Flames

I stay in Rhode Island and I used to frequent the Providence flames A LOT! Until their food got too bland and dry. People say they changed to appease yt peepo taste buds in the area but either way, I stopped going there and found Island House on Broad st. Anyway, I always heard that the flames in Boston stayed true to the roots and the flavors were 100% better than Providence. The other day I was in Boston and although flames was 20mins out of the way, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. My mouth watered the whole ride there and upon arrival, the clerk was so friendly and inviting! I was excited cuz I knew I wanted the jerk chicken. To keep a long story short, the jerk was not jerking, ok. The chicken was drier than a bad joke. No flavor and shredding. I am so sorry because the sweet and spicy chicken was smackin- but that was the highlight because the cabbage was fresh (bland) and the rice and peas had good flavor but there were too many hard pieces of rice in it. Made me question the freshness of it all. I wouldn’t go back there.. I’m wondering now if people in Rhode Island was referring to the next flames in Boston, because Huntington Ave is not giving, at all. My picture is to demonstrate the dryness and lack of seasoning to the chicken. Tasted baked, not grilled. Theres no pics of the sweet and spicy chicken or the *HOMEMADE* beef patty because we demolished them, they were 10 outta 10!!

The food is okay, but the place needs a renovation. I invited a friend for a lunch there and I was embarrassing. I sat on a dry chewed chicken bones, there was a dead insect by the window where we sat. The cushions and the pillows on the sitting area are dirty and smelly, the table was not steady and let me not talk about the bathroom. Just disgusting, they make enough money to renovate that place.
