Reviews

The service at this place was unpleasant.
They exaggerated by charging me 8 shrimp 🍤 for 12.99.
I will never return here again in my life.
Apart from the fact that the food is cold, the employees have bad attitudes.
I The women who serve this place are ordinary, they have no education, they treat people like someone comes to ask them.
feel that this was a robbery by charging me almost 13 dollars for a little shrimp and another thing when you ask them what they want different meats or seafood on your plate they want to tell you how to eat and what to put on your plate I didn't come to order I came to buy so 0 star ⭐️ for this place

Flames is a very popular restaurant in my Dorchester neighborhood.
Over the years, many people of different ethnicities come here to enjoy a taste of the Caribbean.
Until recently, my last time there was probably three years ago and I've never been disappointed, until now.
The service was horrible and both ladies behind the counter was rude and lacked customer service.
I ordered the curry chicken.
It was bland and had no seasoning.
Everything tasted like it was cooked in one pot.
It definitely wasn't what I was expecting from them.
Maybe they have a new cook or new management but the quality wasn't the same.
Between the bad customer service and the bland food, I doubt I'll be back.

I’ve been a Flames customer since it first opened a couple of decades ago.
I typically order the oxtail or salt fish and okra and always takeout, which brings me to my biggest gripe with the restaurant.
The styrofoam clamshell containers that invariably leak badly are inadequate for carrying out their saucy dishes.
It’s long time that they be retired and replaced with plastic containers that can seal tightly.
