Chicken bowl
James K.

I was in the area and hungry. Flame broiler was the first place I saw so I decided to get a chicken bowl. I've been to other locations but this one was pretty bad. I could tell the chicken was super old and dry. Probably from the day before or even older. I understand you have to precook the chicken but you don't have to cook couple days in advance. This is an easy fix, quality control

All white meat mini chicken bowl with veggies and avocado!

You really can't go wrong with a chicken bowl...but this location is seriously one of the worst. & ONLY BECAUSE OF the costumer service. It's sad because I work right down the street and frequent this location at least 4x a month... but costumer service is awful! I've had the same cashier time after time and I always try to ignore her rude attitude but someone needs to do something about it. I made a comment on how it was rude to put and leave my money on the counter instead of handing it to me as I did to her and she just looked at me and turned around. I then asked her for her name and she said "look at your receipt". I receive my food and ask her for her manangers name and she continues to walk away and replies "we don't have a manager". Sorry lady, but I'm not stupid. The cook RUBEN clearly sees I'm annoyed and asks me if everything was okay so I ask about the manager and he gives me his name. He then asked if something was wrong so I proceed to tell him about the lady "GEE" always having an attitude and he seems sincere and apologizes on her behalf. Honestly, just because of his courtesy and costumer service this man deserves a raise he asked about my food and I told him there's no complain there. Regardless. According to my receipt her name is GEE. If management can please do something about her, that'd be great!

A+ for customer service. On Jan 25 at 4:30pm Jose and another lady where at the from register they were super kind, helpful, and efficient! Although it was busy the line didn't take long and the orders came out quick. Will be coming back again.

This place is obviously my favorite but not quite at this specific location. Why? Because of this so-called employee with horrible "customer service". She's super rude and has such a smart ass response I've seen it with other customers as I sat here and observed. I would give 5 stars, but the customer service really needs work with her.

5 oz. Regular Half and Half Bowl with white rice, veggies, and fresh avocado!
Tony K.

I have been coming to this flame broiler for a few months now. They recently have been under new ownership and the whole store has done a complete 180. Their customer service has drastically improved, I am actually being greeted and welcomed by who I believe is the new owner. I think he mentioned his name is Gazi. It's heartwarming to receive the same hospitality you would from a small mom and pop spot, but at a chain restaurant. The store also seems to be much more clean than it was before. As someone who is picky about cleanliness in restaurants, I have noticed them doing more to keep the floors and tables cleaner. Most importantly, I've noticed the veggies and avocados are a bit fresher than usual. Out of the few flame broilers in the area, they have all been okay but I think this location has become my new favorite spot for my lunch breaks. I will definitely be coming to this location more often!

Bowl with organic non-gmo tofu, brown rice, veggies, and sauces.
Debbie K.

I gave thumbs up for this company to add organic non-gmo tofu to their broiler protein. Yay! I have been to Flame Broiler 2 times since then and I will be back again. I didn't know they serve brown rice. So the bowl with brown rice, broiled organic tofu, vegetables, and sauces is really healthy. I believe their stuff is non-gmo. I believe the bowl is around 600 calories and 450 mg sodium. Kudos! Also, the bowl has 5 oz of protein. The organic tofu bowl is filling and tasty. Loving it. Please keep up the good work.

First time at this location it was actually a cool spot with parking the back of the restaurant. I ordered the combo chicken & beef was so yummy. The staff was great the restaurant was clean and well kept. Will return if I am ever in Santa Ana in the future

Bug in my food
Porshae J.

Horrible. There was a bug in one of my beef bowls I wish I could post the pictures I took. I will never go here again. It makes me wonder what is going on in that kitchen. I called back the store kept telling me the manger wasnt in. It took 2 days for me to talk to a manger and when I did the manager said he doesn't understand how that could happen. He then questioned me about whether I got vegetables because that could be the only how a bug got in my bowl. So he basically admitted that they've had bugs before, but still gave me a hard time. He only gave me a refund for one bowl. I am never going here again.

A five-star review for a Flame Broiler? No, really, I'm serious. This place just gets it. Take a clean, comfortable location, add great customer service, and provide fresh, affordable food. What do you get? Happy customers. This Flame Broiler is located near the intersection of E. 17th and Main. Look for the Norm's Diner. The parking lot is located behind the restaurant and, unfortunately, doesn't have a whole lot of parking. Luckily, I've always found a spot. I usually get the beef bowl or the beef plate with veggies. The regular beef bowl is only $5.94! It's served with a mountain of rice and lots of tender beef. The green onions add a nice kick, so be sure to get them with your bowl. Add a little spicy or magic sauce and you have a great meal on your hands. The beef plate with veggies is similar to the bowl, but offers a little more variety since it's served with cole slaw, veggies, and orange slices. With the additional veggies, I believe it comes out to $7.95. This is an excellent place to enjoy delicious food without burdening your wallet or diet. Here are a few things to note... -Add veggies to any plate for $0.50 -Add white meat chicken for $1.50 -No extra charge for brown rice! -No charge for extra onions -Most bowls are around 600 calories -Most plates are around 800 calories -No trans fats! Keep up the good work! ^__^

I was originally planning to visit Rubio's in Irvine on my way out of town for the 4th of July…read moreweekend, but something last minute popped up that caused me to stop by the Outlets at Orange instead. Little did I know until I actually got to the outdoor outlet mall that there was a Rubio's here as well! In fact, there was also a Rubio's nearby in Orange on the other side of where the 5 and the 22 freeways meet. However, that closed (alongside dozens of other SoCal locations) and is now an Urbane Cafe. The reason why I was planning to go to Rubio's was because I had recently gotten an email where if I made a purchase within 2 weeks, I could get 500 bonus points. It had only been one week, and I wanted to get those 500 bonus points since it'd already be more than enough to get a reward. Any purchase would have worked, even a drink, though I wouldn't want to review a Rubio's simply for a drink lol. After a quick meetup with my friend, I stopped by Rubio's to get a small bite to eat. I honestly wasn't too hungry, so I was considering a $7 taco meal, which I had completely forgotten the details of since my visits to Rubio's are few and far in between. Luckily, a female employee who was cleaning near the front door offered to help. I quickly scanned the menu, but didn't see that $7 taco combo, so I almost thought Rubio's ceased it. No, it was still active, and she even explained more of what it was. While a $7 taco combo would have made for a nice small meal, I was intrigued by the $4.99 Baja Fish Slider. I had their Original Fish Taco numerous times in the past at the now-closed Lakewood location, but never a slider, which appeared to be that same taco in sandwich form. And with a toasted King's Hawaiian bun?? Why not?! They have two kiosks on the front counter, and I tried my luck with one. I would recommend using a kiosk to order since you can order some complimentary extras, which is what I did. In the case of the Baja Fish Slider, you can request extra Cabbage Slaw and extra Jalapeno Tartar Sauce at no extra cost. In the middle of placing my order, an employee got my attention to let me know they were out of chicken as he posted a post-it note on the other kiosk indicating so. Luckily, I wasn't aiming to get chicken, but imagine if they had run out of fish too as I was submitting my order! That would have made for an interesting scenario lol. I chose to dine in, and at the kiosk, I had to select a flag number and enter the number in the kiosk so they could bring me my order. There were plenty of empty tables inside, and I chose the community table close to the restrooms. They have a salsa bar there, but I bypassed the salsa since I figured the extra Jalapeno Tartar Sauce would be enough. The wait for my Baja Fish Slider was only about 6 minutes. However, during my wait, the female employee mentioned they were going to close at 8 (hey, I rhymed, and I didn't mean to! lol) PM, which was in 10 minutes! I got a little nervous that I wouldn't have much time to actually eat my slider before they closed, but based on my interaction with her, it did not seem like they were going to kick me out if it came down to that. The slider only took me about 3 minutes to eat, so I still had a few minutes to spare as they were closing. I did enjoy the Baja Fish Slider, but didn't think extras of the cabbage slaw and jalapeno tartar sauce did nearly as much to enhance the overall taste profile, so I pretty much regretted not getting even one cup of mild or tomatillo salsa as that would have made a big difference. The beer-battered Alaska Pollock was pretty hot to the touch, but I didn't want to let it cool down since they were closing real soon, so I just chose to deal with it. At least the fried pollock was a decent size, but now I wish I had gotten the $7 Taco Combo instead as that would have been the much better buy. Despite the Baja Fish Slider missing the mark, it was still good enough of a small bite to eat before making my way out of town. The two FOH employees also provided good enough service that evening, so I'm willing to bestow upon them a fourth star rather than just three. I wouldn't return to Outlets at Orange just for Rubio's of course, but if I had to be there for some other reason, I would consider a return visit, especially if I can get another 500 bonus points, speaking of which... I was only expecting to get 550 points from my $4.99 purchase there, but I actually got 600 points instead! It appears I got an extra 50 points for specifically visiting the Outlets at Orange location, but it also appears I could have gotten another 50 bonus points for purchasing a churro? At least that's what I saw in the app, but I had more than enough sweets already that I definitely didn't want a churro, even if it meant an extra 50 points lol.

This one is located at The Outlets of Orange (also known as The Block). They have Taco Tuesday…read morespecials as seen in my pictures. The service is swift, and the staff is friendly. Plenty of seating. The dining area was bright and tidy. The food was fresh and tasty. Their protein to veggie ratio is not balanced. I think an increase in their protein would make the food even better.
