Flame Broiler is a quick stop restaurant offering a clean interior and tasty, nutritious choices in San Marco. The staff was welcoming, courteous and eager to serve us upon arrival. I'm not typically a fan of tofu but I wanted to try something new. The vegetables were fresh, cooked well and flavorful as was the tofu. The sauces were great and some of them really packed a punch with the spice. Plenty of parking here which can be a challenge in San Marco, and I found our meal to be reasonably priced as well. I recommend you give them a try if you're looking for fast food that can be healthy at the same time. read more

My husband got a chicken stirfry dish and i tried a small bite of his leftovers and it was honestly super bland. You can taste the flame boiled part of the chicken but otherwise it had no other flavor. The veggie in the stirfry seemed like soggy frozen veggies. He had gotten two entrees (one for him and one for my daughter) and he said both were incredibly bad. read more

One word: meh. Team was friendly but when I asked about the food they were unable to answer my questions and seemed as if they had worked there for a very short time. I ordered a half & half: a bowl of white meat chicken and beef. Unfortunately despite my ordering white meat and paying a premium, I was given dark meat (greasy chicken thighs) And while the spicy sauce was good, the beef was very dry and tasted as if it had been sitting for way too long. I like the sauce selection, but I also didn't realize that the kimchi I was offered was a nearly $4 upcharge (and was cold & slimy, again it had been sitting around way too long). The place is messy and dirty. I gave 2 stars as they were very friendly. read more

Flame Broiler - Beef & chicken bowl...meh - Salad Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The chicken and rice gave me FOOD POISONING. It was my first time trying and it'll be my last. If I could give zero stars, I would.

I got a "Regular" Bowl with Beef, Chicken, Veggies, Avocado. I added some of her "Magic Sauce" which is a soy based sauce, and some of her Jalapeño Hot Sauce... I could have drankkkk the Magic Sauce. Everything was fresh and delicious. Next time I'll get a "Mini Bowl" so I don't eat so much!!!! read more

Flame Broiler - Chicken, Beef Bowl with Brown Rice and Avocado - Salad Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Foods good but the service could use some work why the heck do you wait til after someone orders their food and receives it to tell people y'all close the lobby at 9pm when your hrs say 10 pm ! Mention that before we order and pay we wanted a sit down experience and so we went to the parking lot and ate ! Guess what wasn't closed by the time we were done ?! The dang lobby ! read more

I got a steak bowl. The steak was extremely tough and fatty. The flavor was great, but I wasn't able to chew and had to spit out around a 4th of the meat. I enjoyed the sauce came on the side. When I got the food home, it tasted fresh and not soggy. Looked like an outdated fast food restaurant on the inside. Not what I was expecting. read more

As the saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on me." But, this time it wasn't my mother who tricked me into eating my veggies (or eating healthier.) It was The Flame Broiler and that darn Magic Sauce. Now, I am convinced that healthy eating is the best when it comes to fast food options. After countless suggestions, I found myself dining at their San Marco location for lunch. Their $5 Special (Chicken Bowl with a fountain drink) totally caught me by surprise as I was browsing their menu selections. And the staff was helpful with guiding through my first experience of dining with them. The establishment was clean but, I'm assuming they had a bit of a lunch rush as the napkin container was completely empty which also proved to me that their food must be delicious. This restaurant is true to their mission, a healthier alternative for fast food; and has been placed on my radar for that reason alone. read more

Here's an example of a business that cares. Two weeks ago, I wrote a review based off my experience at Flame Broiler. My experience wasn't all too memorable, compared to other locations I've visited in the past. A day or two later, the franchise owner sent me a heartfelt message on Yelp. Like many businesses in San Marco, they were deeply affected by Hurricane Irma. It really put things in perspective as a consumer. Yes, my experience was true, but many of the things I mentioned, like no A/C and boxes sprawled out on the tables, clearly aren't an indicator of their normal day-to-day operations. I can't imagine the road to recovery for a small business owner. The customer always comes first in business, and it's apparent that Jackie practices this philosophy. I wish Flame Broiler the best of luck on getting back to up to speed, and I will happily come back for dinner in the future! read more

Fast food never looked so yummy. Love grabbing a work lunch from here since it's something a bit different from the usual sandwiches and soups. This is an office favorite actually. If anyone ever says "flame broiler?" there are never any complaints which is so rare! This is an order at the counter and have your bowl created in front of you. Think of subway for korean take out. I love getting a veggie base because then I'm not worried about rice sticking in my teeth all day. Plus it's an easy way to trick myself into eating healthier. They have the protein options of beef, chicken, and tofu. I'm still not brave enough to try the tofu because I don't want to sacrifice my tasty beef! Everything is always seasoned to perfection and cooked really well whether it's the protein, the veggies, or the rice. I would highly recommend this fast food joint. Stop by the sauce bar and grab some magic and hot sauces to go. Be warned the extra hot is exactly that, extra hot! read more

Flame Broiler - Angus Beef Regular Bowl - Salad Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

There's not many happy hour opportunities I get when I'm working during the week, however, I make it my business to get here. All things considered, the San Marco location is walking distance from my job. From the hours of 2p to 5p, you're able to get a mini chicken bowl and drink for under $5. Yeah, I'll take two of those please, one for now and one for an hour from now. If you're thinking of stopping by, there's parking in the back but there's also street parking as well, typically where I go. San Marco is a busy street, be mindful if you're thinking of parking along the front. When you walk in, you'll smell the freshly grilled chicken, see the steam from the veggies and by this point, you're ready to order. Some of your options range from brown or white rice, your veg choices are carrots, broccoli and cabbage. For your protein, there's tofu, chicken and beef stir fry style of meat. In the event you're going for chicken, you can add white meat for an upcharge, although, I'd stick with the dark meat, it's more flavorful. On top, have them add the green onions as an incentive, splurge a little. Before you leave, be sure to walk over to the sauce station and grab their magic sauce and some of their hot sauce. If you're feeling really frisky, get some of the XXX hot sauce. I'm a fan of mixing the magic sauce and XXX, it's a spice take on teriyaki. If you're one that enjoys something simple and a healthier option to Chinese take-out, give Flame Broilers a try. If you're disappointed, hey, well, don't blame me, blame your taste buds. Pffft!! read more

Noone ever wears any gloves, just seen an employee from yesterday walk from the bathroom to BOH didn't wash hands or put gloves on then started to prepare food, so I confronted the lady at the front, and she told me it's not required. Like what? read more

We order through door dash The order had 2 tofu bowls and a tofu plate. The food was edible but not particularly tasty. Also they forgot to include and plastic or napkins My first and last time ordering from them. read more

Great food, amazing service and great prices. I had the platter with rice, mix meats, and vegetables; it was so good. They also have different sauces that you can choose from and all are amazing. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Fresh. Simple. Delicious. *Gordon voice* But seriously, same thoughts for me. Flame broiler is a fast food franchise. Most of the items are pre cooked but don't let that turn you off. They serve teriyaki rice bowls. They come with grilled chicken, steak, or tofu, served with either white/brown rice and mixed veggies. This joint is perfect if you're trying to loose weight but craving for a big bite. You can ask for just mixed veggies only without rice. Use the magic sauce for that extra teriyaki flavor and the a small amount of the hot sauce(yes, they're very hot). Now this ain't your traditional Korean cuisine so don't expect any lettuce wraps and kimchi. Though I hope they had kimchi at least. Lol One thing that stood out with my experience here is the manager is doing paper work and there's only one person in front of us in the line but she quickly dropped what she was doing to assist and make sure we got everything we needed. I really appreciate that. We ordered, food is ready right away and we left pretty satisfied. Forgot your meal prep? Go to Flame Broiler! read more

This is somewhat of a satellite location so street parking for the most part. Thankful it's near my office for somewhere to pick up a decent meal that's not fast food. It's good - not spectacular. Bowls are a choice of brown or white rice topped with veggies - cabbage, blanched carrots, and broccoli. Topped with a choice of marinated protein - chicken, beef, or tofu - and finished with green onions. On this particular visit, I witnessed the order before mine - assumed it was a call in order - lightly spill on top of the counter between the front area and kitchen. Maybe a couple pieces of chicken and some veggies. The employee - wearing gloves - scraped the food off the counter back into the to go bowl. It definitely appeared that this was going to be served vs. tossed. The employees in the kitchen made eye contact with me and saw that I noticed the occurrence. It felt as if the person doing this - the person putting my order together may have been management as no one dared say anything. I took away a star for this incident. Idk if I'd come back based on that - who knows what else is happening in that kitchen if what I witnessed was deemed acceptable. read more

Consistently excellent, fresh, fast, and friendly! U FB!

NOT AT ALL VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN SAFE. I would assume also not safe for any food sensitivities or allergies as this place obviously cares zero about cross contamination. Tons of meat in the tofu, we will no longer be ordering from here for the office. We had several people not be able to eat their food. I wish places would realize that they don't just lose one person's business with this kind of carelessness, but now large catering orders, too. read more

Yummy ! Have you tried this place yet ? My husband just took me here for a quick dinner and it's so good I literally ate half of it before getting to make this review. The vegetables are PERFECTLY steamed , the rice is so tasty , GMO FREE , allergen free and gluten free . I got the brown rice with angus beef and all the veggies . Be sure to grab the sauce it's delicious. Best Korean bbq I've had in awhile and it's REAL FOOD ! Also I'm giving five stars bc it's really cheap considering your eating high quality non processed food that TASTES amazing ! Super happy ! read more

Flame Broiler - Angus beef and veggie bowl - Salad Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Food is good but employees were wearing masks on their chins with their noses and mouths exposed. Eat at your own peril.

Fast healthy meals for a good price. However I was disappointed in their staff today when I went in to pick up dinner. The door has a sign posted that CLEARLY states masks are required inside. I had mine on (over mouth & nose). Walked in and the 2 staff visible had their masks on over the mouth only. Behind me, another customer walked in with NO face covering at all. The staff didn't say anything and carried on business as usual. I was sick with covid for 7 weeks. I do not want it again. PLEASE have your staff wear their masks properly and ENFORCE the mask rule upon entering the restaurant. read more

This is a fast food chain from California that prides itself on healthy options. If you are looking for a quick, cheap and healthy meal then this place is perfect! The smallest bowl which comes with rice, vegetables and meat is $5! This process is simple: 1) pick the size of your bowl (the smallest one is $5. If you are hungry, I would recommend a bigger bowl. It's not that much food) 2) white or brown rice --- they pride themselves on having non gmo rice 3) vegetables - steamed cabbage, carrot, broccoli or all 3) protein - chicken, beef or organic tofu. The meat options were delicious and you can do 1/2 and 1/2 4) you must go get some sauces! The food is a bit bland, but the sauces make it great! My favorite was the super hot! I look forward to stopping by hear for a quick lunch or dinner! read more

This place food is amazing !!! I love their chicken or sometimes I get half and half meat and chicken. Also the magic sauce makes it even better.

Very tasty. Still tasty since first review. Simple but satisfying menu. Please don't get skimpy on manic sauce ;-) very nom!

Flame Broiler - Salad Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My regular lunch crowd and I decided to try this new place in San Marco. There is not much to The Flame Broiler. You can either get a bowl or white rice or brown rice with Korean beef, or chicken or tofu or veggies. You can also order half and half on the meats. Since I recently gone vegetarian with the exception of seafood, I had brown rice with vegetables (broccoli, carrots and green onion). My coworkers all enjoyed their meat bowls and with the addition of their "magic sauce" my bowl was pretty good and rather filling. I'm not sure I would come back, since there is not much to choose from, but one never knows. read more

I've never done this before , but I'm writing my first EVER review on a place . I'm writing a review before I even try the food solely based on the CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Food could be garbage and I will still go back just for the service! Great job read more

Food is pretty solid and not drenched in salt or sauces. Great value for filling lunch. Only issue with this place is how damn ghetto the staff is. read more

Great staff, excellent flavor and service! Love the healthy nature of the food. Reka and James always take great care of me!

My first time at Flame Broiler and it was a great experience at this location! Food was so good and the service was amazing! Can't wait to go back! read more

I hear what the other viewers are saying about the food being "bland." However, that is what honest healthy food tastes like, and that is what they claim to offer. We see claims for all sorts of benefits on packaged foods, even when the support for those claims are slim, so we are not used to plain food. The meal I had was fresh, hot and delicious. The chicken I ordered had a little teriyaki or something flavor, and the rice was wonderful, if plain. Good healthy fresh food for a decent price. We all should probably be eating like this 80% of the time if we were smart. read more

this is my favorate spot to eat and not because i work there but the foods healthy and it taste soooo good.
