For the better part of the last decade, Flying Heart Brewing and Pub has been a cornerstone of the Bossier City East Bank District. It is one of the most sought-after casual dining atmospheres in the Shreveport-Bossier area.
Over the years, I have been a very frequent customer at Flying Heart and have found that they are almost never having a slow day. I remember one time I had to wait for a table at 3 p.m. on a Saturday; there was no big game or anything, just a bunch of people wanting some good food.
Flying Heart does not have a bunch of appetizers, only three in fact, and they are all good. There is no visit of mine that doesn’t include the pretzel bites. I get it with the beer cheese dip and could just eat those all day.
I have always been a lover of the Shrooms n’ Sausage pizza; it’s my main go-to order. I do not like cauliflower but a friend of mine kept trying to convince me to order mine with the cauliflower crust. It took multiple visits for him to convince me to go for it and I’m glad I did because it adds so much, keeping all the flavors of the original pizza without the traditional, thicker crust. It also has less carbs, making my doctor happy, I’m sure.
Pizza is by no means the only thing Flying Heart offers; they have been known for their wings just as much as the pizza. They come with bone-in or boneless and have multiple flavor choices. I pretty sure I’ve tasted them all except the hot buffalo, with the garlic parmesan being my favorite. Just ask for extra napkins. You’ll need them.
A few months ago, I wasn’t looking for anything heavy, so I tried the club wrap. It was just right, with all fresh meats and toppings. Ever since, I have to ask myself if I want pizza, wrap, or wings, which just goes to show how complete their menu is, a great range especially when you have a group with varying tastes.
I have yet to try a salad on Flying Heart’s menu, but I have seen them being brought to other tables and they are huge. There is no doubt it’s dinner and lunch the next day. As spring comes, maybe I will try one for myself — or will my go-to choices win out?
I have yet to make it through my meal with room for dessert, but neither has anyone else who’s been with me. Nothing wrong with being full and satisfied every time I go there.
