    Holy Cannoli Pancakes
    Kelly G.

    The food was just okay. The pancake was dry and even with the cannoli cream it was still lacking something. The waitress was friendly and fast however we were the only table in there at 3pm on a Thursday. The decor is just diner view.

    What I ordered , what was upsold to me without my knowledge
    Luna L.

    Let me start by saying that customer experience is everything. I've been visiting Flashback Dinner for the past 10 years, and it's always been one of my favorite spots for traditional American food. As an Aventura resident, I've been a loyal patron, dining there at least 3 times a month. However, something has changed over the past 6 months, and the customer service has gone downhill. But what happened today was simply unacceptable. I arrived with my daughter for lunch and was assigned a server named Olga, who seemed more annoyed to be serving us than anything else. When I asked about the lunch or daily specials (which have always been delicious), she snapped at me with a straight, "NO, WE DON'T HAVE," and turned her back on us. The restaurant temperature was freezing--a chilling 52°, making it impossible to sit comfortably. We were literally shivering. When Olga returned to take our order, I asked for the ossobuco. Her response? Another curt, "NO, WE DON'T HAVE IT." I took a deep breath and tried to find something else on the menu. I decided on the Tres Amigos Steak Bowl--one of my all-time favorites that I don't even need to look at the menu to order. I ordered one for myself and one for my daughter. Olga, once again rolling her eyes, said, "WE DON'T HAVE THE MEDALLIONS. Just ribeye." While I didn't mind the substitution, I also ordered a side of truffle fries. Guess what? "WE DON'T HAVE IT." At this point, we were freezing and just wanted to eat. But the temperature became unbearable, and the service was so unpleasant that we decided to ask for takeout boxes so we could eat at home. When the check came, I was shocked to see that we had been charged for the Southwest Steak Bowl, which was $10 more per dish than the Tres Amigos Steak Bowl I had ordered. Olga claimed I had "agreed" to this when she told me they didn't have the medallions. Excuse me? If you don't have an item, you should show the alternative on the menu and confirm with the customer--not surprise them with a higher charge on the bill. Miami is notorious for up-charging clients in beauty salons, clubs, and other establishments, but in a restaurant? This is the first time I've experienced it. Olga's body language, arguments, and attitude while saying, "You have to pay," were incredibly unprofessional. Of course, I paid--I'm not a scammer. But in this situation, am I the scammer, or is it the restaurant? To top it off, the complimentary bread and butter, which has been a staple since the Reagan administration, was nowhere to be found. I can't help but wonder where the wonderful gentleman who used to manage this restaurant is. Under his supervision, this would NEVER have happened. I am incredibly disappointed in what Flashback Dinner has become. Loyal customers like me expect far better.

    This spot is convenient and open late. It's on US1 just next to the casino/ Calder race track. Food was average had the Cesar salad and my friend had the burger and was huge! Service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was super quiet and chill considering it was late night. If you're hungry and want a quiet place to eat this would be it!

    This place was so good! Better than IHOP and dennys! The service was absolutely amazing and it's super diner vibes here. We can hear 2 times in our short trip for that late night bite. Everything was so good but that apple pie warmed up with vanilla ice cream was our favorite. Definitely will be back.

    Flashback Diner is located on Biscayne Blvd, right across from Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach. I recommend turning into Flashback from the red light at Gulfstream Park to allow easy entry into the private parking lot at Flashback with plenty of free parking. We dined at Flashback on a weekday evening and were warmly greeted by the hostess and were promptly seated. Our server came by a few minutes later and was very nice and provided us with a warm greeting and offered us suggestions on the menu. We started with a carafe of Chardonnay wine ($27.99) and it was a decent quality for the price. They also provide you with a complimentary loaf of Challah bread to start as well. My husband and I both ordered the meatloaf ($17.99), including two slices of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and a green veggie. The diner had amazing service, and the food was the definition of comfort food. I highly recommend giving it a shot if that's the type of food you're in the mood for. I'm a little puzzled why some of the reviews are so low- so disregard these and definitely give them a try!

    Was at Flashback Diner pretty late in the evening. Eggs, bacon, and pancakes all were good. Waitress was very quick and upbeat. It has a classic Diner vibe. Highly recommend!:)

    I have to say most diners I've been to have very weird tasting eggs - not this place! I had their veggie omelette - it was delicious! I loved the food! The "home fries" could've been better. Overall we were happy with our service and experience. I do plan to be back. I did see several patrons come in on a Sunday afternoon for the meatloaf so may try that entree in the future. Decor is cute and on theme, parking is ample, and place is well kept.

    We came here for dinner with friends. We'd been here many years ago when looking for a place with a variety of options -- to suit everyone's different cravings -- and thought we could do the same this time. We came early and they were not very busy. In any case, we had good service. And there was plenty of parking in their private lot. You can have breakfast here all day. The eggs were cooked as ordered; the sausage links well done; the waffles were light and fluffy. The matzah ball soup was decent. The "ball" itself was huge. It also came with wavy noodles. The broth was flavorful. The spanakopita -- spinach pie -- was a large square with flaky filo. It was served with two large ripe red tomato slices. The Buffalo wings were meaty and only slightly spicy. It was a mix of drums and flats with celery. You got to choose between ranch or blue cheese for your dipping sauce. We were too full for desserts. But they had quite a few appealing cakes, et al, in their display case. Next time, I'd like to try their chicken and waffles or even one of their Benedict's. Good to know they're open whenever you're hungry and in the neighborhood.

    Matzo ball soup
    Beth D.

    Came the to Flashback for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised! I came for lunch and ordered the soup and half sandwich special they offer. I chose the Matzo Ball soup and for my sandwich I chose Tuna. I really enjoyed the soup, it had the right amount of salt and flavor I was looking for. And for my tuna sandwich, it was way bigger than i was expecting, I could barely finish it. Overall I thought the food was really good. Shoutout to Tama for being a wonderful server, she was really sweet and attentive. I would definitely come back and recommend this diner.

    Crispy bacon.

    Dried out corned beef, served on stale rye. The server was very nice, though. Next time in Hallandale, I'll find someplace else.

    We've seen their sign for a couple of years now on Federal heading north between Hollywood and…read moreSheridan. The name never landed with us as it sounded like a standalone food court. It was the sign underneath that read, "Too tired to cook today?" that made us take notice. Looking at the online menu we found that it was not only a who's who of Latin dishes of different nationalities, but they also served bar fare - chicken wings, burgers, quesadillas, etc. Not knowing what their specialty was, we never committed to it. But today was one of those days where we felt like something different and we took a chance. The gamble paid off big. The menu was all over the place, so not knowing what direction to go in, I addressed the waiter who was all too ready to help. He pointed me to some of his faves: the Bandeja Paisa, Lomo Saltado, and Ropa Vieja. I'd had my eye on the Lomo Saltado, a popular Peruvian stir fry dish. The Bandeja Paisa is Colombian, and the Ropa Vieja - Cuban. I asked him what the nationality of the ownership was, when he revealed it was Colombian. I was immediately skeptical of ordering the ropa vieja - being half Cuban, I could not fathom the idea of a Colombian-owned restaurant pulling this off. So Joe took one for the team there. The waiter assured me that everything he has tried has in fact been delectable. But hey, what else is he supposed to say? But no, he assured me these were not marketing words, but words of experience. So I went for the Lomo Saltado which was served with black beans and rice, and french fries. He didn't hesitate to vouch for the black beans... I think he sensed my Colombian skepticism. Joe had replaced his fries for sweet plantains, so I took his cue and substituted my fries for tostones. But, not before warning the waiter that I would be particularly particular about the quality of my favorite plantain dish. He gave me a confident nod - so I played along. Joe's dish came out a few seconds before mine, and being the impatient carnivore that I am, I (let's say borrowed) his ropa vieja before he had a chance to pick up his fork. I was very pleasantly surprised. On par with any old clothes I have tried at any Cuban restaurant... and even better than some, albeit in longer strands than I've experienced. However, extremely juicy, full of flavor and tender. Then came my Lomo. I'm a first-timer, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was fan-tastic. A bit charred outside with a juicy medium innard that cuts like butter, and to my relief, deceivingly tender. The lomo napped on a bed of sautée-charred veggies whose sweetness was a nicely balanced contrast to the savory meat. The black beans were definitely on point and seasoned with Colombian love. And those ten-ton-tostones!!! By far the thickest fried medallions I've had, but with a brutally loud crunch and still a real easy chew. And unlike John Travolta in a black T-Bird jacket, totally Greaseless. Often times, tostones of this variety are tough and as chewable as week-old yellow paper mache. Nope, these are some of the best tostones I've had in a couple of years. But by far the best of their kind. I also borrowed one of Joe's sweet plantations which once again left no trace of greased lightning and were rendered a perfect dark brown with a nice and plush sunshine yellow inside. The portions were more than generous and the price was comfortably modest. I expressed my deepest gratitude to our waiter for his patience and his spot on recommendations. He also swore by their burger which he had just sampled for the first time and which is made partly with Colombian chorizo and served with a side of chimichurri. Chorizo and chimichurri for little cha-ching.... I'm sure I'll be chowing on that real soon. Food Corner is a cornucopia of Latin influences, and so far, it's also a master of two of them. (We were too excited to take photos)

Steak & eggs and the Untoasted breakfast + side of ham. The screwdriver had an odd taste & the ham was extremely soft/squishy/seemed uncooked internally. The steak was not cooked well- but acceptable enough to eat. Our server never checked on us after we got our food which sucks because we needed a few things. A different server ended up walking by much later and asked if we needed help which is when I told her I'd like to send back the ham and screwdriver- both of which I barely took a bite/sip out of. I just told her I didn't like them and she got a bit of an attitude and wanted specifics as to why I didn't like it. I just reiterated i didn't like it and won't be consuming either so please take it back. We finished our food and no one ever came to our table again- while the workers were walking around helping the 5 other tables or talking amongst themselves. After sitting for 15+ minutes with our finished food, I just went to the front and waited for someone to check us out. I don't recommend this place and will not be back.
