    I went for lunch to The Crazy Flamingo on a Sunday with family while visiting Marco Island. We all ordered sandwiches with their amazing garlic bread as the bun. I got their grilled chicken sandwich in particular with cheddar and a side of their onion rings. We also enjoyed their Conch Fritters as an appetizer. Everything was delicious! I thought their ordering procedures were interesting. They had a sign in front that read: "First Time? 1.) Grab Menus 2.) Sit Anywhere 3.) When Ready To Order- Come See Us At The Bar." For refills on drinks, they had this community soda gun for guests to come over and use to fill your drink yourself. I liked the island feel inside and it was busy but not too loud. Food came out pretty quickly. Average prices. Overall, pretty good experience.

    We were here after an assignment at the local area. We decided to visit this restaurant during lunch. The restaurant is a opened seating. Since we close to the bar the order is actually through the bar. Food brought out with little wait. I have fried shrimp basket. Unfortunately I feel their fried shrimp is just like grocery prepackaged food to heat up. Not impressive. The cocktails sauce is good for the shrimp. Overall experience is good. Just need to improve the food quality.

    The Crazy Flamingo is a local bar and restaurant in Marco Island. It is located not far from the beach, but it is not ON the beach. It is in an area with shops and other restaurants with lots of free parking options. The cool thing about this spot is you grab a seat, go up to the bar inside and order at your own speed! They don't have servers to take your order but they are available for any questions! They call your name over a speaker when your food is ready. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with pool tables inside and it is dog friendly! I ordered 1 lb of peel and eat shrimp and they were cooked to perfect with just enough crunch and easy to peel, it came right out of the shell! The melted butter and cocktail sauce added some great flavor. The menu is limited but offers a variety from seafood to salads, wings and burgers! My husband had the hottest wings you could get (pending flavor, I forget!) and he tolerates anything hot and these had a nice kick! I recommend coming here for a casual night or even lunch!

    My family came in because of the name and we did not leave disappointed. We only ordered appetizers but found them all to be very delicious. The giant pretzel was not giant but was so good, it had a little spice to it and good texture. The fries were amazing, crispy and warm. They did forget our salad and fries at first but when we went up and asked they gave us free garlic bread so it's all good. The setup is unique, with there being no servers, you just go up to the bar when you're ready to order. It works well for them.

    Where the magic happens ....

    I was just on Marco Island 2 weeks ago ... and Crazy Flamingo was our first stop for dinner!!! It did not disappoint! Same great vibe, service, food and drinks! I love this hidden gem. If you want classy, snobby or fancy keep on strolling down to the brewery. Thanks for the fun evenings!

    First impressions Crazy Flamingo fits the laid back vibe of Marco Island. Perfect in and out spot to grab lunch with the family. The food was delicious and service is fast! Definitely a must try.

    We've been hearing great things about The Crazy Flamingo for years, but hadn't ever made it over there on our one-week-a-year vacations since we tended towards any restaurants on the water. Now that we're more full-time, we went over on a Saturday night in season for dinner. There is no wait staff at The Crazy Flamingo. You grab any free table (there may be a wait) or a seat at the bar. There are menus at the bar for you to peruse at your own pace at your table. And then you place your food order at the bar...the bartenders are very helpful with the menu because of this, but please know what you want when you get up there. This is not the time to ask 100 questions about sauces...there will very likely be a line of people behind you waiting to order. The bartender will get you your drinks and then you go back to your table to wait for your name to be called. If you're sitting outside there is a loudspeaker so you'll still hear your name. The Crazy Flamingo is famous for their burger. It comes on a kaiser roll, but they recommend the upgrade to the garlic bread toast which is their signature. I ordered the Fried Shrimp basket which was very good, and my friends both both the burgers...it looked so good. And though the cheeseburger on the garlic bread was a messy indulgence, I was jealous I didn't order it...definitely next time. We sat outside which was really nice. The inside has a pool table and some live music on certain nights. This is definitely a fun locals gem that is very welcoming to visitors.

    We found this gem during our couples trip! Everyone was super friendly upon walking in and the food and service did not disappoint either! I ordered Fried Pot Stickers, wings and jalapeno poppers. YUMMY! The group as a whole ordered a huge variety, but we found out they were known for their INCREDIBLE wings! HOLY MOLY! DO NOT MISS OUT ON THEM OR THEIR BLEU CHEESE DRESSING! We even ordered 50 wings the following day to go lol and were greeted with the same amazing customer service. If we lived closer, this would 100% be a family favorite. Thank you so much for making our experience so memorable!

Our first visit we had the coconut shrimp (9/10), GF pasta bolognese (9/10), and a GF pizza (8/10). Our second visit we ordered the crab Rangoon (7/10), shrimp Alfredo (10/10), and another GF pizza which was delicious too.

We arrived around pm so the restaurant was not busy. Hubby and I had our choice of seating. They have a full bar, separate pizza oven from the other kitchen, indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe is a little weird though. It's an Italian restaurant who plays sort of like cruise ship dinner music combined with sports on several tv's. There were several people working but one guy was the host, the bar tender, waiter and runner. He was pretty efficient but I'm not gonna lie, I watched him wipe his face several times without washing his hands. That sort of did it for me. Jinny's sandwich came out way before mine which wasn't a big deal as I know it typically takes awhile for a heavy pizza to bake. Not sure when I will learn, do not order deep dish pizza from a place that doesn't specialize in it. Just because you line a pan with crust does not mean it's deep dish. The sauce was ok but I would not order it again. It really was just a regular pizza with tall sides. Very underwhelming.

I…read moreadmire the manager in that there is always a polite response regardless of the review, but what do people expect? A popular restaurant will be noisy when it is busy. Pick a less busy restaurant if you want quiet. If you want quick service go to a fast food. Places like Marco Island, the Keys, the Caribbean and Hawaii operate on Island Time. People come there to chill out folks! Now that I have that off my chest. I've been here twice and ordered the Salmon grilled without any spices and it was perfect both times. I was there because it was a visitor's favorite place to eat because of the crab dip appetizer. We were in no rush. We came ahead of the noon rush restaurants and it was peaceful and relaxing. We came there to visit. The server was very attentive you our needs and came back numerous times to see if we were ready order. We ordered the crab dip as an appetizer first. We're in our eighties and all have health issues to consider when eating out. I normally prepare all my meals whole food plant based. I am highly reactive to salt. Hard to find places that serve food that won't send me to the emergency room. Great to have places like this that provide meals special ordered to meet our needs. When I am there the next time I will take photos and update this review. These folks deserve far more recognition than they are getting.

Many pizza restaurants will say they offer NY style pizza only to be so disappointed when it arrives at my house. Although they don't deliver, you can get Door Dash or some other delivery service unless you want to eat in or pick it up yourself. I personally don't like Door Dash because they leave the delivery outside on the ground where fire ants and other creatures can get into your food. No ringing of the doorbell, no knock on the door. They literally just leavevit outside. Guess that's why their name has Dash in it! You'll never know when your food has arrived. The Chef at Joey's has many years of experience and he makes an incredible crust, delicious sauce; he will not disappoint you. They have different sizes, we get the large for two people because that is how delicious this pizza is. They also offer Italian dinners. The garlic rolls and canolis are mouth watering. I have been down here for 30 years from the NE area and am so happy to finally have found the perfect NY style pizza. You must give it a try! Laurie Lee Diorio

So good we got them on both visits. The coconut shrimp and peel and eat shrimp appetizers were also great. The Bad. The first night we went on a Friday around 5 and it was very busy. We sat at the bar and both female bartenders were attentive and handled the crowd well. By 6 the place was packed. We noticed the presumed owners being very active expediting orders, seating people and managing staff. They were doing a great job. Saturday night 2 male bartenders, one who disappeared and the other playing video games on his phone hidden by the register. We also noticed the owners were not present. A little later the owners were there, the phone was gone and the bartenders came back. After the owners left the service went with them. The phone reappeared and the second bartender stayed in the corner with his buddy. We had to hail one of them down to get our check. Totally disinterested. The Ugly, the bathrooms. My wife reported there was little to empty paper in the stalls. No towels to wipe your hand and trash everywhere. Overall dirty. If you go here expect great food and great service only when it's the female bartenders or the owners are present.
