“Flame Bar & Grill”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012 NEW

Yes, average just about sums up our recent dining experience here. We were a party of 8 plus one toddler, visiting from Sydney, Australia, & expecting to tuck into the famed finger-licking ribs on the night. The ambience was noisy & smoky (from all the chargrilling so exhaust systems seemed to be struggling) but that was okay for us, afterall,... More

“Pleasant but not overwhelming”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012 NEW

I enjoyed my meal but the steak was not fabulous. Was cooked to order so I can't complain about it being over/underdone, simply wasn't a great piece of meat. The staff were very friendly and asked if I was content. My view of any restaurant is that a meal should include a choice of greens or vegetables, and this was... More

“Nice location and food was good.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012 NEW

Location right by the wharf. Food was south african steak house and add some interesting items and the ribs looked tasty but passed on them and got a burger. The burger was over cooked for what we ordered but the meat was nicely seasoned and thick. The bun was too large for the meat patty so the first couple bites... More

“Great ribs but so so steaks”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

I was really impressed with the ribs but in our party of 13 all 6 who have mixed grills to share had over cooked steaks (we ordered blue or rare) they were the last to come out as I would expect however for a restaurant named flame I would expect the steaks to be perfectly cooked. In fairness we didn't... More

This is a great place to take school age kids for a quick but nice meal. A great alternative to the usual pizza and fish n chips. The kids had ribs which were very tasty and good value. Quick and efficient service even when busy. More
