“Always a great experience...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

The food is always good, the service is great and like all the restaurants in the collection... love the fresh bread. Well prepared seafood and a great place at the bar to watch the game on Sundays.

Coastal Flats is great! I have a seafood allergy but they have a seperate kitchen for seafood so my husband can enjoy his favorite food without me getting sick!

“Coastal Flats has changed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

I loved this restaurant for years until they took away the baby back ribs and put beef back ribs on the menu instead. I ordered them, hoping for the best , and was very disappointed. They were mediocre. BRING BACK THE BABY BACK RIBS!!!!

“Part of the Great American Restaurants Group”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

Visit any one of the Great American Restaurants Group restaurants, and you are ensured the same care, quality, and outcome as any other of them. You can see my reviews of Sweetwater Tavern, another of their stores, for reference.

I was pleased to see that there were some different menu options than from the other restaurants in the group, and some common things (note if you go to Mike's American Grill, that they have ozzie rolls, like Sweetwater Tavern...) but I diverge.

The fish I had was tasty here, and the rest of the service was just like I am use to from their other places.

This place is always a favorite for the whole family. The food and service are always great!!! The bread is awesome and favorites on the menu are the crab fritters, chopped salad, drunken steak, hong kong sea bass and two noodle shrimp salad. Yum! Always a great night here.
