Flames is on Highway 124, about a block south of the Highpoint Road-124 intersection and is in the same strip mall as Tastees. Flames is a classic neighborhood bar, some tables and booths, some televisions, roomier than some bars. It also has a couple pool tables in the back, and as you enter, a bar to the left.
Once I was seated, my waitress asked, “What would you like to drink?” Her English had a light accent, as if she was from the Caribbean. I asked for the beers on tap and selected Heineken as my best option. It came in a pretty glass, costs about $4.50.
The foods? Nothing special, until I saw the jerk chicken. I ordered that. Alabama and West Virginia were on the tube and people were playing Texas Hold ‘Em in one corner of the bar. Some time later, the jerk chicken arrived.
It was clear, almost from the start, that the chicken was smoked. You could smell it in the meat, taste it on your fingers. The chicken was really good. That little container of red in the photo? That’s hot sauce my friend, and has a bite to it. The ketchup was in bottles on tables, but not on mine. I went over and grabbed one, so I could suck down fries with my chicken.
I was surprised. This neighborhood sports bar does a very mean chicken.
Verdict: Good, dry, smoky jerk chicken is the star here. Recommended.

[…] spoken of Tastees before, a small one man Jamaican restaurant on Centerville Highway, next to Flames, and the last time I went I thought they were pretty good. But I never did get back to them to try […]

dont like it ! here why 10 dollar cover charge they search you and pat you down for what lousy food,The music sucks. Now if you are going to charge to come in to your establishment make it worth your consumer while. Only thing is decent is playing a couple games of pool. and also for 10 dollars have a decent dress codes No Thugs!

How does this place stay open is amazing to me in october 2011 I went had a great time jerk chicken excellent n music was great. Went back last week there was no jerk chicken the menu was revamped. I asked for several items to only find out they did not have any. Then the drinks were watered down very limited liquor selection. I also noticed liquor price went up which is funny considering the place is empty and they charge at door for a empty club. Sad place has so much potential
