A word from Flavor Restaurant
Flavor Restaurant is an eclectic restaurant not only in cuisine, but also in entertainment. We have karaoke on Thursday night, and live music on Friday and Saturday. Well known for the breakfast offerings so we gave in and added breakfast to the dinner menu! The cuisine is a really hip mixture… of Cajun, Caribbean and American. The concept is really simple -- fresh food made with various herbs and spices. Oh so "Flavor-ful".Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "My sisters had come in from out of town to visit. I chose Flavor as the place for the evening. The food was superb. It was truly a wonderful experience until near the end when the waiters began to clear off our table. It made us feel as if they were trying to give us a subtle message that we had overstayed our welcome."

  • "Our server Deborah was great, providing great service and a sense of humor. My catfish and greens were very good and my husband enjoyed his pork chops. The fried green tomatoes were excellent and so was my pomegranate martini. This was not my first time nor will be my last."

  • "The establishment was very small with limited seating. I was told by management to call for reservations instead of using OpenTable because of a timing problem. Also, a dispute took place between another customer and management in the front doorway while we waited to be seated. Overall the food was just okay...."

  • "I love Flavors the food is excellent majority of the time they have very friendly servers, the only complaint is while you are waiting for your food they need to have your condiments on the table ex.. Every time is ordered chicken and waffles I have to wait for the syrup and by then your waffle is cold, this has happen everytime I order."

  • "I think when they deviated with different spices they missed the mark. Lemon spice in many items were the problem. The best item was the cornbread."

  • "Overall, I would give Flavor a B-.Both of my sister in laws enjoyed their meal. One had turkey meatloaf and the other had Cajun pasta. My son devoured his sweet potato pancake. I ordered the Soul Flight, which consists of Collard Greens (bland), Mac & Cheese (tasty but runny), Red Beans & Rice (decent), Mashed Sweet Potatoes (the worst sweet potatoes I have ever eaten in my life), and corn bread (good). My mother in law ordered fried catfish. She did not like it. She says that it was bland. Besides myself and my mother in law, everyone else enjoyed their meal. I would go to Flavor again, but I will not choose Soul Flight or Fried Catfish. The ambiance and the live band were good. Not for infants. Our waiter and the staff were excellent!"

  • "Flavors has great food! The servers are friendly as well but the space is small. I believe they are moving in to a larger space but other than that I have no complaints about my experience. I will definitely visit again. "

  • "I had my birthday dinner here. When I first arrived, the hostess said that she didn't see a reservation for me. I was upset because I booked through Open Table AND I called a couple of days after to confirm. She alerted the Manager and they were able to get my tables ready. Other than that, the overall service was good. The food was hit or miss to me. I ordered the fried cat fish with Mac and cheese and greens. The fish was a little bland, the macaroni was made with cheese sauce (that I didn't care for) and the greens were good. I tasted the fried green tomatoes and grit cakes which were excellent! The ribs and chicken, shrimp and grits and jambalaya were good. I didn't care for the bread pudding. The prices are low so I would return."

  • "My only disappointment was that I was told that they didn't have a reservation scheduled for me. I had to wait 40 to 45 mins for a table. I was embarrassed to be told this when I had invited two guest that had never been here before see they were not on point and that we had to wait. What is the purpose of making a reservation if they don't abide by it . They accommodated my party of three at the bar until finally a table was ready. Never did they offer anything complimentary such as drink or dessert to compensate for having to wait so long. Our meal was delightful. The red velvet cake is to die for and the peach cobbler is a close competitor to the cake. The fried grits were soooo good!"

  • "This restaurant has been getting a lot of buzz. Therefore, I wanted to try it out. The set - up of the restaurant is nice. I had shrimp and grits which was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is small and would be a great setting for a brunch. I visited on a weekend evening. They have a jazz band on the weekends. The jazz band was very loud that I couldn't comfortably speak with those @ my table. The service was great. The waitress made sure we had everything we had."

  • "Went to Flavor for my bday. With it being such a small place the live band was pretty loud, but they played a nice selection of jazz. It was just difficult to hear our soft spoken hostess. The food (salmon croquettes) was not "to die for", but I would go back to try something different. The flavored lemonades had enough sugar to give you an instant cavity. Loved the fried green tomatoes and even the little grit cakes that came with them. My dad's blackened salmon and my sons chicken wings seemed to be the entree hits. My mother's (simmered turkey?) was the last to come out, but they offered a free dessert and removed the drinks from the bill to compensate. Overall, it would be a great date night place or brunch with family or friends."

  • "When I arrived the live band was playing it was very good music to sit talk and eat with the wait staff was great informative and helpful there was someone always busy cleaning bringing anything we needed there were mixed reviews but overall my table my 6 guests really would come again."

  • "The restaurant was.just okay. When we arrived, things appeared to be disorganized...but it was packed on Valentine's day night. The food wasn't great. I did like the appetizers. I have worse experiences...and this one wasn't horrible, Im just not in any rush to go back."

  • "Flavor restaurant is a long-time favorite of mine, but my recent visit was the first time going on karaoke night. We had a blast! The food was delicious, and the crowd was filled with great singers. I even sang a couple of notes on the mic. I will definitely be back!"

  • "I had the Jambalaya it was outstanding, Great for a little café in Illinois. Service, well Brittany was very good, patient, professional and courteous. I would certainly go back and recommend it, as a matter of fact I have to several people from the area who pass by it everyday and didn't give it much thought. My lunch partner this day had the Fried Chicken and Waffles and the smaller portion of the Jambalaya. He wanted to come back for dinner! enough said..."
