Mystery Diner: Flo's On Pulaski Serves Up Tremendous Tenderloins!

By Mystery Diner

The daily special that caught my eye this time was the chicken Oscar — a special that's in the restaurant's regular rotation. The entree is a lightly battered chicken breast topped with a butter sauce and crab meat on top of a bed of rice and served with asparagus. This is a keeper. None of the flavors were overdone and complemented each other well, making each bite a perfect mix of a creamy and rich (but not too rich) sauce and fried chicken. My dinner companion ordered the quarter fried chicken light, which is a breast and a wing served up crispy and crunchy with cole slaw, choice of potato, bread and spaghetti and Illinois Valley ravs – all for $10.

We started the meal off with an appetizer of the garlic and mozzarella ($4.95) – which are similar to the garlic nuggets served across the area, but filled with a bite of melted cheese. And then we topped it off with the homemade dessert special of apple crisp, which came with a serving of vanilla ice cream to complement the crisp. With fall around the corner, this was the perfect seasonal dish. All together, our bill was at about $43 – making Flo's an excellent choice to get homemade food at affordable prices. At the time, Flo's was only serving carryouts and curbside pickups because of the coronavirus. I was able to phone in the order and pick up my food at the front door. Give them between a half hour and 45 minutes to make your food.
