Reviews for Flames Eatery & Bar in San Jose, CA
We went on Labor day Monday. Not crowed and we're seated by the busser who brought us water. The waiter took his time... acknowledge us and when he did just casually asked if we knew what we wanted. Ok fine. Brought us our food. The chocolatemilk shake & the root beer float were yummy. We ordered the Ruben Sandwich with coleslaw and All meat pizza. The Rubensandwich was very tasty. However the $16.00 Pizza was horrible and taste rancid. The mushrooms were rubbery and gross. I had itremoved from my bill. I feel like some of these old restaurants don't change their menu or their food and or never taste theirown food. Read more
My daughter and I have lunch here whenever we can. The waiter s are very respectful nice quiet clean atmosphere. I love a place... that let's you talk to your lunch buddy and not be interrupting every 5 minutes. However if there is something you need someoneis always there to get you what you need. Prices are good, are a is always clean. I highly recamend FLAMES. I am a prude when Ieat out. But I have never had one thing to complain about here. 3yrs ago I wrote this review it still applies today the onlyplace in Downtown San Jose I would consider going to Read more
If you're into Holadaise sauce, the 'Flames Eatery & Bar,' is the place to come. They add it to just about everything . .... that's an exaturation of course, but it is rather the feeling you get. And, I have to admit, just contemplating it while I madeand consumed a different order, made me ask myself afterwards, 'why didn't I order myself something with Holandaise sauce?' Mybrain must have taken me back to a time - now, long forgotten - suposedly . . when I had something of this nature, and, so now,my taste buds are rapping me on the side of the head, saying . . Hey! Holandaise sauce! . . have you forgotten? Well . . Ihave, but you can bet on one thing . . the next time I come back, to the Flames Eatery & Bar, I'm going to have one thingappearing on my plate . . yep . . you guessed it . . Hollandaise Sauce, and that's for damn sure! This restaurant - located onthe corner of 4th & Santa Clara, you could almost say, is the gateway to San Jose State University. Because, it's just acrossthe street. I think the restaurant is nicely laid out. It was very quiet the Thursday afternoon I arrived. Maybe because Ithink, the items on the menue, are a little bit too pricey for students . . maybe, unless of course, it's served withHollandaise Sauce - kidding. The seats are a bit low when you sit in them - up periscope - but, afterwards, you can settlebackin them and have visions of Hollandaise Sauce. The menue is pretty varied, with plenty of selections to choose from, whether itbe omlets, appetizers, seafood . . Oh! and where can you find a nice place that just would serve a good old fashion hot fudgesunday. The Flames, Eatery & Bar, can be more specifically, located at, 88 south 4th street, in downtown San Jose, Calif. Haveyourself a nice dinner - there's Greek, Italian, and, domestic choices. You'll get nice portions at this, what has beenconsidered a rather, Las Vegas style appearance, and, oh! on your way out, you just might want to take home with you, a Read more
I’ll preface by saying I’ve been here and had a wonderful meal with good service before, but today was different. Our waiter... was very overbearing and loud, which by itself is tolerable. However he decided that he would top our water with lemons, bytaking a lemon slice in his hands and stuffing it into our waters mid drink. He followed up this class act by walking to ladiesseated behind us with a “how’s it going dirty girls”. At this point we left in a state of shock. I don’t know if hethinks he’s being helpful or charming but it was definitely not ok. I don’t plan to eat here again if I see him working thefloor. Read more
Went for breakfast. Great food but nothing amazing. Indoors was dark and hard to see. Had nice outdoor seating with shade. My... partner got a short stack. They were fluffy nice portion. I got the works omelet. It was filling, savory, huge portion and freshfruit on the side A friend got the California eggs Benedict. He said it was delicious, hardy and healthy meal. Read more
Came here for a late breakfast with 3 friends. A little preface, I eat out a lot. Especially breakfast places. The service was... awesome! The portions, great! The prices very reasonable. So why only 3 stars? What's left to critique but the food itself. Itwas mediocre. I'm basing that off an average of the table. Some really didn't like their meal and others were ok with it.Personally, I was ok. The bottom line, it was a decent meal. Will I be back? Maybe. If I'm hungry and don't want to wait to beseated, I'm coming here. But if I got time, I'm going some place else. Read more

Don’t want to make it a long story but came here because Google showed me some bad reviews when I googled the restaurant to... see what time they close tonight. I COMPLETELY disagree with the folks badmouthing this place. I have been coming here sinceforever during my student days at SJSU when they opened their doors and they make amazing food and provide amazing service. Youcan choose ANYTHING on the menu—from Chinese to Italian and from breakfast to dinner entries at any time of the day—ittastes OUTSTANDING! Prices are great. Location good from an accessibility point of view and lots of parking - but a littlerisky in terms of safety if you want to take a walk afterwards in the dark. I recommend you take a walk around the beautifulSJSU campus rather. The lit-up tower and fountain look spectacular at night. Again, no idea why people leave bad reviews here. What did they expect? To eat on the TITANIC?! lol GREAT PLACE! Message me if you have questions! Read more
