    Bacon cheeseburger
    Rebecca H.

    Funky and fun walk up restaurant in a bus. Seating area with picnic tables across the parking lot. Burgers were tasty-juicy. Love the sweet pickles as the default pickle option. Grilled cheese was good. Chicken strips resembled chicken purchased at a restaurant closed on Sundays. Fries were lackluster-weren't super hot and crispy and desperately needed salt. Fried mozzarella sticks were good-thick breading. Canned soda options for only $1.50. Definitely worth checking out on a trip and is a hit with locals who have a loyalty punch card. Closed Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Open from 11-4.

    As the current Yelp rating illustrates - this place is the real deal. No dried out skimpy burgers here. JUICY and Full of Flavor! What a relief from all the other poser restaraunts trying to sell a burger. Other burger joints are all dried out, lack taste and let's just say it - Made Upside-down!! This place knows what they are doing. Plentiful fries. The Shrimp and Halibut combo platter was breaded nicely not too heavy. The shrimp and halibut were full of flavor and most importantly - Not Over-cooked! Eat here! Your Taste 'Buds' will Thank You! Sorry no pics. It was a cold day and we just devoured them Burgers and seafood! Enjoy and be on the lookout for my other reviews about the Peninsula.

    The best burger in town! Super friendly positive experience every time I stop in! They even offer punch cards. This place is awesome!

    The fries reminded me of McDonalds, but fresh and tasty. There was a sort of light seasoning on them. When I showed up here, I knew that it would be good. Everything was sacrificed to put out a quality burger and food product. There is no eating area, no warm area to wait for your order. There is a small alcove to protect from the rain (which it was doing when we came). Don't let the sparse and slightly muddy, slightly unkempt environment fool you. This place is amazing!! Seriously delicious and well put together burgers. After placing our orders, we headed to the car to wait. It felt like a long time, but was only probably about 10-15 minutes. Meals came out as they were finished which means the first of our group was almost done when the last burger meal showed up. Which might have been slightly due to deliciousness and partly due to time. Certainly a place to try during your time in Kenai!

    Burgers are amazing!!!! Don't forget to ask for the burger punch card, you will be back. 15 minute wait and you have been served.

    Pretty cool little burger joint. Customer service (hard to find in Alaska) was great!

    Amazing place! Friendly staff, great vibe, delicious food. I recommend the root wedges as an…read moreappetizer and for the entree I got seared tuna which was absolutely fantastic. Perfect for date night. Will absolutely be going back!!

    Have lived and / or worked in Kenai for many years. Always wanted to try The Flats Bistro…read more Before the review, a little history about me. Like a lot of people, I started working in restaurants from the age of 15. I was fortunate enough to work up high enough to train as an Executive Chef. I also was a Server and Bartender as part of my training so I appreciate the work restaurant staff perform. I always tip very well, even when the food or drink delivery is slow because I know it isn't the Servers fault on most occasions. The review: so sad to write this review, but this is Truth! ....After waiting almost 1 hr and 10 minutes (we had a reservation), for the first time ever in my life, I paid for our drinks and left. The menu looked awesome, I was excited to try the food. But we should have known the minute we walked in when we weren't acknowledged that either management or crew training was lacking. We were early for our reservation and waited patiently to be recognized but that did not happen. We stepped up and let the two people know we were early and would be happy to sit at the bar to wait. The staff talked and then seated us at our two-top. To be fair, let me also mention that my wife has been a Server for the majority of her life in the US and Caribbean. We both love and appreciate what Servers persevere through. So, we are seated and water is poured immediately. Cool. Then quite a delay for a server for drinks. She shows up, takes the order but it is approximately 15 minutes before we get our drinks. I am looking around at this not so large place where a lot of personnel are moving but nothing seems coordinated. I notice an 8-top to my right that has drinks and appetizer plates (never saw food) sitting and looking around. They are my baseline.... So we finally get the glass of wine and beer and are asked if we are ready to order. We know the gig....order now! So we order the Caesar salad, Beets, and 1/2 dozen oysters as our appetizer and our two entrees, thinking that this will help. We wait patiently (the restaurant was perhaps 70% occupancy in the middle of prime Salmon fishing) but I defer back to the statement that although people were moving a lot... not a lot seemed to be happening. After one hour and 6 minutes, we received on additional water fill up and one beer. The 8-top still had not received food. The 4 guys to my right were telling jokes and passing time but no food or extra drinks. After both of us took bathroom breaks, we decided to leave. We went to the Hostess station (which may also be their cashout station?), and asked for our tab. Miraculously, as we were pulling out cash for our drinks, the Server walks out with my oysters and the salad. She recognized that we were paying out and stated the restaurant was "backed up with orders". Give me a f$&@&$@ break. Really!!!! We paid, went to my local standby at Louie's Backdoor, got a full order of Halibut Fish'nchips with piping hot delivery in about 7 minutes. I have never left a bad review. I typically try to praise both the quality of Service and food. Not so in this case. I will never step foot in this place again and will tell all locals not to waste their time. If I could leave a less than 1-star I would.
