    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.

They've definitely remodeled since the last time we were here , we ordered the many bean soup and matzo ball soup and shared a corned beef sandwich , the coleslaw and pickles were fantastic everything was great , fast and clean our server Jessica was very bubbly and a great server . Will definitely come back .

    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.

Cons: First thing I did was use the restroom which had a horrible smell and the toilet needed cleaning. The service was good at first then fell off after we ordered our food- which was strange because it was not busy at all. We ordered the screwdriver & peach Bellini to drink. 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.

One of the last few vestiges of original Jewish deli culture in SoFL that remains. Rachel and I shared an "Ultimate BLT" ($17) and a fruit salad ($5). Good diner coffee ($4 each, large mugs with refills). I love the complimentary coffee cake; it is nice and moist. Rachel believes it is oil or margarine-based. Fruit salad was good, with a nice mix of melon, grapes, strawberries, pineapple, and blueberries. BLT is on a white flour-dominant rye bread with caraway, and I didn't love it--a few slices of bacon. The avocado was smashed like avocado toast. The bread was broken and torn when cut, and the presentation was lousy. As a benchmark, the BLT at Dyan's in Coral Springs blows it away. We did not order bagels, they are $2 each, $3 for flagels and $1 for minis. $25 a bakers dozen. That is INSANE, among the highest bagel prices I've seen locally (I think H&H in Boca is slightly more) We only got a few to go. If you order one at the table it is $4. I didn't bother with the deli; it was all commercial Carnegie stuff. Meh. Likely a one and done with this place.

Three stars because the service was good and the food was acceptable, but neither the pancakes nor the atmosphere gave me a reason to be excited about coming back.
