    Food was LITERALLY amazing!!! Highly Recommend. Servers served this plate up! And I certainly devoured it!

    Lunch special with rice, Fried Chicken, and String Beans with jerk sauce
    Samantha S.

    The fried chicken was delicious, the service was nice & helpful, and the menu had many options (vegetarian & meaty) and was economical. I was glad to find an authentic neighborhood spot during my brief trip to the stadium area. I brought my relatives, and we ordered a variety of meals, which, for four people, came up to around $50, which I thought was great, not to mention this food felt healthier than a lot of other stuff we could have eaten.

    Ox-tail, rice w/beans and cabbage.

    I wanted something local and different. Flavas was not far from Yankee Stadium and looked really good. The food is served cafeteria style. I ordered the dinner plate and got rice w/beans, cabbage and ox-tail. The food was so delicious! Portion was plentiful (I did finish it all) and staff was friendly enough. The ox-tail was so tender and full of flavor. The restaurant itself was a little warm and could use some updating, but I grew up in places like this, so no biggie. I would definitely do by if I'm in the area again. Cost was around $30 with a drink. The ox-tail was one their more expensive items.

    A local recommended this place while waiting for a Yankees game. Glad we stopped by! The rice and beans+ gravy were yummy. The bbq chicken was tasty and rich. The service was average and the portions were big! Small shop with minimal seating and a quick paced feeling. Good place for a grab and go situation

    The containers the food arrived in!

    The food was not up to par with other locations that have this name. The macaroni and cheese was not made with love. You can tell it was slopped together. It was bland lacking of quality and seasoning. The products being used are not of high quality as well. The oxtails had too much fat. The yams are missing molasses. As far as authenticity is concerned it is far from being so! The delivery time was extremely fast! Not a long wait time for an order placed at 4:pm est on a Saturday afternoon!

    I visited here as it was one of the few places near Yankee Stadium that was clean and quiet. The cashier and workers that attended to me were friendly. I ordered oxtail, Mac and cheese, and cabbage with a kola drink. The Mac and cheese was just okay, nothing special. The oxtail and the sauce that it was in was too salty for my liking but the cabbage was absolutely fresh and delicious. I probably won't come back here again for oxtail but I'll try the fried chicken next time and see if there's a difference.

    Bones total bs
    Bat M.

    People do not want chicken soup with bones in it. It was not described in the menu chicken bone soup! Totally absurd! Imagine biting into 4 bones in one cup of soup .. discusting! Mashed potatoes were from a box....

    Barbecue BBQ Chicken Combo Plate

    The macaroni and cheese I ordered was OK you will definitely get plenty of food they give you plenty of food. I had barbecue chicken. The chicken was kind of dry barbecue sauce was something I never tasted. It really didn't give barbecue. I had some yams which were good. I ordered off of Uber Eats so I'm not sure about the service inside the restaurant or the ambience if I need to order something like last resort, I will order from here again.

    Oxtail Stew Combo Plate
    Austin B.

    tl;dr heavy platters of slightly pricey and okay-to-great Jamaican fare are the rage at this hole-in-the-wall takeout joint As I searched for non-stadium food around Yankees Stadium, Flavas was a routinely recommended option. And promising authentic Jamaican eats and large portions, it was an easy choice over the Hard Rock Cafe. The small space feels even smaller due to the heavy-duty glass structure fencing customers off from the kitchen. Contemporary music and chatter between patrons echo loudly around the room. The yellow walls are decked sparingly with the required NYC restaurant code posters, broken ordering touchscreens, and a muted flat-screen TV playing CNN. Two mismatched tables are squeezed into the tiny area. Mains and side dishes sit in trays along the display counter, but with such quick turnover, new batches routinely replace old ones. My girlfriend and I arrived just before 5PM, and not a moment too soon -- a line quickly began forming just after we ordered. We opted for Jerk Chicken and Oxtail Stew Combo Plates, with sides of Butter Beans and Tomatoes, Sweet Candied Yams, Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, and Ripe Plantain. Both platters were enormous: our large takeaway containers were loaded nearly to the brim. The chicken was slightly dry and therefore was well-complemented by its thick, sweet-and-spicy jerk sauce. The sauce was so good that we couldn't help but dip our plantains and mac & cheese into it. The tender oxtails, coated in a light gravy, melting in your mouth with fatty decadence. Of the sides, our favorite side was the sweet and fluffy yams. We also enjoyed the flavorful (and wholly standard) collard greens and the sweet, well-cooked (but underseasoned) plantains. Meanwhile, the mac & cheese was limp and underwhelming (despite being a fresh batch), and the beans were underwhelming and bland. Service was forgettable, but we listened as another customer complained multiple, separate times about not receiving the correct items in her order. While a few items hit the spot, others were mediocre at best. And at a hair over $40 for two (mostly comprised of the oxtail platter), Flavas was no cheap eat and won't become a regular part of my routine. However, for a hungry belly in the area looking for an eclectic cuisine, Flavas is sure to leave you satisfied.

    Vegetable Combo
    Steve A.

    A cool spot for Caribbean. Flavas is a pretty small cafe with not much room inside. It often has a long line. Better than expected. There's a computerized self order system. Especially busy before or after Yankees games. It doesn't have much room inside so you're likely taking it to go. The food isn't the best price. It helps that they give you a lot. The last time here it took awhile to make a few items that were a part of our meals. It's forgivable especially if there's a game. They have food in a combo where you choose items and sides. I like getting the vegetable combo. It's about $8 for a lot of starches and vegetables picked from a list. There's choices like okra and plantains. It has pretty healthy food. Stop before going to a game. This food is much better than anything there.

    Oxtails Lunch Special Collard Greens Mac and Cheese
    Mark Nowell M.

    Soul food is the best! This restaurant is one of the best soul food in NYC!! Location: It is located in Gerard Ave, 5 min walk from Bronx Supreme Court which I had my jury duty! The restaurant is small with few seatings inside. There is a huge line and there is a great display of food inside! Service: The 2 ladies runs this restaurant! One in the cashier and one in the food selection. They don't look stress despite of the long line. Food: I got the Lunch Special: one main course and 2 sides, the price depends on the meat. I got the OXTAIL: it was so good, and it has meat on it, unlike other oxtails that you eat on the other restaurants that is mostly bones of the oxtail, it sauce is good! MAC and CHEESE: probably the best mac and cheese I ate, does not look good but when you eat it, damn it is soo cheezy and good! GREENS: its good too, but lack of seasoning, I should have got the OKRA. Price rating: 6/10, not bad for amount of food and deliciousness you get! I bought a medium container of just the OXTAIL it cost $20 but damn it is a lot! OMG I will definitely go back here for soul food! TRY the OXTAIL and MAC and CHEESE!

    Jerk salmon
    Ari H.

    This place is ok. Maybe we came at a bad time but the food was not all that to me. I had the jerk salmon which was not that flavorful and the Rasta pasta which was a bit bland as well. The yams were really good though, and the customer service was great. My novio had the jerk chicken and greens. He said it wasn't bad. I probably won't come back here but wouldn't sway you from trying the food out.

    Is there delivery?

    Yes, there is delivery without allowing a customer to exercise the promotion. This is an unfair business practice. Change your business practice, which is not consumer friendly.

    Is the oxtail spicy?

    No it's not I just asked my boyfriend he said there is no spice

We also ordered a side of Creamy Tres Mac & Cheese and Homemade Lemonade. The food was delicious. The chicken was tender, succulent, and juicy. I really really loved the chicken sandwich. I wish I had more to eat when I was done. Our waitress, Tatiana was friendly, helpful and answered all our questions. She even brought my friend a free piece of red velvet cake for her birthday, which was extra sweet. Melba's atmosphere is unassuming as one feels welcomed and at home. We can't wait to go back!

Because they literally go together. The Mac is cheesy and cooked exactly how I want it to taste. It sticks together and is never burnt on top. But I have tried the potato salad (a hit for sure), collard greens (seasoned to perfection), and the sweet potato fries (which I don't like, because I don't really care for a sweet potato fry. But they are steak cut and glazed with a sweet yet light glaze). As for the meats: I've had the fried catfish, catfish bites, beef ribs, fried chicken breast, baked chicken breast, fried chicken wings (BBQ & Jerk), and the salmon, crabcakes, and the ultimate feast. Oh and I've had their chicken strips. By far my favorite and frequently ordered are the catfish bites and chicken strips.

The door was unlocked and when I got inside, it was dark and there was one employee present, with his head down. He then asked me if it was 1pm several times like he's not even tracking the time/ no device or watch near him, then I'm like it's 1:15pm. He is the only employee present (basically cashier, cook & anything else). I asked him about the lunch specials and to clarify which meals the deal applied to, he pointed to a chalk board with a bunch of options, I chose one from the list. Claimed order would take about 5 mins, took 15 extra minutes, made me late to work. Then when the food came out, it was $30 and the 2nd employee who had come in (late) claimed they didn't have the lunch deal anymore. I clarified that I asked the person cooking in the back (only other person there) when I arrived SPECIFICALLY about which meals the deal applied to and he gave me the choices on the board. She then looked around with a dumb look like she was confused, despite him just having given me that misinformation and he stayed quiet in the back. She basically just said well this is how much it is, expecting me to pay $30 for a meal they falsely advertised as a lunch deal. Kindly left the whole order there and said I'll talk to Yelp. Don't advertise a deal from 1-4pm and have it in writing and have employees confirming it exists and then once the food is made, expect someone to be SCAMMED and pressured into paying full price. Very disorganized, unprofessional and dishonest. What kind of business has employees forgetting to open, sleeping in the dark, other employee showing up even more late and then falsely advertises a lunch deal and the employees aren't even on the same page on whether or not it exists. Feel like they were trying to take advantage and exploit me for my $, despite it being their mistake and expecting me to just pay like a clown. Ridiculous I was late back to work, despite it being a 2 min walk from my job and me being the first customer there, 15 mins after opening. Just to not even get any food and starve all day because they advertise a lunch deal to pull people in and then charge them full price like SCAMMERS. STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOURSELF THE WASTED TIME AND EMPTY STOMACH. Love supporting my Black businesses but the few that operate like they're doing somebody a favor, or serving a free plate, need to learn what being a business looks like.
