Flyers Cafe

Food was great. Meatball sub was a huge portion with amazing bread, fried mushroom app was yummy and not from a frozen bag. Fun atmosphere, clean and super friendly. We'll be back our next trip to Jacksonville. Oh, and Melinda was excellent.

This is a nice, low key place. Very helpful staff. Menu seems unexciting, but they do it well. The shrimp and the cheesesteak were great. Perfect for a lunch stop on a road trip. Location is convenient but also puts the outdoor area right next to the road, so it can be loud at times if you do eat outside.

1st time visit, can't wait to come back with friends! We had perfect fried green tomatoes, catfish and okra. Both house and Cesar salads were great. Got a philly to go for tomorrow's lunch. Waitress (so sorry we forgot her name) and the owners were so nice!!! Looking forward to our next meal at Flyers.

A great place for breakfast or lunch. Their Philly cheese steak is to die for! Best I've had outside of Philly. I don't order mine traditional... I order mine loaded with onion's, green peppers and mushrooms. The Italian Hoagie is wonderful as well. My wife loves their Reuben sandwich.

We went for the 4 th time with friends. We had been bragging about the cheesesteaks and they did not disappoint. We were all thrilled. Great staff, fresh and delicious food. A true gem Meatball subs, catfish and burgers also hit the spot. We will be back as often as possible!

I am on an off the beaten path Florida vacay. This spot fit the bill. Fried catfish was perfectly seasoned and lightly breaded. Crispy and delicious, not at all greasy. I could have made an entire meal of the green beans side!! The coleslaw was also a perfect crisp fresh side. This is obviously to me to be a local favorite, as everyone came in and spoke to the kitchen and wait staff. Sorry I didn't ask the name of my lovely server who scurried around from table to kitchen to cashier with a smile...all close to closing time.

I stopped in on the way back to SC and decided to give them a try. It was around 2 on Saturday and they were slammed. I got the Italian Togo and this thing was absolutely massive. The cheesesteak is apparently really good as well but the kitchen was backed up so the Italian was faster. You can easily split this sandwich or share with someone. It had tons of meat and veggies, all of which seemed fresh. If you’re dining in, be patient if they’re busy. It will be worth it. The poor server was flustered and running around like crazy but the kitchen was knocking food out pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend them.

Today was our first visit at Flyers café, and it exceeded our expectations by a lot. The cheesesteak sandwich was absolutely phenomenal and absolutely giant. Our waitress was Andrea and she could not have been any more pleasant fun and accommodating! This was overall a great experience for us.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stopped by for lunch and absolutely loved it! I had the coffee-rub ribeye fresh , juicy, and packed with flavor. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The renovations look fantastic and give the place an even inviting atmosphere, and the new pool tables are a great touch. Super food, service and atmosphere….a true hidden gem in Citra!

Had the pizza cheesesteak and the chicken parm sandwich. Both sandwiches were excellent. The fries were hot and fresh and the environment was awesome! Even played a game of pool while our food was being prepared. I highly suggest stopping here.

I found out about this place from a Facebook postcl claiming they have the best philly cheese steak in central Florida and my wife loves her a good philly. They are only about 45 minutes from home and I decided to take the drive. Feom the outside, the place shows its age a bit, as everything else in the Citra area. Once you walk through the doors however, you are met with a classic diner experience. The staff is kind and welcoming and was excited to hear how far we drive just to try their philly. There was a 20 person party filling up the main dining area, so we got a table in the side room with the pool tables, air hockey table and dart board. We looked over the menu to see if there was anything else we had to try as well and the side of the menu blew us away for such a small diner. We placed an order for sweet teas and had our food options chosen by the time the drinks arrived. We were warned of the extended wait time due to the large party, but we didn't mind as we chose to play pool while we waited. We ordered a classic philly and the Hawaiian chicken sandwhich, as my wife just had to try it. Despit3 how busy the diner was, the server still gave us plenty of attention and made sure our drinks stayed full and checked in on us often, which in itself, was quite surprising. I was wondering what made them so proud of their cheese steaks and got the answers i was looking for. One of the ladies in charge is from south philly, which means she has the experience needed to make a proper chease steak. But also, they import in Cooper Sharp cheese from Philadelphia. This is the truest philly i have had outside of the Philadelphia region of PA. At this point, i agree with the claim that this tiny diner that most non locals have never heard of, makes the best philly in central Florida. The Hawaiian chicken sandwich was also very noteworthy, the pineapple and chicken combo is always a win, but the house made honey mustard that went on it, truly brought it together. We also enjoyed the best chilli cheese fried that either of us have ever eaten, the house made chilli is delicious! We are looking forward to our mext visit and am planning a group event with some friends that will bring us back soon. Thank you Flyers Cafebstaff for making us feel welcomed and appreciated. Sadly, i just realized that the photo i took of the perfect philly wasn't saved and am thoroughly disappointed by that.

Breakfast is great. The grits are amazing. Creamy and perfectly seasoned. No need for butter or salt. Asked for bacon well done and it came out perfect. Service was spot on. Mimosa was delicious, but could use a bit more juice. It's a definite must try. We'll be returning the next time we're in town.

Came here to give the server Andrea a huge shout out. My girlfriend and I visited today, Saturday during the lunch rush around 1. Andrea was the only server due to the other one leaving sick. At one point she was helping as many as 9 tables at once. Some people were grumpy and not understanding of the situation. She was very pleasant considering the situation along with her dealing with some not so nice people. We even offered to help her take drink orders due to her not having any help, but she declined. She was amazing. Now the food.. we both ordered the cheesesteaks and they were phenomenal. It was definitely worth the wait. We will definitely be back. Especially after seeing how hard Andrea worked and make what could of been a disastrous first visit, to a great visit with all things considered!

Food was the best! Had their special meatloaf! Excellent, a little spicy but that's what I like! Philly steak sandwich also excellent. Service excellent! If your in Citra highly recommend!

I walked in and was greeted warmly by their amazing staff. I got there around 10 a.m not knowing they were not serving lunch yet, but I was there for this philly cheese steak that I have been seeing advertised. Michelle one of the owners was amazingly accommodating and let me order off the lunch menu even though it was so early. I waited only 15 minutes and my food was piping hot and ready to eat, so I made my way home. I ate one fry as I was driving and couldn't helpmyself to eating the whole box before I got home because they were so fresh, super crispy, fluffy on the inside and seasoned to perfection. I made it home and ate the philly cheese steak and as somebody that has tried 100s of cheesesteak throughout florida I can say this is one of THE BEST cheesesteaks in florida. The meat is perfectly juicy, the cheese is so gooey and meaty, onions peppers and mushroom also cooked to perfection, the bread is soft but has a satisfying bite to it. Everything about it was amazing, I will definitely be back to sit down and try more of their menu! Michelle and Mark the owners are awesome and I would recommend anybody craving an authentic philly cheesesteak to stop by and enjoy their masterpiece. Godbless you guys and keep up the good work!

Always great service and great food at Flyers Cafe the waitress is really great had a great personality even though my husband like to tease her a lot
