We’re absolutely thrilled to announce the unveiling of our new Lunch and Dinner menu today, August 1st, 2025, followed by our delicious new Brunch menu tomorrow, August 2nd, 2025!
Our entire culinary team has poured their passion and expertise into crafting a lineup of incredible new dishes we can’t wait for you to try. While we’ve retired a few beloved items to make room, we know you’ll find plenty of new favorites to love.
We invite everyone to join us this weekend and in the coming months to explore our expanded offerings and share your feedback!
Here’s a revised version of your blog post, with suggested edits to enhance clarity, engagement, and flow.
Dive Into Our New Lunch & Dinner Highlights:
Sip Smarter with Expanded Zero-Proof Beverages
In step with the growing demand for non-alcoholic options, we’ve significantly expanded our Zero-Proof Beverage selection. Our new dedicated section on the signature cocktail menu features both hand-crafted creations and premium Mingle canned non-alcoholic mocktails. Looking for a refreshing quench? Try our hand-crafted Pineapple Jalapeno Delight or our favorite Mingle Mocktail, the Blood Orange Elderflower Mimosa.
Share the Fun with Signature Sips
- The Fish Bowl is BACK and Better Than Ever: Our iconic Fish Bowl returns with a new recipe and new “fish”! Still available in two sizes: the mighty 92oz giant souvenir Fish Bowl (comes with 4 straws!) and the more intimate 46oz “baby” Fish Bowl for two. Yum!
- The Patron Tower: First debuted during Cinco de Mayo, this “tower of power” is now a permanent fixture on our menu! Designed for sharing, The Patron Tower features four 12oz Patron margaritas.
Appetizers & Shareables Reimagined
- Na’Cho Average Nachos, Now in Two Sizes: Our famous Na’Cho Average Nachos are now offered in two convenient sizes. Our regular size is perfect for one on game day, while our abundant “family size” is ideal for sharing. Grab a beer or a Mingle and dig in!
- Smash Burger Sliders & Smash Burger: These fan favorites have earned their permanent spot on the menu! Enjoy our famous Smash Burger Sliders and Smash Burger every day, loaded with caramelized sautéed onions and our special Tavern Smash Sauce.
- Crab Cakes Reimagined: Chef B has outdone herself with a new recipe for our signature Crab Cakes. Crafted with succulent jumbo lump and claw crab meat and our house-made lemon garlic aioli, we’re confident these “babies” will challenge even the most discerning Maryland Crab Cake fans!
- The Jumbo Mexican Shrimp Cocktail: Perfect for the hot summer months, this super-sized cocktail features two colossal shrimp for dipping into a large bowl of juicy shrimp cocktail, bursting with flavor from whole and diced shrimp, tomatoes, clam juice, fresh jalapeños, cucumbers, onions, avocado, lime, celery, and spicy Tajin. If you know, you know!
- A Whole New Tavern Steamer Tower: Our abundant tower of fresh steamed seafood just got an upgrade with the inclusion of a 1 ¼ lb cold-water whole lobster. Woof!
- Shareable Skillets: Comfort food reimagined! Our five new shareable skillets are perfect as an appetizer, side, or even a main. Try them all: Mexican Street Corn, White Mac and Cheese, Brussels Sprouts, Mashed Potato Casserole, or our house-made sweet cake-style Cornbread with whipped honey butter. Perfect for a cheat day!
Exciting New Entrees
- Nashville Hot Chicken Tacos: If you loved Chef B’s Nashville Hot Sliders, you’ll adore these! She’s kicked it up a notch, turning them into our newest (and soon-to-be your favorite) taco, served with coleslaw on top to cool things down.
- The Fresh Market Salad: Inspired by Chef B’s love for fresh, seasonal ingredients, this salad will vary based on what’s ripe and delicious at the farmer’s market. Be sure to ask your server about today’s Fresh Market Salad!
- Hawaiian Chicken Hula Bowl: A staff favorite for a healthier yet flavorful option! Our Hula Bowl is an escape to paradise with savory teriyaki-marinated chicken thighs, colorful carrots, grilled pineapple, and crisp broccoli, all served over lemon-ginger jasmine rice with our signature Hula sauce.
- Cajun Pasta Alfredo: A new take on a guest favorite with a creamy Cajun Alfredo sauce and your choice of protein: chicken or shrimp. Plus, all the grape tomato and spinach goodness you know and love!
- Nawlin’s-Style Shrimp Boil: This hearty shrimp boil hits the spot, packed with tender peel ‘n eat shrimp, sweet corn on the cob, and spicy Andouille sausage, all seasoned with our signature blend of spices.
- Coconut Curry Black Grouper Fillet: Our pan-seared Black Grouper fillet in a zesty red curry, coconut milk sauce is to die for, served over lemon-ginger jasmine rice. A true must-try!
- Cold Water Lobster Dinner: Move over Caribbean, Maine is in the house! Our Cold Water Lobster Dinner features a 1 ¼ lb whole cold-water lobster (Maine, when in season). It just doesn’t get any better than that sweet lobster meat, claws included!
- USDA Prime Wet-Aged Steaks: “Meat” your new favorite! Taste the difference of wet aging with our USDA Prime steaks. Vacuum-sealed and aged in their own juices, their rich, savory flavor is intensified. Our beef is grass-fed and grain-finished for exceptional flavor and tenderness.
- Half Chicken Dinner: Tender, juicy, and simply divine! Our half chicken is sous vide with garlic-herb butter and boasts crisp golden-brown skin. Comforting and healthy.
Dessert in a Skillet? Yes, Please!
Chef B has surprised us all with two new decadent desserts served in a cast iron skillet: the Deep Dish Chocolate Brownie and the Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie. Great for sharing or splurging! And don’t worry, Key Lime Pie fans, our signature Rock’s Glass Key Lime Pie made the cut too!
Made with Love
These are just a “few” of my new favorites! When I started writing this post, I intended to mention only three or four, but my empty stomach couldn’t narrow down the list. I’ve been holding my breath, waiting for this day to share the incredible talents of my friend, partner-in-crime these past eight years, and “my chef” our very own Chef Bianca McCollum. I’ve had the distinct and rare opportunity to learn about culinary creation from behind the curtain and witness the growth of a truly talented chef.
Chef B and our entire culinary team have created something special here. Our new menu is filled with innovative and flavorful dishes, perfectly paired with old favorites that nod to Flagler Tavern’s long history. It’s a menu that’s simultaneously fresh and new, yet comforting and familiar – all made with love.
There are many more new dishes to discover, and after months in the making, I encourage you to come down and find your own new favorites! I’d love to hear which dishes make your top spot. So, drop me an email at marketing @ flaglertavern.com and share the love.
Food for Thought,
