Flipdaddy's opens in Newport

There's a new place to eat at Newport Pavilion. Flipdaddy's Burgers opened April 30 in the retail development off Interstate 471.

It's the fourth location for locally owned Flipdaddy's, which opened first in Columbia Township just outside Mariemont, then added stores in Union and Symmes townships.

The restaurant serves burgers made with a particular blend of beef brisket, short rib and chuck. The burgers are offered with thematic toppings (such as The Chuck Norris, the Swiss Bliss, the Pablano Picasso). Also on the casual menu: other sandwiches, including fish tacos, veggie burger, a mushroom sandwich, sides such as griddled mac and cheese, salads and appetizers including Buffalo chicken dip, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus and chicken wings.

Flipdaddy's also have a good selection of craft beer, with 36 on tap in the new restaurant. In fact, the chain's full name is Flipdaddy's Brilliant Burgers and Craft Beer.

The Pavilion location is 6,000 square feet with outdoor seating, a fire pit and private rooms. The menu is the same as the other locations. It is open 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Monday–Thursday; 11 a.m.–11 p.m., Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Sunday.
