Flame Broiler — Restaurant in Jacksonville

RIPOFF & GROSS!!! I ordered a half&half plate $13.25 with a side of 2 wings $3.75 (yes that is $1.87/wing) total was $18.28 The plate comes with a side salad and fruit. Ha! What a joke. Side salad is about two bites of cabbage and carrots drowned in what tasted like Italian dressing. The fruit is about half of a dried up orange. The beef in the half&half is equivalent to the small pieces found in the bottom of a beef jerky package, while the chicken is reminiscent of the small pieces that would be left over from your mark pi’s bowl after about three days. The gentleman behind the counter that was nice enough to recommend extra magic sauce, at the “sauce bar”. This ,in my opinion, was a life-saving tip, because the extra lubrication helped so that the dryness of the meal did not become lodged in my esophagus. He did, however forget to serve my meal as “dine in” after asking me multiple times if I was eating dine in or carry out and he also forgot to ring me up for a drink which I found was not included with the meal and much to my surprise was an additional $3.01 (for a fountain drink.) needless to say this was my second time eating at the flame Broiler… My first...

I honestly wish I'd made a review like 4 months ago. I used to love coming here on my lunch break, it is usually a perfect mix of mystifyingly delicious chicken, rice, and veggies. Portion size is usually very good for the price. Considering how friendly the staff is and how quickly you get your food, it's easy to enjoy spending money here...usually. I say usually because the past 3-4 times I've gone, my bowl has been a lot smaller (noticeably less rice), while the chicken has more gristle and is overcooked. So the balance is off now, and you feel jipped just like every other mainstream business these days. I only go once a month now in hopes it returns to the way it was. A man can dream...

5 stars months ago, 3 stars now, so I'll meet in the middle at 4.

Oh, and for any Flamebroiler virgins reading this, do yourself a favour and just try it once. But you have to get magic sauce. Magic sauce is necessary, just...

I've been eating here for years. The staff changes from time to time and even how you order has changed several times. I'm disappointed right now because for some reason they are reducing the portion size of the regular bowl. I don't understand if this is a Flame Broiler directive or if this is specific to the Flame Broiler off of Butler and Route 1. I think I'll probably try one of the other locations and see if it is the same. Though right now the meat portions and even sometimes the vegetable portions are smaller. Recently I ordered three bowls and two had practically no cabbage and about half as much meat as normal. I really liked the food though if they want to reduce the portion size it's not worth it to eat here I'll find something else, well unless the staff change again and all of sudden the portion size becomes...
