Fire & Flames BBQ Bar & Grill

On a breezy Sunday evening, we decided to dine at Fire & Flames BBQ Bar & Grill, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Opting for outdoor seating, we were impressed by the staff’s attention to detail from the moment we sat down. A waitress promptly wiped down our table, a gentleman brought out a fan to keep us cool, and another staff member lit a citronella candle to ensure our comfort. Although we hadn’t noticed any bugs, the thoughtful gesture added to the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The service was nothing short of exceptional. Unsure of what to order, we chose the sampler platter, which offered a little of everything: perfectly grilled ribs, tender sirloin, flavorful sausage, and juicy BBQ chicken. The platter was accompanied by sides of sweet corn on the cob, buttery garlic bread, and two delectable sauces—a vibrant chimichurri and a rich teriyaki—that complemented the meats beautifully.

The food was impeccably prepared, and the outdoor seating enhanced the experience, offering a relaxed yet vibrant ambiance. The waitstaff checked in with us regularly, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive.

From the thoughtful service to the expertly cooked food, Fire & Flames BBQ Bar & Grill delivered on every level. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy great barbecue with top-notch service, this is it. We left with full bellies and happy hearts, eager to...

We came here because my mom wanted ribs. We were very disappointed. You could get better ribs at an Applebee’s for half the price. We ordered wings to start which came right away. They were pretty good though the waiter told me they would come with 3 sauces but they only came with 2. Our group all ordered either ribs or the bacon cheese burger. The ribs were obviously steamed/boiled then thrown on a grill for a few seconds. They were basically mush with bbq sauce from a store. They were out of baked potatoes so we had fries and mashed potatoes as side. The fries were good but the mashed potatoes were watery and tasted like instant powder. The burger was an obviously frozen patty but was big and tasted ok. They brought out only one order of ribs and one burger at first with everyone else waiting about 10 minutes or more for their meals. Service was pretty slow though after we got our food it did get a bit better. Everything was severely overpriced for the quality of food. The burger was $17 ! Overall, I would avoid this place and go literally...

This was our only bad experience in Aruba. The nachos were made with squeeze "cheese". The house margarita, we suspect, had zero tequila in it. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, and received the BBQ burger. When I told the waiter, he argued that I ordered the BBQ, showing what he entered into his iPad. There is zero chance I ordered the BBQ. He then said he would bring out bacon to place on it, clearly irritated. I told him that I did not want the BBQ sauce on it though, and with a clear attitude he picked the plate up. I attempted to tell him I no longer wanted the meal at all, but he ignored me. The burger had processed cheese on it as well, and was $22. The fries were clearly frozen. A woman came over to ask what the problem was, and explained how it cost them money to now make 2 burgers. We explained that we did attempt to cancel the order, but we're ignored. All in all, we spent $52, left, and had dinner at the delicious Cuban restaurant in town. We do not recommend this place for the food, or...
