Default Flippers near Brownwood

So the pizza at the new location is wonderful....which was expected. The wait for it was 45 minutes which was not expected but I attributed that to the learning curve of the kitchen. The place was packed. While waiting I pondered....did they underestimate the volume of business the south would bring, was the crowd just checking out the place and would diminish after a period of time and if it doesn't where do they expand? As we were leaving, folks were still coming in.

We left 51 minutes after our ordered and no pizza. Bad luck, maybe. One couple leaving said good food horrible acoustics.

Listening to hear what your experiences were...

No business is worth waiting 45 minutes. After all it's only pizza [emoji487]

We dined there a few weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon. No wait, scrumptious pizza in about 10 minutes. Maybe word hadn't spread just yet of its opening.

For us take out at Flippers Brownwood is six minutes away. Best pizza south of 466 and no problems with a long wait to date.

We go to MVP Health Club @ Brownwood every morning and usually leave around 11:30, perfect time to lunch. We try to mix it up with something different everyday. The steak lunch fijitas for $8.99 at Fiesta Grande @ Colony is my favorite, we'll hit that every week. Also we go to McAlisters every week, they've got a lot of good club sandwiches to choose from. I like the Classic Breakfast at Bob Evans, scrambled eggs, slice of ham and 2 pancakes for $6.99. Since McDonalds has been running the 2 Egg McMuffins for $3.50 for many months, we'll fit that place in once in awhile.

We added a couple of new spots to our lunch. World of Beer on Mondays, nice hamburger for $5 but what was really good was the wings. I say better than Gators Dockside, but 5 for $7 is a little high, although they gave us 6. Gator's Dockside has a wings lunch special that's not on the menu, 6 wings, fries and cole slaw for $7.99 or for $10.99 you get 10 wings and the drink included. The only problem, they have 30 choices of wings and it's really hard to say, just give me Buffalo Wings, and they don't understand.

I bring up these places to show the variety and since opening, Flippers has been on our regular tour. Twice the first week and once the last two weeks. I guess lunch time is different, we never waited more than 15 minutes for 2 My Pies except once. At lunch drink is included for $6.99 with the My Pie and I really like the pizza. It's probably not good for me, but I'll just exercise a little more on those days. This past Friday was the exception, we waited 20 minutes but then we realized why. A large table was set up 11 employees of a electrical company who had ordered 4 large pizzas ahead. In addition I've noticed a lot of people coming in for carry out, I think the pharmacy at Publix was one. Pizza Hut and Dominoes in Wildwood will probably lose some business. I guess we beat the crowd, generally we're leaving as about a dozen people are headed in, so the secret is to get there about 11:30.
