Fine Food Found At Flip Flops (This is Danny's place on the beach, it gets great reviews. Here is one recent review.


What we had come for was some good food, and we weren't disappointed. The appetizer list at “Flip Flops” included Jerk Shrimp, Coconut Prawns, Sauteed Calamari and a few other items ranging from $6 - $12 USD. The choice of salads was interesting. There were Cranberry Spring salads, Citrus Soy Salad, Islander Salad, with the proverbial House Salad and Caesar Salad. Main courses Mahi Mahi with Fresh peach Salsa, Tiger Shrimp Satays with Watermelon Pico de Gallo, Chicken Bruschetta, Wild Mushroom Sirloin and others. Prices for the entrees ranged from about $14 - $18 USD. They had two specials for the evening, a steak dish and a fish (grouper) dish each about $20-$22 USD. We noticed they also had individual pizzas on pita bread. Wine, champagne and beer were available along with iced tea, soft drinks and coffee. One friend had the Mahi Mahi with Peach Salsa. I had the Citrus Soy Salad with Mushroom Soup. My other companion had chicken with Pineapple Walnut Risotto. We were all happy with our choices. The dinners were beautifully presented with an edible flower on the plate. The food was excellent! The service was good. The only thing we didn't particularly like was the level of noise in the restaurant. I don't know whether it was just a rowdy bunch of people or what, but it was difficult to hear each other speak above the noise. However, that won't deter us, since we intend to eat here again, probably at lunchtime. Dress ranged from beach casual (shorts and nice polo shirt) to dressy slacks and tops. Hours are 11 am to 10 pm. Reservations accepted. Phone 386-424-0161. Parking is rather limited, but there is a public parking lot just east of the building or if that fails, the parking lot at the shuffleboard court is usually not filled.
