    Jumbo Chicken Wing Combo with Baked Macaroni and Cheese and Candied Yams
    Stephon M.

    I like the food here a lot the fish for takeout could be hit or miss though. Wings are seasoned and fried well! (4/5) Mac and cheese and yams are solid! (4/5) I love catfish but they only sell it on weekends. Sometimes its under cooked and sometimes not seasoned enough but when they get it right... then it's on point! (3/5) Can't speak for ambiance as I don't think you can sit inside.. or at least i never have. Service for the most part isn't too bad either.

    Jumbo Wings Chicken Dinner  Plain Wings, Collard Greens, Mashed Potatoes, Cornbread
    Denisha F.

    The chicken is superb. Perfect balance of crunchy and juicy. Sweet Chili flavor or good but the sauce does make the chicken a little soggy. Lemon Pepper is the best, no complaints. The mashed potatoes were missing the gravy and were mediocre at best. Mac & cheese doesn't look good but is decent, pairs well with the yams and collard greens (which are both full of flavor) but isn't anything to write home about. Cornbread may very well be boxed but I don't mind, nice addition to the meal. Overall, good is great and is a great value!

    The best aspect is that you can customize your order to your preference, and the food is delicious. I usually request mine with little or no salt.

    Ribs, Macaroni and cheese, Collards

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant and they left a lasting impression. Ribs, Collard greens, Corn bread,macaroni and cheese were all great. I ordered hush puppies but those are only available on the weekends. The restaurant reached out to me and I was able to replace it with black eyed peas and rice. All of the food was delicious. I will be eating there again

    Big tasteless greens, fake cheese "mac n cheese" n hard dried out baked chicken.....never again
    P S.

    The Mac n cheese is not real, not sure what type of "cheese" they use but it's curdled n looks weird, like this is not real cheese. The collard greens are tasteless at best, they are big n have almost no flavor. The baked chicken was dried out n overcooked. I ate some of it, usually I would save the rest for later but I will throw these left overs in the trash...such a waste. Also, on the app it says your meal comes with a corn muffin, but you don't get one unless you order it separately, And I never got the chili sauce I requested...it's ok, they will never have to worry about me ordering ever again. Eat here at your own risk....their food is cooked with no love, they just throwing stuff together calling it "soul food"... it's awful.

    Attention to detail is important. My order was for catfish dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, with corn. No gravy was included! C'mon man

    I really wanted to support not only local business but Black business as well with Down Home. I've been here a few times and every time just like most of the other reviews the customer service is terrible. It's like I'm bothering them by coming to order or they would rather be doing something else, anything else but taking an order from me, and for love if God don't you dare ask a question it just gets worse. The food is actually good. The wings are a good size and flavorful, Mac and cheese is ok could use a kick up on the flavor but it's ok. There aren't many options for soul food in Boston and I try to support my people as much as I can but someone from their company needs to get on Yelp and actually read the reviews so things can change.

    They got my order wrong I wanted potato salad and they gave me cold Mac and cheese. The yams was good and also the ribs but I didn't want cold Mac and cheese I wanted potato salad

    I had no clue there was more than one Flames. I knew of the one in Providence because its close to…read moreme but I squealed when I saw there was one next to where I would be in the Boston area. My friend and I were looking for a place to get a good and filling meal before skating at Chez Vous and between the three options we narrowed it down to, this won. They have a parking lot for about 7 cars which was very convenient - street parking is also available but just more of a hassle. It smelled so good when we walked in. We tried to figure out the menu, but had some questions. After clarification, it made sense. They offer small, medium or large plates and vary in price depending on the type of meat selected. You can also add double meat or combine meats for an additional charge. We couldn't really see the food because of the condensation on the glass, but from the crevices, everything looked incredible which made it hard to decide. I would say there were about 20 different options of meats. I had never had ox tail before but I felt comfortable letting Flames do the honors of changing that so I chose that. I picked the rice with brown beans, steamed veggies, and oxtail. The really piled everything on. The prices are a bit high, with oxtail being the most expensive, but seeing that you can get two servings from a large plate, it doesn't seem so bad in the end. My friend had the yellow rice with curry chicken and cabbage salad. He also bought an Irish Moss drink which tasted a lot like egg nog. We had the food there. They have about 5-6 tables, each with two chairs, but or some reason the tables are all slanted down so just be careful of food or drinks sliding. The rice with brown beans was really good; midway through I tasted coconut and loved the sweet and savory combo. The ox tail was very tender and the sauce it was in was rich and tasty. The veggies were slightly over steamed but still good. My friend's curry was good. While eating we realized they sell patties as well as desserts; they have a case with these treats. I would recommend coming here for a freshly cooked and big meal. The customer service is also good. They had a sign on the bathroom that it was only for employees so just keep that in mind.

    My only complaint is that they still use Styrofoam containers. Styrofoam is extremely bad for the…read moreenvironment. There is an alternative cardboard like container that can be substituted.

    First of all, simply disregard all the one star ratings. I live a walk away, and kinda sorta know…read morethe neighborhood. The poor ratings are generally from non-yelpers, tourists looking for BBQ, or someone who had a beef with the service. pssst: Or a competitor. This establishment is owned and operated by a Greek couple who has been doing this for 30+ years. At one point, apparently during a 1990 TX BBQ fad, the wife sent the husband down to TX for 30 days to learn TX BBQ. They rebranded their sandwich/pizza shop. To my New England palate, the BBQ is okay, but not sensational. That is the downside: "Okay" BBQ. The upside is that this is a couple who has been operating this for 30+ years. It is the "go to" joint for all the employees, lawyers, and judges next door at Dorchester District Court. I'm going with their judgment rather than the fly-by review Yelpers. The sandwiches are good, the pizza (depending upon your sensitivity) is fine, and the value sensational. It is a Dorchester sandwich/pizza joint, don't get me wrong. But it is this couple's dream, and, hey, it's pretty f***ng good!

They were the dark horse that I never would have thought about ordering normally. Biscuits for dinner? Eh. But they were delicious and lighter than expected and the pimento cheese I could have ate by the spoonfuls. The oysters were clean and delicious. Everything you hope to have from Northeast oysters especially being from Texas where most of the places here serve Gulf oysters that don't even come close to comparing. I could have drank the mignonette. The pimento mac n cheese was on point and flavorful (and again that pimento cheese, yum). The wagyu burgers were so good. The burger was tender and flavorful, the bread was soft and light and slightly sweet, and the onion ring added a great texture to the mix. Think of a amped up western burger. The ambiance was a cool vibe yet a home feel. We were seated quickly but it took awhile for anyone to acknowledge us. Service was good once it started and the food came out quickly. If we ever make it back to Boston, it will definitely be on our list to revisit. Great late dinner spot. Simple foods done right. (Oh, and the drinks were delicious. I wanted to try them all. Mine tasted exactly like an apple pie.)
