Pleasantly surprised. I had no idea what to expect when I first came here. I knew that flying mango was more of some sort of fancy bbq joint but I had never had a chance to try it. I was blown away by the food. It wasn’t even the tender briskets, or hickory smoked burnt to perfection crisped ribs that had me. It was the SIDES that made the entire meal. I loved the various unique flavorful and beautiful sides. I ordered the Pancake with Mango sour cream (phenomenal), Corn Bread with Honey Butter (equally amazing), and the Braised Collard Greens with Bacon (yummm). The only thing I might not like about this restaurant is that you must pay to split/share your dishes. Instead of getting one meal though and paying the $10 extra to split the meal what my friend and I did was buy a meal and then get a sandwich which costs the same amount and you get an extra side with it. You get more for the $10.
People seem to let like it. I don’t know why Seasoning so heavy its hard to hold down.
My husband received a gift certificate to the Flying Mango from his company for Christmas. He had perused the website and decided we would try it on our date night tonight. We started our night with a Shiner Cheer for him and a Mango Margarita for me (how can you go to the Flying Mango and not order something with mango?!?). Both drinks were very good! For entrees my husband ordered 24 hour brisket and I ordered the chicken breast with goat cheese and asparagus. My husband was shocked when they brought his meal to the table with no knife. He was certain he would need a steak knife for the brisket and was shocked when the butter knife cut the brisket like butter! Very tender and juicy! Perfection! I always ask for a to-go box but tonight I finished my entire meal! Can’t wait to go again!
Love it!. Went here with my wife and some friends a few months ago and absolutely loved it! One of our favorites places in Des Moines. Their food is top notch, atmosphere is incredible, the open kitchen when you first walk in is really fun, service was great, etc etc. I enjoyed it so much that I’m bringing a group here for my birthday next week. Best brisket ever and the wings are a must. What’s interesting about this place is that it’s got a very modern decor yet they serve food that I usually wouldn’t associate with it. It’s a fusion of modern with BBQ/Caribbean. It’s difficult to explain but once you’re there it all makes sense. Their food is top notch, do yourself a favor and give it a try if you haven’t already!
Flying Fruit. The Flying Mango sits in a neighborhood setting in the MECCA of FINE DINING (Beaverdale Iowa).Immediately the color and the music and setting …….soothes your soul.With walls that are adorned with colorful Works by until now unknown artist HC PORTER……..and the friendly and cheerful waitress that came softly to the table………Talk of food came into the mixThe owner came and introduced himself and spoke with warmth and thanks for our coming to his restaurant ……later a surprise cut of BEEF BRISKET that melted in my mouth…….was presented along with a delightful mealMy son had the Lamb Chops and a unique blend of Korean Cajun and Imagination salad that had a unique Peanut Sauce …….arrived in seemless fashion ……as I sipped on my Peach Tea (great on its own)Sharing a Rack of Ribs (smoked in Cherry Wood) …….with an array of sauces the likes I have never seen (some eclectic brands and the Owners own sauces) ………it was as if I was transported back to the Big Easy ……..it was served with some RED BEANS and Rice …….with little pieces of onion and other ……..that was BIG EASY master level ……a meal in itself and done with FRENCH QUARTER Magic ….amazingly good. This is a not a good fine dining experience……..It is a GREAT dining experience.GREAT SERVICEGREAT AMBIANCEGREAT FOOD EXCELLENCE in motion………..BUCKET LIST kinda place
