Flippin’ over Flipster’s

You can’t miss it. It’s the one with the life sized ceramic cow standing guard.

This unique burger joint has more than just your ordinary burger. Flipster’s offers every kind of meat from beef, bison, and lamb to salmon, tuna, and chicken. Don’t like meat? No problem! While I was there I indulged on the zero burger ($8) that was to die for. It consisted of a gigantic breaded portabella mushroom that was topped with provolone cheese and caramelized onions. I also had a taste of the fried calamari (which was fried to perfection and not greasy at all), onion rings, and shoestring french fries. All delightful.

On one side of our table was the grill where all the burgers were made, and on the other was a great view of the sidewalk. Seeing the cooks do their thing along with some great people watching added to the entertainment of the night. However, if you’re not as lucky as we were, Flipster’s also has a bunch of flat screen televisions throughout the restaurant just in case there’s a lull in the conversation.

Flipster’s is affordable and the service is speedy. Their off peak menu (11-noon, 5pm-6pm, 11pm-midnight) has a variety of items all for only $5 each, and their brunch (Sat and Sun 11am-3pm) is only $7. Now you may ask yourself.. “Brunch? At a burger place?” And the answer is “Heck Yes!” They offer the normal breakfast stuff as well as the Breakfast Burger; a 4 oz burger with ham, cheese, and a fried egg.

They offer outside dining as well if fresh air is what you wish.
