Flames - Randolph

Almost always I find my favorite treats at Flames Restaurant. The Gizzadas are great but not always in stock. My niece loves Rock biscuits and this is where I buy them for here. The food is very tasty however the Curried goat can sometimes have too many bones for my liking. Flames does not cook or offer any pork dishes for those who like pork. The oxtail is almost always very tender and the rice and pease is fresh. I don't typically buy the fish because it seems like it's too dry. And the soup...my favorite year round...is never ready at lunch time which makes no sense to me. Best to go at around 2 p.m. if you want to be sure that it's ready and then depending on the day you may find your favorite from Cow Foot to Chicken. In terms of vegetarian options I'm sure it's available. They offer cabbage, mixed vegetables, a variety of rice including yellow rice, veg patties and more. love the variety of porridges. There is one special offered each day. The prices are average when compared to other Jamaican restaurants from Boston to Brockton. Flames is also open on Sundays and they have many locations so there is bound to be one nearby.

The food was reheated numerous times and completely dried

I have been coming here once a week for a year. The service is always the worse I have ever seen seen.Slow disorganized and always get things wrong.Saturday I came 3 people in front of me waited 15 mins then when I did get there they got the orders screwed up again and waited 10 more mins at the checkout.Can't understand how a place so poorly run can stay in business!!!

There was only 4 people in front of me and it was still 25 minutes before I placed my order. One person ordered food and 2 patties with bread and cheese along with a dish and the other ordered 4 of the same with no dish and the dish was ready long before any of the beef patties and they had to wait. They were conversating in english and their language which made it take longer to take my order. My patties and bread came out much quicker than the others so it is clear that it dosen't take that long for the order. The server was too busy conversating. About 2 people walked out after waiting too long.

The curry chicken was all bone and fat, only the one piece had meat on it got a medium, it only comes with 4 pieces of chicken, so to only be able eat one piece was disappointing The curry gravy was super thick and the rice/peas had hard pieces of rice in it.
