I absolutely love this place! The food is dynamite! The eye steak is the perfect size and always cooked to perfection! The BEST Reuben around and love those hash browns!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD EVERYTIME.

Really enjoy going to The Flame and sitting on the bar side. I feel like it has a different atmosphere and the service is great. Always enjoy the sirloin and definitely that garlic toast! 😉

This place has gone WAY downhill since the last time we were here.
We will absolutely NOT be going back again after the food and service we received the other night.

Place was absolutely dead aside from our table and one other and we still waited a loooooong time for our food.
Server did not come back to refill drinks, did not bring bread, and said we weren't supposed to get bread because a bread stick would come with our pasta dishes.
We ALWAYS order this same pasta dish, and we have always gotten bread before.
We don't LIKE the weird deep fried breadsticks that come with the food.
As a former server, and on a night where you have NO business, I would have just brought us the bread we asked for. Instead we got an attitude for asking.

Once the food arrived, the steak that was on the pasta looked and tasted like steak that had been cooked another day and reheated. We asked for medium rare and the steak was well done, probably because it was old reheated steak.

Couldn't tell the server or send it back, because after looking for her and waiting 15 minutes she never even came back to check on us.
We honestly should have just walked out.
Needless to say she was not given a tip. I am DONE giving tips for bad food and REALLY bad service. And again. As a former server I never do that, but this night was an exception. You cannot dump lousy food on someone's table then not even come back to check on them. Especially when you had literally no other tables. The other table had a different server.

Wherever management is hiding in this place, you really need to get it together and watch your staff.
Not one of them does their job properly. Do you even notice?

Best Bloomin Onion! Way better than Outback or Rodladhouse! Whole meal was amazing and so reasonable for a family of 5 we spent less than what we would at other restaurants and WAY BETTER FOOD!

The staff are always incredible and the food is always excellent. My go to appetizer is the blooming onion and it is great to share among the table.

The Flame has been a family go-to for years and years! From birthdays to New Years, it's the best place to celebrate and have a fantastic meal! I have NEVER had a bad experience there. The steaks are always done to perfection and SO tasty! (Pass on Mavericks if it's steak you want! ) The side items that come with the meal are always great. (If you're a fan-have the French dressing on your salad--it's the BEST!) Freshly baked bread always accompanies your meal.

The wait staff is fabulous. They take orders quickly, and are always willing to answer questions. The food usually arrives very quickly, and it's very hot and fresh.

Another nice amenity is the full service bar! They are always accurate and quick with recommendations.

My only 3 complaints: their prices have gone up significantly since Covid; you no longer get the complimentary onion ring with your steak; and they took shrimp cocktail off the menu! Grrrrr.

Overall, for a great meal, check out The Flame! It's a true local gem.

Btw, the take out service is just as good as dining in. They include everything you would get at the table, minus the silverware! Down to the butter even!

Parking: If you're lucky enough to get a parking spot in front, or off to the side of the restaurant, you've struck gold! Also, there's only 1 disabled parking spot next to the restaurant. Much more parking can be found across the street in the old train depot parking lot!

The atmosphere is a little dated, but the food and the service by far make up for that.
I've gone there for years and NEVER had a bad experience.

Parking: Free parking right across the street from the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Food options for kids and good desert.

The ribeye I ordered smelt nasty. It was Absolutely the worst I have ever had. The only thing edible was the bread and chicken noodle soup. My wife's Filet was terrible as well.
