Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, more commonly known as Fleming’s, was founded in Newport Beach, California, by Paul Fleming, who also founded P.F. Chang’s, and Bill Allen. The company operates a chain of upscale steakhouses, which offer a selection of more than 100 wines by the bottle or by the glass.
From the single location which opened in 1998, the company has now expanded to 68 locations in the US and one location in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse operates as a subsidiary of Bloomin’ Brands, who acquired the company in 1999.
The company recently announced that they would temporarily close their original location in Newport Beach, California, for a $4 million overhaul, both inside and out, including adding more than 40 seats to the restaurant and bar area. Remodeling is also scheduled to begin in late 2017 or early 2018 at the El Segundo, California, location. El Segundo will still offer patio seating during remodeling, which is expected to add 65 additional seats.
Company headquarters, once located in Newport Beach, are now located in Tampa, Florida. Most Fleming’s locations will be offering longer hours and a lunch menu will be introduced soon.

We were customers of the Metairie, LA location. To start off, we overheard a server asking the table next to us if they were there for a special occasion he should be aware of. Our server didn’t even bother even though we were there to celebrate MY birthday. Our sever really didn’t give us the time of day unless she needed to. Her back server, Thomas, was AMAZING! He should have been the server. After our dining experience, which a thomas made it to be as o special, we asked why he wasn’t a server. He said that he needed to be promoted to be one. So, I went to the GM (general manager). He told me “Thomas is happy where he was.” FYI: Thomas is African-American, GM: Caucasian. The more I tried to emphasize that Thomas would be a better asset as a server, I kept getting a negative feedback to promote Thomas. It was at that moment, I affirmed how racist this restaurant truly is. Of all the severs I observed this particular evening, only one female African-American server and all the rest were Caucasian. It’s sad to see how rampant racism truly exists, even in today’s age. I’m sorry to say that we probably will not return. And on another note: what happened to the dress code???????? Sad to see the direction where THIS location is heading. And, if any representative from Fleming’s is reading this, please feel free to contact me. I will be more than happy to discuss this matter further!
I am in the medical field and signed onto a contract for 10 people in there private room. $1500 plus tax and gratuity. No problem. Well the issue came when my presenter had an emergency and can not make the dinner which would not be a program without him. Told the event planner 48hrs in advance that I need to cancel this date but we will reschedule in 2 weeks and I will send you a new date. He said nope you will be billed the full $1500 loss of revenue. All I wanted to do was move the date. FOR ANY MEDICAL COMANY WHO DO DINNERS ON A REGULAR BASIS W THIS COMPANY DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE NOT FLEXIABLE LIKE ALL THE OTHER ONES WE USE!! HORRIBLE THEY HAVE MOVED OTHER DATES FOR PEOPLE BUT CHOOSE TO NOT MOVE MINE??? THOUSANDS WILL BE LOST WITH MEDICAL/PHARMA COMPANIES I WILL BLAST THIS OUT UNLESS THERE IS A RESOLUTION!!!

My name is Mary Hopkins.An I visited Flemings Prime steakhouse at 6245 Poplar Ave an observed 3 gentleman in the back of the restaurant smoking marijuana. I went into the restaurant an informed one of the managers Mr.Paul an nothing was done about it. An on another occasion I also saw some young lady that work at this restaurant smoking marijuana. This place needs to be drug test immediately. If something isn’t done about this by Monday I will inform the police department. This is very unprofessional.
Yes I was currently hired by Flemmings and during my training I had to take an assessment about the thanksgiving and holiday menu. Later to find out there was a competition for whatever stores employees finished the computer first. My general manager (Alyssa Hoskins took it upon herself to dictate the answers to us so we could finish promptly and win the contest. I found the whole training process unprofessional micromanaged and confusing.
Suggestions when a corp manager is in to inspect one don’t do a bar inspection on Saturday night. Two it would go a long way if that corp person would at least speak to the guest instead of making them feel like a bother.
Need to be more professional
SEXIST AND RACIST!!!!!
We visited Flemings in Metairie, LA. We had issues from the beginning of the visit. We are an African American family, they sat us in the very back of the restaurant. Everyone ordered their drinks, including my husband who ordered a Corona. The waiter did not card him or ask how old he was. He received his drink with no issues. Once everyone settled, I decided to order a drink, he asked for my ID, which is red flag number one because he did not card my husband. I looked in my purse to discover that I left my ID at home, so I pulled up a copy of my ID. He said “I’m not about to risk losing my job over giving you a drink with no ID”. I simply stated “you did not card my husband, but it’s no big deal, that’s okay”. My husband was not happy with the way he responded and asked for the manager. The manager comes out to then agree with the waiter who was in the wrong. How can you card one person at the table and not card the others or even look at the virtual copy of the ID. The manager was VERY irate, loud and aggressive. We decided to leave the restaurant. This situation was very sexist and racist from the beginning.
We aren’t African-American, but observed similar situation. This restaurant truly is racist, which is sad. Everyone deserves the same treatment!
Your post is from 2021. Today is 7/30/23, as me it seems nothing has changed! Everyone, regardless of race, should be tested fairly!
On 07/16/2021 @4:10pm. Me (Erica Askins) and 7 other of guests was at your Fleming restaurant at the location of 6515 S Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, Nevada in the town center. It was for my cousin 60th Birthday. I’m writing in reference to that two of my out of state guests gotten so sick from the sea bass meal they ordered. My guests vomit in your parking lot and all night. They couldn’t even enjoy the rest of the night with the out of town family. I called the restaurant back when they open to inform the manager on duty 07/17/2021 Raul. Raul was so rude and not caring at all about my guests. Not once Raul asked me about my guests. Raul say to me oh they couldn’t gotten sick here cause it’s take 24 hours before you can get food poisoning. We were seated at 8:05pm and didn’t leave there until 11:00 pm. I couldn’t even get a question in. I was trying to see if they used peanut oil to sautéed the the sea bass. Raul was so defensive. I have eaten at some of the best of the best steak house. Ruth Chris’s, Maestro, Morton’s the Steaks House. I spent over $600 on my bill only and the other guests spent over $250 on their bills at this location to celebrate my cousin 60th Birthday. I’m very disappointed with the response I gotten for your management Raul.
I have a gift card that was purchased for us 6/14/20. As you know covid took over and the restaurant closed for a while. We were finally able to use the gift card last night as it was for our anniversary. This gc was locked in my safe until lady night and yet when we presented it we were told that bit was used on April 23rd. They couldn’t tell us where. Really?? No one used this gc!! It’s a Flemings e-card not a gc that could be used to several places. We had to pay with our Own money and sent home to call Flemings gc line. No one had helped me! A supervisor named Jillian was going to call and never did. I spoke to at least 6 people overseas who also couldn’t help. Is this a scam? First of all there is NO expiration date anywhere on this email gc and even if there was doesn’t anyone remember that the country was locked down for months? My kids that bought this for us couldn’t afford to do it and now that money is out the window? Are you kidding me? How could your records be so wrong as to tell the restaurant that it was already used and now I can’t get my kids money back? My daughter works 7 days a week with autistic kids and doesn’t have time to spend hours on the phone like I did today to get no where. It was our cash and now I want it back! The card was never used !!! I want our money back.
Fleming’s Prime steakhouse on poplar Ave in Memphis is horrible. One of the dishwasher stinks so bad the foul smell that comes off him when he walks pass you is really bad. I have reported this to the manager on several occasions but seems as if nothing is done about it. They will never receive my services again. The young man with the dreadlocks something needs to be done about him immediately
My visit at Fleming’s was horrible. One of the dishwasher walk pass me an had an horrible odor on him an this is often. He doesn’t even look clean his uniform is always dirty..
We made reservations for Dec 24 and arrived at 5 Pm on time. We were taken to a horrible small noisy table and requested a change. They then moved us up to the upper level but were told we could not sit down as there had been an incident with a broken glass so we were seated about 10 mins later. I showed our waiter a $100 gift card that we wanted to use. He told us this was ok and then said we could not combine this with any of our dining rewards. I told him this made no sense as the $100 gift card was a cash reward and should not effect the dining reward usage. He passed this on to the manager who arrived and said to us let him check and he will be right back. He then handed
back our credit card with no charges and gave us another $50 gift card to compensate for part of our $100 gift car usage. He further stated that no dining rewards would be used. We checked our account today and were shocked to see that Flemings charged our dining rewards account for $80!!!!. Why!. We called the restaurant and spoke to the the manager on duty (Mr Don Murphy) and obviously he was not focused on what I was saying as I had to repeat myself again and again. He was not trained as a manager to listen. As a matter of fact your people are not trained at all. You could take lessons from the Capital Grill!
We had a corporate party at Flemings Brickell Miami yeaterday 11/20 at 7 pm. Horrible experience, the microphone didn’t work well to start. Managers were trying to overcharges us by $2000 when confronted they gave me a hard time. It felt like we were scammed. They reduced tips and taxes, but we still over paid $1500
Paid for extra $1500 for 15 no-shows people and were not even offered to take the food to go.
Extra $1500 and they told me they would throw the food out. Total scam. Horrible experience.. Great food, but managers were very eager to overcharge like they income was tied to our check.

I received via mail a postcard promotion from Flemings steakhouse.
please Remove my name and Address from your direct marketing mailing list.
I would like to hear a response back, thank you.
as a Magnum Club member Rancho Mirage#1 I have been to many events at various Flemings locations. On Oct 5th I was a guest at a 70th Birthday in Newport Beach. The food so so outstanding, the presentation so beautiful. The waiter in charge, Brian Cohn is a gem
of the rarest quality. His attention, anticipation and joy in attending to our needs was above and beyond the call.
The room was well decorated, the choice of champagne and wine was superb and most generously poured.
Flemings was truly a “10” that evening.
