Reviews of Flames (Restaurant)

Laura Amaya

Love this place! Food is phenomenal for the portion and price and the people are the sweetest!!

Al Stokes

Curry goat nice and tender The Taste is spot-on good dish so I had to get the stew chicken to go damn am I glad I did it's even better than the goat only because one is spicy and the other on the sweet and you get plenty of food for your money ..they have like three other dishes I need to try so I will go back again and again..

Phillip McIntosh

Amazing food and friendly staff

Ronald Polanco

Perfect place to get a home cooked meal. The flavor of their food is always on point and you'll remember it for months. The service is just as amazing as the food.

k cox

Food was just okay. Rice was sticky avd chicken wasn't fresh.

Latoya W

Soup is amazing!

Mary Soben

Ok, Disrespect in past

Stacy

This is a Jamaican restaurant chain with roots in Boston, Mass. I liked this location in Providence, RI. The lady server was nice and the food was fresh. They carry many traditional Jamaican dishes, snacks and beverages.

C Nicole

fiya fiya fiyaaa! lol foods Great

Kathleen Jefferson

One of my favorite restaurants ever. Fantastic, traditional Jamaican comfort food! Warm, friendly staff. Great vibe... Flames is FIYA!

Jeremy Palma

Curry chicken, Jerked Chicken is always Great! Oxtails & coco rice is my fave & its fire even tho yall could have gave a few more oxtails lol but jokes aside i'd recommend to anyone needing some authentic island taste from the Caribbean in lil' Rhode island!

Ginn Globis

Outstanding...the portions are way bigger than the price you pay...authentic, staff very nice, super atmosphere.....

david massiah

They have the best beef patty's I have ever had.

Vanessa Martin

Oxtail the best

Alexandria

Great service & food!

aisha faze

They are so funny and cool. I wanted Jerk Chicken and a side of Plantain.... the owner said no

O'Key Casey

The meats are especially tasty, the rest kinda average or slightly less.

Denzel Wilson

When i have last went their, there was no menu were i could see the prices so it cost me a lot of confusion. This allows when there is no menu for the price to be change at anytime without you even knowing.

James Brown

Food was just Ok

christian andrade

Always fun place with delicious food

Christina Jester

The food was so so so so good!!! The guy behind the register was so friendly and awesome! He picked out a drink for my husband and I (with no reference to what we like) and the drinks were perfect and delicious. I would highly recommend this place! Respect!

Mercedes Freeman

The food was hot and fresh the staff was very friendly and extremely helpful . handsdown the best!!!

Edward Raff

Cheap and really good

Brenlie Ramos

Awful customer service

Allsey Mcbile

I wasted $20.00 of my hard working earned money for an upset stomach and throwing up. It tasted so damn good until my stomach started bubbling. Someone was lazy back there on the temps/sanitation &/or cooking I am disappointed and traumatized.

Jhonnetta Peavy

Food is bad don't give you alot for the price, way overpriced, flavorless and the sadess thing is they are very ugly acting, unfriendly, bad attitude having people. Poor customer service. In my book they are wack food gives you a roaring case of heartburn and a tore of stomach I rate them a -10 for heartburn alone, good Lord have mercy.

M Carey

Flames is definitely authentic Jamaican fare, toned down, just a bit, for the American palate. Great variety. If you already know about jerk chicken, try the salmon...or the sweet chili wings.

Fred Ricketts

Good place to eat

Jennah Kratochwill

Came here today for lunch, and I'm so glad I did. I had the stew beef with rice and beans and collard greens; it was amazing! So many great flavors.

J. Epraim

Okay food, much better Jamaican style restaurants around providence. The most upsetting experience is the lack of cleanliness with one employee. The young man serving food in the morning/afternoon does not wash his hands properly..clear view of black dirt caked up under his fingernails. Nor does he wear gloves..eww. I will not be going to that location unless the 2 older gentleman are there after 4pm.

Simone Watts

Not well seasoned and over priced for nothing. Also the women in this establishment have a poor attitude.. How dare i ask what is in the pan in front of me.

Sh'Nardria Peterson

1. The restaurant is clean and it looks nice inside. *parking is a little tricky so be mindful* 2. The staff was courteous and pleasant to speak to 3. The portions and price are very good. 4. The food tastes amazing. It definitely hit the spot for me and reminded me of back home. 5. This place has a laid back vibe with many options to choose from. My new home away from home Jamaican restaurant.

Danielle A

Awesome food I love there curried goat. Best place in town in my opinion

jay johnson

I’m giving them a 3 solely on customer service . The food is great and I have no complaints on it at all . They are very unprofessional , slow and borderline harass women . Myself and a friend of mine couldn’t sit down and eat because the older gentlemen who rung up our order was spending majority of his time flirting and now paying ANY ATTENTION to the rest of the customers . I went on a different day and the same man rang my order. He kept trying to hold my hand while I gave him my debit card and trying to get my number. He also kept biting his lips at me and I was so annoyed that I have made the decision to not go back there . I felt bad for the rest of the customers because he spent literally 5 minutes harassing me that the line started to build up and no one started their orders .

Darren Thomas

Went there with my boss to pick up supper for our crew. We ended up being the last customers of the night. Super great people. Had no problem with us taking our time with the food order. Great price, super big take out container filled with outstanding food. They have multiple sizes for containers. We got mediums and to be honest I would say the amount of food in the med sz was like getting 3x that sz. Great food..

Lauren Doughty

BEST stewed beef and green beans Got a good rubadub after I drank the sorrel juice but not by the white boi who got it for me! Sticking with the Jamrox who can rub that ish right . Great food and BEST service. Beautiful people and lovely personalities on everyone who works so hard to.make that food 100%+++!! Will definitely be back soon... Thank you!!

violet von vexx

The food is bomb BUT! they open 3 hours before they have any food ready to sell you Me an a friend woke up at 8am an waited till 9 witch is an hour after they open It took ya 20 mins to walk there That’s an hour an 20mins we Gave them to cook the food when we get there there’s rice an greens layed out but we was told it would take another 2 hours till there food would completely done Why would this restaurant open at 8am an not have there food done till 11am This was a surprise to me because I have been there around the same time before an they had food prepared around this time so my friend an I tried to look up other restaurants but we only had a taste for there food LONG STORY SHORT!! we had noodles for breakfast and they missed out on a lot of money because we was going to order a lot of food

Julio Fundora

Best Jamaican food in new England and the singing guy is such a great part to the establishment. Highly recommended across the board.

Your lit Gamer kid

The food is great, I'm always going in on the jerk chicken, rice and cabbage!!!!

FLEXMAN JOHNSON

Great Jamaican Food

jigs senator

The food is really good and one large plate is almost enough for two people (1 adult & 1 child). Parking is minimal so be prepared to park on the street. The variety of Jamaican food is amazing and so far no matter what you choose it will be awesome.

Joshua Francis

Great little Jamaican restaurant. Awesome food and drinks. The one negative is its small dining area, it's better to grab the food and leave. There's just not enough room if you have more than 1 person with you or they're busy to actually sit down and eat. Otherwise, great spot.

Ms. Beerus

Really good Jamaican food!

Kirk Taylor

Good food and pleasant staff

Catherine Holder

Authentic Jamaican food best in town.

Raging Content

Food is hella good

Rodrick Morestein

My favorite place for Caribbean or Jamaican cuisine. Fair prices good variety and friendly service.

Amirelis Alexander

Oxtail was overcooked and not very flavorful. They didn't have sweet plantains so I was very disappointed. I've defitnetly had better Jamaican food.

Katya Kouptsova

Amazing food!

John Bevilaqua

This place was one of the most amazing Carribbean restaurants I ever visited. Right near RI Hospital too. The flame broiled taste of everything was great and the sauces were all homemade too. Late hours make it a special treat for the convenience. Plantains, pulled pork, rice and beans.. all well prepared and right across from LabCorp and the Emergency room.

gacha hell

J Frost

These people are rude. They treat you like you are bothering them or begging. I wont be back.

Satta Jangaba

Good food

Poppy Smellington

Good food and large portions.

Jho Auguste

food is great. bun and cheese is great. my suggestion is to get oxtail on side for it tends to drop inside the bag. also... the oxtail can be cooked to a lower temp so it can be tender... i ordered a large with curry goat(which was fine) but the oxtail was a little tougher than usual.

Tashanneak Daley

Best Jamaican restaurant in Rhode Island

Charlette S

Food was excellent! It was nicely seasoned. Easy to get to off the highway.

Johnny Saint

Good Caribbean food

Kevin Mcfadden

Beef paty's are great, curry goat is outstanding. Highly recommend.

Kelly Spires

Too slow too much confusion and they get the orders mix up

D J

Love my sweet chicken!!! Be prepared to wait in the line for a while.. their pretty slow, should definelty have another cashier and have more of a sense of urgency .The dude that rings in your order is something else lol.. be prepared! it's either you love him or hate him , either way it won't bother him. lol

Jessica Olawoye

Wonderful service! Great portions! Fair prices! I'd post a pic but I inhaled my food... literally

jorge abreu

Great food!!! Guys are funny and clean environment..

linda Marchando

Great food and they have faster service now. Love to hear the men serving sing the Jamaican songs.

Davlyn Diaz

Great food. I would have given a 5 if customer service was better. They are nice though.

Edwin Abreu

OMG!! They take jamaican style oxtail to the next level. ALWAYS on point. Curry chicken or shrimp is also great. I cannot complain at all. Every time is super delicious. Guaranteed!

Ryan Desabre

Love love this place! Great variety and portions, reasonably priced!

Peter Johnson

Good food and services

Manuel

Seriously amazing food. Workers a bit odd but maybe that's just a cultural difference? Huge portions!

Christen Maktilla

Food is delicious and service is great love this place

Michael Somero

Got their jerk chicken (sauce on side) and salmon. Sides of cabbage, mac and cheese, green beans. Also tried the yellow rice and rice with beans. It was all so delicious and definitely gives you a feel you are in Jamaica! Would for sure go back anytime we are back in town!!! D&G ginger beer!!!

Jerediah Gonzalez

Nest Jamaican food in Providence . Reasonably priced. We drive across from time to time just to eat!

Rasharra Hines

I love the food and they have great service

James Lasalle

Great food but alittle overpriced and not alot of parking or dining room space. They put their food in styrofoam which takes away from the flaver. My favorite is the ox tail and mac & cheese.

Cat Ratliff

Best Jamaican food in town!

Christopher Johnson

Love this place

juana pina

Good

Stacy-Ann Francis

Great food. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! The music in the restaurant is deafening so do not try dining in, you can barely make your order without shouting. The Cashier was cashing and sharing food at the same time while an older man returned from what appeared to have been his smoke break and began flirting with some female customers as opposed to assisting the Cashier with the line. The service is extremely poor and unless you are deaf and have all day to wait for a plate of food i wouldn't suggest. P.S I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE BEING POOR, MANAGER OR OWNER OF THE ESTABLISHMENT NEEDS TO INTERVENE ASAP! Or do you not value your customers??

Hazem Abdo

Very good

Kendall Murrell

Excellent food great costumer service and great

Sam The-Rhuler

Sir Fox & Company - di food SELL OFF!

R Pierre

Food was tasty! Kind service. My daughter is a very picky eater but she loved the oxtail! Thanks

Rydell Simons

If you love Jamaican go here. But be prepared to.... 1.) Have to shout your order because the music while nice is too loud. 2.) Wait for a server because they are busy doing their own thing in the kitchen. I actually felt sorry for the girl who was trying to serve and cash out while...... 3.) The old guy who thinks he's young outside shouting on the phone while the shop fills up with customers. . 4.) Have some dude walked out of the kitchen see people waiting and wonder back in the kitchen. Good food bad bad bad service and attitude. Too bad there isn't another place in the area.

SG2Productions

Great Jamaican food selection. The food is seasoned nice and isnt spicy. The music and atmosphere gives you a cultural feel of Jamaica.

Ben S

The food is amazing and the people are even better. Every dish is out of this world.

Evita Louissaint

Not enough staff at busy times. The line was going out the door, so it took 30mins just to get some food. The music was so loud they could barely hear my order. At least after all this, the food was good and so was the pricing.

Larry Livingstone

Excellent food and always service with a smile...mac and cheese and sweet chili wings are fire....never mind all the other food...I love this place

Jaime Velazquez-Garcia

Great classic Jamaican food, exactly what'd you expect from a mom & pop.

Nariq Richardson

This is a nice place to visit if you're interested in jamaican food/Caribbean food

Tina Allen

Great food and very nice staff

Cynthia Couto

Excellent Jamaican oxtail meat and the salmon was superb!

David Atandi

Value for money, good portions of food with good variety. I have been surviving on their meals for the last two weeks and so far so good. Play more reggae music please. Keep up and do even better

Henry G

Great food and great vibes. Nice to eat in as well and listen to some great reggae music while you dine on the best Jamaican food in RI.

Ojiugo Omeoga

I'm giving one star only because there's no option for negative ten star. While the food is reasonably good, it is not worth the horrible customer service you'll experience here. Today, the rudeness and harassment was just so much I walked out to never come back again. Save yourself the stress and go somewhere else. Truth be told, you can probably make better version of the dishes yourself.

Khadijah Jenkins

Not that great severed me cold chicken 12pm

Wendy Starr

I love the food. Each and every plate

Lacie Brown

I'm Jamaican and I think the food was really good, but they didn't have everything that was on the menu. I wanted to order Patty and Cowfoot, but it wasn't available. Other than that and the kinda rude customer service, I think Flames was really good.

Nathan Jackson Sr.

Y’all need to eat this place!! My very keeping restaurant for my curry goat dinner plate!!! PULL UP!!

nilton maia

Goin again n again

Carla Penn

Great food

Lemeah Tarkpor

horita graham

The service from one guy in particular is amazing, hes always friendly and pleasant.

Manny Gasu

Nice food but poor customer service. Older lady server is mean and rude to customers.

Big Jum

Had 3 items... everything was tasty!...I enjoyed my saltfish.... curry goat and curry chicc... only thing i had issues with was the green beans... they were pretty tough tough to chew and the younger girl, server... she seemed to be upset I didn't know the routine being it was my first time there!... otherwise food was pretty good

Mac Carr

Great flavors. Good price. Large portions!

Brother howard washington

Awsome food Excellent service and prices

Alexandria Wright

good food but after a couple visits its gets kinda redundant

DonShark52 GR00V3R

Ras star very delicious

Blair Walker

Some of the best Caribbean cuisine I have ever tasted in my life, and I'm almost thirty so that should count. Atmosphere is fire maybe that's why they call it flames. I also did the music they play.

Shaun Sterling

Best brown stew chicken I've ever had! Food is authentic Jamaican, and the atmosphere is very upbeat. Accept no substitutes!

milana jay

It’s ok, the one in Boston has a little more flavor and spice..

Ashley McCloud

The food and service is amazing! I go there most of the time. The amount of food they gave me is great! Its definitely worth the price. The employees are nice to me as well..i enjoy interacting with them--they're funny and cool.

nicholas omphroy

Food was fresh and expertly seasoned meat , the vegetables (callaloo) was delightful ,Sophie as usual was friendly charming and a warm host I make a point of going to Flames in the morning when she usually is there

Esteban ortiz

Foods good the people are nive quality varies day to day but overall enjoyable

Marie Williams

Flames is very good

Tatiana Garces

Good food, good folks

Kevin Delane

There is literally no better spot in Providence to get delicious and authentic Jamaican cooking. Super friendly staff and the prices there are more than resonable. If I could eat there everyday I would.

Takeia Collins

African Girl

I like this place. like jamaican food n theirs good.

Carlton Rutherford

Very good food, great selection of Jamaican food.. curry goat/chicken/crab & shrimps, jerk chicken & pork, chilli jerk chicken, stew beef and a other dishes to water the appetite. Service is great and owner is always in a true island mood...love eating there...eat in or take out

Rochelle Baker

Best King fish in Rhode Island.

Kay-Leah Housen

Delicious food, cant say it enough. The place is small so you cant sit down to eat with a large party. And the parking is rather horrendous.

Skyla S

They're only getting 2 stars because the food is good. The people who worl there are SO RUDE its not even believable. As the guy was making my plate i asked him to put an extra scoop of rice and he did, but then he put like a half of a scoop of cabbage on my plate. I wanted to say something about it but i didnt wanna be difficult so i just looked at it and frowned and let him keep going. I guess he noticed i was disappointed because this man literally looked me dead in the eye and said "fix your face." Not even like whats wrong, or, is there a problem... "Fix your face." Is that not rude in Jamaica?? So i told him he dont need to worry about my face, im a paying customer, all you need to concern yourself with is my money. Then when he was making my friends plate we asked if she could have the collards instead of the cabbage, he tried to charge us extra for collard greens! I went there before when the two ladies who usually work were there and they never tried to charge me extra to have greens instead of cabbage. And then when we checked out, with three very full plates, the guy at the register put everything into one bag. So i asked if he could double bag it because we're walking and we dont want the bag to break. He started shaking the bag and said "its fine it wont break." So what?! Its a 15 minute walk from here to my house. The handles will weaken. Just give me an extra bag! So i told him ill pay for the extra bag if its that big of a deal. He said "dont assume." My friend was confused but i knew exactly what he meant. He thought i assumed a bag costs more. And he was right. If you give me a hard time for asking for an extra bag you must want more money. This is the 2nd bad encounter ive had there. I wont go back. Which is sad, because the food is really good. But not good enough to make up for their nasty attitudes.

Kerron Henry

Best Flames in New England. One of the big differences is that they serve breakfast all day.

Rigoberto Obando

Foods good but with the customer service being as rude amd condescending, place will not last

Teiem Beats

Always good food mon

kimberly johnson

Food is good but young lady serving food is RUDE. The cashier charges me for things I did not have. So look at your receipt.

michael weeden

Great food every time everybody's finally good reggae music and food is always good jerk chicken is Off the Hook cover chicken bang in Kingfisher slamming

Food good,,Ask the owner if there's coconut milk in the rice and peas ,he will get a kick out of it1 love..

Stephen Cavanaugh

Most authentic Jamaican restaurant around. Fun environment and people. Portions and price are right on. Stop here on a weekly basis. Be adventurous, try something different, maybe cow foot soup?
