Flying Rhino is a very recognizable name on Shrewsbury Street. While I have dined there in the past, it has been many years so I was intrigued to try this venue once again.
The atmosphere of the Flying Rhino is vibrant, casual and lively. I was particularly fond of the mosaic when you first enter and the décor is very colorful. The menu offered some terrific selections and I was especially pleased they offer some healthier options, although I must admit I did not select one, it is good to know for the next time.
I’m always drawn to a turkey burger as many restaurants don’t typically have them as a menu option. I decided to select the Spicy Turkey Burger and trying to go with a healthier side option, I ordered the brussel sprouts. OK, I know….they had bacon, guilty – but they were still a slight bit healthier than the fries.
The turkey burger was described as – chargrilled topped with cheddar, pickled jalapenos, onion strings, lettuce, tomato and spicy mayo on a whole wheat bun. I asked for no bun (just the picture of health) and the fixings came on the side, which I appreciated.
Unfortunately the burger was a bit too chargrilled for my liking but the brussel sprouts were delicious (but isn’t everything with bacon?). Overall my meal was good. I did see the grilled swordfish that another Foodie selected arrive at our table (I almost ordered that) and it looked delicious. I will have to try that the next time I go. -LB
