FLAMES BAR AND GRILL in Blackburn with Darwen

I went on friday with 10 colleagues from work. Abba tribute night. We were there on time 19.30. Took or orders all fine. By 21.15 still no starters. Others were finishing there desserts. Starters finaly came . Next was the main meal. Steaks all cooked to medium/well done. We had ordered medium rare. Asked for salad came with chips got told by waitress can you just not have that. I replied no. Which she then said. Can I just leave it there. I replied no. All sauces ordered at an extra £3 each came when meals were eaten. Then came the dessert order. Out of 11 of us 10 ordered desserts. By 10.45 2 had arrived. No more came. The only person that was interested in trying to sort our orders out was a young lad Alfie. Thank you Alfie. I'm not one to complain but flames have definatly missed out on any future work outings from us including our chrismas do. Terrible service. And as set menu had to all pay full price for half a meal £29.99 each. Did not even get to enjoy the entertainment of which we could not see due to seating and being so hungry waiting for our meal. Very disappointing

Ordered a Sunday roast delivery. Wow, it was banging. Was gunna take a photo but it was too good.

My Daughter Katie booked a table here for Father's day. I was more than surprised the food was fantastic 12/10 service was great with a fantastic atmosphere. The owner has a great personalty. It was a great night and cannot wait for our next visit. Thanks to all the staff great hospitality.

lovely food and service been a few times now roast beef was really nice.

First visit here and it was a lovely family meal. Service was great, staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Food was absolutely delicious, staff were amazing and very friendly.

Never had a pizza like it! Bellissimo!!

Great place, look forward to going again.

Had a fantastic family meal tonight.The food,the service and the price was excellent.will definitely be back.would highly recommend

Best takeaway in Darwen hands down. Had lasagna and m mixed kebab. Really good quality, taste great well worth the money!

Had a lovely chicken dinner for my husband Peter birthday meal

It was very quiet when we arrived late on a Sunday evening but staff were lovely, portions huge, food good

Lovely staff and excellent food each time we've been. Quick service, too! 100% recommend.

Food was really tasty and well presented. Staff very friendly as well as the owner.

Absolutely fantastic meal..friendly staff...great atmosphere....perfect night out

Me and my partner came here for a meal and were greeted straight away by really friendly staff. We then had the Turkish sausage starter followed by the chef cooked steak which was cooked perfectly. This was followed by with the Baklava for dessert which was also excellent. It's safe to say Flames has become our favourite restaurant. Don't hesitate to try this place, it's definitely worth it!

Recommended by a friend, Flames did not disappoint; delicious food, friendly service, welcoming atmosphere.

I went to "Flames" for a meal and a "Freddie Mercury" tribute act. The three course meal was excellent and the entertainment was too. Staff were very attentive. I cannot complain about anything. Great night!!

Background music at just the right level. Staff very attentive. Enjoyed it all

Amazing food fabulous service highly recommended

The food was absolutely amazing, friendly staff too would definitely go here again

It was OK, Pizza is cooked on a kebab house base. Okay if you're paying for cheap food but when you're paying for Italian style food- not great. Pasta was nice enough just would really not recommend the pizza or garlic bread. Its not authentic at all.

Stone cold not stone baked!The pizza didn’t have chillies on it that I paid for. It was freezing not just cold! Rang them up and they offered a discount next time. Leaving me with a stone cold pizza that was wrong anyway, they then said they would send another but I would have to pay the delivery!! That is NOT how you care for customers. They said they will send another but I think that was to just get me off the phone. Absolutely terrible for the £20 margarita bland cold plain pizza. BIG NO NO

Mixed concetion ... confusing menu that sounds good but not so well executed . Needs a clear vision and could be good

Brill customer service. Couldn't do more to accommodate.

Juicy steak with excellent service

Sunday roast was delicious, definitely recommend!

Ordered food for delivery and was sent the completely wrong order which included wrong food and completely wrong drinks (you sent a pregnant woman an alcoholic drink when we ordered cola?). This was after we waited over an hour. They did eventually send some items from our original order but this took over 45 minutes. They still missed some items off on re-delivery! When the food did arrive it was only semi warm and had to re-heat. The pasta was the only redeeming food that came warm and tasted nice. I was so disappointed as I had heard really good things about this place :(

Expensive delivery cost £5.99 for a short journey.

Food and service was excellent, no complaints from a party of 9, and the place was packed. Pity we had to go and miss Elvis himself.

The freshest most amazing food I’ve ever ordered! Will be ordering again

Amazing food and friendly staff but need better cider

The food was cold by the time it arrived.

Excellent. Just love Sunday Roast here. Sergio and the team are great. Good food atmosphere and service.

Went for the first time on Saturday night. The place is nicely decorated but not too fancy that you have to really dress up. Starters and steaks all fantastic. I was quite surprised by the quality. If this was in the middle of Manchester, it would still do well. Great choice of dishes and really pleasant staff serving as well. On top of that, it’s really reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning and recommending to people!

Had a great time at Flames, we were celebrating my sister's graduation and birthday we were about 20 people outstanding service and omg, the food was amazing! Thanks everyone!

Spent evening here with friends for a meal. Great selection menu. Reasonably priced, good atmosphere and prompt service.

Nice place steak on a stone always a good option. But don’t order the T-Bone. They cut into strips and the strips were too thin to cook it rare. Was a shame.

Great meal in Flames tonight! Lucy looked after us brilliantly! The manager was also very attentive. The steak on a stone was superb! The chocolate fudge cake was to die for! Would 100% recommend and would definitely return. Well Done Flames 🔥

Very nice place for food. But on the expensive side for what it is.

Horrendous service, menus thrown at us with no welcome. Will never be returning

In the area for work, we tried here and it really hit the spot. Steak was cooked perfectly and was a great quality. Service was fantastic too. If we were here longer we would be back for sure.

Had a meal in here for the first time last night for a double birthday celebration. Wow…the food, atmosphere and staff were superb. We absolutely loved it and will be back again. Can’t thank you all enough for making it a special night. The steak I had was cooked to absolute perfection as was my wife’s who opted for the cook yourself steak which again was just superb. The staff are incredibly attentive and kind and make you feel so welcome. Thank you. X

The food we received tasted good, however the Cannelloni is marked as vegetarian on the menu and it came with beef mince in it. The pizza had no rocket on it.

Really nice food bit on the expansive side. One the servers tried to sort change me. But the owner soon sorted it out. Lovely food lovely place definitely going back. 👍👍👍🍆

Great family meal. Absolutely brilliant food and friendly service

Lovely place, staff helpful and the food great

One of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. Every course was excellent.

Can't go wrong here. Lovely food. Great value with Gourmet Society card.

Had a meal with the parents. First visit and definitely won't be the last. The food was out of this world! I had the King prawns in chilli and garlic. Parents had King prawn sizzler and chicken sizzler and we also had spare ribs. The owner/ chef came out and asked us about our food. I think he liked out response!! Fabulous food, atmosphere, wine. A great night.

Brilliant Sunday lunch. The beef was cooked perfectly and the eton mess was delicious

Waitress was extremely rude, food wasn't great, probably wouldn't go there again to be honest. Expensive to be fair, £171 for 6 of us and son wanted a takeaway on the way home Cos he was starving.

Very good food in a very pleasant atmosphere. Recommended. Erg lekker eten in een supergezellige tent. Echt een aanrader.

Just got one dish wrong twice but lovely staff and service will be back

We went on st George's day for the Sunday lunch. It was delightful .great wine too .the staff were lovely the chef even came out to say hello. Highly recommended. Sorry for the late review guys . I drove past today and it reminded me

Lovely birthday treat, great food.

Really good food! Really nice staff and a nice venue. Ate here many times whilst working away and it didn't disappoint! :)

I really enjoyed the food. The Ribeye steak on a lava plate was very succulent. We were a party of 20 as well.

10 out of 10 recommend the lava plate steaks 🥩 lovely venue and great staff

Fantastic wood fired pizzas, absolutely delicious. Fast delivery and everything arrived fresh and hot. Cannot fault the taste and quality!

Great night staff very friendly and welcoming food excellent

Great food and exceptional service, would highly recommend.

What an amazing experience, you have to visit this place! Didn't get here until almost 9pm, seated straight away, shown the menu which is amazing and advised about the daily specials. I noticed there was a set menu on the back of the menu and a colleague brought the menu over. Looking over the menu it looked like we were just over the finishing time for the set menu and I asked a colleague if were we too late.. without any fuss she said it would be fine.. so we ordered. The tomato soup of the day was a credit to the chef along with the pate. Served and presented so well but the taste was superb. The mains arrived beef burger and chicken burger both loaded with crispy salad, gherkins, burger sauce both very moist and tasty. Well presented with steak cut chips in a basket. Lastly Eton mess and banoffee mess... Wow... Amazing. Full of flavour. Well presented.. cream and ice cream were of decent quality you could taste this. Was a very enjoyable experience and they deserved a nice tip for attitudes atmosphere, attentiveness and amazing food quality. I was only visiting here for a wedding but I will definitely come back here again in the not so distant future and worth drive here. This place is fab.

Great food and nice service from the staff.

Excellent meal out with my wife here last Sunday, brilliant food, nice cocktails, great service.

Great service. Best steak around

We had a 50th at the weekend here and had a great time. The food was really nice. They did mess the final bill up a little bit and overcharged us for the meal deals a few of us had but to their credit they did sort it out in the end so just be aware of this.

Good food nice staff and a good atmosphere would recommend

Fantastic night, amazing food with special friends, will definitely be back🥰

Fantastic food. Baklava was homemade and amazing, so much pistachio in it. Owner and staff were lovely. Out of the way for us to visit unfortunately, but if we're up that way again we will be revisiting.

The food, service and atmosphere here is absolutely wonderful, the lava rock steak is EASILY the best thing you can get in this pace and the chocolate crepes are a total delight - best place for date night or any event you have in mind - and the people are so friendly it's a complete breathe of fresh air ❤️ 1000% recommend!

Great food, great atmosphere and very pleasant attentative staff

We decided on a new place for steak, this looked good with pictures but we all know some of the pictures aren't always the best .. but.. my gosh... The food was amazing the steak was amazing .. really reasonably priced .. the staff where so friendly and happy didn't come over and check ever 2 mins like some places.. even had desert that was Also amazing. I would highly recommend this place to couples or families . It's a Cosy place too. You would not be disappointed..

Lovely food which can't be faulted ... Shame that we weren't made aware of price increase.. Menus not updated and small A4 sign on a wall, not obviously advertised, waitresses didn't inform us of increase which manager said they should have done.. Not their fault when it's busy. When bill arrived it was £60 more that the menu stated. Would be an idea to put a note clipped to the menu instead of small notice on a wall to let people know in future

Fantastic food and service was second to none!

Nice srrounding inside. Shame about the English female who served us last night. Her mannerism was appalling. If you like cold potatoes vegetables and steak then this is the place for you. If you want other people's young children climbing up on your chair in your absence then this is the place for you. All in all the food is bland. This place has got to be the worse that I have been to in a very long time.

Absolutely perfect if you don’t mind cold lobster and raw steak !food came out cold lobster🤢 and the steak was still alive.so we sent both of them back and asked for fresh ones to be sent back 🤯and gess what Same freakin’ food came back ..the manager was there but didn’t want to come and look me in the face (so rude.lat time for me)p.s if you do want to go to get really good food then go to essence 👍or Mac Donald

Fantastic food and service, looking forward to going again

Not worth price burger soggy and chips, garlic bread has no teast never ordering again

Loved it. Fantastic steak and great, friendly atmosphere.

Nice cosy place but I found it a tad expensive 4 what I ordered and service a little haphazard

Good fillet, chose to have it cooked not cook yourself on the stone and it was really tasty. Best meal I've had here and I'll keep to having my meal cooked for me from now on.👍

We had a cancel our Christmas Day table with friends a few weeks before Christmas, as I had to shield due to my high risk pregnancy. Our friends still went, but we asked Sergio if it was possible for us to have our Christmas Day meal as a take away instead, Sergio’s reply - not a problem! My hubby collected our food, and it was delicious, large portions and quality food for a great price. I just wanted to say a huge thank you for being so accommodating, and we’ll be back once baby has arrived! Thanks again 😊

Had a brilliant time. great service. Very friendly and amazing food.

Excellent food, dink and atmosphere Highly recommend this place!!!!

Wonderful homely atmosphere and food delicious

Brilliant food, great staff - lovely atmosphere. 10/10

We have been on a number of occasions and have had a few family birthday meals here too and all the staff are so amazing and friendly.

Really nice restaurant but the drinks took far too long to the point our meal was served before them. Food was alright but nothing spectacular unfortunately.

This place is amazing ,the food is so tasty and fresh . We took the kids with us for our wedding anniversary, we was made to feel so welcome . The atmosphere is perfect ,relaxed clean . We would highly recommend this place for either a family meal or romantic meal for 2 . Definitely will be visiting again thank you

Lovely place with lovely food. Staff were fantastic too.

Likes to exploit students would not recommend anybody working there

The staff are some if the friendliest here. They are so welcoming and the chat seems so genuine and not forced. So kind to my little one and even gave him a little activity to do whilst we waited for our food. The place is well looked after and clean. The food was good we had the hot Stone steak and the experience of that itself is very unique and fun.

Brill food lovely friendly staff

Lovely food and cosie venue, waitress was friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place

Never thought I'd like 'cook your own stake' on a hot stone ... but I do. Great atmosphere, great staff & no I don't work there.

I came tonight for a birthday meal for one of my friends and I arrived late unfortunately however, the staff were more than accommodating and I was able to place my order in good time to catch up with the rest of the group. The food was absolutely amazing. I don't eat meat, so I was a bit apprehensive about attending as I wasn't sure I would be able to eat anything but I had the stuffed pepper and the veg burger and if was so good. Thank you for an amazing evening. I will definitely be back for sure.

The service is excellent but my fillet steak was the worst fillet I’ve ever had. It was fatty, chewy and basically awful, I’m sure it wasn’t even fillet, more like rump, full of fat, hard to cut and even harder to eat. I can not fault the staff and service but I will most definitely Not be eating there again.

Poor service, steaks came out at different times. We sent 2 back as they weren't cooked properly and then when they returned the chips were replaced with cheap fries. Overall a bad meal!

We always have a great time at Flames - great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. We've been tonight during the easing lockdown with outdoor eating and drinking and still left satisfied and happy.
