FlameStone’s Tableside Guacamole is an experience that is unlike any guacamole you have ever tasted. Made tableside using a traditional Molcajete, we only use Haas Avocados and the freshest ingredients possible. It is truly amazing.If a great steak is your weakness, you’ll love our steaks. At FlameStone we grill our steaks over an open flame and only use Stock Yards Chicago Angus Beef that is 28 day aged and that are hand cut on premises.

The new menu has some wonderful options. It was tough making a decision on what to order because I could have easily ordered several different dishes. I settled on the Bronzed Red Drum fish which was excellent! & cooked to perfection.
