The staff here truly knows what they are doing. The shrimp was seasoned to perfection, and the French fries were great as well. The hush puppies were delicious, although the portion size was quite small. They are so competent that they even poke holes in the to-go box to prevent the food from sweating. I would give this place a 10 out of 10 and would definitely come again. I can't wait to try more dishes at Flava Shack Seafood! Edit: I returned for the catfish plate and didn't enjoy it much. The fish was really soft (not crispy), and I felt it could've used more seasoning. The fried shrimp was still on point! They didn't poke holes in my carryout box this time (we added them ourselves), so the food sweated a little bit. read more

Have eaten here a few times. Service is good. I had a salad, catfish wings and alfredo. Only impressed with the alfredo, it's really good and you get a very large helping. The prices are pretty standard for this type of establishment. I'm not sure why, but the last couple of times I visited, there was a foul odor in the lobby area like sewage. read more

Good reasonable priced food though not always consistent with the use of seasoning.... This really is a sit down restaurant until they address their food delivery system. The food, though very good, does not always travel well... For example, I ordered the Nachos-a fav of mine. And the toppings were fabulously "to die for"; however, the chips should have been delivered separately as they were more like soft tortillas. Luckily we keep thin tortillas as snacks. (The delivery packaging needs to be addressed seriously as it -on more than one occasion- allowed for the food to arrive soggy.) The Nachos would have been perfect if we had eaten in! Ask lots of questions the people want you to be satisfied customers. If ordering take-out give specific instructions and you will receive what you anticipated!! Enjoy!! read more

We tried Flava Shack for the first time although it's right around the corner! The server was so kind and sweet and took good care of us! The fried shrimp was crispy with great flavor...and so many!! The garlic broccoli was delicious and the grilled salmon highly recommended! We took home strawberry cake from West Side BBQ in New Albany (Wow!) read more

I ordered off one of those delivery apps and the food was great.   I ordered the Seafood Nachos. Came with crawfish, shrimp, corn, and other items. They gave me 4 containers of queso cheese, and 3 containers of salsa, sour cream, and special sauce. The nachos were huge and delicious. This is the second time I have ordered from this place and I want to visit them in person. I just ordered the Fish & Grits and it tasted great. The sauce is amazing. read more

This food was absolutely delicious! I had the seafood nachos and they were everything! They were packed with corn, crab meat, lobster, crawfish and more. The cheese and special sauce made them all the better. They come with salsa and sour cream, but I promise you don't need them at all. I also had the crawfish dip. It was super flavorful and creamy with just enough meat and cheese. The warm chips and fresh bread slices that it came with is super delicious. I can eat them alone. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The space is huge. They have also added a new bar area with unique and traditional drinks. Definitely a gem to the Olive Branch area! read more

Very good food and nice service. Walked in and seated ourselves. Server informed us that the drink machine was down but they had soda in cans and they would still be free refills. I was shocked cause most would've said you had to buy each can. We had the fried shrimp, fried catfish and salmon entrees and were really pleased by portions and flavor. Y'all please support this small business. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food is great!!! Service was on point too. Nice ambiance setting too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flava shack and have all of my money. Their food is sooo good! I was in town visiting relatives and was looking for something to eat in the area. I got on Yelp and saw Flava Shack and decided I'd eat there. Once I got to my relative's home, they said that I should check out Flava Shack (before I told them I was thinking of going there). The menu alone had my mouth watering, but when I saw the pics I was sold! I got the seafood nachos and the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli and it was all delicious. I love visiting my family, but I can't wait to get back to Olive Branch so that I can try some more Flava Shack! read more

The food was amazing! Well worth the wait. Call ahead because everything is made Fresh!! Well seasoned,large portions and you can definitely tell that the chef put love in his food. I highly recommend this flavorful food.You will not be disappointed read more

Sooo Yummy! Hit all of the right notes on my palate!! Wonderful staff! My sons are begging to go back!! We thought they were closed but when we peeked in, we were pleasantly surprised that they were open. They own a couple of the adjacent suites which includes the dine-in/takeout restaurant portion and a lounge as well. I peeked in about four of the Flava Shack windows until I found the restaurant! They normally have take out only but have secured more staff and now offer dine-in. We ordered the Shrimp & Grits with fried catfish, chicken wings and fries and the shrimp skewers and fries. My sons are very picky eaters.. but they emptied their plates. AND they started asking for the shrimp on our plates!! Perfectly cooked shrimp with lots of flavoring. The staff were super nice. They kept our cups full of lemonade and water without us asking. We felt so welcomed. We will have to go back again!! read more

The first time we were here, it was amazing. The pasta is piping hot, which we love our food hot and the flavor was amazing. I got the catfish and shrimp platter and it was really good. It takes a minute to get your food because it's cooked to order but is definitely worth the wait. Make sure you eat your food while it's hot. read more

Yummy food. Just wish they had better dine in service. It's become mostly carry out

The food here is absolutely incredible! 10 out of 10. Great service too. Everyone is very friendly. We had the shrimp and grits and salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I live and Dallas and was in town visiting family. I was so impressed with how good the food was. Highly recommended! read more

This place has definitely got some Flava. I had the fried catfish and man it was loaded down with flavor. No doubt worth trying. The catfish comes with fries, cole slaw and hush puppies all of which have their own individual blend of seasonings. I can't wait to go back and try something else. Update - The following day around 6pm on Friday, I tried to call in a to go order. The girl said they weren't accepting orders at this time. The next day (Saturday) I attempted to use Yelp to place a to go order around 6:30pm. I received a message stating that they were not taking orders at this time. I tried again around 7:00pm. I received the same message again. I then attempted to call my order in only to receive a busy signal. At 7:30pm I called in again, this time someone answered but immediately put me on hold. I was on hold for 9 minutes and then disconnected. Based on their service, I am updating my review. The food might be good but, they obviously aren't staffed enough to handle a large call in volume. My ratings are very well documented. I think it's completely fair to deduct a star for a failed order attempt . Four order attempts without success means your food might be good but your service completely SUCKS. ONE STAR FOR SERVICE. read more

This was a welcomed delight on a rainy day. This little gem is tucked away in a strip plaza next to a nail shop. Who knew you could find happy in a bag. Everything was full of flavor and there was plenty to fill you up if your a big eater or share. My family enjoyed their meals as well. The bow on this gift was the owner and her daughter serving, 2 lovely lady's helping make you feel welcomed. read more

Besides me and 2 other tables the restaurant was empty. Many customers orders pick-up. Probably to avoid the mandatory 18% added to the bill. Service was good, but again the restaurant was empty. Food was delicious. read more

Flava Shack Seafood - Fried Shrimp with Mac and cheese - Seafood Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I'm struggling with this review. I ordered the blackened fish and grits. I can see the potential. The blackened fish was delicious and had sauce to top the dish with. However, The fish was just a little undercooked... You know catfish undercooked catfish is problematic. The grits were not my favorite. There was a lot of them but they had a really poor texture. I am giving some grace because it was the end of the day and probably they had been cooking for a long time. I believe that this restaurant is probably really good. I will return The next time I am in town it is certainly worth another shot. I'm going to recommend it. read more

We found this place on Yelp & we are so happy that we did! We are traveling back home after being on vacation & we will definitely come back anytime we are in the area. The food was absolutely delicious & the Staff was amazing For starters we had the Crawfish Dip which came with chips and bite sized Naan, it's to die for! I ordered the Fried Catfish & Grits and added some Cajun Grilled Shrimp, the serving was quite large & as much as I wanted to eat it all, I simply could not but I can't wait to eat the leftover for Breakfast My husband had the King Seafood Sampler with Grilled Asparagus & Jalapeño Coleslaw ( not really spicy ) He loved his & said that the fried Lobster Tail was the Bomb! The Caramel Brownie Cheesecake was To Go, it looks amazing & I'm sure it will taste as GOOD as it looks We will definitely go back!!!! read more

First time here. Had the Seafood Pasta. Shrimp, a crab leg and crawfish. Very good. My bride had the shrimp and grits and it was awesome too. The staff was friendly and prompt. Only real complaint was that our booth table wobbled. For a brand new location, that's a big fail. read more

Flava Shack Seafood - Seafood Pasta. Looks Delish! - Seafood Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

My daughter and I tried Flava Shack out this evening for dinner. It was very easy to find and in a very good location. The inside decor is very nice and plenty of space. We were greated by Brianna whow was very friendly and helpful with suggesting what was good on ymthe menu. She said named several items which was good. I love when a waiter/waitress know what items are popular and very delicious. For the appetizer we had the crawfish dip which was delicious as well as the presentation. The dip is a good flavor amd served with pita and tortilla chips which were warm and delicious with the chips. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. They have a variety of food options from burgers, shrimp, pasta, quesadillas, crab legs, salmon, lobster, po-boys, fish and grits, steak, salads, seafood nachos For our meal we both had the cajun catfish crowd crispy with fries minus the cole slaw, I got double fries and my daughter got fries and mac n cheese. The mac n cheese is delicious and is made with penne pasta which holds the cheese well and the temperature of it was perfect... I could have eaten the mac n cheese and I will definitely get the mac n cheese as a side every time I go there. The catfish was fried crispy per our request and it was delicious with a very good flavor, every bite was crispy.. Thank you Flava Shack I truly enjoyed my meal this evening. I appreciate the friendly staff especially Brianna. I will definitely come back again to try something different on your menu. read more

First let me say, this review is strictly based on appearance only; I have yet to taste the food. So I ordered the cajun ribeye with broccoli and a loaded baked potato. I also ordered the King of the Sea sampler. Let me just say "sample" is the right word. The entree comes with a lobster tail, 5 jumbo shrimp & 3 pieces of catfish. Pieces is the exact way to describe what I received. See photos below. Now, the ribeye is extremely appealing to eye!! And was still smoking with steam on arrival. I will not say I will never patronize this business again BUT I will spend $25 on something else on the menu before I pay money for samples. read more

Omgee when I arrived the fist night I couldn't find this place! I found it order the shrimp

I had the pleasure of ordering takeout from This wonderful seafood place and definitely enjoyed my meal. I ordered the "Shack Combo" which came with snow crab legs, a hard boiled egg, potatoes and corn on the cob. For seasoning I selected the butter garlic and added on Cajun seasonings. As for the quality of food it was amazing, the seasoning covered every inch of the food inside. Every bite was juicy and cooked to perfection. I couldn't get enough, I even ate some of my co-diners left overs. If you're looking for a low key place with quality that matches an upscale restaurant this is definitely the place to go. In addition the service was spectacular, the staff was polite and even helped carry the food to our car in the parking lot. I cannot wait to return to this place and enjoy another meal. read more

WOW! Southern TN seafood made RIGHT. The food tasted so fresh. Not to mention, the food was seasoned so well. The catfish was crispy and it was fulfilling. The asparagus was not chewy of too crunchy. Whoever cooked it, did an amazing job. The shrimp on the screwers were a good size. They were not the extra small shrimp for $20. I tasted every bit of lemon juice, seasoning, butter. Like everything else, the salmon, broccoli, and slaw stuck a home run. I will definitely be back! read more

Delicious and worth the prices. Have been a few times and got the seafood pasta and catfish dinner. Both meals on point. Will be back soon

Outstanding food!! The blackened catfish and grits with creole sauce was unbelievably good. Went back the next night for a Salmon Caesar salad which might have been the best salmon I have eaten in 60 years! Don't be put off by the simplistic decor - this place is definitely worth a trip. Oh and try the strawberry cake! read more

This place is GOOD! Quite frankly I feel like this is a better seafood restaurant than any place on the gulf coast. They have their own seasoning that goes on everything and that's a good thing. I just adore the cajun crawfish dip. I always get the fried shrimp and they are fresh, plump and delicious - get the shack sauce to dip them on for a real treat! The service is a little slow but your food will come out hot and fresh so it's worth it. read more

The wait time if you're dining is ... usually a bit much! But their food is delicious.. call in and pick up is much better! Haven't been there in a minute but you should definitely try them read more

Great 1st time visit! I visited this place over the past weekend. We did not have to wait for a table.The prices are great for a seafood restaurant. The menu is small, but there is something for everyone, even if you don't like seafood. It's a very casual place. You definitely do not have to dress up. I ordered the Fish (fried) and Grits. The fish was seasoned well. The grits could have been a little thinner (kinda stiff), but still good. I had to ask for more of the cream sauce that goes on top because it was a lot of grits. All in all, I will definitely return to try more options. read more
