Flames Coffee Shop

They always have great food, great greater, and great waiter. I swear once we ordered it took us 3 sips of coffee and r food was at r table. My Husband and I were in shock how fast we got it and how great the food was. NOTE: We did not even have to wait to be seated. Walked in sat at table and coffee in hand.

Great service, Delicious food Huge portions!

Food flavor caters to elderly people that need lack of salt and pepper. Quality is that of an old buffet style or Shari's. It's not gross, just bland and basic. The greeters were very friendly but the server had a bit to go to consider friendly. He wasn't extremely nice, but his service wasn't horrible.

Good food everybody minds there business

This restaurant is the go to breakfast spot for those in South San Jose. The food portions are generous and flavorful, especially the omelets. They also have great lunch and dinner selections, which include large burgers and sandwiches. The wait staff, especially Manuel and Lupe are great.

Good food, good portions. Service was great. What more does one need?

Fast service. Good food. Coffee seemed a bit overpriced.

Great! But honestly it's always great. Quick service, giant portions and reasonably priced. Thank you Flames you never let me down!

Good place, good food, service is good to go. Also wanted to say there is a waiter there who just makes the eating experience really fun. He is one of the best I've ever met.

Nice place that we have had breakfast and lunch here.😋

I am very happy that there aren still small chains of stores left and flames is one of them. The food is very good - maybe not fantastic but I don't always want fantastic food and then have to pay fantastic prices and wait on fantastic lines. Good varied menu, service people are friendly and fast and portions are large. it's a happy place to have breakfast brunch.

Great overall experience. Staff are very friendly and enthusiastic and the food portions are very good for the price.

We were definitely the youngest people there but it was great to bring our kids to. The food came very promptly.

Great service, awesome food... huge servings

Local favorite diner style, very fast and affordable, delicious breakfast

Old school diner food. Nothing much other than that. A great greasy spoon tucked away in a sleepy part of town. Not to mention Flames is a Bay Area institution that somehow escaped from Las Vegas and threw up its decor and left. A great spot for old school diner food. A+

ALWAYS GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE.

Good food and generous portions served by a courteous and friendly staff.

Very Good service. HUGE PORTIONS!! Reasonable Pricing. I will go back...

excellent service,clean,family-friendly

I feel like I could sit here for a hour or two writing my books and drinking coffee and then ordering some lunch and writing in between. :) This is a great place to get food. It's clean, the staff are nice, the food is hot & delicious, and it's very cozy to be inside. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely come back here again sometime. :)

Great food fast service fair price large portions.

Friends and I meet here weekly friendly staff our favorite is the breakfast sandwich.

Great service and great burger!

I've been going here with family and friends for over 10 years. The service is amazing. It seems like allot of the waiters have been there for as long as I can remember. It's just nice to have a huge option of food, a waiter that you know, dependable service, and a relaxed family environment. They also added a small bar so now you can order drinks thought this is not a place your going to see people getting roudy.

The food is always good. It is plentiful, good quality and affordable. And the servers are pleasant and attentive. A very nice experience!

Great food, friendly service

Back in the 80's the San Jose Flame restaurants were at their pinnacle. I met a friend for dinner and the menu seemed less sofisticated now with more sandwiches type entrees. I ordered a hot turkey sandwich with coleslaw and got cottage cheese side instead the place was less packed than the 80's height of status. A Denny's has more to offer. Maybe I'm wrong , But it was a little disappointing.

Good service good food

Good service, good food and quantity for the price

The food here is surprisingly good. I remember eating at the one close to valley fair and it wasn't good at all. That was years ago, but at this location and downtown it's pretty good. This is recent though, so I think they changed their stuff,or maybe the people that run the place is better. The fish and chips are good. Had the morning quesadilla and that's good too. Overall, the food is good and great service.

Ate at counter. Staff is busy. Steak (needs seasoning) and eggs. Have to ask for refills on coffee each time.

The best liver bacon and onions

Fast service, awesome food & outstanding service!

Reasonably priced, large down home portions, always friendly service. Decor a bit worn, but doesn't affect the good food or service. Not trendy and plenty of parking.

My favorite Tuna Melt! Delicious and great brownies and sweets too*

Have been coming here for years food is always good and the service is great!!!

I like the service. Large amount of food. Fast service. Price's ok. Plan to return

The service is simply divine, the food a work of art. The place is simply wonderful.

I ALWAYS HAVE THE SPAGHETTI SAUCE AND COFFEE AND THE SALAD IS SO CRISPY AND DELICIOUS I AM TOTALLY HAPPY WITH THE BEST WAY TO START THE DAY WITH THE BEST MEAL EVER. YUMMY TO MY TUMMY. SEE YOU AT BREAKFAST THIS MORNING. THANKS FOR THE BEST RECIPE AND DELICIOUS FLAVOR AND WARM SERVICE THAT THE FAMILY HAS MADE THIS THE PLACE TO GO. .

Food is pretty good. Service is good. Give it a try.

Love to stop at the Flames with my grandson when I'm in San Jose. Entertaining, friendly with big portions and good tasting home cooked flavor!!
