My issue with this location is it is never open on time, why should I wait 5-15 minutes for them to open if you're not going to be open at 7:00 a.m. then change your hours on Google

We had the oxtail, with rice and beans and cabbage. I think I was supposed to get plantain but not sure. The food was flavorful except for one thing. Why do you feel the need to use so much salt? We have voiced our opinion before and there is still no change. We cannot be the only ones that feel this way. Please cut back on the salt. We would eat from there more often if it wasn't for the salt.

I ordered oxtail from here and it was tender enough but had no seasoning. I ordered Take-out because the ambiance feels like an abandoned middle school cafeteria and realized [at home] my order was incomplete. I had a mound of rice. No cabbage, which is supposed to come with it. When I called, she asked if I received plantains. Apparently, those are a complimentary side. She tells me you have to ask for them. If it is someone's 1st time, how are they supposed to know that? I saw no signage that indicates this-so they offer three sides but only tell you about 2...AND THE FOOD WAS BASIC. One would think she would have refunded a part of my order since I was missing two of the 3 sides I paid for. she informs me the next time I come in to ask for them. I had already informed her it was a 45 minute train ride ONE WAY. Lastly, the woman who prepped my order had the personality of a hostage. Keep your sides. I will not be returning.

Still annoyed there was a napkin in my porridge once. This time they watched it as it dripped out spoon so I was happy have been in a year since that happened.

It's terrible you spend all this money for soup and all this money for food and you don't get not one drop of me in your soup not one drop

Their food isn’t bad it’s just those prices have skyrocketed to where I can’t justify eating here casually any more. $18 $19 for medium plate (that’s mostly rice)and can’t get the sweet and spicy as a side anymore. And they’re still giving u 3 little pieces of whatever meat u get with the half a pound of rice they wanna put on the plate. At least if ur gonna raise prices. Add more meat ! All the flames in mass and Ri. $9 for rice and $9 for meat. Somethings not mathing up here.

This location is convenient and looks nice but qualify of the food is not worth the attitude of the staff. The food at the Mattapan and Grove hall locations are well worth the attitude (most times)

I purchased a shrimp pasta pasta and when I got home there was only 1 shrimp. I told her at my next Visit and she asked what time was it, I 8:40 pm. She said that's why. Why did she charge me the whole amount???? I'll never order from there again.

The Mac and cabbage were cool, the chicken was overcooked 😑please invest in a 🌡️ it would make a world of difference. $14.50 for a small and Overcooked meat (the main) is outrageous.

It's a great space and a great location. The food is delicious and the service is warm and friendly.
You have to stand here the whole 30 minutes of your lunch break just to get a plate of food..just ridiculous. Why put a restaurant in a high volume area like ashmont and this is the kind of service you got. ONE PERSON WORKING IN THIS NIG STORE, MAKING THE PLATES AND COLLECTING. THIS LADY CALLING " STEPPA" AND HE IS YET TO SHOW UP. AS A JAMAICAN A JOKE TING DIS MR FLAMES

The jerk chicken is pretty good, but I feel like a lot of the pieces are 10% meat and 90% bone, which I really don't like. Will give it another shot sometime and adjust my review up or down depending on how that goes.

I always go to this flames I would consider it the best out the handful in Boston. It’s a new building band I’m sure they have a different chef usually got for a chicken meal whether it’s , curry , bbq or sweet chilli. There’s also Jerk chicken if you like a little kick. On this visit it was pretty good as usual but my veggies were cold and seeing as how I came in fairly early in the afternoon I would figure that everything would be fresh and hot or if not fresh at least hot. I’ve worked in restaurants before so I know the importance of not throwing out food but I would just hope that everything on my plate would be hot but overall still as far as taste and freshness I would pick them over all.
Vegetarian options: You can simple order multiple things without meat.
Parking: Theres a couple spots in front of the restaurant.
