    Stewed Oxtail, Rice & Kidney Peas, Steamed Cabbage & Carrots
    Denisha F.

    Best in the city! Generous with the servings, great drink selection. Rice and peas has the perfect amount of coconut milk, cabbage and carrots aren't over cooked (still has crunch) and oxtail full of flavor and tender.

    Oxtail, Cabbage, with Rice and Peas
    Tiffani J.

    All I can say is what happened? Flames used to have the best oxtail in the city. This is my third time going and the oxtails were tough. They lacked the flavor that they usually have. It tasted like one seasoning was dominating yesterday, and it was not the right one. The cashier added a beef patty and charged me for it. I do not like their beef patties so I would not have ordered it. I called to inform them of the mistake, and they wanted me to drive 25 minutes to get a refund, when it could have been reversed. No way. There was not even an apology. She said I could drive. No thank you. I decided what the heck, I can taste the beef patty. No thank you again. I threw all of the beef patty away. I I will go back to the one on Blue Hill Ave to see if the food and service are any better.

    Curried Goat

    Wow just had the Curried Goat here and it blew me away. So much depth of flavor and no gaminess to speak of and ooooh so tender. Plenty of reason to come here. They have a plethora of Jamaican favorites and they are all good believe. Thank me later.

    Spoiled curry goat, rice and peas w/ mixed vegetables. Worst ever!

    I been eating from this establishment for years. Today I decided I'm not going back. I ordered a Large curry goat, rice and peas, and mixed vegetables. The food goat was spoiled. It must have been left over because she piled the goat on my plate and they never piled it on like that and after tasting it I know for a fact the food was spoiled. They fail to understand that because I'm not speaking Jamaican my family is Jamaican and I know good food and today it was at its worst. Not everyone knows good or great food. Flames your going up in Flames!!!

    Solid Jamaican food. Always there when you need it. I typically stop by for a beef patty or jerk chicken plate!

    Went in for a beef patty with cheese and came out with a tasteless, government cheese filled flake crust.

    Our favorite spot for delicious take-out Caribbean food. Love their jerk chicken and hot patties. Try cheese and coco bread for a snack

    We ordered the Port-au-Prince Bowl to go. You get to pick two mains and 4 sides. We got the Halal…read moreStew Chicken and the vegan Legume. For sides, we got Black Rice, Sweet Plantains, Green Plantains, Rice & Beans. Wow, what a superb meal. Everything was delicious. They also go a little light in the salt which I loved. There wasn't a single dish in there that I didn't like. The chicken was tender, the stew and legumes were flavorful, the rice was well cooked, the tostones were crispy, and the sweet plantains were truly ripe. I honestly wish they had a combo where they could do three mains and six sides cuz I would be into that! And a special shout out to the compostable packaging. Loved it.

    I had been eagerly anticipating my visit to this much-talked-about eatery after seeing all the buzz…read moreon social media and television. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, there was a little lack of coordination in the service but not so much that it detracted from the overall service. I decided to order the fried chicken, hoping for a flavorful experience, that Creole food is typical of, but I was sorely disappointed to find that it was completely devoid of seasoning--absolutely none! The taste was bland, and I found myself unable to enjoy it at all. After a few bites, I realized I couldn't force myself to eat it, so I ended up tossing it in the trash. Given that I was already some distance away from the restaurant at my next stop, returning it wasn't an option. I did take the time to call the restaurant and voice my concerns, but they l didn't offer any form of credit or compensation for the issue, so it only reinforced my decision not to return, as I couldn't see myself taking another chance on a meal that fell so flat. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially considering the hype surrounding this place.
