Flame Broiler - Bakersfield

Cashier Tiffany V. Was pretty rude seems like she didn't want to be there, but the food is great

1st impression, 1st visit.. The food was very good, very tasty looked healthy. I had never eaten here before, I have been wanting to try the place since I watched it being built. I was not disappointed, the staff was quick to answer my many questions, they did not hesitate to explain the options available to me very friendly, I like that since I did not know what to expect. The inside layout is a bit small/tight especially at the ordering area. I can see where it can bottleneck in a crunch situation. The place was very clean inside out, ample of parking in the rear. So get on over there and try the place out I think you will be pleasantly surprised like I was. I ordered the Beef Chicken Platter. MRod

Service was good, food was mediocre. I got the beef bowl, my wife had the tofu. We both agreed, not enough veggies. The meat was dry. 3 little cups of sauce and some hot sauce and it was pretty good, but not great. She was happier with the tofu, but left about 1/2 of it in the bowl. Hope they improve.

Walking in it looks like a cozy place to enjoy a meal and with indoor and outdoor seating options that's definitely the case. I did find the line organization was awkward due to it's small size but let's be real, we're talking food and service. Flame Broiler in my opinion has fine service, not the greatest. Employees looked busy which makes sense considering I went for lunch, but they were quick and effective even if not the friendliest. Though one lovely bit is they bring your food to you and call you by name. The main three proteins are chicken, beef, and tofu mixed in with white or brown rice and veggies. I tried the half and half (chicken and beef) with white rice. If you enjoy char chicken you're in for a treat. The beef itself was fantastic and with two options for sauces and additional toppings you'll be sure to have your regular bowl. Highly recommended.

Great food. You can actually taste the food in its simplicity.
