My wife had the asian salad, and she says it was the best she'd ever had. I had the fish tacos with mac and cheese, and both were unusually flavorful and had a great texture (I rarely eat much mac and cheese, but I finished all of this). Service was good, friendly and helpful. I appreciated the decor and general vibe of the place, inside and out, including the music. My only quibble might be that parking was a bit tighter than expected, but not a problem. Great place overall, and we were discussing how we might find an excuse to return, plus wishing a branch would open closer to Houston.

We ended up ordering a set of the deviled eggs (as dessert? ) because the one that came with our entree was so good (and the salad was a bit smaller than expected). Overall, good service, GREAT food. Worth the detour on our trip thru.

My neighbor, Susan, absolutely loves hamburgers, so I took her to Flaming Grill for the first time last night. She loved it. And, I noticed something new. Their french fries are absolutely fantastic! I'm really picky about my french fries, and these might be the best in town. They have some specialty burgers that will knock your socks off! You really need to give them a try!

It's clean bright and everyone's in a good mood. No surly teenagers behind the counter. After that first trip to Flaming Grill in 2019, this has become my go-to place at least a couple times a month... I only eat out once a week, and the first restaurant I consider is Flaming Grill. If I want a burger, nobody in town comes close. They've perfected their business model...the freshness of the food, friendliness of staff and an unwavering concentration on consistently good food, served hot and exactly what you want.. I've been here probably 100 times, and never once been disappointed. I'd give them six stars if I could.

Since I was undecided, I asked our waitress what she'd recommend and she didn't disappoint. I got the stuffed avocado with chicken salad and wow, the flavors between the chicken salad and hot sauce on top were perfectly balanced 8/10. I also enjoyed the prickly pear lemonade, it was so fresh for the hot summer days. Definitely a nice spot for lunch or even for dinner, plus the service was so good. Everything came out quick and our server was very attentive, even while bartending. Highly recommend and I'm definitely going back to try the dinner menu.

We got a burger and fried chicken the Nashville Hot. I was skeptical of the Nashville when I saw it was a dry rub but the heat and flavor blew me away. It was my favorite part of the entire meal. If you're a spice fan, this is the move! Christin deserves a shout-out all her own. Customer service can make or break a dining experience, and she absolutely made ours. Attentive, welcoming, and genuinely on top of everything she has the kind of service that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. If Kristin's working the floor when you go, you're in great hands. The restaurant has large, comfortable seating that can easily accommodate groups of any size. Whether you're rolling in with a party of ten or just a couple of friends, you won't be crammed into a corner waiting for a table to open up, the layout works well for groups. Overall- This place gets it right across the board. I'll absolutely be back.
