Always great quality food. Little pricey, but a nice dinner or lunch spot. Broad variety on the menu too. Their grilled chicken sandwich is the best!! read more

Simplle diner decor, but fresh and healthy food, in addition to standards, fish, shrimp, salmon and big fresh burgers served with your choice of creole accent In salad, poboy, or plate form. Cinnamon rolls big enough to share. Take out a available. Quick orders unless peak hours, but never been over 20 minutes. No alcohol. read more

Great variety on the menu. Customer service was great and quality of food was even better. Stopped here for lunch while driving thru and definitely will be back. Grilled Chicken sandwich was very good....and you can never go wrong with homemade fries. read more

Great burgers! Real meat and not that from a Sysco truck! The fries are delicious. It's not fast as they cook to order.

I came there to eat dinner and left with explosive diarrhea. I still have not recovered.

What a fun restauran. Lets talk about a fun restaurant with a variety of options for everyone in your party. they have a wide variety of salads hamburgers fish and seafood. it is beautifully displayed in the deli case. we ordered a salad with grilled chicken. let me make sure you understand the chivken was fresh and grilled with an incredible blend of seasonin. I ordered a hamburger and fries which were just like momma used to make. there re so many other options in which to choose. I can't wait to go back read more

The shrimp are jumbo and they are awsome. The fried and hush puppies are good too. The line to order was long but it moves quickly.

This place is great!!! I've only been here a couple of times, but my dad has been here several times!!! My parents say that the fish tacos are great!!! read more

We go to El Dorado at least once a month. We eat at Flying Burger ever time. Probably not again. Last month we wanted to take cinnamon rolls to go. There were 3 and they were dry looking. Maybe overcooked. We asked for fresh. Told "nope". Not til these are sold. We left. Yesterday our meal was not up to par. Fries looked like scraps. Burger was "ok". Bought 4 cinnamon rolls to bring home. Totally disappointed. Girl had crammed them in to one small container. And there was NO icing as in the past. Looked like a very thin glaze. But not the wonderful icing that has always been. So disappointing for a business to have something great and then change it for some reason. Probably won't stop there again. read more

Hit or miss. Quality control is not a big priority. Sometimes great and sometimes not.

Definitely a great place for food. I had their double burger with all the toppings and cheese. Catfish and chicken basket and ended the night with their cinnamon roll with ice cream. If I lived in El Dorado, I would be very fat lol. Burger was delicious and juicy, the beef was cooked and seasoned nicely. Nice grill on the buns and all the toppings were fresh and crisp. Catfish was really good, light and good breading. Chicken tender is fine, nothing special. Fries are cut fresh and good portion. Cinnamon roll is delicious, not too sweet nor overpowering with cinnamon and vanilla ice cream is Bluebell so I can't complain. Though I wish it was warmer but I hear the cinnamon rolls are made fresh in the morning so I bet that would be the best time to order them. Staff was very friendly even though it was near closing time, I would definitely eat here again if I come back to this city. read more

See all

The food here was fresh and affordable. I am craving a fish basket from Flying Burger right now.

Might be the best hamburger I've ever had. Very impressed with Flying Burger. They have really gotten it right. They have a big selection with several options of seafood, burgers and sandwiches. The boiled shrimp was already peeled, cold, big, meaty and tasty. I highly recommend the #1 with American cheese and mayo. I wish we had one of these close to where I live. Can't wait to go back. read more

2nd business trip eating here. 1st trip I got a cheeseburger, I mean the place has 'burger' in the name! Duh. I don't recall it as superb, but it was a good burger. Hand cut, hot, fresh fries were excellent. 2nd round I got the 4 piece fish filets. I won't be getting the burger again! Hot, perfectly cooked(I added the Cajun seasoning they have at the condiment station)delicious and FAST! Hush puppies are sweet and crispy, same hand cut yummy fries. Earlier today I ate at another fish place in town. It was a 'woody' experience. This...this is good fish. This is why the reviews are so high. The fish. I dub thee: The Flying FISH! read more

What a great burger and fries! I ordered the double burger, fries and drink and the burger was excellent. Very tasty and seasoned very well. A double burger was too much food for me but I ate it anyway since it was so good. Each patty is 6oz read more

The only thing I regret was not getting a cinnamon roll. Being from Little Rock, the menu is very similar to the Flying Fish, but with a larger burger presence. Food came out hot, cooked to order, bonus that they make their own fries, which were excellent. This is an art that is becoming lost with most restaurants as the speed of cooking frozen over the quality of hand cut takes over. Had the catfish and shrimp, but want to go back and try the burger! read more

Awesome place! Great food, great service, and a super clean atmosphere.. Thank you for a little peace of heaven while visiting Arkansas..

I was doing some extensive business travel to El Dorado when someone mentioned this place to me. I drove by it a few times and thought "Oh, another burger place." I finally decided to try it and was quite surprised with what the restaurant actually is...a seafood place! Ok, I initially had a burger just to say I did and it was decent. That was the last time I had a burger at the FB though. The seafood choices are outstanding...with both fried, boiled, and grilled options. Where do I start.... Fried Oysters: These are probably the best ones in the area. They use a cornmeal based coating which is not overdone. One can still taste the oyster and they are still juicy when biting into them instead of being shoe leather which most places do. Grilled Plates (catfish, trout, tilapia, salmon): The trout was a pleasant surprise and is quite tasty (my favorite of the group). The other fish are great as well with a good sized portion. They also include a salad to go with it (I like the balsamic vinaigrette). If they ask regular or spic,y, go with spicy. It really isn't hot, just a few added flavors. They have fried fish options too, but I prefer grilled. Fish tacos: I went with the grilled tilapia. It tasted ok...but something was off. It had cole slaw on top. I do not like cole slaw (personal preference). I ate it anyway. The one thing to note is the HUGE amount of fish. It is maybe 2/3 full of fish and very filling. Next time, I will ask for it without cole slaw. Boiled shrimp: DELICIOUS. They are peel and eat. I went for a whole pound and realized it was too much. I'll know better next time. Poboys: This is one of their low points. Instead of using the proper style bread, they seem to be using sub sandwich buns which anyone can buy in the bread aisle at the grocery store. And the one other detractor....the fries. I don't care much for fries anyway, but these were just blah. BUT, there is a great alternative....NEW POTATOES. They come with a dill cream sauce and are delicious. I ask to substitute fries with new potatoes (2 or 3 depending on how hungry I am). The prices are very reasonable as well ranging $7-14 or so. They even have crab legs (haven't tried them yet). Overall, I'd say they have better seafood than that fancy place across the street. Parking can be tight during peak times. There is plenty of space inside, just not as much outside to accommodate a near full house. read more

Ah, The Flying Burger. What an unexpected find in this town. I travel here for business once in a while, and this place is like a Food Oasis for me. I eat here several times while in town, because I know they will always deliver fresh, handmade, authentic food every time. The decor is on the kitschy side, but not too over-the-top. The star here is the food. yes, it's a little bit pricier than people in El Dorado are probably used to paying. You know what? You are getting quality for that ever-so-slight uptick in price. One reviewer mentioned you can get a burger at McDonald's but to get seafood here - I am here to tell you, no fast food restaurant can hold a candle to this place. At all. The seafood is clearly fresh, gulf shrimp and fresh seafood. I don't know if they fly it in or what, but it is of great quality. Everything is made fresh to order, I can tell. The burgers are made in-house too, because that is the only explanation for how juicy and tender they are. The fries are only so-so, but they have a wide variety of sauces available to make anything taste good. Yes, it takes a while to get your food, but that's because they are cooking it fresh for you. You can see them! In the kitchen behind the counter. They have enough variety that I can eat here several times and not feel like I'm repeating myself. Salads, sandwiches, burgers, seafood plates...I've tried just about everything on the menu, and there is very little I wouldn't eat again - and those are because they just don't cater to my particular palate. Stay here, Flying Burger, because I need you when I'm in town to keep this foodie sane when on the road. By the way...can you open a franchise in Dallas? read more

While visiting El Dorado, my mother (who lives in EL Dorado) suggested we try Flying Burger. I was impressed. Although I live in Austin now, I grew up in EL Dorado and have a pretty good idea what the EL Dorado standard is and Flying Burger exceeds it. From the minute I walked in the decor was inviting and the staff seemed to be on their game and ready to serve. The menu also is pretty well-rounded consisting of classic southern and southwestern themed diner food but with a flare and panache that was on another level. The menu was also relatively large, but not so big that it is unwieldy for the kitchen. As much as I wanted the try the Kabobs, I decided to go with the namesake and order a single burger with everything, plus bacon and jalapenos, and fries. As a whole the meal was Delicious. Seasoned well (maybe a little too well) and served in a timely manner. I would put the burger up against any of the Austin burger staples.....Fran's, Dan's, Top-Notch, Dirty Martin's, Hut's and the other dozen or so legendary burger joints. The fries were well golden brown seasoned well also. Misfires? Yes there were a couple. First off, the listed website URL didn't work, and from where I sit, there is no website for Flying Burger. In this day and age, you need to have a website that at least gives you a glimpse of the menu. Second, the salt was a little heavy handed. Not so much that is ruined the flavor, but it just needs to be tweaked back a little. The third was the fries were a little soggy. To be fair, we did get an order to go and it did take us about 5-10 minutes to get home and start dinner. So, diners who eat in may not have the soppy fry problem. However, it was something that was noticable for take-out. Also, it may be just my personal taste as well. My wife thought the fries were perfect. In summary, I am painfully aware how hard it is for a new business to make it in EL Dorado. Businesses can live and die by just a few bad reviews that reach enough local ears. However, businesses that can win over the EL Dorado residents usually keep a loyal following. It is my hope that, when I visit EL Dorado again later in the year, that the Flying Burger will maintain their freshness and high standards because I definitely plan to make a trip back. read more

Happy Happy Happy! Finally a clean n nice staffed n GREAT food in El Dorado! This appears to be a fast food place n when u order..it resembles McDonalds.

Flying Burger - Salmon salad $11.99 - Burgers Near Me - El Dorado, Arkansas

Best fast food in town. Juicy tasty burgers with all the fixings. Crispy fries and fried chicken and catfish strips. I was pleasantly surprised on my next visit when, in a fit of healthfulness, I subbed rice and beans for my combo's side of fries and found them to be quite flavorful, with chunks of tomato visible in the sauce. Loud when busy (which was both times I was there), but at least they give you those vibrating coasters to notify you when your food is ready. read more

Pretty good spot. Mixture of foods to choose from. Best place ive ate at so far in El Dorado.

Several people around south Arkansas had recommended the Flying Burger to me. I believe they made a good recommendation. The place is very clean and I didn't have to wait too long for my food. I ordered a Double burger with fries. The Burger had a good size to it and was made from fresh hamburger meat. It was a greasy burger but I have had definitely worse and kept falling apart on me. It did have a real fresh taste to it. Fries are hand-cut and freshly made as well. I really enjoyed my burger and fries. Really the only complaint I have is that I wish there were more choices for my burger beside the standard lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayo, mustard, and ketchup. Also, don't let the name fool you. This is a seafood restaurant with a good burger. I have heard people speak highly about the fish tacos. Flying Burger deserves another visit in the future. read more

Me & my boyfriend came here for a date night. Place was really packed and almost reminded me of a fast food place. You place your order & pick a seat & wait for them to call your number. You go pick it up from the front! I LOVE Louisiana fried catfish so I got the 4 catfish pieces. My boyfriend loves this place & get a burger every time. The fried catfish was ok. Hush puppies were good but I didn't like the fries. I will go back and get something else & hopefully update my review ! read more

Excellent burger! Quarter pound of juicy meat with tasty bun. Fries were awesome! Sort of a In & Out Burger atmosphere. Clean open eating area. read more

Any place that has fresh ground meat and seafood in the case is gonna be good. The grilled spicy shrimp po' boy was delicious. Sweet tender shrimp, marinated and grilled to perfection. The bread the shrimp was on was perfect, paired with the onion and lettuce. Definitely a great, busy place to go catch a business lunch. I definitely would recommend this location and hope to come back! read more

Flying Burger - Spicy shrimp po' boy - Burgers Near Me - El Dorado, Arkansas

I just left Flying Burger in El Dorado, AR. Found a hair in my fries. Manager didn't even apologize!

For a 'fast food' place....the deep fried food was some of the best fried food I've had. Not greasy at all. I had the catfish poor boy and some fries. Turned out to be a delight. If I lived here I'd gain weight from eating here all the time. read more

One of my favorite restaurants ever. It's 45 minutes away from where I live, but I like to follow a ritual of coming here after accomplishments. Never once had bad service. I've only tried the burgers so far, but everyone I know who's been here can't stop talking about the seafood! Rumor is there's one coming to my town, but I will continue to come to the El Dorado location. read more

Best place to eat in El Dorado. So much more tan burgers. Foods fresh and salmon salad is my favorite item on the menu. Great environment for the family and large groups. read more

If you ever happen to be in el dorado, this is the place to eat! Their burger was delicious, so hot and FRESH, they even have a meat display case right next to where you order filled with balls of hamburger meat. It's a real hand formed patty, not something flash frozen that arrived by truck. Their chicken tenders are also excellent, also very hot, juicy, and the perfect amount of breading. The fries are real fresh cut, they have sacks of potatoes against the wall as you walk in! The only thing that was a little dissapointing were the hush puppies. I'm used to spicy hush puppies with jalapeños in them. These hush puppies are kind of sweet, and they weren't as hot as everything else. Finally, I tried a cinnamon roll. They are a pretty good size, nice and sweet, perfect yeast dough. I love the old-diner feel of the place with the checkered floor and such. The large windows wrap around the whole front & sides and let in a ton of light really giving the place a nice friendly feel and not some dark dungeon. If you enjoy a good burger, get yourself the double-combo meal and you will be in heaven. read more

Great burgers, my nephew loved it and that's what was important. Definitely wouldn't mind returning if I was going to be in the area.

Great variety. Salads are top shelf. Burgers hang with the best in town. Seafood is decent for South Arkansas.

What a cool restaurant. Located just above El Dorado High School. Quick, friendly, fast service. I ordered the shrimp po boy and was not disappointed. Don't be fooled like I was. Originally I thought it was catfish but then realized that it had just been butterflies and flattened. I ordered the beans and rice which was great. I did notice that they make fresh French fries though. They have very fresh whole shrimp. It was clear that these weren't the frozen popcorn kind you get in a lot of po boys. If I'm ever in town again, I will definitely be making a return visit. read more

Great place to eat. Stopped at airport for fuel. Airport lineman highly recommend the flying burger. Anytime I am in the area i will be back. I had the burger, after looking at the sea food i will try it the next time it looked great. If your in the area need to try it out. Serving time was very fast especially when you consider how busy they were. Look forward to next visit. read more
