The Flying Pig in Olmito offering the best burgers around. Their cold beer perfectly complements the meal, and the Pork Belly Tacos are my standout favorite. The venue is clean and well-maintained, including the restrooms. Highly recommended for a great dining experience and making new friends. Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere.

Yikes! The weirdest and most unwelcoming experience I ve ever had at a food establishment. We arrived on a Tuesday around 5:30pm. The counter to the left where you might see a hostess or other staff was unattended. So we continued waiting until someone approached us. We then initiated the interaction by asking if we seat ourselves and they responded with something snarky like, that depends on you. What does that even mean? I responded by saying, doesn t it depend on what s available? They gestured towards the tables as if to indicate sit wherever. We sat and waited and waited and waited some more and if it wasn t obvious that it was our first time there when we didn t know we seat ourselves, then how were we supposed to know that we order at the bar? If that was the case? The snarky person could have said something like seat yourselves and when you re ready, order at the bar. Or if they prefer to not engage with new patrons, then put up a sign? Maybe. It doesn t matter. We waited long enough and when no one came to our table to check on us, we left. We will not be back and we will not be recommending this place to friends or family.

Bald-headed guy (maybe the owner?) was not helpful when we went for our first time. We simply asked if were supposed to seat ourselves and we never really got a straight answer. Felt more like a snippy retort. My sister-in-law went to school with this guy and she says he was a jerk in high school too. We waited for about 7-8 mins and it became very apparent no one was planning to take our order. Maybe we were supposed to order at the bar at which time we walked in the jerk owner could have let us know because it was very obvious we were clueless how this place operates. May be the best burger but well never know because well never go back. So voted by whom as the best burger is my question.

This place is your classic hole in the wall. Located north of Brownsville in Alito, Texas on the side of the highway. It has been in the owners family for about 100 years. However, it started as a post office a bus stop and a general store. Now it is a chill spot to get good food with friends and have a variety of cold craft beers. Definitely worth checking out whether you re a local or passing through. It is one several awards for their culinary offerings as well. It s not your typical burger. For this visit, I had the turkey burger. As you can see in my picture. Along with onion rings and a full set up. Very tasty. Definitely come in and check out the flying peg the next time you re in the area.

OMG! This is my new favorite bar. I live in Wisconsin and will make time to go back. Margaritas are made from scratch. Duck quesadilla, alligator taco and even a brussel sprout and sweet potato taco! Ribeye sandwich is phenomenal as well. It may take me 9-10 months but I will be back!! Make this a must stop on your trip, you wont regret it:)

When my husband and I first arrived, we were warmly greeted, and the service was exceptional. After our appetizer came, everything shifted. It was clear that a party was arriving in the other part of the restaurant. That would have been fine, but very soon the whole restaurant was consumed, a woman went behind the bar and refilled glasses of pop, and people were bringing up dirty dishes to the bar beside me. The bartender, and his other staff person, became so busy that we got lost in the shuffle. We find no fault with them because they were scrambling to keep up with the demand. We learned that the owners had a Wake, and these were the people from that service. That s fine, but I would suggest that next time, close the bar for a private party. The regular patrons were not given the good service that your staff wants to provide, and we almost felt like we were intruding. What started out as a very enjoyable date out, ended very unfortunately. The burger was good, the cuban so so, and the beer tasty.

It s was a scorching south texas afternoon. The hubs and I were on the expressway when I saw a sign that said, voted best burgers. We decided to take the turn around and give this little place a whirl. As I walked in I was greeted with a blast of cool air and once my eyes adjusted to the dimly lit interior, I half expected to see Norm saddled up to the bar. The server/bartender was sweet and very attentive. We ordered fried pickles to start off with and they were so crispy and tangy. My hubs ordered the monster burger and boy was it amazing! It was a handcrafted all beef patty, of obvious quality. The burger was topped to his specifications of bacon Swiss cheese mushrooms and grilled onions. I had a bite and it was amazing. My hubs commented it was a huge burger and he may not able to eat it all, but of course he did. I ordered the cubano and it was fabulous. Slow cooked pork carnitas and thick cut ham. Tangy mustard and crispy pickles. It was toasted to perfection and absolutely delicious. We shared some tots and they were crispy and light, not at all greasy. The menu is extensive and so is the cocktail menu. I stuck with my usual tanquery and tonic though. Next time I ll order one of their amazing cocktails. You don t want to miss out on this hidden gem!

Different vibe in this joint. No ice tea? In Texas? I can overlook that. The flying pig has been here many, many years. Obviously, its doing something right. Its more of a bar than a restaurant or grill. The flying pig has an exuberant selection of beers and hard liquor that will please anyone who wishes to get their drink on. Arrived @ about 1230. Maybe 8 other folks inside. Our server was fast, efficient, friendly and knew the menu well. Ordered the Monster burger and Pork belly tacos. The Monster burger should be renamed ( I need a shower now burger! ) Its huge, filling and kinda messy. The onion rings were fried perfectly. The tacos were excellent! We hadnt been here in atleast 7yrs the updated inside was a nice change if not a bit dark. It might be a nice Winter Texan spot. I just gotta get over the uneasy vibe. Plotted. Scouts Out.

Get the Big burger with everything. Trust me even if you cant eat it all take it home for a snack. Pass on the soggy fresh fries & get the tots. Pass on the sliders. Beer is cheap enough & staff is friendly! Wings are pretty good too. But that burger...

I really hate to tell people about this place, but this one of the coolest local spots in the Valley. They always have a friendly staff, the beer is cold, and the food is surprisingly delicious. Our table ordered cheese sticks, buffalo ranch tots, a Big Dog, and two Monster burgers. I substituted bison for my burger and it was amazing! I also got sweet potato fries instead of potato fries. I asked the bartender, Roy, for a recommendation for a dark beer and he delivered!!!!! I love this place and will be back time and time again when I travel to the valley. My only criticism is that the music could be turned down just a bit. Other than that, all is good.

The drinks are good but stay away from the food. I ordered a Cuban sandwich with fries and I was severely disappointed. The sandwich came out on toasted white bread (what?), one slice of ham, some about to be expired pulled pork, and a piece of cheese. The sandwich was served dry (no mustard) and the pickles were on the side. The sandwich completely fell apart as I was trying to eat it because of the now soggy white bread. The fries were under cooked and super greasy.

First time visite to this unique restaurant, which has been a local hangout in Olmito since 2008. Located on the frontage road, this establishment offers well drinks, beer, appetizers and good food. The very reasonably price main courses are well proportioned and delicious. The food and the service are both good, but what stands out is the lively atmosphere which is complimented by the onsite (modern) juke box. Dont let the interior furnishings and decor keep you from giving this bar/dinner a try-I recommend it.

Was excited to try this place after hearing its a hole in the wall in Brownsville. The service took forever, wasnt seen until about 20 minutes after seating. Didnt get the full order of drinks we got so we decided to leave after another 30 minutes of waiting for the server to come back. Drinks were ok. The daiquiri tasted like it was mixed with tap water. The flea market drink was good though.
