In social media they’ve teased “Same bold flavor. Fresh new vibe featuring “The classics you love. Elevated for the new era.”

Chef John Hawkins

In a special influencers preview on Friday night we were welcomed by front of the House Manager Dana and co-owners Demitrius and Joey with an Apple ginger fizz mocktail and some history on Flavor House. We dined in the special event space.

Then we were treated to a small taste of the menu by Chef John Hawkins that included Flavor House Rolls, Southern Fried Okra with a lemon pepper seasoning, creamy collard greens dip with house made pita chips, their amazing gumbo, a cajun fried shrimp and fish basket, rasta pasta – served w fries and chicken fontaine – Grilled chicken breast, portobello mushrooms, onions, peppers, with a parmesan cream sauce over garlic mashed potatoes.

We finished the meal off with a smooth and creamy sweet potato cheesecake that was decadently rich, washed down with one of their house cocktails, the Love TK- Hennessy, strawberry, lime and cane sugar.
