It has been at last 7 years since I have visited this place, and I can't remember the food. Gave the guys at work a shot at redeeming themselves with all the crappy recommendations they gave. Well this time I was very pleasantly pleased. The place is awesome, and the muffler heaters are awesome. Our waitress was great, and the drinks and appetizers came out quickly. I can only judge on the food I ordered and apps we shared. I had the the jalapeño bacon burger with tots. It was amazing! I love when burger places ask you how you want your burger cooked. They cooked it perfectly and the bacon was dang good! The apps we share were the fried pickles and queso jalapeno fries. They were meh. The pickles were just missing that tang. They were cooked perfectly, but like someone at the table said, "it kind of feels like fried cucumbers". The fries also weren't special, the queso was missing kick. They weren't terrible. The spicy ranch that comes with the pickles was also not spicy. The beers we ordered were cold! Before I left, I asked the waitress for two desserts to go, I let her choose. She gave me the bread pudding, and peach cobbler. First, the bread pudding was the best bread pudding I've ever had. The whiskey sauce just elevated it! THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING RAISINS! The other dessert unfortunately was a no for us! The peach cobbler. I will be nice, but just no. It felt like a cake on top of canned peaches. Will definitely be back with the fam and try other burgers!
Wow! Tycoon Flats is a very chill and welcoming place. As soon as you walk in, everyone greets you. The food was amazing - especially the bacon bleu balsamic burger! Service was excellent! Highly recommend!
I would recommend this place any day :) 10/10. As a dad of two active kids, finding a place where we can all sit down, enjoy good food, and leave happy is no small task--but this spot hits the mark every single time. It's become our little family go-to for burgers and shakes, and I can't recommend it enough. The burgers are top-notch. Juicy, flavorful, and just the right size--not those overly massive things you can't get your hands around. And the shakes? Honestly, they're a treat for all of us. The kids love the Oreo and strawberry flavors, while I lean toward the chocolate. They're rich and creamy without being overly sweet, and there's something nostalgic about sipping on a proper shake alongside a good burger. What I really appreciate is how family-friendly the atmosphere is. The staff are always welcoming and patient (even when the kids are a bit loud), and they've got crayons and activity sheets to keep little hands busy. It's the kind of place where you don't feel rushed or judged for bringing children along--it's just easy. If you're a parent looking for a place that checks all the boxes--great food, casual vibe, and a warm welcome for families--this is it. It's a win for me every time.
My daughter and I went after her volleyball game. We sat right away and were greeted by our waitress. Both of us were hungry so we decided on our meal pretty quickly. My daughter ordered an Oreo milkshake and the Honey BBQ and bacon burger. I got the fried avocado burger and we shared six wings - buffalo. The wings were fresh, crispy, and delicious. Our burgers were piled high with ingredients. They did not disappoint. I have been to Tycoon Flats in YEARS, but I will definitely be heading back soon!!
My husband and I were wanting a good burger so we tried Tycoon Flats! The location is near St Mary's. They do have a small parking lot and there was also street parking. They offer seating inside as well as outside patio. We chose to sit outside so we could eat dinner and people watch! The outside patio has a bar and there were ample tables to accommodate any size group. They also have outside fans to cool things off! The menu has great selection of entrees. We ordered onion rings for an appetizer. They were not the larger crispy onion rings that we traditionally served. Their onion rings were thinly sliced and fried. For our dinner we ended up sharing the 3 mini burger sampler and it WAS SCRUMPTIOUS! We tried 3 of the burgers that had been featured on TV. All three of them were out of this world! The burgers can with a side of tater tots! We had excellent service; our server was very friendly and attentive. She knew the menu and gave great recommendations on what to order! If you are wanting a fresh burger, great customer service, and fun/casual atmosphere, Tycoon Flats is a GREAT CHOICE!!
Came here for a birthday lunch. Made reservations the day before online. Confirmation was the same day. Seating is outside seating and they had fans with mist attached to them. The waitress was extremely helpful and nice. Food was amazing. We got fulled up on the appetizers. One of the dishes to order is the trio for specialty burgers. You get three burgers (except 2) to try with fries or chips. They even hid our cupcakes until we were ready in their fridge. They had plants all over the place. It made the atmosphere calming. There is a bar to sit at to order drinks and one restroom for each gender.
Amazed and disappointed that I have never visited this place before. A great burger spot!! ALL of the staff were friendly and welcoming. When I say ALL I MEAN ALL!! If someone happened to come out of the kitchen and passed by; they spoke and smiled, the same for all of the servers. Food...on point. Burgers were juicy and cooked as just as they should be. The fries and tots had a nice crispiness on the outside and just as soft as you'd want on the inside. Great beer selection. Definitely will be going back.
07 Apr 2024 Stopped in for brunch and to avoid the crowds of Siclovia for a while, which is running from N. St. Mary's and 281 to Brooklyn Avenue. Hadn't been here for brunch before. Husband had the Mexican burger (pico de gallo and cheese) and I had the stuffed Belgium waffle. Stuffed with egg, applewood bacon and cheese. So good! Served with butter and syrup. Our server Olivia was just fine. She came by to check on us at just the right times. She was also taking care of a large table next to us. One of those folks was one of those who've done everything many times over and repeatedly tells you about it. Remember the movie 'Airplane'? That's how it was. Ha, ha. The Flats had live music going on right outside their front door. Quite good. Live music is coming back within 4-6 weeks, I'm told. The owner came by and asked how it was. Good, we said. He thanked us for coming by. We asked how business was and he said they were still down about 30%. Ouch. Well, we do our little part. Go there.
The food was delicious and they offer great drink Special daily. We sat by the bar area and it was a cooler Sunday, and they did have the heaters on so that was such a plus, especially since there is mostly outdoor seating. I did notice there is a small section that looked indoor. The onion rings were lightly fried and they give you plenty with the appetizer order. I loved their homemade potato chips! Sauerkraut dog was delicious and not overwhelming. I added some chili to mine. The flavor of the dog itself was also very beefy tasty and yummy! The rum mimosa was good...maybe a bit sweet for me. I also ordered a beer and it was not very cold. The michelada was tasty! Would be nice if we could order flights of beer. Our first server was great and attentive. She did have to leave while we were eating and switched us to another server. He wasn't as attentive. It wasn't busy but I understand lack of staff has been an issue. Overall great experience! The food is very good! Not your typical bar tasting food!
