraut and dressing. Bleh. Meh. And the Hot Flowers, they're basically cauliflower bites, were mostly small crunchy bits of batter in a mild sauce. While the onion rings were excellent, they're only sold by the basket and not as a side as are the fries which is a bit of an unnecessary extra money grab at $8 a pop given the burgers are sold à la cart.Food was a solid two rounded up by excellent hospitality and fun factor.

What a cute place to visit in High Springs and they even have putt putt golf. They have an extensive vegan menu as well as all the regular delicious comfort foods. My vegan friends ordered the hippie hash and the chili and they loved it. We ordered a Classic Burger with fries and a turkey reuben with homemade chips. Both were great and came out quite promptly. Our server, Sheryl was great and attentive. Will definitely eat here again when in the area.

A cute spot that is perfect for families with kids! The Pink Flamingo is a retro dinner with A LOT of curb appeal! There's beautiful murals outside and so many cute spots to take pictures. The inside looks like an old fashioned dining car, and outside they have an attached patio with a bar, propane fire pits, stage, and giant blocks and games for kids to play with. We loved being able to eat while our kids played within eyesight. The menu is very diverse with a range of apps, sandwiches, burgers, and entrees to suit every taste. They also only cook with non-GMO sunflower/olive/avocado/coconut oils! It's easy to see on the menu what items are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. They also have a nice kids menu with all of the staples.I've only been here a few times now, and the food has been decent. I wouldn't come here just for the food, it's the entire experience that rounds it out. The pricing is pretty high for what you get, but after a long day at the springs or camping with friends, it's a nice place to go out. The first time I went I had the Santa Fe burger with a side of blue cheese fries and it was good. My husband also had a plain cheeseburger but didn't like it that much, and he ordered a milkshake that was also lackluster. Second time around he got the chicken parmesan and I had the stack (tuna app) and the blue cheese chips app. His food was just average, good not bad but not great. The stack would've been better if the avocado was ripe and the tomato wasn't watery. The blue cheese chips are good but $12? It was a better deal adding them to my burger. We ordered our son the kids hot dog and he ate some but he was honestly having too much fun to eat. I would definitely come back again, but I hope I find something on the menu that I really love to make it the full package!

It was time for a ride, and what better way to break up that ride than to get some lunch at a diner in the area. Riding through High Springs, it turned out to be time for the Pioneer Days festival that they hold every year. However, the main goal was lunch...The Pink Flamingo Diner has changed over the years. There is now a mini-golf outfit behind the diner, and the patio areas have been improved significantly. For it being a Sunday afternoon, I was surprised that there were no bikes in the lot. There is covered parking for a half dozen bikes, so they do expect them, but it looks like they have changed the place in such a way as to be more family friendly. No problem for me, I prefer it this way.I managed to snag a table out on the patio, as the weather is still relatively mild for Florida. Another month and it is going to be too hot out there for me.Wait staff came by and took my order, and shortly my order came out. For an appetizer I decided to try out the cheeseburger eggrolls, and for my main the seafood platter with fries and corn.The cheeseburger egg rolls were a bit of a disappointment for me, but part of that is on me. I am not a fan of yellow mustard on things, and these came covered in it. Unfortunately there is no real description on the menu of exactly how these things are constructed and what they come with, so I wasn't aware of the mustard in the first place. Just a simple description on the menu would have fixed this problem, and I could have ordered it without mustard.The seafood platter was good... butterfly shrimp and fried fish, and the fish was nice and flaky. Nice dish. The fries were decent as well. The corn? Oh dear... I didn't know you could mess up whole kernel corn placed in a ramekin, but they managed to do it. Corn straight out of a can, uncooked, tastes better than what this was like. I couldn't tell if they had simply overcooked the corn into next week or if it had just been sitting in a container on the warming rack for the last three days, but something was just not right with this corn.My final thoughts on this... go for the fish, don't bother with the corn.

This little place is a must see. Do try their food as it is superb! This one hits all the right places on the diner experience! It is perfect. Many vegan options that are not plastic food, too. The wait staff are hilarious fun so don't fail to interact with them. I had the rubber sandwich and it was spectacular!

My son suggested going to dinner at the pink flamingo yesterday. I was somewhat hesitant because I had heard a lot of bad things about this restaurant. I had heard that it used to be really good and then with the new owner it had gone downhill. But my son told me that some of the people that he works with had said that it seems to be improving. So we went! I have to say it's a really cute place, kind of like an old-fashioned Diner with 50s music playing. I think they have a bar outside but I didn't go out there, so I can't really comment on that. I did see a drink menu and it seems like an average price for a cocktail was around $10. Some of them sounded really good and maybe next time I go back I will try one. The hostess was very friendly as well as our waitress. I ordered a Philly cheese steak with fries, and my son ordered a cheeseburger with an egg on it, and cheese curds instead of french fries. The food came out pretty quick and we were not disappointed. The servings were very generous and I could only eat half of my Philly cheese steak, so I took that home with me. Everything was hot and fresh. Our waitress was attentive without hovering. I have to say that we will go again sometime soon, as we do live in High Springs. I was pleasantly surprised with our visit to the Pink Flamingo, maybe things really are getting better with them. Time will tell, right?

Got burgers. They were meh. Not good. Not bad. The homemade chips they came with were gross.

This is a really upbeat fun place. I wouldn't say it's romantic but it is still in my opinion a great place to meet up with friends and family. After dinner they have a marvelous Miniature Golf 19 hole golf course it's is a complete blast!! The food is delicious too! I had the seasoned grilled salmon steak and double chocolate fudge cake and ice cream dessert, YumYum is all I can say!Price is fairly reasonable but well worth it. My husband celebrated his 70th birthday here and the waitresses. Came out with a piece of cake and sang Happy Birthday loads of fun!!!!
