Flames

Had the Jerk Chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage.
The jerk chicken and sauce were flavorful and spicy.
The rice was a bit clumpy and the cabbage was just alright with no significant flavor. They unfortunately didn’t have any plantains or Pattie’s which I was looking forward to having.

I stay in Rhode Island and I used to frequent the Providence flames A LOT! Until their food got too bland and dry.
People say they changed to appease yt peepo taste buds in the area but either way, I stopped going there and found Island House on Broad st.
Anyway, I always heard that the flames in Boston stayed true to the roots and the flavors were 100% better than Providence.
The other day I was in Boston and although flames was 20mins out of the way, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
My mouth watered the whole ride there and upon arrival, the clerk was so friendly and inviting! I was excited cuz I knew I wanted the jerk chicken.
To keep a long story short, the jerk was not jerking, ok.
The chicken was drier than a bad joke.
No flavor and shredding.
I am so sorry because the sweet and spicy chicken was smackin- but that was the highlight because the cabbage was fresh (bland) and the rice and peas had good flavor but there were too many hard pieces of rice in it.
Made me question the freshness of it all.
I wouldn’t go back there..
I’m wondering now if people in Rhode Island was referring to the next flames in Boston, because Huntington Ave is not giving, at all.
My picture is to demonstrate the dryness and lack of seasoning to the chicken.
Tasted baked, not grilled.
Theres no pics of the sweet and spicy chicken or the *HOMEMADE* beef patty because we demolished them, they were 10 outta 10!!

Curry goat is awesome! So tender and flavorful.
It’s the right amount of heat and spices.
I also got the sea moss drink, and it’s interesting to the palate.
