Flame & Fire Brazilian Steakhouse

My favorite place in Bakersfield to go and eat a large variety of meats. Food is fantastic. Drinks are interesting, unique, and classy. The Rodizio dinner is the way to go, however you can still leave satisfied with the market table (you won't get the meats but they still have salmon, salad, cheese, soups, etc.) if you're feeling extra the tomahawk steak was fun and tasty. You can order it on the bone or off. At times the meats come around your table a little slow, the rare occasions where this has happened for me a simple word with your server fixes this issues in haste and does not deter from the experience. Do not skip out on the melted cheese (idk the exact name of this) or the pineapple, thank me later!The patio is my favorite place to sit with heaters and a fireplace to add to the ambiance of making that special night special.

This is a crappy restaurant masquerading as a high class establishment. On the website, it says that there is a dress code and that you could be refused service.... In the restaurant, there were sloppily dressed people, sweats, CROCS, goth Metallica boots. The website portrays an image that they are trying to exude, yet the restaurant is complete opposite. I don't feel comfortable following dress code and paying top dollar to be around others who don't respect the rules. I could have gone to Applebees for that. Waiter took waaaaaay too long to attend to our table. As if we were there on his convenience, as likewise could not answer a simple question with more than a shrug, clueless expression, and his hands up in defeat. No pride in his workplace, it's merely a paycheck and he just works there.When this was conveyed to the hostess up front as we were leaving, LITERAL deer in headlights. Like it was over her head and probably incomprehensible what I was saying or the importance of creating that atmosphere because if you don't even have common sense, how could you truly understand a dress code environment? She had ZERO customer service skills or de-escalation/recovery techniques. No "sorry for your experience" or "sorry for letting that get by". Just a shrug and a 'wait til she is finished talking' nod. Customer service is definitely lost on this place. For those thinking of eating here, remember, you are paying top dollar for EXPERIENCE and food. Not just the food. No one is trying to spend $220 for two people when the staff is clueless and dismissive and the fellow restaurant goers look like they just rolled out of bed. Key point: come as you are. Wear your Hello Kitty pajamas here. They don't care too much about reputation so much as getting your $160 for their over priced food. For actual fine dining, go to Zama's or Brazas. DO NOT take your date here if you are trying to impress.

Visited on a Saturday evening for a small birthday gathering. The inside and outside are beautiful. They also have a nice bar area. The staff is friendly and attentive. There are plenty of drink options on the menu including wines and cocktails. The price is a little high, but you pay for the experience. All the food had great flavor. I highly recommend making a reservation. We had a 7:45 reservation and we still had about a 15 min. Wait. Also, there was a 18% gratuity charge for our group of 6.

Highly, highly recommend this experience. It was definitely very fancy but wow, everything was delicious. They also accomodated us really nicely since one of us could not eat beef. Therefore, they took out more chicken and pork dishes. The side dish buffet was also amazing. I was in shock by how much food were available.

Quick SummarySolid Brazilian Steakhouse with their AYCE experience. Really good happy hour menu at their bar area. Great spot if you have a craving and don't want to drive over to LAFood- 4 starsThe meat seasoning can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's perfectly seasoned, and other times it's underseasoned. They also leaned more well done the last time I went, but you can always ask for rarer pieces. The salad bar is pretty solid.The main gem is their happy hour. Similar to other Brazilian Steakhouses, the burger is likely using fresh grounded beef in-house (which makes sense to reduce meat waste from their AYCE experience). Only downside is that they have limited happy hour times vs Fogo de Chao having it all day.Service- 4 starsThe ambiance is nice, as tables are pretty spaced out, plenty of seating, and it's very clean and modern. Servers can be a hit or miss, as you have some staff who constantly check on you, but other times when you have to call someone overBottom LineSolid Brazilian Steakhouse with an AYCE experience that can be a hit or miss. The happy hour at the bar area is fantastic. I love how Bakersfield is getting more diverse and higher end restaurants. Keep them coming!

Best Dinner and date spot in Bakersfield! Food is always consistently phenomenal as well as the service. Bartenders are great and always so nice. Owners and managers always around making sure guest experiences are top notch. Love this place so much it's become our regular date night place.

I had a pretty good experience here. No complaints. It was very busy when I went. The meat quality is good. The bisque was a little plain but there were other options too. Not sure it's worth the price if you do not eat a lot so I would go when you're really hungry

Went last night for Valentine's Day. Valentino was our server again. He's the best, very tentative to what we need. Food is awesome like always.

The food is delicious! Service is amazing and the ambiance is nice. Definitely a fun place to go for a date night. We have enjoyed ourselves and tell everyone about this place.

The experience of this place is the big draw! The food is great and it's perfect if you're on a keto/carnivore diet! By the time I tasted all the different meat options I had had a full meal! Of course the service is great cause there's always someone walking around! It's a beautiful restaurant, so comfortable and clean and inviting! just know it's a hefty price tag compared to other restaurants, but worth it.
