Out of every flame broiler I have gone too, Glendale's location is the best ! The beef and chicken is so tender and it's always made fresh unlike the other flame broiler locations I have gone where they had leftover meat or what not which ended up being dry meat.... The works bowl with brown rice and extra onion mhmm read more

Love the food here better than meal prep. Order brown rice with chicken breast. Definitely order again

Place is great! Clean environment. Just need to speed up the orders. If you can't decide between chicken, or beef, just get the half and half! read more

Flame Broiler - I got the chicken veggie and it was delicious. - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

The food is great we all ways order from here my family loves the food but lately they have a girl cashier and every time it's something new with her and she has such a bad attitude , it makes me not want to eat there anymore just so I don't have to deal with her bullshit and attitude. read more

Great food at this location! Unfortunately the service is very poor. I often attempt to call to place a phone order and no will pick up after me calling at least 5 times. I've also witnessed it in person while standing in line. The last time i was there i waited in line for 10 minutes with just one person in front of me. All in all it's a great location but employees seem a little confused. read more

Service is polite and fast. Food is great, I have tried all the proteins. The beef and chicken is tender and great flavor. The tofu is firm and delish. Veggies and rice cooked perfect and they give great sized portions. Will be back again at least once a week. read more

I just ordered takeout with the Grubhub app from this location and my food was ready and sealed as I walked in. The restaurant seems to be taking all the precautionary measures to ensure patrons feel safe. Thank you! read more

Pure deliciousness. In a small little "center" that you could easily miss!

I've been here countless times and it is the most reliable choice for lunch. They have bowls of beef, chicken, pork, VEGGIES, and combos. I've gotten the chicken bowls most of the time. I'm a sucker for teriyaki sauce, which wasn't too mushy. My only complaint is the bowls are too small. I have t get a large size to keep me full. What happens when you have to get the largest size is you have to pay more for the bowl. This is irritating because you're already paying at least $5 for a bowl of chicken, it would be nice to get a decent size for a decent price. Why I'm bringing this up is because I'm a light eater. The fact that my tiny appetite isn't sufficed worries me. In terms of the food, it is freshly grilled. They give the option of brown or white rice, and if you want onions or not. There is no question asked: the food is always on point. Just be prepared to pay more for the bigger bowl so you'll actually get full. read more

Smaller portions than Umai in montrose and a litlle more expensive...how does that work... Well better quality i guess... I think the only reason this place survives is because of the college, GCC, which has 16,000 students on a daily basis, it gets really busy sometimes at around lunch and the place is relatively big to wat you think so people fill it up! all that being said I love the owner man he is so freaking nice! He always has a smile on, it lightens up my day! he is the only reason i keep comming back TFR read more

I don't do fast food. I quit that shit years ago. Flame broiler is fast but it's in an entirely different and higher category as far as I'm concerned. I tend to get the white meat chicken bowl with veggies, green onions, and brown rice. It's healthy. It's delicious. It's affordable. And it's quick. These factors make it an obvious choice for me for dinner when I have class at GCC. read more

It's the healthiest fast food option. I love coming here in between classes if I don't have my lunch on me. And for my fellow calorie counters, it's perfect for you. Basically you have chicken or beef or both, some veggies (carrots, cabbage, broccoli, onions) and and your choice of brown or white rice. I usually get a bowl of just veggies and both beef and chicken and I leave totally full! Around $7 for that. Really fresh and clean. Recommend ! read more

Gross chicken. Creepy service. High prices. Bogus sauces. Do yourself a favor- go get Bibimbap at La Korea at 3rd and Fairfax instead. read more

came here two days ago for the first time, and have to say the food is pretty decent and cheap! for around $5 and some change, you can get one of the many different types of bowls (chicken, beef, half and half...). so far my fav is the half and half which has both chicken and beef. don't forget to stock up on 'magic hot sauce' and the regular 'magic sauce' (which is just sweetened soy sauce). what's also cool is that you can substitute the white rice for brown rice at no extra charge so you can make it a little healthier. this place is definitely a refreshing change from Quizno's, McD's, and that pizza/watever place that's in the general area at GCC. read more

This is going to be my new spot. I live in walking distance and its really healthy and good. I got the chicken veggie with brown rice. The guy was nice and it came out fast. Im just a little sad because by the time I got home the magic sauce spilled but the hot sauce was really good. read more

I've tried their beef bowl, white chicken bowl and their veggie bowl and my favorite is the white chicken! Although I have to say, now that I'm fasting for lent, the veggie bowl is a pretty great alternative...but I digress... They're very generous with their portions and overload their bowls to the point where walking from the counter to your table without toppling some of the cubes of chicken can be a challenge! Prices are reasonable, ingredients are fresh, contain no dairy, MSGs, trans fats so overall pretty darn healthy and relatively low in calories. And holy smokes, let's not forget their magical house sauce appropriately called "Magic Sauce". Flame Broiler is magic in my stomach! read more

This Flame Broiler is exactly like the location in Alhambra (see my review for the Alhambra location). I was introduced to Flame Broiler while I was a student at UC San Diego, where I always counted on the Flame Broiler location in La Jolla for a consistent, cheap, and healthy meal. They're originally based in Orange County, and it is great news to me that they are slowly moving and establishing locations to the north in the Los Angeles area. Now, specific to the Glendale location, the only thing I don't like about it is the parking situation during lunchtime. The restaurant is adjacent to Glendale College, and I do not attend Glendale College. As a result, I must find a place to mark in their tiny parking lot, and I haven't had much luck during lunchtime. But this is not their fault, nor did I count that against them in my award of stars. The location is prime, and I am sure it does very very well due to the influx of GCC students. I highly recommend it. read more

First time at Flame Broiler. Food was tasty, but over cooked. Not surprised. I will go back.

Healthy....... check Flavorful......... check Affordable........... check Unlike anything in the area............ check Flamebroiler is an exceptional 'bowl' joint that offers food that is comparable to most of my not-so-local favorites (see Shaka's, Miki Chan's in Monterey Park), but it is much healthier. The menu is really simple: bowls or plates with chicken, beef, or beef short ribs atop either white or brown rice. The plates come with a 1/2 orange and cabbage salad. They even offer kimchi upon request! The only thing missing is a good mac salad. If they had that, or some good shave ice, I'd probably move in. Still, the place is better than anything within 8 miles, and it is a no brainer for college folks. Sorry Yaki's, L&L, et al. This place cooks their meat consistently well (no hit/miss burnt or chewy pieces), provides friendly service, and is healthy. read more

Healthy food on a budget!! Check these macros yo... Chicken Bowl Calories: 610, Fat: 4.5g, Carbs: 67g, Protein: 43g SOLD! They put their magic sauce on the side which is nice if you're watching your sugar intake, personally I drown my bowl in it. Switch out the rice for veggies if you're going low low-carb as well. Small cramped parking lot with a lot of college students which might be tough at times. Not the greatest flavors but good for fast and good-for-you food. Beats the hell out of fast food junk. I hope more of these health conscious eateries pop up in the future. Cheers! read more

A Non-Starter According to YELP when I looked as recently as this morning, the Flame Broiler in Glendale is open 7 days a week. After going out of my way to try the place for lunch today, Sunday, I discovered that, as indicated by the Hours of Operation on the front door, it's CLOSED on the Lord's Day, a fact that I've submitted to Yelp to verify for itself and change in its listing. This is more the fault of YELP than the FB. However, it's going to be difficult to mount the energy to care enough to return during the week. It's like getting the inspiring pre-game pep talk from the coach that leaves the players frothing at the mouth, screaming "Kill!", and pounding their helmets against their lockers. Then, at the signal to run out onto the gridiron, the exit door is found to be locked. I mean, to hell with it. read more

If there is fast food I can always go back to, Flame Broiler is my drug of choice. The rice is good, the mixed bowl of chicken and beef works, the food tastes fresh. And then there are the sauces. I had to get a side bowl to mix and match the sauces. This is always my go-to palate cleanser and good dining experience. My refuge and guilty pleasure whenever I go to try someplace new and the food fails to impress me. read more

I went here at the end of last month for lunch. My bowl was delicious and it is a healthy option. I would recommend.

Looking for something inexpensive when I remembered I had coupons in the mailer for buy one plate or bowl and two drinks, get the second one free. Score! The menu was simple and prices were quite reasonable. The Works combo with beef and chicken, salad and steamed veggies were very tasty. A big plus for me is that they offer brown rice for no additional charge. Also, I like that they serve Mini bowls, which is perfect for small appetites. They have several kinds of iced teas and we always like making Arnold Palmers. Another plus. The quality of food was a big cut above Yoshinoya and service was friendly and quick. I'm happy! Flame Broiler will be one of my fast food destinations from now on. read more

I was happy to find this place near my area ever since I graduated from UC Riverside back in June 2010. I love eating at the Flame Broiler when I was in college because it was healthy. When I first came here on Saturday afternoon, I ordered my chicken bowl with brown rice instead of white rice and was happy that I can replace the rice without charge. The magic sauce is great for flavor with the chicken and the pricing is affordable to have. I will return next time to get some Kimchi and try more of their food! P. S. I went back on MLK but it was unfortunately closed. Wished I knew that earlier before I came. read more

Food is good and healthy. Not a big fan of their "magic sauce" (soy sauce and teriyaki). Worth stopping by every so often. I do wish the employees were a little happier. Seemed like the lady taking orders was annoyed she had customers to deal with. Put a smile on your face, the world isn't ending. read more

Good food at a great price. For 6 bucks, I got the Half&Half Mini with brown rice and veggies perfect portion for me & it was delicious. Cashier Angeline ( according to receipt) was attentive and cheerful. I remember when this area had just the little white diner place for food outside GCC. Glad they upgraded. I'll be back! read more

I really do like The Flame Broiler. I like the brown rice and veg/chicken bowl... good, fast, honest food. They don't overcook the veggies to be mushy, which is hard to find at this price point. Service is good and you can even call ahead if you need it even quicker. I might not make a special trip for The Flame Broiler, but it is definitely a good option if I'm in the area. A delicious and nutritious lunch! read more

What can I say: Fast and easy simple fare. Taste great with as much sauce as you want. We like the Triple Hot Sauce. Courteous service and clean restaurant. read more

My mom introduced me to this place and I LOVE the half and half bowls with the "hot" sauce. I wish there was one closer to my home but I am willing to make the drive. I have always taken mine to go so I am not sure about the actual sitting area. I am always full even with the mini bowls so I think you get good bang for you buck. Good Place but wished they stayed opened later. read more

This location has better food than all the other ones. Been going to that one for over 2 years i accidentally went to the one on Brand for lunch that one was disgusting. read more

Flame Broiler - Bowl of meat - Fast Food Near Me - Glendale, California

I go here at least once a week because its quick and right next to school. I switch off between the Quiznos next door and here. Food is average, but its almost 5 bucks for a SMALL simple bowl of rice and few pieces of meat, either beef or chicken. (Id rather eat IN-n-Out with those 5 bucks and get a full meal!) If it wasn't for the convenience of how its few steps away i wouldn't go. But staff is always friendly to me so 3/5. read more
