Flamestone American Grill

Flamestone in Oldsmar offers a great dining experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting. The food selection and quality were great, though it's a bit on the pricier side, it's not bad, considering what you're getting.Our server, a friendly French man (unfortunately, I can't remember his name), was absolutely fantastic! He was personable, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. Though Flamestone is known for its land dishes, I went with the sea. The grouper did not disappoint. The sauce was delicious, and it was paired perfectly with a savory Parmesan risotto. I would also highly recommend the fried Oreos for dessert! They were so yummy, paired with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely return!

Let me start by saying, we frequent this Flamestone location regularly, like every month and every year for New Year's Eve, our party of 12+ reserves the room by the bar for our annual New Year's Eve dinner. However, this review is about a recent visit and really, the last two times we have gone, their food and service has been 'off'. This Oldsmar location is always packed, so the wait isn't the issue, but the food for this visit was so below the usual taste and presentation, that a review was necessary. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer we ordered was delicious. The hubby ordered the grouper sandwich, fried, for his entree and it had no flavor, like unseasoned, and the remoulade sauce was not added to the sandwich. We asked our server for it, and it was brought out, but it was her lack of attention to 'care' that we aren't used to at Flamestone. She dropped off the sauce and left in a hurry. His sandwich came with cold fries and by the time a new batch came out, he had finished his food and we were ready to go. I ordered the steak fajitas and let's just say, Flamestone needs to get out of the fajita business. If fajitas don't arrive to the table still sizzling, then something was done wrong. The meat was soaked in the juice and the veggies looked like they were added after the meat was cooked, so they didn't appear to be seasoned or cooked. Again, our server didn't ask about them, only dropped them off and kept moving. My food came with truffle fries, I'm assuming, but I didn't see that on the special menu and when she dropped them off, she did just that and kept moving. Our server, Jessica, was in a rush all night. Yes the restaurant was busy, but rushing our service is never a good idea. She never asked how our food was until we asked for to go boxes. She did keep our refills on drinks, she did that in a hurry too, but again, she didn't seem to care that I packed all of my food away. She never asked how my dish was or if she could do anything to make it better. It was almost as if she was trying to rush us through our dinner so we didn't have the opportunity to let her know how our food truly was. It was a bad experience for our dinner, one that left a bad taste in our mouth (pun intended). I'm adding a pic of my 'fajitas' for reference and I only wish I would have gotten a pic of the soggy fries that went with them. This will not stop us from visiting this location, but it will make me be more vocal moving forward about the service rendered if it is below standards. And this last experience was way below standards.

Why 5 Stars? Because the steaks were insane, the staff was super friendly, and the vibe made it feel like we were hanging out at a friend's place (who just happens to cook amazing food).We took the family--my wife, our son, and my mother-in-law--to Flamestone American Grill and decided to share the massive bone-in ribeye (yep, the cowboy cut). Let's just say it came out cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and totally worth every bite. Even my son, who's not always the most adventurous eater, loved the rare pieces. He basically inhaled his share with a side of fries before I could even blink. Ha ha! We had some Bocelli wine that also really tasted great with steak!My mother-in-law went for the French onion soup and then had a filet. Now, she can be a tough crowd, but this time she just kept nodding her head with this "oh my goodness, so good" face. Trust me, that's like a standing ovation in her book.After polishing off that huge steak, we all realized we were way too full for a heavy dessert, so the grown-ups settled for cappuccinos as a sweet finish. The cappuccinos were spot-on, with that perfect foam and smooth espresso that just makes you smile and think, "Yup, this hits the spot."All in all, Flamestone American Grill nailed it. Amazing meal, comfy atmosphere, and staff that treated us like regulars on our very first visit. I'm already planning the next trip back--maybe next time I'll manage to snag a few more fries from my son's plate!

OMG! If you ever want an incredible meat experience, you GOT TO TRY this place.Had the prime rib with Caesar salad with fresh guacamole appetizer. When I say FRESH guacamole it is table side! The Caesar salad dressing is unbelievable light and tasty. The prime rib is one the BEST EVER! Tender and juicy as well as flavorful.The side broccoli and green beans- holy Moley! Sooooo full and soooo content. The server was awesome as well. Dam! Wish they had more places. I would be here EVERY week. Ps: others had the filet mignon- VERY TENDER juicy and flavorful.

This was our first time here, and it's same to say that we'll be back. Our server (Taylor) was friendly and on point. The manager checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed, and the food was delicious.We started with the Tina Tower, then I got the Braised Short Rib and my wife got the Steak Frites. The same wife talked me into the "Old Fashioned Flight," which consists of two (thankfully smaller amounts) Old Fashioneds made with a spirit of your choice. (I went with a "safe" choice of Angel's Envy but took a chance on a 12 yr old Scotch. Both were good)The only "negative" was that the lighting was pretty low and the menu text was a bit small. (Because I have "old man eyes," my wife had to read the menu to me )Next time I'll just read the menu online before we go. Problem solved!

Great place for a date night or girls night.We came on a Thursday night and it was decently crowded. It's big so no issues with parking or getting a table, but you can tell this restaurant is popular.We started with the Tableside Guacamole and got vegetables. I love that they give you a vegetable option. It is very good and you can see them cut up the avocados, so it's very avocado forward.Then for my main I got the steak salad. I asked for the steak medium rare, but it was more medium. It was still great though and I would definitely get it again.Our server was pretty slow, which I found surprising since he mentioned at the beginning he knew we were hungry. I also tried a dirty martini and it was pretty good, no complaints here. I will definitely come back.

Great ambiance, feels upscale but prices for food is still reasonable. The server was great and answered all our group's questions. I got the maple bourbon glazed salmon which had a great sweet and salty flavor with the thick piece of salmon. The sweet mashed potato and the campfire veg (mainly green beans with bell pepper and onion) went well with it as sides. We got an extra side of lobster mac n cheese, and it was so deliciously cheesy with big chunks of lobster.I was intrigued seeing the campfire s'mores at another table, so we got that as well. It was marshmallows on sticks with a little tableside fire, so it wasn't anything sophisticated, but it was a great group dessert and fun for kids.Everyone had a good time, the food was great, and the service was quick. It was a great dining experience.

FLAMESTONE: May 30th, 2024Getting settled in Oldsmar, FL., we all agreed on Flamestone for dinner. We got in our rental, put the address in the navi and drove approximately 400 feet. An entire 400 hundred feet?! Two + pedestrian friendly, curvy blocks! That was a laugh! The restaurant is a brisk 3 minute walk from the door of our hotel to the restaurant. My bad! Did I not realize that the restaurant was literally a cartwheel away? Nope. My Yelp brain was no where in high gear. To add to my faux pas, I didn't even check if reservations were required. I'll admit, I've been a mess these past several weeks. Anywho, despite my misguiding, as we walked in, with our non-reservation selves, the friendly and understanding hostess lead us to a round table with very comfortable seating. Describing Flamestone, with its dark woods and candled modern-type ambiance. I'd say it's like a southern cousin of Capital Grill, fulfilling all of our needs with an assortment of shareable apps and individual entrees. Food was great. Aside from the food, our server JP (Jean Paul), with his wonderful French accent was a pleasure. He was a great representation of his country plus an accommodating server, who put the cherry on top our first Flamestone experience. This once disoriented Yelper recommends. TIP: Reservations required :)

Great cocktails and food. Good customer service and nice ambiance. Will return soon. It's been years since we have been there. Was not sure what to expect but it did not disappoint!!

Great ambiance, excellent service and delicious dinner. We shared an entree and salad. Grilled grouper, cooked to perfection! Wish there was one in our town! Worth the trip, definitely! We'll be back.
