Flamingo Restaurant & Lounge

Good food for a family restaurant that had a long history
Went for brunch here for the first time in 15 or more years. Service was good, food was good for a family restaurant and the ambiance is what you would expect from a restaurant of its age and style.
It’s noted as a steak and pizza place, but also does breakfast and brunch.
This place was packed!
We both had omelettes and both were good. We would definitely come back.

I came here a couple times last week on a friend’s recommendation.
This is a typical family style private restaurant.
I came here for lunch and supper with a friend. The first time I had their pepperoni and mushroom pizza, it was very good and tasty. Although it took about 15 minutes to arrive, I suppose good pizza takes a bit to prepare. It wasn’t anything special, but was thick and cheezy and hit the spot for lunch.
The second time I had their donair and fries. The donair was ok but there wasn’t enough meat in it, so I wouldn’t have it again. My friend had their BBQ quarter chicken with mashed potatoes. He asked for gravy on the side and it came on top of the potatoes — not a huge deal, but still. The chicken was very average as there was more bone than chicken.
As for the coffee, it is undrinkable and weak, definitely a not recommend, go for the ice tea it is a bit better.
The service was a bit on the slow side, and they don’t have wifi or wireless debit terminal, you have to get up and pay near the door.
The clientele is definitely older as both times there were lots of seniors, so I supposed the wifi is not a high demand service there, but will keep me from coming in at busy times.
Overall, this place is just «ok», a nice change from a chain. They have been there for many years so they must have a few dishes that are good. I will try a pasta dish next time to see if it is worth coming back for after that.

Went to the Flamingo South-​side on Saturday night around 7:00pm. Been to this location many times before. Always a great meal.
Great place for families.

A very nice breakfast, service was average, yet friendly.
Great homestyle cooking for Sunday morning’s.
Their hollandaise sauce is very good.
A nice place instead of the typical «chain» restaurants.

Baba & Gido friendly. Flamingos is actually one of my favourite Baba & Gido friendly restaurants because the menu is varied and has stuff I like too.
Try the souvlaki, Mediterranean lasagna or salmon. Or pizza if you’re so inclined (I think its nothing special but it’s better than Pizza Hut or Pizza 73).
For Baba & Gido, there’s fish & chips, chicken fingers, club house sandwiches, veal cutlet etc. Gido likes the fries but I don’t (disclaimer — I don’t actually like fries very much so don’t take my word for it).
The soups are usually not very good. They tend to be starchy and not very interesting. Since I love soup, I judge restaurants by their soups so this is a problem for me. Try asking for a side salad instead.
Service is usually quite good so be sure to have some extra loonies in case you need to add something to Baba & Gido’s tip (in case of emergency under tipping situations).
