★★☆☆☆ 2.0 TM A · Dec 2025

Well they’re one of the nicer Jamaican restaurants I’ve been to so that tells you what you need to know about the food. Very mid. Oxtail wasn’t strongly favored & a bit tough. Didn’t fall off the bone. Like they ran out and made more quickly. (Explains why she was generous with the sauce) Don’t bother with dessert. 1 word: dry. Rice & peas were fine. Cabbage fine too. My companion had cow foot and that was pretty good. So I gave food 2 stars Others who recommended it to me they’ve gone regularly and it’s usually good. So maybe this was just a bad day.

This was a very disturbing experience! $25 dollars for oxtail dinner and all I got was a few pieces of meat on bones. Not to add that there was no fried dumplings NEVER. I gay customer service 2 stars because they do not accept apple pay, as I'm about to walk out, they then all of a sudden took apple pay, and then try to chastise me as if I'm a child to say, next time.Don't let it happen again.She doesn't have to worry about that best

I’ve been to flames Jamaican restaurant before this one is the worst. The rice was soft you couldn’t taste the coconut in the rice and beans the cabbage was undercooked not seasoned. The meat had no flavor. The service was poor. I will never come back here. Disgusting. I’ve been to Jamaica seven times. The chicken taste like it was cooked in old oil I know Reel Jamaican foods and this isn’t it this is not cooked with love.

If you're craving authentic Jamaican cuisine, look no further than Flames Jamaican Restaurant. I find myself ordering takeout here at least three times a week, and it's always a treat! My go-to is the large King Fish with rice and beans—it's absolutely delicious every single time. For breakfast, I love starting my day with a small bowl of their Jamaican cornmeal porridge. It's the perfect way to kick off the morning. And when I'm in the mood for something spicy, their boiled green banana with callaloo never disappoints. The quality of food is consistently outstanding, but what truly sets Flames apart is their exceptional staff. Wayne, in particular, deserves a special shoutout. Despite what might be going on in his personal life, he always greets you with a smile and great service. Way
