    Blueberry cheesecake
    Kevin W.

    Last night we ate at The Flame Steakhouse here in Sanford, North Carolina. The food was delicious the service and our server Alyssa was outstanding. Steak was tender and flavorful. Server was quick to offer suggestions when prompted. She recommended the blueberry cheesecake for dessert. And now I recommend the blueberry cheesecake for dessert. It was Very good.

    Seafood bisque

    We decided to do a spontaneous date night in our local area. We searched for steakhouses close to us and saw this restaurant. We decided to give it a try. We called in a reservation 15min ahead and got a table. This place is small but quiet. Not usual steakhouse but also not quite romantic but a little of both. Our server Lilly was awesome! She was attentive and knowledgeable. Very friendly and accommodating. The food was slightly over salted but ok. The bisque was a little too thick. We ordered dessert of strawberry shortcake and new York cheesecake with caramel, strawberry and chocolate to go. It was pretty good. We would give it more stars if the food had less salt but more taste. We will give it another try in a couple of months.

    A perfect steak!

    Absolutely 5 star, incredible little spot with perfect French Onion Soup, Wedge Salad and Dry Aged Ribeye worth telling people about. Fabulous! Not a single complaint. Wirth making reservations for a special night.

    These are the 6 sides available with a meal.  5 of are starches, including 4 dishes of potatoes; I felt like I was back in Ireland).

    Reservations are required, even to site in the Bar (room). SIDES: The sides that are available with the meal are 5 STARCHES or an order or an order a sautéed onions. 4 of those starches are potatoes in different forms. The other starch is Wild Rice. All other sides, "Specialty Sides" cost extra, including a side salad. So, be prepared to pay extra to get a decent side. MAIN DISHES: Our dishes were extremely tasty. We each had fried seafoods. The waiter was new but he worked very hard at pleasing us. Bread & Butter were put on the table which meant a great deal to my husband; he won't return to a restaurant that doesn't serve Bread & Butter. DRINKS: The alcoholic beverages were created as requested included my Special Request.

    The steak was good, the service was great but it was pretty dark inside. Once your eyes adjusted it got better but it was still pretty dark.

    Great place to grab lunch! I'll admit, I've mostly tried the salads and bang bang shrimp, but everything I've had was fantastic.

    The steak tips were medium well and the portion was perfect for an appetizer or a small dinner with side salad.

    Stopped in around 2 with my husband after realizing we were headed in the wrong direction across…read moreNorth Carolina and needed a quick lunch. Found this place on Yelp and went with it. Seat yourself setup, but plenty of seating available. Our server, Madison, was at the table in under a minute with menus, and food came out in less than 12 minutes. She was efficient and attentive without making us feel rushed. This is a gastropub, meaning a casual bar-style restaurant that puts more focus on food quality than a typical bar menu. The space reflects that. Mix of standard tables with chairs, booths, and a small lounge area with cushioned chairs and a sofa. He ordered the Reuben, I had the pulled pork with collards. Prices were reasonable at $12 for the pork and $13.50 for the Reuben, each with one side. We both wanted the cucumber tomato salad, but they were out. The pulled pork came with a red, vinegar-leaning sauce. Not sweet and not strictly Lexington style, more of a house take on North Carolina barbecue. Still flavorful and satisfying. The collards were good with small bits of bacon that added flavor without overpowering. The Reuben was decent, but the toasted brioche bun stood out. Good texture and held everything together the way it should. The pasta side was fine, nothing memorable. Total bill came to $27.26. We both stuck with water, which keeps things simple and keeps the cost down. Overall, a solid stop for a quick, easy lunch. Nothing over the top, but everything came together the way it should. Must order: Pulled pork with collards Heads up: Sides may run out, have a backup in mind

    The food was good, service was ok, the ambiance was beautiful…read more We're Texans so we are super picky about our brisket and this was most definitely nice tender brisket. The flavor was good but not earth shattering. If you aren't a brisket snob, you'll love this place! The bar aspect of this restaurant was really cool looking. We went at an off time and there were a good many people there. Service was pretty slow and not attentive.
