Delicious food. Everyone complaining about service expects olive garden waiters and bimbo voice workers. Great local burger joint, thought it is true the prices have been going up over the years. read more

Been coming to this place for years but the prices have been going all the way up and the quality going down. We always order the chicken Swiss mushroom sandwich combo and it costs a whopping $25!! That is the same price as an entree at the Cheesecake Factory! At least there you get free bread and good service. Also $6 for fries is pretty ridiculous especially if they aren't crispy and don't fill the bag... would rather spend my money elsewhere. read more

I tired to give this place another chance but they failed once more .. Their prices have increased dramatically in which I can understand based on the economy however the food was just terrible.. Their fries were burnt to a crisp to where you couldn't tell they were fries anymore and the burgers were cold. The service is also bad so we won't be coming back again.. They need to care about what they're serving to the customers and change their attitudes. read more

I loved the pastrami sandwich which is packed with pastrami and the chicken fijita plates is okay with me as it was my first time, overall it's really fulfilling for me. read more

I just needs a quick meal and decided on the drive through: I got three items : Orange Bang easy ice medium - sweetened and creamy like I remembered- 8/10 Taquitos plate - with a side of refried beens plus Mexican rice and chopped lettuce, tomatoes topped with four cream and a side of guacamole cream sauce - 6/10 because the taquitos stayed crunchy! Mystery meat might have been shredded beef but not great taste. The asada burrito was just sad : I got the carne asada with rice and beans : 4/10 - it was sizable but the meat was so dry and chewy that I had to give up on eating it at all. Takeout was under 10 minutes but no one was in the lot or behind me. I probably should try coming earlier rather than for dinner time because the meat sure seemed like it might have been sitting in a warmer or heat lamp all day. I might give them another try sometime. read more

Though the food is good, the service in this place sucks!. The workers here are not friendly at all. If you don't like to work with the public, then quit! They don't smile, they don't greet you. I'm surprised people still go there! The tv's are always on, the chairs do not put out from the tables, I believe there is one or two tables that do, but that's it. An inconvenience if you happen to be slightly overweight like myself. Smile people! read more

Good mozzarella sticks and chili cheese fries. Burgers are decent and differ from time to time

All of the time I asked for a junior burger I tell them just to add chili and cheese only I keep getting a burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and that secret sauce. I don't like it as much that way they only got it right one time out of like the 5 times I have gone there read more

Chili dog and chili fries. They also have fantastic breakfast burritos and chicken wraps. Have also had steak sandwich and patty melt. Their fries are the best in the area. The food comes out quick and servers are friendly. read more

Trash ass food this place use to be good 8 years ago and now it's trash. I tried giving it another chance at least once a year and it's always a huge disappointment read more

Late night munchie trip led us here. We arrived right before they closed the deive thru 945pm Ordered 2 - bacon hamburger combos Hamburgers were good, fry portion is huge. Fries were super over salted but I would go back. (We just shook them out in a strainer lol ) If you're looking for a quick 10$ combo try flames. We have also tried their breakfast burritos and they were good. read more

This place has fallen off. A worker has gotten mad because I sent back two orders of fries cause they were burnt twice. For years they've done their full teriyaki plates with salad in the side and with no notice or letting any one know they now make it only half with half salad in the same tray Wait times have increased read more

Best grilled chicken sandwich in Hawaiian Gardens Lakewood area. Unlike chick fil a or McDonald's this one isn't loaded with dark meat and fat. Well cooked and well seasoned. I like the vibes of the place, old timey burger joint. Friendly staff too. read more

I love flames! My favorite dishes have to be the chicken nachos and fries. They always give you a massive bag of fries and they're so fresh. read more

Flame's - chicken nachos - American Near Me - Lakewood, California

The food is pretty decent. The problem I have is, every time Ive come I somehow get charged more for basically the same thing I get. First it was $14 for the tenders with fries. Then it was 15 something. And now this past time I came it was 16 with no drink. The lady at the window made it a point to tell me it would be the same price whether I got a drink or not. Even worse than the price is the wait time. I've come when there's no cars in front of me and I've come when there 2 cars in front. Every single time the wait was more than 20minutes. Like bro come on you can't make a burger and fries faster. read more

A friend of mine bought be a breakfast burrito from here, it was amazing. I was in the area and had to go back to get a breakfast burrito, it was amazing again. Whatever they do to the potatoes are life changing. 10/10 recommend and will be back. read more

Best French fries I've ever had, & the large order is the perfect size. Service could be friendlier.

Wait time is horrible. Been wait almost 30 minutes on drive thru for my food. I wait almost 20 minutes for someone to open the window.

Good food and fast service. The best noon rings are fresh and not overcooked. Patty melt and fries were also very good read more

I am very disappointed in the service here. I went yesterday and found a long black hair in my food. It looks like the people in the kitchen don't wear hairnets. The cashier at the front was very rude when I tried to address the problem. Won't be going back. read more

I been in the drive thru for 25min just waiting on my food to be ready . I ordered two combos no mames. They call it big flame but its more like little flame cause thats how long it took to cook these damm burgers read more

Bro their bacon cheeseburger is the absolute best around the area. When I say its the best I mean the type of burger joint. You know the style grilled like from the Mexican joints that sell like all types of food ranging from breakfast to like chicken bowls etc. From boys burgers Johnny Jr omega galaxy etc.. I found this place legit has the burger DOWN... like it has a LOT to do with their burger dressing (thousand island) Normally I need a little more sauce on my burgers at these types of places but not here its seasoned so nice. Fries are nice and crispy I get no salt but their seasoning is good too. To the man in the low review asking to try the chili that was funny in what restaurant like these types will let you sample anything.... that was a good on had a good laugh. Service and pricing is what you expect. Only its cheap here honestly. They charge you for sauce and refills etc but if you look at their burgwr combos its cheap compared to other places. People act like inflation isn't a thing. Even Jack in the box charges for sauces. Service was good just asked what I wanted gave me what I needed in a prompt friendly manner thats it. I try to get their burger like once every 2 weeks if I can since 20+ minutes out! Thanks flames you got the bomb bombs!!! read more

Flame's - Chili cheese and bacon cheeseburger cant go wrong with this combo. - American Near Me - Lakewood, California

Outstanding old school type drive in (although they also have a drive thru) burger joint. They have a large menu with breakfast and burgers as well as some Mexican food. The place was packed when I walked in at about 1:30. They have indoor and outdoor seating but everyone was there for takeout. My bacon cheeseburger and onion rings totaled about $16 which is about normal for a good burger. The bacon cheeseburger was excellent and the order of onion rings was HUGE in addition to tasting great. With all of the customers waiting inside and in the drive thru, service was fast and friendly. It's easy to see why they are so busy Totally recommended and I would love to come back if I'm in the area read more

Flame's - These are what you call fries zucchini wow! If you order these fried zucchinis looking like limp weenies - American Near Me - Lakewood, California

I've been getting food here for the past 2 years and everything has been good so far and the foods great. But 2 days ago I got the buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks and I got extremely sick and was vomiting and having diarrhea for about 2 days. I'm barely recovering right now, but I do not recommend this place anymore. read more

The cook is handling the food without gloves. On his phone texting and eating at the same time as cooking. It's not clean at all. read more

Ever have a bacon breakfast burrito and your bite is nothing but potato? Not at Flames! Enjoyed my bacon, egg, potato, and cheese burrito that had the perfect blend of everything. They use hash brown potatoes and chop the bacon so that all ingredients are in EVERY...SINGLE...DELICIOUS...BITE! read more

The flames special burrito is so fire!!!! And it's huge the area was very clean and service was nice

Since my last visit, I have had the grilled chicken teriyaki plate and then Special Burrito. They were both great. The chicken teriyaki plate comes with A LOT of rice and chicken, as well as a side salad. I loved seeing how much food they give with this plate and how they definitely didn't hold back on the portion. The Special burrito was also really good. This one comes with ham, sausage, bacon, eggs, potatoes and cheese. Similar to what a lot of other places sell but i found that it was cheap too, and a good size. It left me more than satisfied and would get it again without a doubt. read more

This place usually has good burgers, but the person who is in front serving the customer a lady who thinks she is the owner of the restaurant has a bad attitude, I arrived at the drive thru and they told me to wait, I was waiting for 20 minutes and no one was attending, I got off and she was laughing that I was waiting this is a lack of respect for customers, hopefully the owner can see this and take action on the matter, because with this attitude will lose customers, it is not the first negative comment I see to this person. I don't usually do this, but it is not fair for the owner to lose customers because of an employee. read more

It's an alternative to Mc Donald's...it's not like a fancy restaurant but more like Denny's. The prices are reasonable and taste pretty good and the portions are quite large. Also their service is good^^ Recommend for quick bite on the run! read more

Our first time here and the food was decent. Way better priced than Omega burgers! The fries are crispy and the burger bun was soft and tender plus the lettuce was fresh and crispy too. My husband liked his cheeseburger combo also. He said he's willing to come back. Many people are here inside sitting and eating so to me, that is a good sign. read more

Flame's - Crispy fries are good and seasoned with season salt. - American Near Me - Lakewood, California

Descent cheese burger spot. I was greeted with a standard head nod. First time here, so I ordered a double cheeseburger to try out the place. Bun was ok, not dry or old but not moist or toasted either. American cheese was standard to what's expected of these mom/pop places. Beef patty's seasoned with salt and peeper, and a bit dry- like it was pre cooked/ or grilled earlier in the day. Lettuce and tomato were fresh but the onion flavor and crunch were not fully present. Pickles were a highlight- flavorful and sweet. The thousand island dressing was good and standard resembling a Kraft product. Will I return, more than likely not. read more

I don't know why I went back again. That is my fault. I asked for well cooked hash browns, I again received cold in the middle undercooked food. I was very patient ordered over the phone food took about 30 minutes to be ready. Omega burgers is a little further but their food is much better. Will not be going back. Big flames is trash. read more

The food is maybe a tad bit above average. Thin burger patties (not handmade) just like most burger joints. The breakfast burritos are ok, just be sure to distinguish which type of potatoes you want (hash browns or their home fries-style potatoes that seem to have chorizo like flavoring). The regular hash browns are way better in my opinion. The service is ok, nothing extra special. The ambiance is ok, not a dirty place but certainly not pristine. Over all 3.5 of 5 stars. read more

food here is good been coming here since my high school days for the car with asada fries and spinich chicken wrap. Only downside is the wait time, but it's understandable because it is fresh read more

I've been coming here for 12 years and today will probably be my last day. I called and placed an order for a chicken Caesar salad as I do EVERY week. The lady on the phone today not only could not speak English very well but I had to repeat myself 10 times. I knew something would be wrong when I came to pickup my order and surely it was. Not only was my salad not what I ordered, they tried to convince me this was the Caesar until the cook admitted it was not and she took the order wrong. Now I'm late to a meeting because I have to wait for them to remake a new one. I don't know if it's the same owners or not but having to repeat yourself 12 times to place an order is ridiculous. read more

This place has been going downhill for a while now, this isn't the first time I've gotten such stale, burned fries. I didn't notice till I got to the park so I just took the loss. The original owners to this restaurant were in point with everything on the menu, they actually now own Jim's burgers in Anaheim, I knew I should have just gone there. read more

I love this place, their breakfast burritos are the best! I think they've night have made some changes to their salsa they put in the burrito which is a bit disappointing but it's still the best in the area! read more

Came back for their double cheeseburger, added bacon. Have to say their burger is pretty legit too. The patties were on the thin side and a little too much lettuce for my liking but the overall taste was on point. Generous with the fries. I then came back for the philly cheesesteak, and id give it a similar review. Kinda thin on the protein but overall taste on point. read more
