Who are you? Cindy Flynn. I co-own Flynnie's with my husband, Mike.
Tell us about yourselves. Mike has always dreamed of opening his own restaurant. Mike grew up in Dixon and around the restaurant business with his aunt and uncle owning the Forest Inn in Forreston. He started dishwashing at 11 years old, standing on a milk carton, since his mom was a waitress. Mike's love of cooking developed shortly into his high school career. He worked at a few restaurants and often cooked to feed himself.
Mike attended Dixon High School, class of 1980. That’s when we met. Mike and I met on homecoming night at Sterling, where I went to school. We just met at the bowling alley. Six months later, we got married. We’ve been married 33 years.
We have two kids, Cory Flynn, 32, of Dixon, and Derrick Flynn, 29, of Rock Falls, and five grandchildren.
Additional comments? We love to think of all our customers as family. We pride ourselves on exceptional service and how each meal is prepared. We want everyone's experience here to be welcoming and inviting.
