i absolutely love flame broiler!!! But the cashier at this place ( a man with a ponytail) i suspect ss the owner is so RUDE! he has a very Sarcastic attitude, cant even ask for a extra cup of water, plate fork etc..i have only came here because at the moment it was the closest one.Iactually dreaded asking for my order. He is a very scary guy. HINT for the business GET A FRIENDLIER CASHIER but flame broiler still the best food around ! read more

They never open in time is not dependable, when it says open at 1015 people shouldnt wait till 1025 because the owner decided to open late that day. Especially when theres alot of people outside in time of opening and he sees that he just ignores them and lets them wait 10 minutes more to open and the attitude he has is bad many times too. Edit 2/25/16 I am changing my rating to 4 stars because the owner is aware of the ratings and has been working hard to change the way he treats costumers and tries to be nicer and more attentive to the costumer so I hope this keeps up. I am not giving it 5 stars simply because its still never open on time always opens 10 or more minutes late. read more

Everyone hates on Ed... If you're polite and don't dick around, he's a very nice guy. I eat here 4-5 times per week for lunch, both Ed and his son Eddie are awesome and professional. I have eaten at nearly every flame broiler I've passed driving around SoCal and their food is by far the best. Could be that it's fresh because i'm always here at lunch and there's high turnover but i digress.... A bit like the soup Nazi, know what you want (menu isn't that big, people) and listen for your order number and I think you'll find the owner to be a nice guy. Ask 1500 questions about salad dressings and ask for extra white meat to be substituted for carrots and you'll likely find him to be a business owner that doesn't much care to deal with the ignorant general public. Can't say i blame him. read more

I'm back and giving them two more star. The biker dude actually greeted with a smile. Not sure if he reads the reviews but what ever it is good for him. Also like the the new bigger deeper bowls, the food is not falling over the rim anymore:) read more

This Flame Broiler is a great place to eat some healthy food options. I always get the white chicken with brown rice and broccoli. The service is fantastic. The owners are very nice and welcoming and you can tell that they appreciate your business. They have nice working TV's and a clean set up. The location is a bit hidden with not a lot of traffic. Because we like the owners, we don't mind driving a little farther away to give them our business. read more

the best FB hands down! I've been to others, and they all leave the bowls with air. not this one. they stuff the hell out of those bowls, they put a rubber band on the lid so it wouldn't pop off. (now they have bigger bowls.) everyone's complaining about the owner, but he just seems like a regular guy operating his business...if you don't like him, take your business elsewhere. but you'll be disappointed. read more

Place is excellent. By far the best Flame Broiler so far. I've tried dozens of different locations and this one keeps me the happiest. They pack the meat and rice down with the lid! read more

Chicken was not fresh had funny taste and owner had a bad attitude .. never going back to eat here again

Staff are kind, fast and friendly. Be prepare to pickup and go. Definitely will return the next time I am in the area.

Love this Flame Broiler! Staff are always nice. Restaurant is always clean and very timely.

I came here the other night to grab a quick bit it was 7:30 and they close at 8. She wouldn't let me eat my food there because they were closing which was horrible I still had 30 mins. This place has the most dumbest hours they are only open on certain days and hours... make sure you go two hours before so you can eat your food Incase they tell you, Your not allowed to eat there because they are closing soon. They act like your using the whole restaurant. read more

Good and healthy food ! Always fast services when ordered and fresh. Very clean flame broiler and lots of spaces to sit and eat.

Flame broiler can't not go wrong with this good healthy food the service is great the place is nice and clean. everything is great here. You haven't been here you need to go !!! read more

Flame Broiler - Half and half - Chicken Shop Near Me - Corona, California

See all

The owner Eddie is as abrasive as steel wool and rude. I have visited this location 3 times, 2 of those times I have been unfortunate to encounter the owner himself. He always acted like I am bothering him when the only exchange I have had w/ him was placing a simple order. Heaven forbid if I asked for a water cup or plastic bag because he will then look at you with disdain. I am glad That there are others on Yelp that has experienced this horrible uncalled for treatment from the owner. I would not recommend anyone to come to this Flame Broiler. Since there is a no star selection, I am reluctantly giving 1 star. read more

I remember when this place first opened, my mother-in-law and I would pick up dinner for the family after work. The owner ( old gentleman with the ponytail ) was very nice each time. I'm not really sure why this has changed over the years. He almost always acts irritated and he rolled his eyes at me today! W.T.H! I ordered a chicken plate and remembered that my husband wanted veggies as well. So I asked the owner to add veggies to the plate. He rolled his eyes and said "well then if that's what you wanted, you should have ordered the chicken AND vegetable plate". Okay. It's really not that serious bro! It's just so disappointing because their food has always been delicious. I've never had any issues with that. But do I really want to support this guy with my hard earned money??? No, I don't think I do. read more

I love flame broiler and the is my first visit to this location. Almost left because the owner was so rude! I would rather drive across town to the other flame broiler where they are at least nice! Don't waste your money giving it to this asshole. read more

I love this place always super busy but i know y it is so good and worth the wait been here 10 times lol will be back again love it im always craving it it is so delicious. thank you :D i recomend you try . read more

Today was my first and last time at this Flame Broiler. I've never been treated so rudely! Never coming back here ever again. He made me and my friend feel so uncomfortable placing an order especially when we asked for a cup of water. Maybe it's because we are Mexican? Because he didn't treat the other customers rudely like he did to us. Who knows, but it was so bad that I had to get on here and write a review. Terrible terrible service. read more

Crappy service. The guy at the register is EXTREMELY RUDE! I will never eat there again!

If I could give less than a star I would. The cashier and service here were horrible. He didn't allow me to order what I always order at every other Flame Broiler. I usually don't write reviews, but people need to be aware of this place. read more

I love this place. They have great teriyaki. I used to order the plates because it seemed like more food, but was more expensive. Then I figured that they pile food on the bowls & they're only $5.45. I prefer the "Works" bowl because it has it all, chicken, beef, veggies & rice. The only thing with this specific place is that its packed at lunch time. You wait in line to order & then you wait for your food. It's worth it though. read more

Been to this location 4 times, and each time I get the same guy at the counter, hes younger - I'm always there around 6pm night shift. I had to write this review simply because every-time I walk out of this place I leave asking myself why there aren't more cashiers like him. He is extremely courteous and helpful and all he does is take my order! The perfect example of a customer service clerk. The food here is always top notch and seems fresh, the restaurant is always clean and orderly. No complaints here. read more

I don't usually like to give bad reviews but I have to put my input about this location!!! I was going to order a mini bowl w veggies when the cashier was very arrogant and rude! He didn't even let me finish my sentence when he flat out said NO ! I replied w a no ? And he said no again ! Wtf kind of customer service is this !!! I'm very disappointed ! The only reason I gave one star is because the food is good. But if you own a business, you Shoulf know customer service is important ! read more

Food was great and quick. Terrible service. Plain rude to every customer in there. Never coming back to this location. Go to the one on Lincoln if you can. read more

Can't go wrong with flame broiler. This location is right across the street from our house. Owners are nice and they even have NHL network on the TVs inside. read more

By far the BEST Flame Broiler in Corona! Always SO clean! The food is delish & the owners son is extremely welcoming and nice! 5 star treatment all the way! :) read more

I just have to say what a great place it was to eat at today. Edward was wonderful. He had a smile and was very up beat. While we were eating he asked if we need anything and made sure everyone was taking care of. While he was cleaning the tables he was singing and you could tell he like's his job. Also, if you do eat there listen very carefully and you can here him play his guitar in the back. He plays very well. read more

I would take a clean place and good food over a smile any day. The owner is a older gentlemen who is always there, so maybe he's just tired. He's not that bad and the food is great!!! You order your bowl and eat. People seriously are way to sensitive and judgmental. People are probably judging him on his looks, which is just wrong. He's no ball of sunshine but I'm there for food and a clean place to eat, not to make friends. read more

I have been going to Flame Broiler for YEARS and actually worked for a Flame Broiler! when I visit a place I expect the food to be about half the experience and the other half based on the customer service, and the service here is HORRIBLE! the older man working in front is the owner and he always works the front register and is VERY unhospitable and rude to everyone everytime i come in there. I went in there today and politley asked for an extra bag for my sauces after he handed me my three bowls i ordered because they are very prone to opening and getting all over the rest of the food, and he rudely told me i had enough room in my bag for them. Excuse me sir! but you should be thankful that I am taking money out of my pocket to help keep you're store in business! this guy needs a 101 in Customer Service! read more

Each time I have eaten here the food was enjoyable however I would like a little bit of flexibility, have asked for a change up with this or that but the answer has always been, 'no'. Each time I have been there the older guy working the counter is always less that friendly. It amazes me because we are patrons spending our money at this place of business instead of many other places close by. I ran a small business for 5 years in the same industry. Being kind, polite and welcoming goes miles for return business. read more

Flame broiler is good, got it yesterday. The only thing is sometimes the food does not seem fresh. Bit usually pretty good

I wanted to review this Flame Broiler because of the great service we got last week - sure, the food is good & healthier than most 'fast' options - but good customer service is also worth mentioning! The young guy behind the counter must be part of the family that runs the place (we heard another customer say to him 'So you're giving your dad the night off?') and he was extremely polite, patient & pleasant. He carefully explained the menu options and did it with a big smile. He really seemed to genuinely care, and it was very refreshing! At first we were the only people in the place - it's tucked in the corner of a quiet strip mall, so maybe not the best location. I go to a Flame Broiler by my work in Costa Mesa and that one is always PACKED, not the case with this one... (I was sad to read the other reviews that said the owner was rude - if it is indeed this cashier's dad, he could use some lessons from his son!) read more

Awesome food.. if you want fresh cooked food an great portions this is the spot. By far the best flame broiler ive been to.

I tried the combo plate with brown rice to get a taste of almost everything and it was delicious, Prepared hot & fresh, it was a very satisfying meal. Loved both the magic sauce and the hot sauce. The beef, which needed no additional sauce, was much tastier than the chicken and I would definitely recommend the veges, but I will stick to the bowls next time. The sides were kind of pointless on the plate. Although I enjoyed the cabbage salad, the best part was the sesame dressing and the california orange was not very good at all. All in all, I will definitely plan to return for Flame Broiler again. read more

Nice owner and super fast service. Food is always fresh and tastes great. Clean restaurant and restrooms (perhaps because I'm there early in the day). read more

Food is still great, and I have noticed a huge change in the attitude of the staff. Flame Broiler is always a good go-to lunch stop.

Food is great, better than other FBs I've been to. Go late, because every negative review on here is right on the money. The owner, Eddie works the day shift and he's a major a-hole. His son works the p.m shift and he's incredibly polite and pleasant. The apple fell FAR from the tree that time. Seriously the guy is such a jerk it's almost funny. For whatever reason their food is better than any other FB I've been to. Go figure. read more

I really enjoy eating at The Flame Broiler! This place is UNCOMFORTABLE the older guy working at the counter is very inhospitable and discourteous!!! I'm paying for my food, I'm not begging for food i rather go some where else with my $$$. read more

Owner is a dick!!!! I saw a gentlemen ask him for a side plate for his bowl he had already ordered while I was in line. He just looked at the guy and shook his head for 3 long seconds without saying a word like he asked him if he could borrow a billion dollars! He lost a customer cause I cant put up with people like that! Rather drive to the one off Ontario even though its further. read more

Great food but the ZZ top wannabe cashier/owner has no concept of customer service. Saw him argue with a customer in front of me about what "Togo" number he called. He then proceeded to argue with me that no store makes a mini chicken veggie bowl ... He backed off when I asked if he wanted me to list off 10 other locations that make the bowl. Last visit to this location ... Drive the extra distance and bypass this location ... And order the mini chicken veggie ;) read more
