14/01/2025: Great selection of burgers and sides, very friendly staff, food was great
07/01/2025: Absolutely stunning place. Probably the best restaurant I've ever been to. As soon as you walk in, the person who I can only assume is the manager, or at least the senior staff member greets you with the most pleasantly outgoing greeting you will receive anywhere. His demeanor is very professional, but still casual and friendly enough as if it's one of your old mates serving you.
As for the food, it left me speechless the first time I went, and it drove me there another fifty times or so - not exaggerating.
The chips are what stand out to me. Sure, they might be a little pricey for some but oh my god you get what you pay for. The portion sizes are massive when compared to other places, and they don't hold back on toppings for the loaded fries either. The burgers are always well made, and well presented. My favourite part about the meals here are the soft drinks, however. Unlike a lot of lame restaurants nowadays who give you tiny wee bottles of coke or whatever you order, Flipside still gives you the full bottles, which is sadly a rarity in most places.
If the main course hasn't satisfied you enough, get an ice-cream sundae and you will be sorted. Some of the nicest ice-cream I've ever tasted in them. And once again, the toppings are plentiful. The milkshakes are also well worth writing home about!
Anytime I bring friends or family to Sligo for the first time, Flipside is always my first thought when it comes to bringing them out for a meal. Additionally, while it's mainly walk-ins, you can make bookings for 6 to 12 people (as of January 2025), which is really nice for planning birthday parties.
Unless they get rid of those gorgeous chicken tenders with hot sauce off the menu, nothing will ever deter me from going here.
Note that if you happen to be seated outside, there are blankets for those cold nights, too!
