This is a small diner with big personality. The staff were all amazing, service was incredibly fast, the kitchen was also incredibly fast. The atmosphere is very key west vibes and the flamingo art was so cute. I got the stuffed banana French toast and unfortunately didnt get a picture because it was so amazing I ate it before I thought to take one. Everyone absolutely loved their meals and the waitress. 10/10. Thank you!

First time at Flamingo Diner, and we weren’t sure what to expect — but wow, we were impressed!
This diner gets a big thumbs up from us — it’s AWESOME!
Our waitress, Wendy, went above and beyond with her service. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every employee we interacted with was friendly and welcoming.
We’ll definitely be spreading the word to our family and friends, and we can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed ourselves The food was tasty flavorful and delicious. I got the grilled chicken and a warm pita. It was so good. I’ve definitely recommend that. Also, if you’re allergic to dairy like I am, you can get it without any cheese. It was a little noisy in there, but otherwise we enjoyed the food and we would recommend this place.

I enjoyed the flavors of the food! Starting with the Cream of Turkey Soup! Which really tastes like Chicken Potpie !!! Absolutely delicious! I tried one of the Specials of the day, the Chicken BLT and I loved how they toasted the wrap! My boyfriend got the Clam Strips meal which were also good however I’m guessing was the bottom of the bag and all so very small leaving not much clam. Hints the 4 stars. Service was phenomenal and everyone was very pleasant. Nice quiet place for a scrumptious meal!!!

Stopped in for breakfast and had a decent experience. Prices were lower than expected. Our waitress was clearly busy but still pleasant. Food came out quickly and tasted fine.

Because of the name of that place I decided to step by and try their food. I took Hawaiians omelette and meat lovers omelette. Both were great. Taste and delicious, portions were big, can’t finish my plate. They have a lot of good stuff here so everyone will find something. Nice quiet place to eat your breakfast. And cherry on top SERVICE. Didn’t remember name that lady but she made my day. Tall, slim lady with black hairs and dark colored lips. Thank you for great service. Definitely recommend this place and will return on my next vacation.

Best diner in Stuart and I think we’ve been to them all. I like everything I have ever ordered but it’s the Home Fries that keep me coming back. There’s just something about a high quality breakfast potato that makes my plate and Flamingo does them right.

If someone has been in the choke & puke (diner) business for roughly 40 years, one would think the food would be at least passable. Initially opened in 1983 as the Flamingo Restaurant, it became what some would consider a local landmark after 25 years in the community. The owner, Angelo, moved back to Michigan, opened another restaurant, and stayed around for 15 years. Those upper Midwest winters eventually get the best of most of us, so Angelo moved back to FL, chilled for a few years, then opened this joint.
My server in this incarnation of Flamingo was humorless and sported what I conjectured to be an Eastern European accent. Upon inquiring, she informed me she was, indeed, from that part of the globe, specifically Moldavia. Score one for the Big Boy! I wasn’t feeling at ease between the obvious former Stasi Agent here on prisoner exchange, the Pepsi products and the Sysco biscuits (I asked). Had I been an ailurophile, I certainly would have been missing my feline friend. I managed to finagle an order for Uncle Angelo’s Big Breakfast without having to show any papers (though I know she was dying to demand to see them). I asked Agent Natalia if Uncle Angelo was still around and she barked, “No! No, Uncle Angelo!”
He may be a myth, but Natalia soon brought his “Big” Breakfast, consisting of two pancakes, two eggs, and two slices of bacon, from yonder kitchen. She plopped it in front of me and, with a stern glance, moved on to attend to her other duties. As you can clearly see from the pictures, Uncle Angelo’s Big Breakfast wasn’t all that big (that’s what she said). It was, however, inedible.
The griddle cakes were akin to the powder puff bakery item of the Three Stooges; the bacon was of the lowest possible grade to still be considered fit for human consumption, and I did manage to get it down. My over-medium eggs were so poorly cooked that it begs the question if I got a trainee line cook (I did not).
The Big Boy says, “Very bad. if you do come, make sure to bring ‘zee papers’! But seriously, skip this dining disaster masquerading as a diner.”
