Flames Eatery & Bar

Don’t want to make it a long story but came here because Google showed me some bad reviews when I googled the restaurant to see what time they close tonight. I COMPLETELY disagree with the folks badmouthing this place. I have been coming here since forever during my student days at SJSU when they opened their doors and they make amazing food and provide amazing service. You can choose ANYTHING on the menu—from Chinese to Italian and from breakfast to dinner entries at any time of the day—it tastes OUTSTANDING! Prices are great. Location good from an accessibility point of view and lots of parking - but a little risky in terms of safety if you want to take a walk afterwards in the dark. I recommend you take a walk around the beautiful SJSU campus rather. The lit-up tower and fountain look spectacular at night. Again, no idea why people leave bad reviews here. What did they expect? To eat on the TITANIC?! lol GREAT PLACE! Message me if you have questions!

My daughter and I have lunch here whenever we can. The waiter s are very respectful nice quiet clean atmosphere. I love a place that let's you talk to your lunch buddy and not be interrupting every 5 minutes. However if there is something you need someone is always there to get you what you need. Prices are good, are a is always clean. I highly recamend FLAMES. I am a prude when I eat out. But I have never had one thing to complain about here. 3yrs ago I wrote this review it still applies today the only place in Downtown San Jose I would consider going to

If you're into Holadaise sauce, the 'Flames Eatery & Bar,' is the place to come. They add it to just about everything . . that's an exaturation of course, but it is rather the feeling you get. And, I have to admit, just contemplating it while I made and consumed a different order, made me ask myself afterwards, 'why didn't I order myself something with Holandaise sauce?' My brain must have taken me back to a time - now, long forgotten - suposedly . . when I had something of this nature, and, so now, my taste buds are rapping me on the side of the head, saying . . Hey! Holandaise sauce! . . have you forgotten? Well . . I have, but you can bet on one thing . . the next time I come back, to the Flames Eatery & Bar, I'm going to have one thing appearing on my plate . . yep . . you guessed it . . Hollandaise Sauce, and that's for damn sure! This restaurant - located on the corner of 4th & Santa Clara, you could almost say, is the gateway to San Jose State University. Because, it's just across the street. I think the restaurant is nicely laid out. It was very quiet the Thursday afternoon I arrived. Maybe because I think, the items on the menue, are a little bit too pricey for students . . maybe, unless of course, it's served with Hollandaise Sauce - kidding. The seats are a bit low when you sit in them - up periscope - but, afterwards, you can settleback in them and have visions of Hollandaise Sauce. The menue is pretty varied, with plenty of selections to choose from, whether it be omlets, appetizers, seafood . . Oh! and where can you find a nice place that just would serve a good old fashion hot fudge sunday. The Flames, Eatery & Bar, can be more specifically, located at, 88 south 4th street, in downtown San Jose, Calif. Have yourself a nice dinner - there's Greek, Italian, and, domestic choices. You'll get nice portions at this, what has been considered a rather, Las Vegas style appearance, and, oh! on your way out, you just might want to take home with you, a nice cake, that they have offering, in the display cabinet, Enjoy!

Went for breakfast. Great food but nothing amazing. Indoors was dark and hard to see. Had nice outdoor seating with shade. My partner got a short stack. They were fluffy nice portion. I got the works omelet. It was filling, savory, huge portion and fresh fruit on the side A friend got the California eggs Benedict. He said it was delicious, hardy and healthy meal.

For my first time here I have to say I really enjoyed it . I had breakfast and so did my friend . I sat at the bar and the bartender there was really attentive and quick . It was Sunday game day. it was pretty packed but she managed all the orders with persision. The foood was great. The amount was perfect. Huge pancakes . Plenty of seating and the parking is good too.

Absolutely HUGE menu. They serve everything from pancakes to spaghetti to Greek food, so it's a great place to go with a large group if people can't make up their minds what they're in the mood for. Flames is a small chain with several locations but this one in downtown San Jose is my favorite. Feels pretty upscale and has nice streetscape views from the booths. Even has a small outside patio area for sunny days. I had the Eggs Benedict (eggs perfectly poached) on this visit while my wife really enjoyed the special of the day - a red beet salad with chicken and walnuts. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the service which can be a bit slow when the place gets busy.
