This is one of the few comfort food Coffee Shop Restaurants around. I celebrated my birthday there today in the early afternoon. Carlos was our server and could have not been more helpful. He navigated 6 adults and two young children with ease making sure everyone's order was correct when they came out.Flames has quite an extensive menu, giving you a choice of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Prices are still reasonable , no surcharge for egg even during the bird flu, nice kid's menu,Carlos made food suggestions and made sure everyone received just what they ordered.The staff came to table with a birthday ice cream dish complete with candle, and sang happy birthday to me,If you are looking for good food in a place that is old school, this is your place,

My friend and I came here on a Friday evening and it was mildly busy. They have a good menu to choose from and I especially like you can have breakfast all day. My friend and I both got the club sandwich. I got the potato salad and she for fries. It was very delicious and a hearty portion. I would definitely order it again. I also love the interior of this location. It's super retro and gives that true diner vibe. Our server was nice and attentive. If you're looking for a good diner with great food then you should try this spot!

I'm so used to the Flames near SJSU during college days & I haven't been in one since...which is a while ago but when I came here during lunch near work & I knew I couldn't get a mad meal here. I can't remember exactly but got a sandwich with a creamy pesto with a side of fries & it was all deliciously filling. Staff was attentive & friendly. The diner setup is relaxing & it's spacious.

Hey there Party PeopleSome times you just want a good old fashion diner experience...pull yourself up to the counter have that black cup of coffee and just soak up the atmosphere. Flames is that dinerThe food is always big and tasty weather you are going for that stick to your ribs breakfast or a ginormous salad or sandwich.My hubby and I went for breakfast omelets this time and it was great We just couldn't pass up the Garlic Bread with feta cheese as well as the Potato Skins. Next time we are definitely going to do the lunch side of the menu

Quite possibly the worst restaurant in San Jose. I would feel bad if I let my enemies go there. Food, service, ambiance zero.

This is a little restaurant/diner which is popular with the older crowd especially during the week. I was in the area for a test and was craving diner food. It wasn't busy and the menu wasn't overwhelming.Settled on coffee and the Santa Fe Crepes. Food came out quickly and fast. The serving size was pretty good. So much so that I had a left over crepe to have later. Cute spot. Reminded me of a so cal diner chain called Spires.

I had not been to the flames in about 20 years, but it was just as good as I remembered, and had not changed much. Big cakes in the display, extensive menu, friendly service, and the food was good. The decor is great and I'll go back sooner!

The food here is really good, the service is what makes me give it such a low review. If you're not a person over 50 years old brace yourself, you're about to be ignored the whole time and the servers won't even bother turning your way. Doing myself a favor and ordering takeout next time
