Erik RowleyMarch 9, 2015Quite possibly the best restaurant in all of Iowa. The Orange BBQ ribs are incredible appetizer and the Louisiana platter was amazing! I wish I ordered more cornbread to go!
Łukasz AleksanderJuly 10, 2013Easily some of the best BBQ I've had and will ever have in my life. The sausage is the best thing on the menu, 50/50 beef pork mix, melt in your mouth tender. Don't take Amex tho
Upvoted Feb 9- TV Food MapsFebruary 20, 2015Check out Flying Mango as it was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives for Southern spot cooking up all the classics, from ribs and red beans and rice to catfish cakes and collards Read more
Macy K.August 7, 2014Great atmosphere! Perfect for a romantic date, an intimate dinner with friends, or a private event!
Drew Van Woert 🍺January 21, 2012You will not regret ordering the 24 hour smoked brisket! Make sure to call for a reservation a couple days ahead or risk a long wait crammed into the small entry way. They need more space to work with- AMAZING FOOD! Get the 24 hr brisket. Of you're lucky enough to be here on a night when they serve the smoked Gouda Mac & cheese, it is LIFE CHANGING.
Miranda Awesome SauceApril 5, 2014Cajun catfish is good. So are the mixed veggies. And the cornbread is tasty. The long islands aren't so bad either.
Aaron SFebruary 17, 2015Take your parents here when they're visiting from out of town and you want to convince them that you can make good life choices! It's all so good so everyone order something different!
24 hr beef brisket, Cajan Catfish and BBQ ribs. To die for.
3 bbq plater with andouille , ribs, and brisket. Side of corn bread. Great combo. Also a large selection of beer
Jessie ChristensenSeptember 11, 2015If you can catch their catfish cakes on special, get them. Otherwise, everything here is awesome.
Amanda IrishAugust 14, 2014Amazing food and drinks. Very accommodating of my gluten free dietary needs.
Corey JohnsonJune 24, 2012Try the 24-Hour Beef Brisket - Tender smoked brisket with sweet potato/ginger/jalapeno mash cake & corn bread.
Ricky SherrillAugust 10, 2015Don't let the plain outside appearance fool you. The food inside is not to be missed.
Kim JMay 27, 2012Apparently we should have ordered the bbq because the shrimp and chicken dish were less than impressive. Corn bread was awesome tho.- Michael BirdNovember 5, 2011Ribs. Cowboy beans. Cheddar mashed. Done. Nice people. Great food. Smells awesome even a block away
Justin CarleyFebruary 6, 2016Everything is awesome, but the ribs and brisket would compete against any city in the world.
Miriam De DiosMarch 14, 2013Well my chicken was dry and chewy and the mashed potatoes were bland, but otherwise the atmosphere and house sauce was good! Wine was delish!- Jill FlemingJanuary 5, 2010Go to Flying Mango - Order the 24 Hour Beef Brisket with Corn Bread and Corn on the Cob - Beef Brisket Sandwich is excellent and more economical too Read more
- Without a doubt one of the finest restaurants anywhere

Andrew KociskyAugust 2, 2013Pretty disappointed. Overpriced, and thought the service would be better. Try someplace else first.
